Wolverine

[Brodie]

According to Wizard, a Wolverine movie IS in the works. David Benoiff, who wrote TROY, is writing the script. It's slated to come out rapid fire after X3.

[Weapon X]

We were talking about this in art class today,it was pretty short my friend Ryan said "there making a Wolverine movie" and then James said "why?"

[Anarky]

Cool, I hope that it's going to be more like that "Coyotes"-storyline we got to read a while ago.

Or something explaining the rivalry Logan/Creed (I never got that myself either)

[cqb101]

Meh. We see enough of him in the movies, IMO.


Though, it is a better idea than the magneto movie.

[Peanut]

Meh. We see enough of him in the movies, IMO.

Agreed. Wolverine is cool and all, but does he really need his own movie to go along with X1 to 3?

[Brodie]

Considering how complex a character he is...

I figure that if they do a Wolverine movie it'll be more action and less romance, which is what I hated about X1 and X2.

Wolverine is the best there is at what he does, and what he does ain't nice. I wanna see more.

[cqb101]

I'd love to see Omega Red in this movie.

[Jamezer]

i dont supose they will show the short-live hulk aliiance, because of how the portrayed the hulk in his movie

[Duke]

I'd love to see Omega Red in this movie.Agreed. Omega Red is one of my favorite villians in the marvel universe.

Aaaaand we have a title and release date!

http://blog.newsarama.com/2007/10/18/wolverine-gets-a-title-and-an-opening-date/

Variety reports that 20th Century Fox has chosen May 1, 2009 — the familiar, and profitable, first official weekend of summer — to release X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

That’s right, the spin-off now has a confirmed title.

Wolverine, starring Hugh Jackman and directed by Gavin Hood, will begin shooting later this year in Australia before moving to New Zealand and then to New Orleans. The trade paper notes that the latter location could mean the inclusion of Gambit in the storyline which, as the title suggests, deals with Wolverine’s early years.

According to Variety, Liev Schrieber is reportedly in final talks to play the younger version of William Stryker, portrayed in X2 by Brian Cox.

Wolverine is expected to feature many mutants, some new to the movie franchise and some from the previous three installments.

How can Gambit be in a prequel?? This is set in Wolverine’s past…Gambit would have to be a little kid…perhaps a small cameo of a little kid thief trying to steal from Logan?

[Jester]

Indeed, especially since they are bringing in a younger Stryker,(the President from "Manchurian Candidate?) unless the movieverse Gambit is geriatric by the X-movies, he'd have to be a kid in XO:W. And by the sounds of that title, one wonders if we'll see all of the X-men's origins.

[CudleyCowlick]

Well, I'm a big wolvie fan... I like him almost as much as TMNT, so I'm psyched. I heard rumors about this around the time of X-Men 2 and I've been looking forward to it. Still pissed after all these years that they couldn't get Glen Danzig to play the canucklehead, but oh well, just cuz Danzig is the perfect candidate physically, I doubt he's a very good actor. :lol:

I read (I think in Wizard, but it could have been somewhere else) that we can expect an entire Wolvie trilogy.

[Zachatello00]

2009. Rapid fire indeed. lol

[Jester]

Yeah, I re-read the first post a snickered too.

[Raph's Girl]

And by the sounds of that title, one wonders if we'll see all of the X-men's origins.

Well I know that other than Wolverine there's also the Magneto movie in the works....there was a rumoured Storm film for a while but only Wolverine and Magneto are official.

[odupianist]

How can Gambit be in a prequel?? This is set in Wolverine’s past…Gambit would have to be a little kid…perhaps a small cameo of a little kid thief trying to steal from Logan?

The same way Bobby Drake can be a kid in X2 and X3 when he's actually one of the founding members in the comics. Just the movie universe is all.

[KROW]

Yeah, Gambit'd have to be a kid for it to work well. I'm predicting we might have a Wolverine/Gambit relationship like Lone Wolf and Cub. It could work, since the whole Wolvie/Rogue thing. I'm still waiting for Jubilee, frankly.

