Will Apocalypse appear in ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’?

Is Apocalypse making an appearance in X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST? When Bleeding Cool asked director Bryan Singer, he appeared visibly nervous, saying “I can’t tell you.” When asked if a character like that would require performance capture, he went on to say “This is how it gets started, when somebody starts piecing the little bits together.”

Take this with a grain of salt for now, as Singer didn’t actually confirm anything. It is an interesting idea though. While the character did not appear in the original “Days of Future Past” arc, his inclusion could work in context. Born in Egypt, Apocalypse (real name En Sabah Nur) is known as being the first mutant. The popular 1995 storyline known as the “Age of Apocalypse” featured an alternate timeline in which he conquered much of the world.
