I must stress first and foremost that this is an absolute unconfirmed rumour….. but oh if it were true!!….
You may remember a few weeks ago I did what was essentially a blog on my huge disappointment on the look of Apocalypse in the new X men film. I’m sure you have read it? *Quick if not, its here: https://www.phoenixfm.com/2015/07/22/x-men-apocalypse/
But just as a reminder, here is what Apocalypse should look like:
And here is what he does look like in the new film according to official released photography:
I am a huge fan of this character, he is my favourite character from the X-Men universe and potentially my favourite character of all time (barring perhaps The Hulk.) I look on this picture (first published in Entertainment Weekly) and think, who is that supposed to be!?… I and much of the fan boy internet where quite rightly outraged.
but…
Then this picture was released:

Now this picture was uploaded by the unofficial twitter feed X Men news. I must stress again this is an unofficial release. It is supposed to be a shot of Apocalypse post production. Now THAT is what Apocalypse should look like. Is it that the old release were just not the finish article and they are amending with CGI in post production? Or is this picture a fake result of some Photo Shop wizardry? I certainly hope its real, but what do you think? Let me know!
