Oscar Isaac wishes X-MEN: APOCALYPSE would’ve been a ‘better film.’

X-MEN: APOCALYPSE is hit or miss, depending on who you ask. While the Bryan Singer-directed film has its fans, it received a majority of negative reviews from critics with a 46% Rotten Tomatoes score and 65% audience rating. As the big bad of the film, Oscar Isaac as Apocalypse was met with mixed results.

Speaking with The New York Times on the reception it received, Isaac said “No, I don’t disown it. I know exactly what I went in there wanting to do and the reasons why. There were these amazing actors involved that I really wanted to work with, [James] McAvoy and [Michael] Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence. I collected X-Men growing up, and I loved Apocalypse, I just found him such a freaky, weird character.”

“And then you get there and you’re like, ‘Oh my God, I’ve got all these prosthetics on. I’ve got a suit on. I can’t move. I can’t see anybody. All these actors I wanted to work with — I can’t even see who they are,’ he continued. “I still think back to that time with fondness. I wish it would have been a better film and that they would have taken care of the character a little better, but those are the risks.”

While X-Men didn’t give Isaac the desired results, he returned to the world of Marvel with Disney+ series Moon Knight!
