‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past’ Apocalypse Actor Revealed! Next Sequel Described As ‘Extinction Level’ Disaster Movie With Superheroes!

"X-Men: Days of Future Past" had a post credit scene with the young En Sabah Nur in Ancient Egypt. The question was raised on whether the actor who played Apocalypse was the same who played Ink (Gregg Lowe).

It turns out that it was not the same actor. The actor who played En Sabah Nur is Brendan Pedder. MTV has the digs on the new actor: "Brendan Pedder is an 18-year-old actor from Montreal with - as far as a cursory internet search shows - no real credits to his name. However, it seems he was in the right place at the right time: "Days of Future Past" filmed from April to August of 2013 in Montreal, which clearly didn't hurt the native Canadian's casting.

As to whether Pedder will continue the role two years from now, we'll just have to wait and see. In the meantime, let's all speculate what Logan Lerman could play if he was cast in an "X-Men" movie."

Brendan Pedder posted an Instagram photo on his account Peddarlikecheddar which shows him with X-Men director Bryan Singer.

Speaking of Apocalypse, writer Simon Kinberg has talked about setting up Apocalypse as THE ultimate villain in the X-Men Universe. From Collider:  "It's more of an opportunity. For most of these X-Men movies, Magneto is the villain. Or Stryker. So the idea of having a new villain and super powerful villain. It's extinction stakes, which these movies haven't visualized before. The best superhero movies have subgenres. Days of Future Past is time travel sci-fi. Apocalypse is a disaster movie mashed up with superhero movies."

He also talks about the backstory of the Apocalypse teaser scene at the end credits: "Once we sort of committed to [Apocalypse] being the sequel that we were going to pursue, we felt like the tag was an opportunity to start to set that up or just tease that for audiences.  We went through a lot of ideas for what that scene could be, and some of them were reported erroneously online, some of them were pretty close to the way people reported them online, but we landed on what the final version was toward the end of production.  So we didn't have time in our initial round of photography to film it, we filmed it when we went back up to Montreal after principal photography, with obviously an entirely different cast, but with our crew."

And finally, on the question of whether the aforementioned newcomer actor will reprise his role: "The tag is a tease of Apocalypse's origin backstory.  It's not necessarily gonna be a part of the storytelling of the Apocalypse movie.  It was really just to sort of tease for the audience, 'There's this new guy out there and he's coming.'"

Still not a definite yes or no, but they have not committed to narrating the back story as yet. We'll find out on May 27, 2016.
