3 Minute Quicksilver Scene In X-MEN: APOCALYPSE Took Over a Month to Shoot
We’ve already heard that Quicksilver is going to have another amazing action sequence in X-Men: Apocalypse. We got a little taste of in the first trailer for the film. We weren’t shown anything mind-blowing, but it will be in the film, and it will most likely be even better than the prison breakout scene at the Pentagon in Days of Future Past.
Evan Peters reprises his role as Quicksilver, and apparently he was the hardest working actor on the set of X-Men: Apocalypse. The major scene that he shot in the film is only three minutes long, but it took him, director Bryan Singer, and the rest of the team a month and a half to shoot.
In an interview with Empire, Singer had this to say:
“There’s one sequence that took one and a half months to shoot for three minutes of film. It involves the most complex camera moves, very sophisticated explosive algorithms, 3D Phantom cameras traveling at 50mph while shooting at 3,100 frames per second. Evan worked more days on this movie than any other actor because of this one sequence.”
I can’t wait to see how this scene actually plays out. Sounds like it will end up being freakin’ spectacular! Quicksilver is going to steal the movie again! The movie hits theaters on May 27th, 2016.
