X-Men Origins: Wolverine

[senatorlamb]

Wolverine has a Director

Fox has (finally) signed a director for their upcoming Wolverine spin-off, and the lucky helmer is ... Gavin Hood, whom you might know from the South African film Tsotsi.

Hey, the movie won Best Foreign Film at the '06 Oscars, so the guy clearly has some skills. But what else was it that made the Fox brass take notice? Apparently it's Mr. Hood's Rendition, a New Line political drama that stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Reese Witherspoon, Peter Sarsgaard, and Meryl Streep. (That movie opens on October 19th.)


For the Wolverine fans who are still skeptical, you can take solace in the fact that not only does leading man Hugh Jackman approve of the decision -- you can bet he was involved in the entire process. Here's what he told Variety: "I have long been a fan of Gavin's work and know he will make a masterful film with the character intensity and action beats the fans expect."


Production on Wolverine (which was adapted from the comics by David Benioff) begins in November.

[hailthewarrior]

Cool. This'll be a great movie to include fan favorite mutants in small roles and still keep a guaranteed seller like Wolverine.

[love_american_style]

hope it doesn't suck.

[Shatter590]

wolverine was the best part of all the x-films

[TJ Wells]

tsotsi is incredible. this should be good.

[FondestMemory]

i'd be more interested if it were a weapon x movie. but from everything i've read, it doesn't seem like it is.

[peacelovemusic]

They're also making a Magneto spin-off and (maybe, supposedly) a Dr. Charles Xavier spin-off

[TinMan20]

my hopes for wolverine, magneto and professer x are slim.

in a way i hope they dont succeed, because if they dont, we wont be getting a movie for every charector in x-men. and that will happen if these movies are profitable.

[FstFtsVsFences]

It's sounding like my fears for this movie can subside a bit finally. :-)

[christopher™]

can't wait for this

[White Noise]

i really don't want this to suck.

[AshesAshes]

Wolverine is bad ass so this movie should be bad ass

[sasalukac]

They're also making a Magneto spin-off and (maybe, supposedly) a Dr. Charles Xavier spin-off

i never heard of the xavier spin-off... might be interesting if they combine the two

[pshh]

this better kick ass

[shOcktreAtmEnt]

I bet this will be good

[WakingTheMisery]

Most over rsted comic book character ever.

[DivisionStreet]

Hugh Jackman was born to be Wolverine. He just looks and sounds too much like him. It's crazy. I couldn't believe it when I saw the first film.

[drudo182]

First image released.

PUMPED.

[Jessooker]

woah. i'm loving this. i can't wait.

[DivisionStreet]

Hugh is fuckin' jacked.

[drudo182]

We have so long to go too....

I heard Jackman was working out like a maniac for this.

[Jessooker]

I think Jackman's Wolverine is one of the best adaptations of a comic book character. I couldn't see anyone else doing it better.

[drudo182]

Me either. He's perfect.

[gloriousmuse]

I can't wait for this! I just hope it isnt a stinker like X3 was. What a disappointment that was.

[Jessooker]

I can't wait for this! I just hope it isnt a stinker like X3 was. What a disappointment that was.

I didn't think it was great, but I didn't mind it. It needed more Angel.

[drudo182]

It needed more Cyclops.

I love Cyclops, Pryo, Wolverine, and Gambit. I know Marsden had to work on another project, Superman Returns I think, but still...

I think if I could have any superpower it would be what Pryo can do. Love that.

[Lueda Alia]

I can't wait for this movie.

[Adrian Villagomez]

I'm not expecting much from Marvel.

[fluke182]

I'm not expecting much from Marvel.
I don't know man. Gavin Hood directing, starring Hugh Jackman (as stated often - perfect for Wolverine), Michelle Monaghan, Liev Schreiber, and Michael C. Hall more than likely...that's some hot stuff.

As Desmond would say, "keep the faith brotha."

[Vincewithouthee]

I think Jackman's Wolverine is one of the best adaptations of a comic book character. I couldn't see anyone else doing it better.

