The next entry in the X-Men franchise will have our
heroes face off against a powerful and ancient mutant, En Sabah Nur, aka
Apocalypse. Speaking with SHH, screenwriter and producer Simon Kinberg talked
about the challenges about bringing a new villain to the X-Men universe.
"We
want to tell the Apocalypse story and there's massive scale and scope to
telling that story. There's going to be set pieces that I suspect are going to
be bigger than anything we've ever done in an X-Men movie before and he's a
great character. The biggest and funnest challenge of the Apocalypse movie to
me is his character. How do you create a new villain for the X-Men world that
is as good as any villain that's come before, is compelling philosophically as
Magneto, not just in his physical powers, but in his philosophical depth.
'Apocalypse' is going to be a fun movie to write and make."
X-Men: Apocalypse is set to open on May 27th, 2016.
