Tom Hardy is apparently no longer in the running to play Doctor Strange for Marvel as he’s currently courting offers not only from Warner Bros. for their adaptation of the DC Comics property Suicide Squad, but also Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Apocalypse according to a new report. Who will he play? The title villain!
It’s still early days and he will likely have to choose either Suicide Squad or the latest X-Men movie, and we actually caught our first glimpse of En Sabah Nur in the X-Men: Days of Future Past after-credits scene.
The British actor is no stranger to comic book villains after playing Bane in The Dark Knight Rises!
The ancient En Sabah Nur is a mutant literally thousands of years old, and his main goal is to wipe out the human race, while simultaneously ensuring that only the strongest of his own kind survive.
His powers are almost limitless, and they include superhuman strength, optic blasts, flight and pretty much every other devastating ability you can imagine. He’s evil, remorseless and one of the most despicable villains in Marvel history. In short, the perfect choice of baddie to be brought to the big screen!
Hardy seems like a great choice for Apocalypse, but whether we’ll see him in the movie when it’s released on May 27th, 2016 remains to be seen. Which of these comic book movies do you think he should choose?
