'X-Men: Apocalypse': First Look At Oscar Isaac As En Sabah Nur
A teaser for “X-Men: Apocalypse” shown during the recent San Diego Comic-Con has been leaked online. This video gives fans their first glimpse at Oscar Isaac as the titular villain En Sabah Nur.
Fitness writer and Instagram user Marcaces shared the video on his IG page. He directed viewers’ attention to the corner of the video so they could see “a mutant Demi God.” He also captioned the clip with the hash tag #xmenapocalypse. His post has since received over one thousand likes since he shared it on Sunday, July 12.
The video is rather blurry and a little skewed but clear enough to see some of the major “X-Men: Apocalypse” characters. According to Comic Book Movie, the blue-looking mutant is no other than Oscar Isaac in his Apocalypse makeup and costume.
The teaser starts off with Jennifer Lawrence’s Mystique saying, “You can start being haunted living in fear.” The camera then pans to show a robed Apocalypse removing his hood. Then Michael Fassbender as Magneto could be heard saying, “Who the f**k” are you.” Oscar Isaac in his villain character’s voice replies with, “Come and see.” The leaked teaser for “X-Men: Apocalypse” also confirms that young Storm, played by Alexandra Shipp, will side with Apocalypse in the film.
Movie director Bryan Singer also recently shared what Fansided said is the official movie poster for “X-Men: Apocalypse” featuring a headshot of En Sabah Nur. Singer shared the photo on his Instagram page ahead of Fox’s Hall H panel at the San Diego Comic-Con. He captioned the image "En Sabah Nur” along with the hash tags #XMenApocalypse and #SDCC.
Oscar Isaac had previously revealed his preparation in portraying the titular villain “X-Men: Apocalypse” during an interview with Monkeys Fighting Robots. The actor said he had considered the biblical approach and thought of the mutant En Sabah Nur as the “embodiment of the second coming of the judgements of god and that energy going in.”
“What we are trying to do is make his philosophy and what his mission is, one that is both simple but also holds water, that really makes sense throughout the whole movie,” he added.
