I'm digging Famke as Pheonix, and Cyclops actually looks as badass as Mr. Howlett. Angel's coming off gay to me and Callisto's an unexpected addition. It just might work without Bryan Singer. Right? Right?!?

Callisto? - What are her powers?
Angels? - (besides having wings and flight)

I thought Jean Grey was lost and to return as Phoenix?

Vinny Jones as Juggernaut...HELL YEAH!!!!!!!

If I recall, Callisto's power is superhuman physical ability (super agility strength, speed, etc). Not like The Hulk, but like Wolverine or Daredevil.

Oh yeah, Angel has hollow bones, better than average strength and endurance and really good eyesight.

Funky is right.
I've also read somewhere that Psylocke is in the movie as well, being played by an East Asian actress.
Which is kinda wierd, saying she's british and the sister of Captain Britain.

Rouge=Major Hotness. :drool: Is she 18 or older? :shifty:

I like Ben Foster as Angel. He was fucking awesome in Hostage.

Vinnie Jones as Juggernaut seems a little :wtf: to me.

She's like 24

Fuck

Saw a full body pic of Juggernaut. Looks incredibly gay. Like S& M type outfit.

They should have made him all cg, with vinnie jones's likeness.(Like the rock in the mummy returns.)

When I first heard about juggernaut, I kept thinking how cool Mr. Hyde was in Lof EG. Thought that was really the only route to take.

Where the fuck is Gambit :(

The trailer looks pretty good. I hope Rogue doesn't have a big part in this. Anna Paquin is annoying. Aaron Stanford is the man though.

I'll keep her busy for you. :naughty:

Depends on which incarnation you are talking about.

Yeah, I just remembered that. Looks like she's not going to be Betsy Braddock.

Supposedly they are torn on rather they want Gambit in or not. Many of the writers feel his personallity is too similar to Wolverine's and thus he isn't needed.

Are you fucking serious?!?! :mad:

He is the reason i've waited until 3! They even mentioned his name in the 2nd one. Fuck.

Mystique is so hot.

Or she'll by her after she got put in that Asian assassain's body.

That and despite Gambit's popularity there are a ton of people (if not equal amount) who absolutely hate him.

do you have a thing for blue chicks too...

Was Callisto in the cartoon? Cause her name sounds familiar. Like one of the Morlocks or something.

Yup she was their leader. Well in the comics anyway but she was in the cartoon.

I swear though they are making too many of these cameos are turning former good guys into bad ones.

Callisto (though technically she was in the middle), Psylocke, Multiple Man are all gonna have roles as members or allies of the Brotherhood.

Until Catwoman tanked, then I think she realized "Oh, wait, I can't carry a film on my own."

WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF no

I am vagsanding over that right now. Pyro as an American X-kid was bad enough, but fucking come on. :mad:

To be honest, I'd rather that they didn't bring her back. She was pretty terrible.

These movies aren't that bad but I really won't get too interested unless Gambit gets in.

I agree
:y:

You're right. What this franchise needs is a brooding loner with a shady past and an unrequited love for one of the X-girls.

I'm not a huge fan of movies and Gambit was the only one of the X-Men I liked. For what its worth I just added a comment. I don't actually give two shits or not if he ever makes it in the movies, as I don't care. Now run off.

Look I am the biggest Gambit fan, but I understand why he isn's in the movies so far and with the upcoming film it seems as if he wouldn;t fit in with the storyline.

I thought Kitty Pride was going to be Shannon from Lost

I've seen both 1 and 2 but I don't really remember all the goings on. I think they are decent movies, but nothing I hold near and dear to my heart. I don't care if Gambit makes it in or not, I was just saying I wouldn't have a genuine interest unless he made it in.

I know and I was just describing that for storyline purposes there was no way they could fit him in. I'd love him in there though.
He had a short scene cut out from X2 though.
Oh and Maggie Grace was originaly meant to play Kitty Pride.

Oh yeah? Who played him in X2, or the scene he was supposed to have?

Ah thanks.

I would imagine that he wouldn't want to show any flashes of any X-Men he had no intention of bringing in. I can see if he did that then there was a huge call by fans to see those guys in the movies, then being disappointed by not seeing them, and trashing the movies as a result.

