Tom Hardy is probably wanted for most of the roles in the world right now, especially comic franchises. He already played Bane in THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, and was rumoured last week to be wanted for DC’s SUICIDE SQUAD alongside Will Smith. Now it looks as though 20th Century Fox want a piece of the action, as Hardy is rumoured to be the favourite for the role of Apocalypse in the upcoming X-MEN: APOCALYPSE. Hardy would play the first ever mutant, who made a brief appearance after the credits in X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST.
It’s doubtful that Hardy could take on roles in both, so perhaps going the way of Marvel would be best considering he’s already danced with DC. I’m still not sure on how accurately a human performance could capture Apocalypse, with perhaps the CG route of Thanos in GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY being more appropriate.
X-MEN: APOCALYPSE is released in cinemas on 27th May 2016.
