Oscar Isaac's X-MEN: APOCALYPSE Costume Will Use Practical & Digital Effects
After he wrapped J.J. Abrams' Star Wars: The Force Awakens he went straight into doing press for J.C. Chandor's A Most Violent Year and Alex Garland's Ex-Machina. When he is done that he will go into pre-production for his titular villain role in Bryan Singer's X-Men: Apocalypse. “After we finish here I’m heading to do a head cast [for ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’], which they do often," Isaac tells Yahoo Movies. "You spend 3-4 hours with them putting plaster all over your head and they get a sense of what your face is like and what shape your head is, so they can start figuring out the costume and the make up and all that stuff, which is pretty fun.”
Isaac also offered some tantalizing details about his costume. “It’ll be a mix [of practical and digital]," Isaac said. "I haven’t had a script so I haven’t had a chance to look through the script and see what the exact requirements are, but I think it’ll be a mixture of physical, aided with some robotic technology.”
