Oscar Isaac is going from one major franchise to another one – he just landed the lead villain role in the upcoming film X-Men: Apocalypse, according to TheWrap!

The 35-year-old actor just wrapped up work on Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens and he will begin production on X-Men in the spring.

Apocalypse is going to highlight the romance between Jennifer Lawrence‘s Mystique and Michael Fassbender‘s Magneto. There will of course be plenty of other mutants in the mix and casting is underway for the roles of young Jean Grey and Cyclops with some big names involved!
