X-Men: Apocalypse (May 27th, 2016)

[Fhloston]

Trailer description from sdcc. Really hope they post it soon or it leaks!

Straight from their Hall H panel at San Diego, Twentieth Century Fox screened X-Men: Apocalypse Comic-Con footage and our own Edward Douglas described it as follows:

The footage opened with a nuclear explosion and we cut to Sophie Turner’s Jean Grey gasping, saying that she had seen the end of the world and all this death, to which James McAvoy says that it was only a dream. There’s a voice over from Oscar Isaac about how he’s been seen as a God. ‘I’ve been called any things over many lifetimes, Ra, Krishna, Yahweh, and the footage shows Rose Byrne as Moira MacTaggert telling Charles about how when people find out about mutants they, form cults that worship them but that she investigated one such person from the beginning of time that’s thought to be the first mutant.

Apocalypse gives a big voiceover speech to the young mutants saying they’ve lost their way by following blind leaders. ‘Everything you’ve built will fall and from the ashes of the world, we’ll build a better one.’ Then we see Apocalypse in a hood as Magneto asks him “Who the F are you?” and Apocalypse responds “Come and See” as we get to see Oscar Isaac in the full costume and he looks exactly like in the comics.

We learn from Professor X that Apocalypse can control other mutants and we see a scene where the X-Men are facing Apocalypse with a bunch of them including Storm and Ben Hardy as Archangel sided with Apocalypse, as well as Magneto who uses his powers to pull a slumped-over Charles in a wheelchair towards him. We get a glimpse of all the characters… but just a shot of Nightcrawler, Jubilee and Olivia Munn’s Psylocke. I didn’t even see Havoc and Cyclops only had one shot as well. We did see a quick Quicksilver shot. We don’t see their powers because that’s FX that is still being worked on.

The titles during this footage said ‘Prepare for Apocalypse.’Jennifer Lawrence’s Mystique says that a great storm approaches and that’s why she’s here. To fight. We see Professor X under the Cerebro helmet a few times as he comments that Apocalypse seems to be enhancing his power. ‘I’ve never felt power like this before.’ The footage ended with the classic Professor X look, in a wheelchair with a bald head (the crowd went wild for that, too).

Some things just don't translate well.

[Omniyoji]

All hail the first one!

[Null]

That image reminds me of Piccolo and his side bitch in the live action DBZ movie.

[Fhloston]

Why is he so little? Dude looked like 8" or 9" tall base height in the comic/cartoon

[Fhloston]

Leaked trailer. Bad quality, angle, will prolly get taken down etc etc

He can change his height as he pleases. But yeah, he was normally depicted as enormous in the comic and cartoon. To get the proportions right while making a person giant like that would be difficult. I'd rather a tall or normal person with correct proportions than trying to make him huge and putting on overly bulky and ridiculous costumes on the guy.

Best part is that no one claps.

oscar isaac the gawd. if these writer fgts can pull their shit together we should get some great stuff from him and fassbender. If not we can get some real bullshit like a bunch of people standing in a circle and picking their new codenames

[vagus]

Looks like a really bad b movie.

[Tokitoki]

I hope it's decent, but I get that feeling too.

It was the one comic and cartoon I really cared about when I was a kid.

[enawrocki96]

Not an avid comic reader, but is that look of Apocalypse taken from anything? The look from the trailer just doesn't do it for me yet.

[Tokitoki]

Not that I know of. I'm sure he's depicted a couple different ways throughout the various series, but his is the one people are most familiar with:

[kuronosan]

Hopefully he looks a little more traditional at some point.

[tyven]

he looks like MCU version of Ronan in the screencap above

[Cail]

Awwwww I missed the leak...

[tyven]

gdi cail

[Tyrath]

Me too. They should just release it on YT. Everyone else is.
