Ivan Ooze!? Olivia's costume looks a little too cosplay-ish to me. Hope it works out ok though. Storm looks great.

Bitches love smiley faces
This is more what I was hoping for...
Face make-up, yeah disappointing, but it's sorta unfair to jack Isaac's body up to comic proportions, unless Fox was willing dole out money to mocap Isaac and paste him on a bigger body.
Anyhoo... at least Psylocke and Storm look great.

Apocoshit. Why not make him CG so he looks even remotely close to the character he's supposed to be.

Apoc looks like that guy from the power rangers movie from certain angles im sure its just the behind the scenes pre production feel. Storm has on Princes Purple Rain uniform ....
Thankfully it sounds like this will be her last one. If they're committed to continuing the X-franchise, I hope this one closes out the Xavier/Magneto/Mystique storylines. Gimme some goddamn starjammers and shi'ar madness, Fox!

GAF cycle in full effect.
Singer has never made a bad X-Men movie, he's 3 for 3, why question his direction now? Just for the sake of complaining about a costume?
Psylocke looks pretty good to me there, and we're not sure if Apocalypse will look like that for all of the movie. It all seems moot at this point.
he shouldn't need to transform. Hulking mass of technomuscles is what he's always been (in his real form)
if anything, he'd become BIGGER

Same jacket too now that I look at it again.
It isn't the same jacket.

That's a pretty shit looking apocalypse, he looks so fucking small and nonthreatening, like a kid wearing his dads shoes acting like a big man.
Psylocke looks great though as does storm.
Magneto is weird

Personally, I'm expecting a great movie. I just didn't expect old man Apoc.

This is fucking miles better than that Ivan Ooze clone.
It's still early. I'll be positive. It's that I've waited so long for Apoc in X-Men that my nerves are bad. lol

the first xmen film is trash , but thats not the crews fault it wasn't a fav project of a Fox exec who cut funding, but hey his meddling is how Hugh Jackedman got a shot at the role after another guy dropped out.
Looks like Singer is getting away with the comic accurate costumes on only the Acolytes of Apocalypse. Storm, Psylocke, Magneto, and Archangel will probably have the most outlandish "team" outfits while the X-Men will probably stick closer to what we're seeing Mystique and Quicksilver wearing (unless those are training suits and they get more colorful uniforms later on).

Bryan Singer costume designs, ladies and gentlemen
But then if you ask most people they'll say they loved DOFP's Quicksilver, and hated(or at least disappointed in) AoU's version who was closer to the comic.

See? this is were I disagree.
Singer has yet to make a good X-Men movie, instead he directs movies with X-Men named characters attached to them.
Why does apoc need to be some huuge bodybuilder? I get the point of physical intimidation, but that's always in a world/medium where cyclops is already 6foot something and shredded. His powers have nothing to do with his biceps right? I have no problem with the translation because I have a lot of faith in Isaac and Singer, but also because I don't expect them to hire the rock to play the part.
Damn I remember having this exact same argument when Chris hemsworths first photo of thor was released. A friend just said he simply wasn't big enough. Lol

I'd be shocked if they went that bold. They still can't even commit to comicbook costumes, much less space shenanigans.
I've actually contemplated that it would be interesting for the X-Men cinematic universe if they go the way of the comics around this era and have Xavier "die" only to invoke bromance rights on his "deathbed" in order to convince Magneto to do a full heel-face turn and take over as headmaster of Xavier's Institute. The idea of Fassbender's Magneto forced to be papa bear to a bunch of scared, angry kids who don't really trust him sounds like it would make a good movie to me. Course, they'd have to kill off Xavier to do that, even temporarily...

Psylocke looks awesome. Storm looks awesome. Apocolypse not so much. It's really just the head/face though. He looks like he has a little too much humanity and he's missing some of the distinct facial features like the lines that travel from the mouth (if they're there, then they're not pronounced enough. Not a huge fan of the tendrils from his head either especially knowing that's probably going to make the actor real stiff.
EDIT: Oh god yeah! Ivan Ooze. That's totally the first thing that came to mind.

Does singer himself actually design these? Not saying he's not cool with them but I highly doubt we could blame him entirely.
They're not awful and at least they're not just all wearing black leather.

Psylocke looking super silly in her comic costume. I'd rather they tried to make it look like something more practical, like the rest of the Xmen Cinematic stuff.
The rest is fine. I trust Oscar Isaac to nail Apocalypse and trust Singer to get a good film out of this. His Xmen films are easily the best ones and DOFP was fantastic

paint this guy blue
edit: I just realized he is riding a throne made of rocks with rockets in them
I'm glad they're not doing a full on CG Apocalypse.

Stufte, you just ruined the movie for me.
Everything about this looks bad, and Apocalypse looks like a little bitch.

Apoc....at least what I remember in the animated series was always a hulking intimidating villain. In fact he would often expand his size towering over the X-men like a Sentinel.

Kinda weak, lol.
He's the first mutant, found in Egypt. I can't remember the specifics, but there are ties to aliens maybe giving him his abilities or something, but yeah, he's practically a god. He's basically all about Darwinism to the most brutal extreme that "only the strong and evolved deserve to live".

He's what Magneto would be if magneto lost his ability to empathize completely.

They're just going to skip over all that body-swapping shit and just have Psylocke always be an Asian bathing suit ninja.
Which is sad because she was pre-bodyswap Psylocke is the best...