The funny part about that is that they wanted Russell Crowe originally. Glad Jackman got it in the end.

I can't wait for this either, I think it's gonna be good. Wolverine has a pretty interesting past and he obviously is a cool character. And did I hear possibly Michael C Hall being in this movie? Looking forward to it even more, then.

[B-Bones]

Rumors are Hall playing a young Stryker (badass), Schreiber playing Sabertooth (I personally love this choice), and Monaghan playing Silver Fox (Three homers in a row).

I hope they come true.

[Jessooker]

I love Liev Schreiber.

[fluke182]

I love Liev Schreiber.
Me too. I feel as if he's very underrated, and Everything is Illuminated is one of my favorite movies. He did a great job making that film.

[Jessooker]

Me too. I feel as if he's very underrated, and Everything is Illuminated is one of my favorite movies. He did a great job making that film.

That is such a great movie.

[FondestMemory]

they're gonna end up going for a pg13 rating, and that's gonna hold them back a little bit.

i'm trying not to get my hopes too high for this. i don't think it'll be nearly as good as it should be.

Am I the only one who doesn't like Hugh Jackman as Wolverine? In my mind, Wolverine is a short little prick who shaves three times a day, and whose shoulders are wider than his body is long. Hugh Jackman is just too...pretty. But then again, I read the comics, so maybe that's why my opinion differs.

In theory your right, but sometimes acting ability and marketability outweigh comic purity. A big reason why the X-Men movies played well with the general public was because of Hugh Jackman's ability to bring in the ladies. I'm sure they preferred his body to some runt, no offense to runts.

Very true. No comic book movie has ever been marketed to the very small comic reading elite, anyway. It'd be studio suicide. I'm not too mad about it.

:thumbup: haha, but really I think Hugh Jackman is a terrific actor and has really proved himself in every role including Wolverine.

[fluke182]

It's funny how people are still upset over the fact they didn't actually cast an actor who was 5'3". Come on guys, Wolverine is too small in the comics. Unrealistically small even. Jackman is perfect.

Speaking of perfect...Ryan Reynolds is Deadpool (http://www.aintitcool.com/node/35658) in this movie.

I am so unfathomably stoked. PERFECT casting.

[Rockybehri]

if the writing is anything like the third xmen movie, it really will be such a shame.

[lenard27]

The third X-Men movie had some cool action, but the writing and story sucked so bad. Plus, they fucking killed Cyclops!!!(at least it looks like it)

i just read that on both Ain't It Cool / Superherohype.... aaaaaaaaaaaand i am absolutely stoked out of my mind!!!!!

[gloriousmuse]

will.i.am has been cast as who, i don't know. Variety didn't say :-/

[Jessooker]

weird.

[billyboatkid]

The Blob is gonna be in it.

[AshesAshes]

I would love to see Omega Red in the movie I doubt it though.

[chichagof]

for all you gambit fans :)


http://www.empireonline.com/news/story.asp?NID=22026+

Superherohype is reporting that Taylor Kitsch (TV's Friday Night Lights) has been cast as Gambit in the forthcoming Wolverine movie, confirming months of rumours that the character will make an appearance.

Kitsch has apparently signed a three picture deal, which would suggest that Gambit, a mutant with the power to make objects explosive by charging them with kinetic energy, will play a major role, but could mean that Fox is merely hedging its bets.

It's been a long wait to see Gambit in a X-Men movie, who's been rumoured since the first film was announced. We're a little disappointed that Lost's Josh Holloway won't be playing the role, because he would have been perfect casting, but we can't wait to see him and his explosive playing cards on screen.

In other Wolverine news, Aintitcool (http://www.aintitcool.com/node/35658) is repeating the long circulating rumour that Ryan Reynolds will cameo in the movie as Deadpool, a lesser know smart-ass mercenary character. As we said, the story's been doing the rounds for a while, but AICN says they have it confirmed. This would be fantastic casting.

[drudo182]

Not just Gambit fans, but Taylor Kitsch fans.

