The X-Men: Apocalypse Super Bowl Spot Used a Coldplay Cover Song
Coldplay did the Super Bowl halftime show so it’s kind of a strange coincidence the X-Men: Apocalypse spot used a cover of one of their songs.
Or maybe it was on purpose! Who knows? The song is “Don’t Panic” off their debut album Parachutes which was also used famously in Garden State. This version is by an artist named Clairity. You can check out more of her stuff here and the cover is available on iTunes.
Here’s Clarity’s version…
And the original.
Meanwhile, Oscar Isaac remains unrecognizable.
The film hits theaters May 27, 2016.
…is that how her psi-blades work?
I’m not too familiar with her but someone else was discussing this on Twitter yesterday and they seem to have changed that for sure.
That’s what I thought, but I wasn’t too sure. I can break down what I know about her into a) this is definitely how her power worked in the 2nd Sega video game b) Greg Land drew her butt really funky one time c) there’s a lot of talk about her weird Asian/British host colonization backstory that I was completely in the dark about and makes me want to go nowhere near the character because it’s confusing.
It’s the focused totality of her telekinetic prowess able to shatter mountains!

…*reads some of that*
*forgets who I am for a few minutes*
That is a complicated backstory.
Based on the franchise’s dedication to female characters, I am confident none of it will appear in the movie.
