Oscar Isaac Starred in ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ to Act With Jennifer Lawrence and More, but ‘I Never Saw Any of Them Because I Was So Overheated’ in Costume: ‘Very Challenging’

> Oscar Isaac appeared on the latest episode of “Hot Ones” and was asked about “X-Men: Apocalypse,” the 2016 comic book tentpole in which he played the eponymous villain under a 40-pound costume and various makeup prosthetics. Isaac previously called the role “excruciating.” It turns out the actor signed on to star in the “X-Men” movie because he wanted to act with the A-list ensemble, which included Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy, but his costume prevented him from doing so.

> “One of the big reasons I did the job, I was like Fassbender? Jennifer Lawrence? McAvoy? All these amazing actors. Yeah! And then I never saw any of them because I was so overheated. And like I couldn’t turn. So, I just got put in this cooling tent,” Isaac said. “Sometimes someone would come by and be like [patting him on the back] hey Oscar. I’d be like huh? And by the time I turned around they were gone already. So, it was very challenging. But I am thankful for the cooling tent.”

Could someone please make an ensemble movie with Lawrence, Mcavoy, Fassbender, and Isaac where they don’t have to appear under mountains of makeup?
