Newcomer, Brendan Pedder posted a photo of himself with director Bryan Singer on the set of X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST. Pedder appears in the end credits stinger as a young, gray-skinned En Sabah Nu aka Apocalypse building a Pyramid, possibly his own fortress, in ancient Egypt, while followers chant his name beneath his feet. As the camera pans to reveal his face, we see the Four Horsemen watching in the background.

Colldier spoke with X-MEN: APOCALYPSE writer and producer Simon Kinberg who spoke about the scene and the process that went into making it come to life.

“Once we sort of committed to [Apocalypse] being the sequel that we were going to pursue, we felt like the tag was an opportunity to start to set that up or just tease that for audiences. We went through a lot of ideas for what that scene could be, and some of them were reported erroneously online, some of them were pretty close to the way people reported them online, but we landed on what the final version was toward the end of production. So we didn’t have time in our initial round of photography to film it, we filmed it when we went back up to Montreal after principal photography, with obviously an entirely different cast, but with our crew.”

Kinberg says the tease is of Apocalypse’s origin and that it doesn’t necessarily mean it will play appear in the actual film. A new actor will also play the role in the next film, as he will look much older in the planned 80’s timeline.
