The first pictures of Oscar Isaac as X-Men villain Apocalypse and Olivia Munn as Psylocke have been released.

Looking completely unrecognisable as the blue-skinned mutant, Isaac appears on the cover of this week's Entertainment Weekly alongside Munn's Psylocke and Michael Fassbender's Magneto.

Speaking to the magazine about the character, Isaac said: "He's believed to be the first mutant, whatever that means. He is the ­creative-slash-destructive force of this earth.

"When things start to go awry, or when things seem like they're not moving towards evolution, he destroys those civilizations."

Giving more detail about Apocalypse's emissaries, the magazine confirms that the Four Horsemen will be Munn's Psylocke, Storm, played by Alexandra Shipp, Fassbender's Magneto and Ben Hardy's Angel.

Speaking to the magazine, director Bryan Singer said of the film: "It's a chaotic world of conflict and war and destruction.

"It's one giant civilization that now requires one giant culling. That's why [Apocalypse] needs ­special assistants in this process."

While a number of select images were shown at this year's Comic Con in Dan Diego, this is the proper look at the new villains in all their glory.

X-Men: Apocalypse is out on May 19 2016.
