It was not only the fans who were disappointed with the first images of Oscar Isaac's 'X-Men' villain Apocalypse, but the actor was also not happy with the earlier photoes.
"I was not super pleased with those first photos that ran," told the actor in an interview, reports the Independent.
Fans were furious about the fact that the earth conquering mutant was seemingly given a purple tint and made to look relatively small.
"When you look at those things, you think that's the representation of the character, and it was a shot from when we were coming out of a portal, and the portal light is purple and so suddenly everyone thinks that the character is purple which is not the case," the actor added.
However, director Bryan Singer was well aware there may be some backlash, having faced a similar backlash when he cast Hugh Jackman as Wolverine.