[Raph's Girl]

I'm still waiting for Jubilee, frankly.

Waiting for her??? But she was in all 3 movies... played by 2 different actresses.

[Dr. Doom]

She's right.

[ZariusTwo]

Can anyone list ONE memorable thing Gambit has ever done besides try and shag Rouge or led Sinister's Marauders into Morlock tunnels so they can slaughter them?

[Time Mistress]

Can anyone list ONE memorable thing Gambit has ever done besides try and shag Rouge or led Sinister's Marauders into Morlock tunnels so they can slaughter them?

Saved Storm from Nanny and the Orphan Maker

Proved to the X-Men he wasn't the Onslaught traitor Bishop suspected

Led the X-Men in Claremont's second run

Saved the world from aliens in X-Treme X-Men and ended up depowered as a result

Was listed as Marvel's third most popular character in a reader poll behind Wolvie & Spidey in the mid-90's

Claremont and Nicieza know how to write Gambit. I don't trust anyone else to though, not even Lobdell who I loved. He's not my favorite X-Men, but I like the character mainly due to the 90s cartoon and think he's been mistreated by too many writers.

As for the Wolverine movie - May 1, 2008! I CAN'T WAIT!

[raphael_is_cool]

I thought John Layman's run was good. Took a nice, fun and uncomplicated approach to the character. Chuck Austen's little UXM two-parter was a refreshing change too.

Gambit works if done in a certain way. He was of a period of style over substance and, while that isn't always a bad thing, a lot more could be done with him. Recently he's been made into a joke and it doesn't help that a lot of comic writers hate him.

[comixfan]

I really hope Gambit's in this movie. They've passed on too many opportunities not to have him in an "X-Men" film.

The title itself is pretty sweet: X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I wonder if there'll be more after this and Magneto. Speaking of Magneto, did they ever announce who would be the director for that film?

[KROW]

Waiting for her??? But she was in all 3 movies... played by 2 different actresses.

I'm still waiting for her, like I waited for Kitty until X2 and Beast until X3. I want a full-fledged Jubilee, not just some chick running through the mansion.

[Dr. Doom]

Can anyone list ONE memorable thing Gambit has ever done besides try and shag Rouge or led Sinister's Marauders into Morlock tunnels so they can slaughter them?

Uh, be awesome? Go to hell.

[ZariusTwo]

Uh, be awesome? Go to hell.

Is there a level LOWER than here?

[Jo Dawn]

Well, not to fuel the fire, as per the Gambit thing... I used to really like him (my brother still does) but I felt his constant 'I love you Rogue, but now I dont but now I do' got tired quickly. So, really, I dont care if he's in it or not.

As for the movie... :/ The only incarnation I ever like Wolverine in was the movies (and I was about done with him then, too), so I'm not all that hyped about a WHOLE Wolvie movie.

[Raph's Girl]

Kodi Smit-McPhee has been cast as a young Logan in the upcoming Wolverine movie. Kodi is 11 years old. Now...who's playing Rose?!

I'm not a big Deadpool fan, but Reynolds would be gold for that role.

[Mr._Mutant_Man]

Well...um...Bishop picked a fight with him because he thought he was the X-Men traitor.

Other than that...not much. Gambit's one of my least favorite X-Men. I even think Shatterstar's cooler, because he at least has a sword.

[Dr. Doom]

Nothing created by Rob Liefeld is cooler than anything else ever.

[Raph's Girl]

Deadpool?! Frak! He needs his own movie period!! Oh man... Deadpool in the Wolverine movie. How many Golden Girls references will this movie have now??

Wolverine is cool and all but Deadpool just reeks of awesomeness!! Yay!! Deadpool on the big screen!!! :D

Now they just need a Hydra agent named Bob....:lol:

[Mr._Mutant_Man]

Nothing created by Rob Liefeld is cooler than anything else ever.

I really don't get all the Liefeld hate. Sure his artistic talent...leaves much to be desired, but I'm entertained by his bad art in the same way bad movies are entertaining, so IMO his comics are still worthwhile.