Taylor is my second favorite character on Friday Night Lights and he will awesome as Gambit. Better not cancel that show.

For all you ladies...

[gloriousmuse]

HOLY SHIT!!

Move over Hugh Jackman!

[drudo182]

And if you want to actually see his face and haven't before, he's another shot of him.

http://blog.nbc.com/fall/taylorbatch%20006.jpg

[ror.]

im excited gambit is finally seeing screen time. i was really surprised that he hadn't been touched on yet.

is sabertooth in this or no?

[kizzity]

Good choice on Gambit, I have to say he has the slightly sleazy but still ridiculously charming air about him that I always imagined Gambit would have.

[eMart]

Eh I'm kinda on the fence about Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool. He better not fuck him up. And the Gambit casting is pretty good, but I would've prefered Josh Holloway.

[B-Bones]

Ya I heard all of this on the radio this morning. STOKED about Gambit. STOKED about Deadpool.

[FOBcareemo]

Eh I'm kinda on the fence about Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool. He better not fuck him up. And the Gambit casting is pretty good, but I would've prefered Josh Holloway.

Take every comedic "smartass" role Ryan Reynolds has done and then double the sheer badassery of him in Blade: Trinity and Smokin Aces and you have Deadpool

I'm all for this


That FNL kid will work as gambit but ya Josh Holloway would have been dead on

[Miss Heartcore]

Eh I'm kinda on the fence about Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool. He better not fuck him up. And the Gambit casting is pretty good, but I would've prefered Josh Holloway.

i've heard several people mention josh holloway.


i was so utterly disappointed over the awful casting and inaccuracies of the trilogy that i'mso skeptical about getting my hopes up. maybe with a new director, some things will be done right.

im curious to see how ryan reynolds looks in costume. this could work.

obviously.
i meant more of how he is portrayed.

Ah don't get me started on the X-Men trilogy. Although I didn't love them, I did watch them with the lowest of expectations and ended up liking them (except for the piece of shit known as X3). I really hope they remain faithful to the Deadpool costume and don't try to modernize it.

[FondestMemory]

i've always said ryan reynolds would make an awesome deadpool.

and wtf? gambit? in the wolverine movie?

i'm a gambit fan, but i don't want him thrown in a movie just for the sake of putting him in it. he won't make sense in the timeline of anything.

[local superhero]

i'm still hyped on everything so far about this movie.... but there's still a small inkling of a worry that any cameos and/or fan-fave moments or references will be along the lines of X3's "i'm the juggernaut, bitch! moment

but thats only a minor worry, cuz i seriously doubt this won't be outstanding

[drudo182]

I heard Gambit plays a big part in the film so that's really sweet.

[CLARIFY THIS]

I'm so happy that Reynolds got cast as Deadpool,perfection.

I have yet to see anything that Gavin Hood has directed.

[GoWaitInTheCar]

Hmm, I bet this will be good. At least I hope it will be. I'm excited.

[IAPAI]

Dominic Monaghan joins the cast (http://justjared.buzznet.com/2008/02/21/dominic-monaghan-blackwing/) as Beak.

http://buzznet-02.vo.llnwd.net/media-cdn/jj1/headlines/2008/02/dominic-monaghan-beak.jpg

[drudo182]

Ha, no way. I love Dom.

[gloriousmuse]

yay! Charlie! I'm not surprised since he's out of the job

[Bob Payne]

I'm not exactly sure how Beak is being written into the storyline, as he didn't debut until like 2004. As a teenager, moreover. Sounds very unlikely. I'd wait for an official source, but don't hold your breath.

[drudo182]

Oh, this is a JustJared source?

Lame. Not sure I believe it anymore.

[local superhero]

welp, so far we have Hugh Jackman (Wolverine), Liev Schreiber (Sabretooth), Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool), Taylor Kitsch (Gambit), Will.i.am (Kestrel), Danny Huston (William Stryker) and Lynn Collins (Silver Fox), and the rumored inclusion of Dominic Monaghan (Beak) and the Blob

i'm interested to see how these characters will all flow together into a cohesive Wolverine-centered plot

[drudo182]

What if Wolverine is only in it for like fifteen minutes.

