Our first official look at X-men: Age of Apocalypse's Nightcrawler fails to impress

Adam and the X-men




I'm going to come straight out and say it: the first shots of Kodi Smit-McPhee as bamfing blue X-man Nightcrawler are incredibly underwhelming. The first one in particular carries more than whiff of photoshop and looks more like a rough concept than a finished piece of promotional artwork.

Still, these erzsatz, digitally despoiled glamour shots do show a design that's a lot more faithful to the comic book character, and we daresay it will look a heck of a lot better in action. At least we hope so.

In keeping with the eighties theme, this 'crawler is sporting a lopsided, new romantic 'do and a big-collared blazer. There's even a spy shot in which he's rocking a Thriller-esque red leather number that makes him look a bit like a blue zombie Michael Jackson. These hastily snapped spy shots also give us our first look at fellow X-men Cyclops, Jean Grey and Jubilee.


Boasting a stellar cast that includes Michael Fassbender and Oscar Isaac, Age of Apocalypse is due to arrive next May.
