Extras casting directors for ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ are looking for extras to work on the upcoming feature film as it films in Montreal, Canada.
The movie which is filming under the secret name ‘Akkaba Project’ will be filming in studio at La Cite Du Cinema, according to On Location Vacations.
Currently, casting directors are looking for “fit, athletic males with shaved heads (or males willing to shave their heads) of all ages and ethnicities,” with black males and those with Arab, North African, Armenian, Moroccan or Mediterranean backgrounds especially wanted.
X-Men, X2, X-Men: First Class, and The Wolverine were met with positive reviews. In the cases of the former two, critics especially highlighted their dark, realistic tones, and subtexts dealing with discrimination and intolerance. X-Men: The Last Stand and X-Men Origins: Wolverine were met with mixed and negative reviews from critics, respectively, while X-Men: Days of Future Past was met with positive reviews and became the highest-grossing film in the series.
With seven films released, the X-Men film series is the 12th highest-grossing film franchise of all-time, having grossed over US$3 billion worldwide. It is set to continue in 2016 with a spin-off film, Deadpool, a sequel to X-Men: Days of Future Past, entitled X-Men: Apocalypse, and a spin-off film, Gambit; and in 2017 with a third Wolverine spin-off film.
Richard George of IGN stated that the success of the first X-Men film paved the way for comic-book film adaptations such as the Spider-Man series, Fantastic Four, V for Vendetta and Singer’s adaptation of Superman, Superman Returns. Meanwhile, Chris Hewitt of Empire Magazine called the first X-Men film as the “catalyst” for films based on Marvel Comics characters stating “Singer’s 2000 movie is the catalyst for everything that’s come since, good and bad. Without it, there’s no Marvel Studios. Comic-book writer, Mark Millar said Singer’s X-Men “revolutionized” superhero films.
Jennifer Lawrence, Hugh Jackman, James McAvoy, Olivia Munn, Nicholas Hoult, Oscar Isaac, Michael Fassbender, Sophie Turner, Rose Byrne, Evan Peters, Ben Hardy, Tye Sheridan, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Lucas Till and Alexandra Shipp will in X-Men: Apocalypse. However, Jennifer Lawrence and Hugh Jackman announced that this will be her last movie for the X-Men franchise.