Ha.

[fluke182]

I know, seemed suspect to me, but hey...maybe they can pull it off?

That's my question too. Especially considering how a significant portion is supposed to take place in Japan, and only Sabertooth ever gets involved in that part of his life. I'm still upset about Huston getting Stryker over Michael C. Hall, but its still a pretty good casting. Huston is a fine actor. Will.I.Am is frustrating, but whatever. And I wanted Michelle Monaghan in there instead of Lynn Collins.

But I love Dom as Beak. That's a good call, even if he is older.
What if Wolverine is only in it for like fifteen minutes.

Ha.
So the Wolverine would be the EXACT inverse of comic Wolverine.

Edit: It just occurred to me people may not get that joke. Marvel puts Wolverine in everything because he's really popular. Some would say the market is oversaturated with Wolverine appearances.

[gloriousmuse]

its official Dom will be in Wolverine (http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117981281.html?categoryid=13&cs=1)

[drudo182]

[fluke182]

http://www.empireonline.com/images/cover/large/3.jpg
OK, what the hell. That article says that Michael C. Hall is playing Stryker too. So who is playing him, Danny Huston or Michael C. Hall?

Please be Hall. Please be Hall.

[drudo182]

It's not Hall, I do know that.

I think they look fine.

The left hand looks like the blades are blurring together because of the angle of his hand.

[BottleRocket]

Cool promo images. That being said, didn't Wolverine already have three movies?

[AshesAshes]

Cool promo images. That being said, didn't Wolverine already have three movies?

X-men had 3 movies.

[drudo182]

I think he was just meaning those movies were really all about Wolvie anyways.

Yes, this is pretty much his fourth film.

[AshesAshes]

Yea,that's true I didnt think of it that way.

Are they going to make a Storm movie?I remember her complaining about Storm not having a big enough role in the movies lol.

Ugh, I've never been a big Storm fan.

[AshesAshes]

Either have I and their is no way you could base a whole movie off of her.I really hope Omega-Red is in this movie

[gilatron5000]

The only way I could see a Storm movie would be a romance with Black Panther.

But even then....bleh.

Liev and Hugh. Great combo.

[AshesAshes]

I wish Omega-Red was in this maybe if they do a sequel they can throw him in it.

[Miss Heartcore]

So...they're basically going to make Liev and Hugh look like similar characters to make you understand that they're each other's counterpoints?

One of my biggest gripes with the X-movies - Cyc is the leader of the X-Men, not the outcast Wolverine. The boy scout knows how to kick ass and lead his troops.

[Chris Fallon]

One of my biggest gripes with the X-movies - Cyc is the leader of the X-Men, not the outcast Wolverine. The boy scout knows how to kick ass and lead his troops.
Yeah, that was the biggest complaint I had too. As a whole, Cyclops was underused in those films.

[mht]

Cyclops was used so little in the movies seeing how he was the most dominate speaker in the cartoon in the 90s.

He was always in the story lines too.

[JIMMYateEARTH]

Cyclops was used so little in the movies seeing how he was the most dominate speaker in the cartoon in the 90s.

thats because he is THE x-man, he is the character that caries most of the x-books, one of the originals. They tried to make the movies too much about wolverine which was a poor decision, They should gave him his own movie sooner

[mht]

I think they should have used a bigger/more well known actor for him rather than the other X-Men, whose live acting out shined in the end.

[billyboatkid]

I've actually been reading into all the different story lines at work lately. Nothing better to do.

This movie should be sick though.

[JIMMYateEARTH]

I think they should have used a bigger/more well known actor for him rather than the other X-Men, whose live acting out shined in the end.
I thought he did a good job, he may have been out acted but that can be blamed on writers too. They didn't put him in the spotlight like they should

[Jessooker]

They really made Cyclops a pansy in the movies.

