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.

He said on Conan tonight that they haven't done any audio work on his voice yet.

How do we even know that's Apocalypse? Could be another mutant...
I hope...

God's had his chance.
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.

Oh thank Apocalypse.
I remember in the cartoon he sounded awesome and commanding as fuck
You presume to attempt to destroy me? MUTANT? YOU SHALL PAY FOR YOUR HUBRIS! RIGHT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!
Probably shouldn't have shown footage of him speaking if that's the case. Makes me think that the final voice will sound mostly like what we just heard in that leaked clip.

That's because he was Baltar from the original Battlestar Galactica.

He always had great quotes, my favorite " I am as far beyond mutants as they are beyond you."

So fucking badass.

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.
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.

He's standing further away and the camera is aimed upwards. It's hard to tell his exact height.

Pretty sure it's ten years.
Oh geeze... I didn't realize that I was responding to a two year old comment... ignore me.

He has a certain lack for manipulating his size.
If I was a smarter man I'd come up with a filthy joke.
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.
Miles Quaritch
Member
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.
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.

it just aired so it will be up on his website tomorrow. but yeah he has an interview with just mcavoy and fassbender, and then with the rest of the cast (munn, isaac, hoult, peters) as well
also peter capaldi came on. great show.
A little of the Munn interview is already on youtube

I think it's interesting that they're apparently going for the classic Psylocke costume. Did not expect that.
Edit: just saw that it was already posted on the previous page

Alright. Weird that they'd show it in this state.
Ha, was about to debate this until I saw he wasn't involved with Last Stand. Good to know.
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?
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
He was awesome in the 90s cartoon. Best part about it.
