December 6, 200520 yr Ian McKlellan is the man. Angel looks good, Kelsey looks fake---but good. Jean Gray--I don't follow the comics, but I'm assuming that's the Dark Phoenix you were speaking of? And you cannot beat Hugh Jackman!!! Badass!!! I think the story will revolve more around the Phoenix and not Dark Phoenix (I could be mistaken), but yeah that would be her. And having just finished watching the trailer for it, all I can say is :notworthy

The way you wrote that made me laugh and think about for a minute I meant 'real' in terms of 'Hollywood' effects.
December 6, 200520 yr There are alot more characters that deserve to be there before Gambit. Havok, Cannonball, Polaris, just to name a few. No. Gambit > *
December 6, 200520 yr The thing is Gambit doesn't deserve to be there over any of those 3. Cannonball is an immortal, and according to some stories has a part in the final defeat of Apocalypse Havok and Polaris were the first 2 NEW members after the original five, and if I am not mistaken Havok is an omega level mutant(one of the most powerful), and Polaris is also extremely powerful as well. I like Gambit, but he has nothing special to offer over any of the 3 I mentioned.
December 6, 200520 yr Yeah but when people ask you to name some of the most popular X-Men, they will probably mention: Wolverine Cyclops Storm Jean Grey Gambit Beast Rogue Iceman Angel/ArchAngel Nightcrawler Professor X And since those are usually the most popular, this is probably going to be the characters we see first.

Maybe to the casual fan, but for die hards, Havok and Cannonball(and Polaris to a lesser extent) would be mentioned before Gambit. I have no problems with Gambit, I like the character, but in the context of the movies he doesn't belong. The movies have taken kind of a start from the beginning with a nowadays approach. Every charcter of the actual team(including Nightcrawler) has been around since at least the early 70s. Cannonball is an 80's character like Gambit but arrived before the Cajun. Plus he is one of the remaining immortals, along with Selene and Apocalypse. He could step in and take over as leader of the blue/gold team right now if needed. This is the geekiest thing I have ever said, but I am glad I have at least a decent paying job now so I can re-subscribe to all the X-titles.

Before the original X-Men movie, there were alot of fans who had read the comics before, however after the movie became successful, many people jumped on its bandwagon. X-Men isn't just for the die hard anymore..
December 7, 200520 yr Author It looks good...did anybody see Juggernaut in the trailer? I didn't think I saw him.
December 9, 200520 yr Let's play a game... Who is... Row 1, Col. 2 Row 2, Col. 3 Row 3, Col. 3 Row 3, Col. 5 Row 4, Col. 1
December 9, 200520 yr Let's play a game... Who is... Row 1, Col. 2 Row 2, Col. 3 Row 3, Col. 3 Row 3, Col. 5 Row 4, Col. 1 Juggernaut. ? Kitty Pride/Shadowcat Pyro Collossus
December 9, 200520 yr Let's play a game... Who is... Row 1, Col. 2 Row 2, Col. 3 Row 3, Col. 3 Row 3, Col. 5 Row 4, Col. 1 Juggernaut. ? Kitty Pride/Shadowcat Pyro Collossus What's with the question mark? And if Row 3, Col. 5 is Pyro, who is Row 2, Col. 1?
December 9, 200520 yr The question mark means I dont know and good point....I think R3/C5 is Toad, its just the red lighting threw me off. EDIT...the one I didnt know is Callisto. I did some quick searching, thats who she is.
December 9, 200520 yr What does Callisto do... And uh, I remember Kitty Pride from X2, but it doesn't look like the same girl?
December 9, 200520 yr What does Callisto do... And uh, I remember Kitty Pride from X2, but it doesn't look like the same girl? http://www.marveldirectory.com/individuals/c/callisto.htm http://www.mutanthigh.com/callisto.html I am 100% certain that is Kitty Pride and I dont remember her in any of the other X-Men movies. Plus, this was a new casting and they wanted Maggie Grace before she decided against it because she was in the middle of Season 1 of Lost.
December 9, 200520 yr Kitty Pride passes through solid objects, no? Or maybe I'm thinking of a different character. Well when XMen school was invaded, I remember one of the girls running through the walls to escape the police/invaders. In fact, I also remember an older student morph into a body-armor suit....Might that have been Collosus?
December 9, 200520 yr Wasn't Cannonball one of the original early 80's New Mutants? I have a first issue of a comic book called The New Mutants and I remember a character called Cannonball who could move like a comet real fast and smash into things
December 9, 200520 yr Yeah it's Kitty Pride/Shadowcat & she has appeared very briefly in the first 2, but this will be the third actress who's played her. & yep Lefty, correct on both counts. Juggernaut, Callisto, Shadowcat, Toad, and Collossus. Collossus looks perfect by the way. Juggernaut will never be big enough but what're you gonna do? Gotta give him the helmet though.

Duh, OI just realized that's the same dude from X1(Toad), but I thought he died?
December 11, 200520 yr What does Callisto do... Calisto was the leader of the mutant splinter faction living in the sewers called the Morlocks. I'm not sure of her power. Bullet Tooth Tony as Juggernaut? BADASS. I wasn't pumped, all it took was for me to see that. Oh, and to whomever keeps bringing up Havok, Polaris and Cannonball, NONE of those characters is that popular. Cannonball has a lame southern accent and is an idiot bumpkin, Polaris is a bootleg Magneto and Havok has the power of atomic weapons in his hands, and yet, because Polaris and Havok's powers are so powerful (IE TOO powerful), they got knocked out at the beginning of almost every battle. I like Havok, but moreso for his potential than anything they've ever done with him. The other two are straight *yawns* I always preferred Nightcrawler to Beast.
December 11, 200520 yr This movie is going to kick ass. Colossus was my favorite mutant when I was a kid, and Juggernaut was my favorite Villain. Hopefully they do a good job with it.
December 11, 200520 yr Grammar looks incredibly awesome as Beast. I think I will actually go see this in theaters this time. I can't wait.