[Miss Heartcore]

They really made Cyclops a pansy in the movies.\
Correct. I also feel as though James Marsden was too young for the role.

[WakingTheMisery]

I wish Omega-Red was in this maybe if they do a sequel they can throw him in it.

They should just do a Colossus movie with him. Its what everyone really wants.

i'm not really sure why, but i'm not anticipating this movie at all.

[FondestMemory]

i always really liked gambit.

his personality was always very rad to me.

Look at this dude.

[PaulsRightNut]

maybe its his hair. He seems like he would have really pretty hair.

Although I would like to see a picture of the costume, because I'm curious how they're going to interpret the spandex suit all up over his neck/sides of his face.

I know. I am looking forward to seeing what he looks like more than anything else right now.

There is some interview with Taylor Kitsch online somewhere he discusses both Friday Night Lights season three and this movie. I really need to find it. Can't wait for both.

[drudo182]

Wow. I am really jealous now.

"20th Century Fox offered a special treat today for fans attending the studio's movies presentation at the San Diego Comic-Con with a first look at next year's X-Men Origins: Wolverine, complete with an appearance by Logan himself, star Hugh Jackman.

The Gavin Hood-directed spin-off recounts Wolverine's exploits before he joined the X-Men. The prequel stars Liev Schreiber as Victor Creed (a.k.a. Sabretooth), Danny Huston as William Stryker, Dominic Monaghan as Beak, Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, Taylor Kitsch as Gambit, and Will.i.am as Wraith.

Jackman surprised the crowd with his "unscheduled" appearance, telling the fans that the movie had literally just wrapped filming and thanking them for all the success he's had thanks to Wolverine. He then came down off the stage to meet Wolverine creator Len Wein and shake his hand.

Jackman then presented "bad ass" exclusive full of "beserker rage" footage from the movie, which he also produced. And we can confirm that it was indeed bad ass.

The trailer-like sequence opens with Logan and Creed in a military prison cell where they survived execution by firing squad for decapitating a senior officer. They are met by Colonel William Stryker, who offers them a chance to serve their country by taking part in the Weapon X program. We then saw glimpses of the team's different members: Blob, Deadpool. Wraith and, in perhaps the biggest mass geekgasm Hall H has ever heard, Gambit.

We then see Logan in the tank where he undergoes the adamantium process, awakening in a beserker rage and slashing down a number of guards. Stryker then calls on Creed, clad in a black trenchcoat and black outfit, to hunt down his old Army buddy Logan. You can imagine how that turns out.

The footage showed Gambit tossing his trademark cards and riding a motorcycle. There was plenty of shots from a chase sequence between Wolverine on a motorcycle, Army trucks and a helicopter. The wartime sequences appear to be set in the Vietnam era, with the New Zealand countryside doubling for Southeast Asia.

Jackman, who had just gotten off a plane from Australia, did not take any questions but thanked the fans profusely for all they've done for his career."

thats awesome. I'm excited.

[Bryant]

He's a weaksauce Wolverine!

in my opinionI always felt like Wolverine got too much attention though. Plus, Remy gets the ladies, haha.

[drudo182]

Comic Con footage:

"All mixed in are tons of cameos including Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, Gambit, Blob and more. And yes, Gambit using his staff and throwing cards looked awesome (the crowd went nuts)."

"at the very end we see Creed (now as Sabretooth) say to Wolverine, "How are you gonna kill me?"

"I'm gonna cut your goddamn head off." BAM. END."

[FondestMemory]

still no fucking clue why beak is in this.

i mean, there are a lot of characters in this that don't make any sense. but beak makes the least sense.

if this comes out good, look out for a gambit spinoff.

[gilatron5000]

I always felt like Wolverine got too much attention though. Plus, Remy gets the ladies, haha.Oh. He does.

