LOL THERES BARELY ANYTHING SHOWN

Hahahha but seriously how could that deflate your hype? There's almost nothing to go off of.


He looks and sounds awful, I'm hoping he makes himself bigger for the rest of the movie as I'm not a fan of anything or anyone that short, Fingers crossed though as Oscar is very capable.

I want this to be good but i'm having a hard time getting hyped for anything with Jubilee in it. It's like a mental block from professor X in my childhood or one of those conditioned responses where whenever i see a yellow jacket I reflex puke.

Crossing fingers.
 
They're filming at my old high school. Centennial Regional high which is the biggest English High School in Quebec, about 10 minutes from where I live now.

Montreal is basically X-men town lol. We have really big movie sound / stages and I would see the set from the final scenes in Days of Future Past daily.

I'll check it out tomorrow and see if I can get any pics.

Holy shit that's Heritage!

I went there!
 
lololol at people saying he looks bad off of a potato quality vid. From the blurry pixels I can even tell he looks more faithful to comic designs than 99% of other stuff out there these days.

Yeesh some people, so quick to grab the pitchforks.

Yeah, I don't understand the hate. It's clear they're going to do proper ADR work for Apocalypse.

Yep, Oscar literally said that 100% of his dialog will have to be ADR'd because the suit makes so much noise while shooting. The stuff you heard in that footage will be all thrown out.

He always had great quotes, my favorite " I am as far beyond mutants as they are beyond you."
My man. For whatever reason I'll say that randomly whenever someone talks about Apocalypse. It's my go to line.
 
Just watched DoFP yesterday after skipping it last year because I make bad choices sometimes. After how much I enjoyed that this is now the super hero movie I'm most looking forward to.

I can't believe we're actually getting Jubilee. And I like how these movies are set in the past so we can avoid the strange slide of the present never progressing.

That's meant to be Apocalypse? He barely looks taller than Storm.

How's he going to appear as dominant alongside Fass or Jackman? He's supposed to be huge...what the hell.

Well...Apocalypse's mutant power is controlling his body at the molecular level, which means he can grow and shrink to any size he wants.

At least I think that was what it was. All his other powers I thought were from some technology.

Yeah, I think that's his power too, but he's always appeared as huge in the cartoons. Jarring to see him as someone who barely looks taller than 5.5/5.6. Not to mention his build looks off too.
 
Well, I know he can shrink and stuff but he was never *that* small in the cartoon. Plus the voice. The voice...shame if they go in a different direction. That's what made him so menacing to me.

I imagine near the end of the movie is when he transforms and grows to a giant size.

On this very page you have people saying how no work has been done on the voice and it all has to be ADR'd anyways, which hasn't even happened yet.
 
He's standing further away and the camera is aimed upwards. It's hard to tell his exact height.

I guess that's a fair point. Watching that short trailer, it does look like he's standing a little further away from Storm than the shot suggests.

He has a certain lack for manipulating his size.

If I was a smarter man I'd come up with a filthy joke.

Hehehe. I just hope we see him full size. It might look ridiculous, but I need to see it.

That's my hope. I won't mind so much about his size so long as see him as he's presented in the cartoons at least once or twice.
 
Honestly, Apocalypse has always kind of sucked as a villain in the comics and cartoon. He has a sweet voice but there's really nothing to him.

Hopefully Isaac elevates the character.
 
did you guys see the conan interview? fucking incredible chemistry between mcavoy and fassbender.

it's amazing how two pairs of actors playing the same character have become such good friends. great interview too, very hilarious. easily the best of his comic con shows.

the chemistry on these singer x-flicks is so much higher than everything else. you can tell how much they enjoy it.

Link?
 
you mean doubt i assume?
because lol, maybe for you. to me he's only proven four times he can't handle the franchise at all
They're some of the most critically acclaimed comic films in history. What would make you think the man can't handle this? Because he doesn't give everyone a fucking sub-plot? Honestly do you really want more Havok, and Banshee?

Deduct four from that number.
I forgot he didn't direct First Class. But he was heavily involved with that film.

the only thing I'd save from these aesthetically ugly, crappy action ridden, Wolverine-Mystique-Magneto focused trainwrecks is the cast; they nailed it (most of the time); as a big Xmen fan I really cant find myself liking what Singer has done with the franchise
