Oscar Isaac has a full schedule ahead of his, first appearing in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and then playing the titular villain of X-Men: Apocalypse.
Speaking to Moviefone, Isaac answered questions about both films, describing his experience inside an X-Wing for Star Wars.
"It was very cool, but a little nauseating because the thing is on a gimbal and moving all around," he says. "I forgot to breathe and I was like, 'Whoa.' But it was very cool.
Isaac says he is also "very excited" about working with Rian Johnson, suggesting that he will return for Star Wars Episode VIII, but also said he has actually spoken to the director yet.
Speaking of X-Men: Apocalypse, the actor explained what made him decide to take the role.
"My first comic book I ever collected was 'X-Factor' and I actually really loved Apocalypse," Isaac says. "And yeah, so when I heard that maybe that would be the next villain, I was like, 'Guys, get me in there, I want to meet with them'…Apocalypse is so cool and weird and scary and I wanted to be a part of that"
Isaac also went on to say that he would be on set for the film, that his role wouldn't be entirely motion capture, but that he didn't know all of the details yet.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens December 18.
X-Men: Apocalypse opens May 27, 2016.
