Yeah, it should have its own thread, already expressed how much of a fucking clusterfuck that Marvel thread can become with different topics being discussed at different times...

I have several thoughts and issues to address with this film, although at this point in time, my major issues are with the casting...

The cast includes James McAvoy as the young Professor X, Michael Fassbender as Erik Lensherr, who becomes Magneto,[38] Kevin Bacon as Sebastian Shaw,Alice Eve as Emma Frost, Nicholas Hoult as Hank McCoy, also known as Beast, Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique, Caleb Landry Jones as Banshee, Lucas Till as Havok, and Edi Gathegi as Darwin. Broadway actor Benjamin Walker was previously cast as Beast, however he was dropped from the role. Fox is pursuing Rosamund Pike for Moira MacTaggert. Josh Hutcherson has been rumored to be a contender for the role of Cyclops. It was rumored that Aaron Johnson was in talks to play Cyclops, however Johnson's representatives have denied his involvement. Kevin Pennington is being considered for Multiple Man.[49] Surfer Erica Hosseini has auditioned for the part of Willow. Also linked to the film are Jack Huston, Eddie Redmayne, Frank Dillane, Jason Behr, Andrew Francis, Boyd Holbrook, Patrick J. Adams, Jonas Armstrong, Jamie Dornan, Tom Parker, and Meagan Good.

No idea if that is legit, but whatever, my main gripe straight off the mark is this fucking prick as beast...

Fair enough, casting is casting, and should wait until the film to see how good who is, but the fact is, this little prick off Skins and other UK tv and film....he simply CANNOT FUCKING ACT. I hate him.

Anyway, as the months go by, I look forward to seeing this film develop.

There are stories of coincidence and chance and intersections and strange things told and which is which and who only knows....and we generally say, "Well if that was in movie I wouldn't believe it." Someone's so and so meet someone else's so and so and so on -- It is in the humble opinion of this narrator that these strange things happen all the time.......and so it goes and so it goes and the book says, "We may be through with the past, but the past ain�t through with us."
