Tom Hardy Sought to play Apocalypse....

[Silver Surfer]

Tom Hardy seems to be a popular man for comic book properties. He already took on Christian Bale's Batman in The Dark Knight Rises and, earlier this week, was said to be up for a role in David Ayer's Suicide Squad. Now TheWrap reports that 20th Century Fox is keen on casting the Mad Max: Fury Road star in Bryan Singer's X-Men: Apocalypse.

Hardy would play Apocalypse (that blueish fellow featured in the Days of Future Past post-credits tease). Created by Louise and Walter Simonson, Apocalypse (En Sabah Nur) made his debut in X-Factor #6. The world's first mutant, En Sabah Nur was born in Egypt around 3,000 BC and used advanced technology to make himself an eternal conquerer, believing whole heartedly in survival of the fittest.

Kinberg, along with X2: X-Men United writers Dan Harris and Michael Dougherty, is developing the screenplay for the film which Bryan Singer will return to once again direct. X-Men: Apocalypse is set for release on May 27, 2016.

Breh stop. The train of a minority, any minority, being able to play a character who looks like us was thrown to the bushes the second Tom Hardy was cast as Bane and not a single eyelash was batted. They don't give a shyt when it comes to that.

I don't get how he's "playing" Apocalypse. He was barely buff enough to play Bane, and Apocalypse is like 8 feet tall and obviously not remotely human. Just say he's voicing it because they're obviously going to CGI the fukk out of him anyway, ala Brolin and Thanos.

I don't mean who they're casting, I mean the wording of him "playing" the role when it's an 8 foot tall purple robot.