IMO there are people in comics who are more deserving of criticism, like Todd McFarlane for being an egomaniac who goes on and on in interviews about how he created a character better than Superman or Batman even though Spawn really was just a fad of the 90's.

[cqb101]

I really don't get all the Liefeld hate. Sure his artistic talent...leaves much to be desired, but I'm entertained by his bad art in the same way bad movies are entertaining, so IMO his comics are still worthwhile.

It's not just that his art is bad. It's that coupled with the fact that he tends to swipe other peoples art.

[Brodie]

And he thinks he's hot ****...Telling Jim Lee that he was crazy when Lee told him to ditch the Cap cover where he had Liefield tits. "No, you're wrong, I'm -awesome-."

[Mr._Mutant_Man]

It's not just that his art is bad. It's that coupled with the fact that he tends to swipe other peoples art.

Never heard that one before. I do know he has some funny ideas about anatomy, and everyone always looks like they are angry and on steroids in his art.

Still, I'm kinda neutral on the guy, because there are much bigger jerks in comics, and I still think Cable is cool. :)

[odupianist]

I have a feeling if they cast Deadpool right, he's going to steal the show so to speak

How on Earth did I only just find out about this movie now?

I've got mixed feelings on Deadpool as well as how this will turn out.....

[Mr._Mutant_Man]

Wow, if someone has trouble seeing that Liefeld has trouble with anatomy they need only to compare his art to George Perez's on that one page.

[AquaParade]

I've never read as single Deadpool comic, yet I've always thought he seemed like an awesome character...i know a liiiiiitle about him. To see him in this moviw would make me so excited.

[odupianist]

I only know of Deadpool from Ultimate Alliance really.

Do yourself a favor and read some of his early miniseries and ongoing rom the 90's. Stay away from Cable and Deadpool, it's not nearly as good.

[Mr._Mutant_Man]

I only know of Deadpool from Ultimate Alliance really.

He's fun to use in X-Men Legends II, and he has a cool looking Heroclix figure, for those that play that game:

[Raph's Girl]

First pics are up from the set of X-Men Origins Wolverine! They're um..building a big house in New Zealand.

Im thinking that this will be the Howlett Mansion where Logan grew up. Looks like the right size and location if ya read the Wolverine Origin micro series.

Never knew New Zealand could look so much like Alberta, Canada... :lol:

Never knew New Zealand could look so much like Alberta, Canada... :lol:

Hell, New Zealand can look like anything these days. Basically, it's getting to be the last bastion of landscaping cinema. Most other locations are gunked with housing developments or various forms of pollution, not to mention some lands won't even allow filmmakers to use their territory for movies (not saying it's a horrible thing, but just throwing it in as a condition).

AICN EXCLUSIVE! Want To Know Who’s Making A Special Appearance In WOLVERINE?!

Hey, everyone. “Moriarty” here.

Sounds to me like Marvel is going to pack this one with all sorts of geeky Easter eggs if all of these rumors are true. The Blob would be a lot of fun to see in one of these, and there’s another cameo, one that we can officially confirm now, that sounds to me like a set-up for a possible spin-off.

Anyone up for a little DEADPOOL?

How about if Ryan Reynolds is playing him?

This one’s supposed to be a secret, but cat’s out of the bag now, Marvel. And I have to say... I think it sounds like fun. I know this has been a character you guys have been developing for years now (hell, I think I pitched a DEADPOOL film back in 2001), and Reynolds is absolutely the right guy for the job.


Hell. Yes.

Taylor Kitsch is Gambit in Wolverine!
Source: Chaos Bringer
February 19, 2008


Scooper 'Chaos Bringer' has revealed on Superhero Hype!'s message boards that "Friday Night Lights" star Taylor Kitsch will play Gambit (AKA Remy LeBeau) in director Gavin Hood's X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Kitsch has signed a three-picture deal.

