STAR WARS isn’t the only high-profile, Geektastically interesting project Oscar Isaac has going at the moment.

Besides appearing as Rebel pilot Poe Dameron in THE FORCE AWAKENS, he’ll also appear as En Sabah Nur / ‘Apocalypse’ in 2016’s X-MEN: APOCALYPSE.

A few days ago, Isaac suggested that - not surprisingly - Apocalypse’s comic book penchant for controlling the molecules in his body will be a talent retained in the film.

(The costume) hasn’t been figured out yet, but one of his major powers is being able to change all the molecules in his body,”

[EDIT]

“So I’ll be changing all the molecules in my body… It’s gonna be a lot of fun.”

Now, via Yahoo UK, Isaac talks more about how this character will be realized for the next bigscreen X-adventure:

“It’ll be a mix [of practical and digital]. I haven’t had a script so I haven’t had a chance to look through the script and see what the exact requirements are, but I think it’ll be a mixture of physical, aided with some robotic technology.”

[EDIT]

“After we finish here I’m heading to do a head cast [for ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’], which they do often. You spend 3-4 hours with them putting plaster all over your head and they get a sense of what your face is like and what shape your head is, so they can start figuring out the costume and the make up and all that stuff, which is pretty fun

X-MEN: APOCALYPSE is now in pre-production. We recently learned that Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen won’t be involved with this one, which is a bummer - but it’ll be interesting to see what this picture has in store for us all the same.