Yep. Although he did tease Beast and Angel in X2 ("Hank McCoy" appearing on a TV set in a bar; what looks like the X-ray of a wing on the wall in Stryker's compound) and they wound up in this one.

But it was probably inevitable that those two wound up in a movie anyway, since they were part of the Original Five.

Teases that serve as hints I would presume.

Of course, if that's considered a "tease," the following mutants (according to IMDB) showed up on Stryker's computer while Mystique was searching it.

Paige Guthrie (Husk)
Samuel Guthrie (Cannonball)
Keniucho Harada (Silver Samurai)
Remy LeBeau (Gambit)
Erik Lensherr (Magneto)
Garrison Maddicks (Weapon X)
Artie Madrox
Jamie Madrox (Multiple Man)
Xi'an Coy Mahn (Karma)
Pietro Maximoff (Quicksilver)
Wanda Maximoff (Scarlet Witch)
Kevin McTaggart (Proteus)
Danielle Moonstar
Ororo Munroe (Storm)

Plus, there were folders for Omega Red (who is on the cast list for X3), Muir Island, Project Wideawake (The Sentinels), Franklin Richards, and Cerebro

ALSO, apparently if you use the "zoom" feature on the DVD, you can find:

Elizabeth Braddock (Psylocke)
Alison Blaire (Dazzler)
Sean Cassidy (Banshee)
Tom Cassidy (Black Tom)
Lorna Dane (Polaris)

And others. Looks like Singer wanted to keep his options open. :)

You have no idea how hard I would mark out if Silver Samurai made into the movies.

Personally, I preferred the second movie. The first one was very good, but they spent almost the entire two hours telling us "This is Cyclops. He is the leader. He shoots red shit out of his eyes. His girlfriend is Jean. Wolverine also likes Jean. Wolverine is a shady loner." So on and so forth.

The second movie, they were able to drop us right into the action. It was still character-driven (Iceman "coming out" to his parents, etc.), but they didn't need to tell us why everything was happening, because we already knew from the first movie. Yeah, it got a little convoluted, but I still think it was more interesting.

Still not sure what to think of the third one. I'm excited, sure, because I loved the first two, but there is certainly the chance that it won't be as good. It's always dangerous to change directors mid-franchise, and if the new characters aren't integrated as smoothly as Nightcrawler was in X2, then they could be in for trouble.

I've never read a comic book in my life and X Men still captures my interest. I thought they did a very good job giving every storyline enough time to grab people's attentions. I mean how long was Pyro in X2 and his story is still easy to follow. Yeah there's a lot going on but that's why they made more than one movie.

X1 was the same as Spiderman, they had to build a foundation for the casual fan, hardcore fans already know whats going on of course.

I can even throw LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring, that movie laid the groundwork for the whole trilogy and as a result many people think its the most boring one.

I'd say it's the best.

Psylocke is going to be a Morlock. Like callisto's bodygaurd or something. I realise that do to the complex continuity of the X-men storyline, you can't have all your characters comic accurate. Especially with this many. But come on. Psylocke a Morlock?

Also, I'm still pissed that Juggernaut isn't a giant CG walking tank. I'm getting visions of Bane from Batman forever.

Oh god, that will suck so bad. Juggernaut is like Hulk size. The CG from the Hulk's movie was pretty good, so I'm sure it wouldn't be too much effort to make it look like Vinnie Jones is like 12 feet tall.

Yeah, except I've seen a pic, and he's not. He wears a muscle suit. Not even a big one.

Hold on, pic comin.

I'll be totally honest I'm psyched for X3 just because Kitty Pryde is getting an expanded role. I'm a total fangirl for Shadowcat. So as long as they don't seriously fuck her up I'm happy.

Ok, no pic coming. Forgot the image is on a graphic heavy site. Can't view it with dial-up. Wait til I go to work. I'll show you you're S&M Juggernaut, and teenage goth Psylocke.

Yeah, I forgot to mention Psylocke is dressed like a goth chick too.

If you're expecting a sassy demon-ninja technonerd avec semi intelligent dragon, you are probably going to be sorely disappointed.

What do you think a casual reader is going to think when they see ^^that^^ on the screen?

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y14...rkphoenixb.jpg

Famke Jenson is not aging well.

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y14...1/wrinkles.jpg

Juggernaut. Or is it the gimp from Pulp Fiction? Can't tell, really.

