X-Men Days of Future Past After Credits Scene Actor Revealed

[WARNING: X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST SPOILERS BELOW]

The after-credits scene of X-Men: Days of Future Past shows a young Apocalypse, aka the first mutant, in the desert constructing the Egyptian pyramids with his bare hands as four horsemen stand on a hill behind him. A crowd chants "En Sabah Nu" as he guides pieces of the pyramid together.

MTV News now reveals the actor who portrayed young Apocalypse is 18-year-old Brendan Pedder. A photo of the actor with director Bryan Singer is at the top of the page. In a separate interview with Collider, writer Simon Kinberg said he and Singer went through several iterations of the scene before they chose the one that made the finished product.

"Once we sort of committed to [Apocalypse] being the sequel that we were going to pursue, we felt like the tag was an opportunity to start to set that up or just tease that for audiences.  We went through a lot of ideas for what that scene could be, and some of them were reported erroneously online, some of them were pretty close to the way people reported them online, but we landed on what the final version was toward the end of production.  So we didn't have time in our initial round of photography to film it, we filmed it when we went back up to Montreal after principal photography, with obviously an entirely different cast, but with our crew."

He added a new actor will more than likely play Apocalypse in X-Men: Apocalypse in 2016 and said the movie may not even return to Ancient Egypt.

"The tag is a tease of Apocalypse's origin backstory.  It's not necessarily gonna be a part of the storytelling of the Apocalypse movie.  It was really just to sort of tease for the audience, 'There's this new guy out there and he's coming.'"
