Entertainment Weekly has released a close-up photo of the titular villain of ‘X-Men: Apocalypse,’ played by Oscar Isaac.

Apocalypse went through several tweaks, “We had to do some adjustments here and there and be like, alright, maybe this is too alien,” the Isaac tells EW. “He also is someone who people would want to follow and not just be terrified of. So the balance, and then making sure that there’s some great elements from the comic but also making our own thing as well. In the comic, he generally is like 12 feet, 600 pounds.”

Isaac has been a fan of the series since he was a kid. “I grew up reading the comics and I actually collected X Factor when I was younger and that was when Apocalypse first showed up. And I was particularly freaked out with like the second coming and the end of the world, the apocalypse, so when there was a character that embodied that, and even from Sunday school, I remember the four horsemen and all that kind of imagery that’s still to this day some of the scariest imagery I can think of.”

Isaac had this to say about the final battle of the film. “I mean that last battle is going to be pretty insane. I mean, it’s like freaking Apocalypse fighting all of the X-Men. It’s pretty cool.”

    I’m sure I’m not the first to notice that he looks like the villain from the first Power Rangers movie. But, hey, I loved that movie and I still like the X-Men movie franchise, so, it’s all good.