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y14.../rogue_col.jpg

Here we see Collossus, a large character who can turn his body into solid steel.........hiding behind a rock.

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y14...x3newpics2.jpg

I didn't know the murderous hooker from Sin City was gonna be in this. Nor did did I think a teenage, goth Psylocke would either.

Arn't the Morlocks supposed to be horribly disfigured mutants. Not hot curvacious teenage girls?

Those girls are horrible mutants. Yuck.

They're not the hottest chicks in the world, but they damn sure arn't grotesque.

Psylocke looks hot. Juggernaut looks moronic.

Atleast they have Morlocks, dammit. Give 'em a break.

Yeah, that really doesn't mean anything.

Honestly, this isn't looking great. At this point I am really hoping for suprise appearance by the sentinels. Altrhough they'll probably be giant green aliens from outer space. But that's okay right triad? at least we'll have them.

Idiot.

What the gay? :'(

I'm talking about more early Kitty Pryde, I don't expect them to run with her old Sprite or Ariel code names mind you.

If they aren't going to show the 'ugly' mutants and start 'dolling up' every character, I believe that takes away from the story.
I don't
care about little details, etc but they shouldn't just turn this into a pretty people movie like everything else that we ever see.

They look like the "ladies" in The Longest Yard (Remake, 2005)

What's funny is in about 3 months you're gonna be eating your words shock. Just like every other topic and post you make on this forum

One picture of each character, guys.

One.

Chill out. It'll be fine.

Hopefully they use camera tricks to make Juggernaut huge because tht picture is fucking ridiculous. It's straight out of Riki-oh.

I really don't think there is another director who appreciates, respects, or understands the x-men, like Brian Singer. He's writing a comic for them, ffs.

Shame that he left for gay ass superman.

What the hell happened to Nightcrawler? He isn't in the movie?

Alan Cummings backed out.

Something to do with his last name being Cummings.

What a fucker.

Shit, they could have replaced him. Under all that make up, just about anyone with a dcent German accent could have been Nightcrawler.

Also, the cast is fucking huge, according to IMDB. Bolivar Trask and Omega Red? Unless this movie is a: 3 hours long or b: full of quick cameos, then this is going to be some messed up shiz.

Yeah, I was loving the idea of Red (he's one of my favorites) but I don't really want him in without explaining his backstory and history with guys like Wolverine. :meh:

And for the record I'm extremely worried they won't even mention Juggernaut's relationship with Xavier

Well, they did cast a British guy, and one with a scummy accent at that, so I guess it'll be the brit version of Charles and Cain.

You post this like you are stating a revelation, that movies such as these are franchises. Well of course they are. That doesn't mean that they cannot be done in a decent manner. You're opinions that it will suck, may turn out to be true, that doesn't mean you're hypothesis that because it's a franchise means it'll suck.

If they put these many characters in the movie, I wouldn't mind a 3 hour movie at all as long as everything in it meant something to the film.

Thats odd cause it reads quite well to me.

you fucking liar! then decifer it for me, ass.

It's going to be B. Remember, X2 had a ton of characters too.

Professor X
Wolverine
Magneto
Storm
Jean Grey
Cyclops
Rogue
Mystique
General Stryker
Nightcrawler
Senator Kelly
Pyro
Iceman
Deathstrike
Kitty Pryde
Jubilee
Siryn
Colossus
Sebastian Shaw
Hank McCoy
Mastermind (Jason 143)

All those people were in the movie, but a ton of those people were basically cameos. And that's not even counting characters like the Drakes, the President, so on and so forth. (Or characters like Gambit, who had scenes shot, but deleted)

I imagine that we'll get, like, a glimpse inside the facility where Omega Red is being created, just as a tease for potential sequels. Ditto for Trask. He'll be on TV talking about Project Wideawake, or maybe he's leaving a meeting with the President when Mystique/Kelly is on her/his way in.

Hold up, I do not remember Sebastian Shaw in X2. Did they screw with his character or something?

Also, Kitty Pride, Siryn, Jubilee, Hank McCoy (hell even Collosus) were just very brief cameos.

Anyway, Here's the cst according to IMDB. It's in black, so don't piss yourselves.

