The photo showed Oscar Isaac looking less like Apocalypse and more like Ivan Ooze. Fans immediately rejected the look and they weren’t the only ones that didn’t like it. Oscar Isaac recently spoke to Entertainment Weekly and he told them that he wasn’t thrilled with the picture either and he also explained why it came out the way it did.

“I was not super pleased with those first photos that ran,” Oscar Isaac said. “When you look at those things, you think that’s the representation of the character, and it was a shot from when we were coming out of a portal, and the portal light is purple and so suddenly everyone thinks that the character is purple which is not the case.”

Bryan Singer also noted that the original idea for Apocalypse was to make the character very CG heavy, but ultimately he decided against that idea.

“Instead of giving him CG make up, I thought it was very important that he connect with the horsemen, that he connect with the movie,” Bryan Singer said. “We built a suit and enhanced Oscar’s size. But nonetheless to be as intimate and persuasive in his interaction with our lead characters, I made the decision to have him for the most part be in human form.”

“X-Men: Apocalypse” hits theaters on May 27.

Oscar Isaac and Lawrence Kasdan recently spoke to the LA Times and they mentioned that they’ve been seeing some unexpected things while filming “Episode VIII.”

“Rian is definitely going to places and investigating things that haven’t really been done in the ‘Star Wars’ universe,” Isaac said.” For me, it’s so fun getting to explore different things that I wouldn’t have expected in this universe.”

Any Star Wars film is going to be a huge production, but it doesn’t feel that way to Oscar Isaac. The actor compared his experience with filming “Episode VIII” to making an independent movie.

“In some ways it feels like we’re making an independent film. Certain things we get to play with – this kind of intimacy that we get to find – it’s special. It’s been really fun.” Isaac added.

It sounds like “Episode VIII” is going to be a very different film and we’ll find out when it hits theaters on December 15, 2017.
