Among his many films, Dykstra was also on X-Men: First Class and he has previously worked with many of the vendor teams from around the world. The visual effects were supervised on this film by visual effects legend and multiple oscar winner, John Dykstra. Most notably they made the elaborate suit of Apocalypse, worn by a nearly unrecognisable Oscar Isaac, ho most recently played Poe Dameron in Star Wars.

Most of the film was shot and made in Canada. The film was graded at Company 3 and delivered in both 3D and mono at 2.35: 1 aspect ratio. The DOP was Newton Thomas Sigel, who was also the Director Of Photography on X-Men: Days of Future Past. X-Men Apocalypse was shot on the Red Epic and the Phantom Flex 4K for high speed photography.