Patrick Stewart .... Professor Charles Xavier
Hugh Jackman .... Logan/Wolverine
Ian McKellen .... Eric Lensherr/Magneto
Halle Berry .... Ororo Munroe/Storm
Famke Janssen .... Jean Grey/Phoenix
Kelsey Grammer .... Dr. Hank McCoy/Beast
Anna Paquin .... Rogue
Rebecca Romijn .... Mystique
Shawn Ashmore .... Bobby Drake/Iceman
Ellen Page .... Kitty Pryde/Shadowcat
Ben Foster .... Warren Worthington/Angel
Aaron Stanford .... John Allerdyce/Pyro
Olivia Williams .... Moira MacTaggart
Shohreh Aghdashloo .... Dr. Kavita Rao
James Marsden .... Scott Summers/Cyclops
Cameron Bright .... Leech
Daniel Cudmore .... Peter Rasputin/Colossus
Vinnie Jones .... Cain Marko/Juggernaut
Michael Murphy .... Warren Worthington, Jr.
Eric Dane .... Jamie Madrox/Multiple Man
Dania Ramirez .... Callisto
Bill Duke .... Bolivar Trask
Bryce Hodgson .... Artie
Shauna Kain .... Theresa Rourke/Siryn
Mei Melançon .... Betsy Braddock/Psylocke (as Mei Melancon)
Vince Murdocco .... Omega Red
Omahyra .... Stacy X (attached) (as Omyhra Mota)
Kea Wong .... Jubilation Lee/Jubilee

That brings the total to 28, not counting extras. And I have a feeling there could be more who aren't yet credited.

Shaw was McCoy's "opponent" on whatever debate show was on in the bar where Mystique seduced Laurio. I don't know that he's ever actually shown, but McCoy calls him "Mr. Shaw."

And the second half of that statement is my point. Everybody but the pre-existing characters, Beast, Angel, and Juggernaut will be glorified cameos. Like, there'll be a scene with the "new X-Men" fighting against the "new Brotherhood," so we'll see Siryn, Jubilee, et al fighting against Pyro and the Morlocks or something, just as a side story to the main battle. Like the escape sequence in the second movie.

He said just because it's a franchise doesn't mean it will suck. Pretty standard statement.

I hope this is as good as the last two because I heared David Hayter {Writer} isn't writing this one.

Nightcrawler isn't in it because they have Beast and they felt two blue characters would confuse people. Sad but true.

okay. but i never meant to say it would suck because it's a franchise. i meant to say that it would suck because it has a cast of like 200 characters. i was merely trying to state that i do not expect a good movie from a franchise - in other words, it will probably suck because its a franchise, but it will definitely suck because the size of the cast alone leaves little room for premise, plot, or emotion.

but now that i think about it in the terms that YOUR Hero stated, i think that it is a safe bet that because it's a franchise does mean that it will suck. of all of the franchise movies out there ( Batman, Alien, Freddy, Jason, and all the rest ), they're terrible films after the second or third one. (exception: the Batman prequil was pretty good). but they are made for money, not because they have a story to tell. and many people feel like they have to see them. a lot of people see these movies knowing it will stink ( rotten milk syndrome ). and on top of that, these kinds of movies are extremely marketable, especially towards children and younger audiences. and that is the only level on which these movies make any sense, because without the name of the franchise, (i.e. X-Men) the movies do not hold up on their own on any level.

They make movies to make money. Always have. Even 'Shindler's List', a movie with a story to tell, wasn't free admission now was it? It was made to make money.

20th Century Fox opted out of the contract He was signed for 2 films, they not he backed out and decided not to use him or the Nightcrawler character

Kitty and Colossus should have larger roles, probably above a cameo.

Everyone understnads what you are trying to say. Go rant in a different thread now.

Yeah. One of the clips from the trailer makes it look like there's at least one scene of "new" X-Men walking down the sub-basement corridors.

Can't remember it exactly, but it's Wolverine and I think Storm followed by Rogue, Iceman, Colossus (in human form), and Kitty.

Makes me wonder if something's going to happen to Cyclops, and the new kids need to go all Giant-Size #1.

Is the bottom of this Synopsis true?

SPOILERS




Cyclops dies!

I'm fed up of the way Cyclops is portrayed in the films. He is one of the best characters about, and his mutant ability rocks. He has hardly been in the last two films, and now...he dies???

Maybe you wanna put that spoiler in black font?
