Oscar Isaac says playing Apocalypse was like “playing God”

Paste: You are also going to be joining the Star Wars and X-Men franchises. I’m assuming that you’re looking forward to that.

Isaac: For me, more than anything, it was about being guilty of nostalgia. I was a big fan of Star Wars. I was also a big fan of X-Men, particularly the villain Apocalypse, so when those parts came around and there was interest for me to do them, I was excited about it. I was excited to explore those worlds. There is something more mythical … basically, you’re playing God. It’s a challenge.
