X-Men Apocalypse news and updates: Oscar Isaac to play Apocalypse and the search is on for the Four Horsemen

One of the in-demand actors today is Oscar Isaac. He is set to star as the X-Men's greatest enemy, the villain Apocalypse in the upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse. Aside from that he is cast as Poe Dameron in the Star Wars sequel.

X-Men: Apocalypse will dwell on the origins of mutants, according to director Bryan Singer. The script will be written by Simon Kinberg, Dan Harris, and Michael Dougherty. Kinberg said that it will take place in 1983 and will complete a trilogy that began with X-Men: First Class.

James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Hugh Jackman, Nicholas Hoult, Jennifer Lawrence, and Evan Peters will reprise their roles, while "some of the original cast" members of the series will return. Younger versions of Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Storm are also due to appear in the film. Principal photography is scheduled to commence in April 2015 in Montreal, Canada.

In another news, the search is on for Apocalypse's Four Horsemen and Comicbook.com had some ideas on who the horsemen they want to see.

First off is Archangel, he is by far the most iconic and the one Death that everyone really wants to see. An Apocalypse movie without the Four Horsemen wouldn't feel like an Apocalypse movie. A movie with the Four Horsemen that didn't include Archangel would feel like a bit of a letdown.

Second would be Wolverine. Apocalypse is somehow involved in the process of providing adamantium grafted to his bones, and ends up turning Wolverine into his first Death.

Third, could be Caliban, although he is the lowest profile among Apocalypse's deaths.

Fourth is Gambit and he will be played by Channing Tatum in a solo movie sometime in the future. But there are rumors that he will debut in the X-Men: Apocalypse film.

The last potential candidate is Polaris. Using Polaris as a Horsemen, especially if they probe the depths of her backstory, would add a lot of emotional weight to the story.

X-Men: Apocalypse opens May 27, 2016.