I don't like Wolverine anymore. lol

Let me clarify. I DO like Gambit(and while I called him a weaksauce Wolverine, i just mean storyline wise, and attitude wise). But I just think he's an odd favorite. Like, people were getting really pissed off that he wasn't in the movies, and I'm like...well, um, ok. There are already 17,000 people in the movies, and many more characters who deserve it more. As it is, we only got Angel, a founding member, for 2.5 seconds.

AND OMG WTF LOL at Dominic Monaghan being Beak.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v258/gilatron/beak.jpg

I can't wait to see that.

[FondestMemory]

yeah, the beak casting is absolutely perfect. just still confused why he's in it.

[Bryant]

Oh. He does.

I can't wait to see that.Yea, I see what you mean. They both got the attitude thing, haha. And Angel definitely didn't get enough screen-time. I hated Cyclops bein a bitch too.

Nightcrawler's my favorite X-Men though and probably one of my all-time favorite Heroes.

Don't tell me you dislike Mr. Wagner, haha.

[gilatron5000]

I Adore Nightcrawler

Edit: oh boo, I can't caps lock that.

Imagine that capslocked.

My other favorites are Psylocke(who got underused in the movies), and Colossus.

[FondestMemory]

YOU ADORE NIGHTCRAWLER

Colossus is not only also another great X-Men, but he has the coolest name. Piotr Nikolaevich Rasputin. I dare someone to top that name, haha. He should've had the accent in the movie.

Also, Psylocke was in the movies? What parts and who played her?

[gilatron5000]

YOU ADORE NIGHTCRAWLER

xhaha, thanks. wtf though.

She was the asian girl who was chillin with Callisto(the hot dominican girl with all the tattoos who ended up on Heroes) and Kid Omega (Porcupine Kid, the asian guy who ended up on LOST). She had that cool shadow power that grabbed the doctor.

http://www.iwatchstuff.com/images/2006/01/x3stacypsy.jpg

She's on the right. Callisto is in the middle. IDK what that is on the left.

[poppa Q]

That comic con footage sounds fucking awesome.

[drudo182]

Dom is great. I am glad he is in this but it probably isn't for long.

She's on the right. Callisto is in the middle. IDK what that is on the left.Oh, damn. Would've never known. I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and say her character was faaar from it's comic origin. Didn't she use to be an english lady?

And the dominican girl in the middle is not familiar to me from Heroes. I've only seen season 1 though.

The thing all the way to the left looks like this dude I use to know. Not even lying.

[drudo182]

She's introduced in season two.

[gilatron5000]

Dom is great. I am glad he is in this but it probably isn't for long.One can only hope. I mean that in way that I want him to be in it. A lot. He'd be amusing.

And the dominican girl in the middle is not familiar to me from Heroes. I've only seen season 1 though.

The thing all the way to the left looks like this dude I use to know. Not even lying.1.One would need a movie backstory for it to be off. She's just THERE. But the asian thing isn't so bad. Psylocke is so convoluted, it's hard to keep it straight. She was an English lady(Captain Britain's sister), who had her body switched with that of a Japanese ninja assassin lady known as Kwannon. Kwannon shows up to the mansion one day, and guess what? She has the legacy virus. So Psylocke can't get her body back, and Kwannon dies.

And she was controlled by Sebastien Shaw for a while. I don't know.

2. Drudo's right. She's introduced in season 2 with a brother that looks suspiciously a lot like Prince.

3. I'm not sure who I should feel bad for! Your friend, or the actress!

[FondestMemory]

haha, thanks. wtf though.

I've done some comic book research and somethings confuse me SOOO much! Especially when it comes to Gods and demensions.

Are you talking about Captain Britain?

[gilatron5000]

Are you talking about Captain Britain?Nah. Chick on Heroes. I want to say...Maya. and Pedro.

[Bryant]

Nah. Chick on Heroes. I want to say...Maya. and Pedro.
Oh! They were in the 1st episode of season 2 right? I remember some crazy shit she did to the people who tried to rape her.

[gilatron5000]

yep.

yep.Is the 2nd season out on DVD yet? I can't afford it but if so, I'm gonna get my sugar momma to buy it, haha.

