In the trailer of ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’, the antagonist Apocalypse states, “I have been called many things over many lifetimes, Ra, Krishna and Yahweh.” While Ra and Yahweh stand as Gods of some other religion, Krishna is referred to the Hindu Lord which has now sparked a religious controversy. As of now, there has been no official response from the filmmakers including director Bryan Singer who has been targeted by Rajan Zed. Whether this gets blown out of proportion, or brings out a peaceful outcome, only time will tell. However, Indian fans have already started opposing this protest deeming it unnecessary.
