Oscar Isaac Calls His Time on ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ “Excruciating”

Oscar Isaac, who played the eponymous ancient mutant in X-Men: Apocalypse, says the costume and makeup effects required to portray the villain made his time on set “excruciating.”

“Apocalypse, that was excruciating. I 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, and latex, and in a 40-pound suit that I had to wear a cooling mechanism at all times,” Isaac told GQ of portraying the blue-skinned supervillain.
