Oscar Isaac<\/strong> as the film’s title villain.<\/p>\n\u201cI think [this film] is just going to be pretty huge in many ways,” he said. “It\u2019s set in the \u201880s. Introducing younger versions of Cyclops and Jean Grey and Storm and those characters so you get a bit of a back story to those guys. And then Apocalypse \u2013\u00a0Oscar Isaac \u2013 turns up and is a bad-ass and it all goes quite extreme.”<\/p>\n
Though he doesn’t share much, if any, one-on-one time with Apocalypse, Hoult says Isaac brought an “intensity” to his role as an ancient mutant hellbent on culling the Earth of the weak.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo be honest with you, the times we were acting in the same scene were often quite distant,” he continued. “So I could sense the presence of him \u2013 and he\u2019s certainly got a lot of presence, in life \u2013 he\u2019s a really fun guy to be around. And that character\u2019s a tricky one to play, you know, essentially a mutant from an era long ago, awoken in this modern day, very confused about what\u2019s been going on around him and decides to do something about it. He certainly brings an intensity to it, in a great way.\u201d<\/p>\n
Set in 1983, Hoult described Beast’s style of clothing.<\/p>\n
\u201c80s gear? You know what I felt like a bit of a kid wearing my Dad\u2019s suits and stuff, because it\u2019s very baggy the 80s style. Big pants and shoulder pads. I\u2019d try them on in the costume fittings and I\u2019d look ridiculous. I\u2019d look like a three-year-old wearing my Dad\u2019s clothes, but that\u2019s what it was at the time.\u201d<\/p>\n