He'll be joining Hugh Jackman (Wolverine), Liev Schreiber (Sabretooth), Danny Huston (William Stryker) and Lynn Collins (Silver Fox) in the 20th Century Fox release, opening May 1, 2009.

Leading up to the events of X-Men, "Wolverine" tells the story of Wolverine's epically violent and romantic past, his complex relationship with Victor Creed, and the ominous Weapon X program. Along the way, Wolverine encounters many mutants, both familiar and new, including surprise appearances by several legends of the X-Men universe.

In related news, we've posted a hi-res version of the new Wolverine photo here! Scooper 'Darthjul' also tells us that "Wolverine" will be shooting in Glebe Point Park, Sydney on February 29.


Go to the link to see a picture of him. Damn good casting, IMO.

[Raph's Girl]

Beat me to it by a min! *lol*

Taylor is 27! So much for Gambit being a little kid....*sighs* This film is set in the past so it means he's old enough to be Rogue's dad now. :P

And they're making this a Trillogy now??? Or will he be in the Young X-Men film as well? :P

[Dr. Doom]

Now if we can just get Doom in this movie with Gambit and Deadpool, that's my 3 favorite marvel characters all in one film.

I'm not sure how I feel about Taylor appearance-wise, I think Josh Holloway looked the part much better. But as always, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

[Mr._Mutant_Man]

I said in the cartoon thread that I'm not a big Gambit fan, but it'll actually be cool to see him in this movie. Since it's about Wolverine and not the X-Men as a whole, this time around I don't have to worry about Gambit possibly hogging the screen time of more interesting X-Men.

[Dr. Doom]

You never have to worry about that, because he's way more interesting than everyone else.

[Mr._Mutant_Man]

You never have to worry about that, because he's way more interesting than everyone else.

I don't get the love for Gambit. He's visually not that interesting compared to other X-Men (Beast and Nightcrawler on the other hand are). He's for the most part the typical "bad boy" kind of character it seems.

[Jo Dawn]

This film is set in the past so it means he's old enough to be Rogue's dad now. :P



MAYBE HE IS!!!

Monaghan is Beak in Wolverine
Source: Just Jared
February 21, 2008


Just Jared reports that former "Lost" star Dominic Monaghan will play Barnell Bohusk (AKA Beak) in 20th Century Fox's X-Men: Wolverine. Here's a description of the character:

Beak was a mutant whose bones were light and hollow. His arms had begun to grow feathers, which when fully formed, may have allowed him to fly. He could at the mean time glide and fly for short distances with great effort. Beak also had enhanced eyesight along with talons on his hands and feet. Even though Beak had bird-like qualities, it was extremely difficult for him to fly.

You can read more about Beak here!

He'll be joining 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) in the Gavin Hood-directed pic, opening May 1, 2009.

[Raph's Girl]

WTF?! Beak is in this too?! Are they gonna cast Rahne next cuz this is starting to sound like an X-Force movie. :P

[Mr._Mutant_Man]

It's cool that Merry/Charlie is going to be in Wolverine. :)

But Beak? When the hell did he become such a popular character? Is the fish kid going to be in this one too?

[Jo Dawn]

I was confused because I read Monaghan was playing Blackwing... I haven't read in years, so I didn't realize that's Beak's... other alias?

[Raph's Girl]

I was confused because I read Monaghan was playing Blackwing... I haven't read in years, so I didn't realize that's Beak's... other alias?

Blackwing is his current name monicker. He lost his powers on M Day and is now a member of the New Warriors (a non-registered hero group that also consists of Jubilee and Blackwing's wife, Angel). He now wears a suit to fly (and can also shoot energy blasts).

5 Beak's and Angel's 6 kids lost their powers on M Day too (Tito is the only one to retain his powers)

[Raph's Girl]

Daniel Henney has been cast as Agent Zero (Maverick). Now the only member of Team X not cast is Mastodon.

http://www.comicscontinuum.com/stories/0802/22/index.htm

Actor Kevin Durand has been cast as The Blob!

Meanwhile, Barnell is NOT I repeat NOT the same character as in the comics. Just somebody with a similar name. This is not Beak/Blackwing.