Holy shit that footage sounds awesome. Does anyone know if the trailer is up anywhere? Here's the guy playing Gambit http://www.comicnerd.com/wp-content/images/taylor_kitsch_gambit.jpg
He's no Josh Holloway, but after having him turn down the role this is a good 2nd. Please oh please let this movie be good.

[NickLopez]

Tim Riggins is playing Gambit? Cooooool.

[buysoap]

I'm so surprised that no one has pirated this fucking footage yet. I want to see Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool. Fuck Gambit.

[Handy Man]

why people just love gambit so much?

[Mercy Medical]

So stoked for this movie.

[eMart]

why people just love gambit so much?He was cool in the 90's animated series. :shrug:

My main gripe with the X-men movies was how much they fucked up cyclops. And the way he died in the third was so fucking stupid

There is no way what happened is true. You can't do that to that character...

[Miss Heartcore]

They didn't hint that it wasn't true at all though. I was devastated with how that movie paned out. What a fail.

There is no way what happened is true. You can't do that to that character... Did you watch the movie? If not, keep it that way. They fucked up the series. Dont' even get me started on how they killed off Professor X

They didn't hint that it wasn't true at all though. I was devastated with how that movie paned out. What a fail.Exactly, it wasn't even necessary for him to die. Like it maybe would've been cool if he sacrificed himself to save Jean or someone else, but to just die like that in the beginning and for nothing was incredibly dumb. Sucks even more since he was always my favorite X-men character.

First of all, I'm not an idiot and know quite a bit about the X-Men.

Have you even finished the film and watched what's after the credits, boof?

Also, why are we putting spoiler warnings on a film that came out like two years ago?

[Miss Heartcore]

You can't kill off James Marsden!
From what I recall from the X-Men series, usually Cyclops is the only person who can bring Phoenix back to Jean. So there's no *fucking* way she'd kill him. Why did he have to die? It makes no effing sense to me. Why was he such a whiny bitch all of a sudden too? A bunch of Cyc haters on the writing team, I swear

Dude, I'm seriously not over it. I almost walked out of the theater. I remember unintentionally yelling "Oh COME on"

I won't watch that trilogy at all....it's dead to me.

I love Cyclops and I do know that they wrote him out so Marsden could do Superman Returns which sucks, and yes, I still don't see the need to kill this character off. He's the leader of the X-Men. But the films never really went that route with the character so I guess it kind of makes sense.

I just figured if they did another sequel, they would find a way to bring him back. They have to.

[drudo182]

Makes the lurkers nervous, curious, etc? :shrug:

Eh. I figure a tv show as a weeks grace period before we can post spoilers or talk about it and thats just a courtesy so a movie this old wouldn't matter.

I wouldn't worry about it.

It's finnnne.

How about they just pretend that trilogy never existed like they did with The Hulk and just keep some of the same cast--Professor X, Jean, Beast, Nightcrawler, Kitty Pryde...


I dunno, who did you think was casted well? Please god, don't say Rogue...

[drudo182]

I love Hugh Jackman as well as Marsden.

Famke Janssen and Patrick Stewart were great as well. First movie was decent. Second I thought was great and I even liked the third one for the most part.

I'm just glad Singer left to do Superman Returns.

[Miss Heartcore]

Second was definitely better than the first.

And I liked Hugh as Wolverine too, though he needed more of a growl and accent.

Sean Ashmore is good looking but needed more of a 'tude to be Bobby.

1. Huh? When did I imply you were an idiot?
2. Yeah, I know he's technically "still alive" in someone elses body. But a) the way they killed him off was very stupid b) why the fuck did they kill him off only to bring him back at the end? That was completely idiotic c) if you know quite a bit of X-Men you would also know that when Xavier died in the books, the whole universe was affected and turned to shit. Here, all we got were a few sad X-Men.
3. Out of courtesy to anyone who hasn't seen the film yet who's reading this thread, but I guess it has been a few years. Plus if me spoiling the movie will keep them away from it, then I guess I'll just have to stop using spoiler tags.

