The next issue of Entertainment Weekly<\/a> features X-MEN: APOCALYPSE<\/a> director Bryan Singer<\/strong>, writer\/producer Simon Kinberg<\/strong> and cast talking about their upcoming epic blockbuster.<\/p>\n

Osacar Isaac on the villainous En Sabah Nur.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s believed to be the first mutant, whatever that means. He is the \u00adcreative-slash-destructive force of this earth. When things start to go awry, or when things seem like they\u2019re not moving towards evolution, he destroys those civilizations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Writer, Simon Kinberg on making a “bigger” film.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe problem with Days of Future Past is it\u2019s hard to sequelize. Whenever we talked about the sequel, the challenge was that it needed to feel not necessarily bigger visually, but that the stakes needed to feel bigger.\u201d <\/p>\n

Director, Bryan Singer on reintroducing familiar characters.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is kind of the introduction to them. At the same time, it has concluding aspects of those previous stories.\u201d <\/p>\n

Apocalypse recruiting his four horsemen.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a chaotic world of conflict and war and destruction. It\u2019s one giant civilization that now requires one giant culling. That\u2019s why he needs \u00adspecial assistants in this process.\u201d He finds teenage Storm living on the streets in Cairo, Angel (Ben Hardy) duking it out in a fight club in Berlin, and Psylocke (Olivia Munn) working behind the Iron Curtain for the mutant-broker Caliban. But his big get is Erik, who has been attempting to live a \u201cnormal\u201d life in Poland. \u201cHe\u2019s fallen in love and he\u2019s basically left his metal ways behind,\u201d Fassbender says. Pretty quickly, though, his world is shattered and \u201cnormal\u201d is no longer an option. Says Fassbender, \u201cApocalypse finds Erik at a low and recruits him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jennifer Lawrence on Mystique’s role.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cShe hears about what happened to Erik and she wants to seek him out and help him.\u201d<\/p>\n

James McAvoy on Professor X’s school for gifted mutants.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s not teaching anybody how to fight at the moment,\u201d McAvoy says. \u201cHe\u2019s teaching people how to control their abilities so that they can work at a bank. But of course this movie challenges all of that.\u201d<\/p>\n