Barnell, a former military ally of Logan with the power to harness energy and electricity.

Let me have my happy fantasy. I know we never saw it. I'm a stickler for details. I just prefer to think he did.

...Unless they wanna bring Emma in X4 (if there ever is one) and then he can come back. Cause she made him kinda cool.

It's the X-Men....they don't die...they just take a break for a while then seemingly return without any explination given (like Cable) or they're absorbed into the body of another person (IE Scott and Apocalypse) or something else (Jean Grey). Shoot Xavier came back to life in the end of X-Men 3! :P Scott will show up again in X4 or Young X-Men or even the proposed Emma Frost movie.

As Syrin said when Scott told her of her dad's death "He's not dead! He'll be back! You people always come back!"

[ZariusTwo]

The movie's interpretation of Scott was that of an incompetent emo tit, so I doubt they'd bring him back, he wasnt relevant enough.

[ZariusTwo]

Marvel are waiting until they have the rights for an X-Men movie to basicly reboot the whole thing, but "Wolverine" will act as a prequel to that reboot, whilst also serving as a "prequel" that can loosely fit into the existing films.

[Brodie]

Why the **** would they want to reboot it? X-Men 1 and 2 were amazing, and X-Men 1 paved the way for Spider-Man....Its not necessary to reboot it.

It looks pretty good. I have yet to see young Cyclops but Emma, Storm, and Gambit are easily recognized in the trailer. Yes...that's right... Storm is in this. She looks to be about 8.

I made a screen shot of Storm's appearance:

Taylor Kitsch is perfect as Gambit.

[Mecha Cow]

All the cameos are getting a bit ridiculous, but this movie looks alright none the less. If nothing else it should be better than X3. I wonder how they're going to explain Sabretooth's radically different portrayal in X1, assuming they're even going to bother explaining it at all.

[Peanut]

I wonder how they're going to explain Sabretooth's radically different portrayal in X1, assuming they're even going to bother explaining it at all.

Longer hair and not shaving? Seems like that's the big thing. Or you could always go original comic book Beast route, he just went away and came back blue and furry.

Anyways, this looks alright.

[Mecha Cow]

I meant portrayal in terms of personality. In X1 Sabretooth was more of a dumb brute and didn't seem to know Wolverine or vice versa.

[Peanut]

Maybe he's just stupid like you!

BURN!!!!!!!!!

My IQ doesn't matter; I'm hot.

[Brodie]

I meant portrayal in terms of personality. In X1 Sabretooth was more of a dumb brute and didn't seem to know Wolverine or vice versa.

Well, Wolverine's healing factor heals over his memories, so thats why he wouldn't recognize Sabertooth. And There is some sort of clue that they could use in X1 that Sabertooth does remember Wolvie, the scene where he takes the dogtags and keeps them. Its small, yeah, but it could be -there- if they decide to kee the movies connected.

[Raph's Girl]

In case you haven't seen the trailers that have aired on Sunday and Monday (with another one airing tonight). They reveal major things Namely the whole Logan and Sabertooth being brothers thing that was hinted about in the book Wolverine: Origin. Sabertooth is Dog Logan!

I'm pleasantly surprised that they look to be using so much of Origin for the movie. I figured since a lotta people had mixed feelings about the book they weren't gonna bother with it for the flick. Nice to see they're at least using some of it.

[Raph's Girl]

Well the 3rd promo is up aaand.... WTF?! Cyclops is part of Logan's Weopon X team?! :ohwell:

Cyclops is part of Logan's Weopon X team?!

Well, not necessarily,
that could just be them mixing footage.
Hopefully.

[Barkworm]

Am I the only one who thinks that this looks f*cking lame? I mean, seriously, the dialogue in all those clips is so inredibly cheesy, it hurts.

[Tabularasa]

I think there's going to be good things about this film (Logan/Sabretooth fight, Gambit in action) and some really bad things (Too many mutant cameos, Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, Will I Am, Beak, Cyclops, etc.) But really this film just needs to be good in order to get The Last Stand out of our minds.