You do bring up good points though. They squandered a ton of meaningful characters and they did it in terrible ways... Ugh.

True, Deadpool needs his mask, and Gambit needs the black eyes with red pupils.

[TooLateF0rRoses]

the only reason they arent putting deadpool's mask on is to show ryan's sexy face.... bughhh haha

[mht]

trailer looks fucking horrendous, that adaptation of Deadpool is it? That is so fucking weak.

[mht]

just think in about 10 to 15 years we can hopefully get a brain child like Chris Nolan to come in and save/re-do the X-Men series for the real fans out there.

I'm sure they didn't please the diehards the way Nolan's Batman films have pleased that characters diehards, but the first two X-Men were very solid films. It wasn't until Singer left the franchise that things got bad.

I'm a HUGE Deadpool fan. He's one of my all time favorite characters. I have the majority of all of his series (only missing select issues which I am hunting), so I know his back story pretty well, haha.

All that aside, I think Ryan Reynolds is perfect for Deadpool. He just needs A) the correct attire and B) scarred skin. If he doesn't have that, I'll be very pissed.

[mht]

And here I was about to invest money/time to get a serious Deadpool vs Cable tattoo piece on my thigh, but because of this shit movie I'm second guessing it.

I just really don't want to put up with the kids that have no clue and/or relate it to this movie because they (still have no clue and only watched/learned from Hugh Jackman as Wolverine and Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool)

[mht]

Cable is a hard fucking mosh though, in the comic books and the cartoon growing up, him and bishop fucking brought the fight hard. Serious business from them two.

Cable is a super mutant genetically created with Cyclops and a clone of Jean Grey to kill Apocalypse.

so br00tal

Who would be your pick to play Cable?

[mht]

My pick to play any superhero is and always will be: James Franco

I think Marvel should just hire him to play in all their shit movies they are trying to churn out. I mean really, it will save them time from having to re-do the Hulk every 5 years because it keeps flopping to horrendous shit to what their market goal plan actually is for it.

but seriously for Cable,

if Jean Reno bulked up a little bit. I would be down for the hardest mosh.

Ohhh not a bad choice. Definitely not James Franco though...he's not man enough for that role.

[mht]

James Franco is man enough for every role


he stapled a Trilogy with the line "So Good"

I haven't seen the third Spiderman.

lol you really should. movie brings the lols. the fucking dude from wings/sideways trying to play a villain as he brings the most boring/blandest character in the history of marvel films.

[buysoap]

I just bought Freaks and Geeks and have been re-living the old days of Franco as a burn out. And that one epic episode where he becomes a punk? So good.

You mean the sandman? hahah.

I actually hated the Spiderman trilogy. To me, it was bad CGI, forced dialogue delivery <cough Kirsten Dunst cough> and just a bad script.

I've been reading Ultimate Spiderman and I love the way it's written...pretty much redeemed spiderman for me again.

I agree that James Franco is the man, I just don't think he could be cable.

What about Mickey Rourke for cable or is he too old?

[headclub]

I'm a HUGE Deadpool fan. He's one of my all time favorite characters. I have the majority of all of his series (only missing select issues which I am hunting), so I know his back story pretty well, haha.

All that aside, I think Ryan Reynolds is perfect for Deadpool. He just needs A) the correct attire and B) scarred skin. If he doesn't have that, I'll be very pissed.


and he needs a computer nerd friend...speaking of which i wonder who in the future they'll get to play weasel.

So the trailer is pretty sick. Everything looks like it's in line for a good film.

Jackman on Taylor Kitsch as Gambit: "I can say it. He's sexy, right? He's a little bit like a junior Wolverine in a way. He's a little bit of a wise guy. He's an outsider. He's got some issues himself. He's mischievous. He's cheeky. He's a bit of a badass. We have a really great fight sequence. Physically that guy is an animal. He was chucking himself around on the concrete. He has that passion that I remember having when I first did Wolverine. There was no way a stunt double was doing anything for him."

Great, great show.
