X-Men: Apocalypse and today Entertainment Weekly delivers a few more new pictures of the newer cast members, a few of them playing new takes on familiar mutants.
Above is Kodi Smit-McPhee as the German teleporting mutant Nightcrawler and he has a lot to live up to if he plans on making any kind of mark similar to Alan Cumming‘s entrance in X2. Below is a larger look at Alexandra Shipp as Storm, a role played by Halle Berry as recently as last year’s X-Men: Days of Future Past. Next is Sophie Turner (“Game of Thrones”) as Jean Grey and Tye Sheridan (The Stanford Prison Experiment) as Cyclops, taking over for Famke Janssen and James Marsden respectively.
And finally we have Lana Condor as Jubilee and a closer look at Oscar Isaac as the titular villain Apocalypse of which it took two hours of makeup for him just to get the look.
Speaking with EW he said, “We had to do some adjustments here and there and be like, alright, maybe this is too alien… 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.”
As for what you can expect from the character he adds, “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.”
