Oscar Isaac Says He Still Thinks Of 'X-Men: Apocalypse' With 'Fondness'

Oscar Isaac is looking back at his role in 2016′s X-Men: Apocalypse.

The 43-year-old Moon Knight star had previously stated that filming the movie, which was directed by Bryan Singer, was “excruciating”.

During a 2018 interview with GQ magazine, Oscar said that he “didn’t know when I said yes that that was what was going to be happening. That I was going to be encased in glue, latex, and a 40-pound suit — that I had to wear a cooling mechanism at all times. I couldn’t move my head, ever.”

He added that he “had to sit on a specially designed saddle, because that’s the only thing I could really sit on, and I would be rolled into a cooling tent in-between takes, and so I just wouldn’t ever talk to anybody, and I was just gonna be sitting and I couldn’t really move, and like, sweating inside the mask and the helmet. And then getting it off was the worst part, because they just had to kind of scrape it off for hours and hours.”

However, in a new interview, Oscar isn’t swearing it off entirely.

Speaking with The New York Times, Oscar said he wasn’t disowning the film at all.

“I know exactly what I went in there wanting to do and the reasons why. There were these amazing actors involved that I really wanted to work with, [James] McAvoy and [Michael] Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence,” he said. “I collected X-Men growing up, and I loved Apocalypse, I just found him such a freaky, weird character. And then you get there and you’re like, ‘Oh my God, I’ve got all these prosthetics on. I’ve got a suit on. I can’t move. I can’t see anybody. All these actors I wanted to work with — I can’t even see who they are.’”

Oscar continued, “I still think back to that time with fondness…I wish it would have been a better film and that they would have taken care of the character a little better, but those are the risks.”

Oscar and wife Elvira Lind are pictured below at the 2022 Met Gala on Monday evening (May 2) at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