[The Stryker]

Why is Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool a bad thing?

[Jester]

I agree. I like Ryan Reynolds, I think he'd make a great "Merc with a Mouth."

[Warhorse]

I was not going to bother to see this movie. The last one wasn't all that great. But then I saw clips of Liev Schreiber in it, and he's always been in my top ten favorite actors list, so I think I might as well go see it. Be interesting to see him pull off Sabretooth.

Why is Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool a bad thing?

I'm wondering that, too. That's near-perfect casting. That's the one thing that has me really excited for this flick.

I mean, hell, he pretty much played Deadpool: Vampire Hunter in Blade 3.

Apparently, this is what happens when you get some Ryan Reynolds in your Deadpool.

This is the toy from the Wolverine Origins toyline. So, this is based off of something from the movie. Not entirely sure why he has pikes coming from his ****ing hands....Wheres the costume?!

Hasbro is really good at toys....../sarcasm

[CudleyCowlick]

Oh fer crissakes I hope that's not what Deadpool looks like in the movie, at any point. Are those purple pants? That's freakin' hot...../also sarcasm

[Jester]

Marvel super-beings have a long history of purple pants....:P

[Brodie]

Pretty sure they're maroon.

[The Stryker]

How is that Reynolds fault?

[cqb101]

How is that Reynolds fault?


Yea....? The design of the character has nothing to do with the actor playing him.

[Brodie]

I didn't mean to come off as Reynolds' fault, because I'm probably the firmest advacator for him to be in, well, anything.

I meant it as this being the product of toy designers and film companies not knowing what to do when they have someone playing a character, but still wanting to (poorly) pander to the comic book fans.

"He's got hair and a face in the movie...Whatta we do? No mask!"
"MAKE HIM LOOK LIKE BARAKKA!@!@1111!!!"
"STOP DIGGIN', YOU HIT GOLD!"

I'd much rather get a Ryan Reynolds action figure. And I got shisted by that already when they made a Wesley Snipes action figure (more than one). No one -wants- snipes, everyone wants a (sex) Reynolds figure.

[Raph's Girl]

[Peanut]

That's f*cking terrible. Why even call him Deadpool? Christ.

[TristanHuwJones]

I am a crazy-big fan of Deadpool, and I am holding off judgement until I've seen why he is the way he is in this film. They're still talking spin-off movie, and THAT doesn't look like something that could carry a spin-off. Until I know the whole story, that's all I'm saying...

[Ninjinister]

The Merc With a Mouth has no mouth?

[Jester]

So Deadpool is now Mimic? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimic_(comics))
EDIT: Heck this image from his Wiki almost makes it look like the clip:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/e/e5/Exiles_45_Cover.jpg/250px-Exiles_45_Cover.jpg

And that doesn't at all look like Reynolds.

[TristanHuwJones]

The Merc With a Mouth has no mouth?

There's the thing, right? How do you have a spin-off movie with Ryan Reynolds when his mouth is stitched shut?

[TristanHuwJones]

Here's something interesting...

http://splashpage.mtv.com/2009/03/20/x-men-origins-wolverine-star-ryan-reynolds-says-his-role-is-the-creature-that-becomes-deadpool-later-on/

Reynolds says his role as Wade Wilson evolves into "the creature that becomes Deadpool later on".

[Ninjinister]

Y'know, like you Tristan, I am waiting to see the film for the final verdict, but this is nuts. He has been promoted as being Deadpool since Reynolds was announced in the role. Not to mention the action figures and likely other merchandise labeling him as such. It's kind of a cocktease. Then... then we get this weird monstrosity that doesn't look like a scarred insane madman... but instead Baraka the tribal clown with optic blast action. And the fact that he's well known as being an insane, fourth-wall breaking snarky SOB... and he has no mouth? o.O That's the entire opposite of the character. The worst any of the other characters looks to have been monkeyed with, is a short Sabretooth.

[TristanHuwJones]

Could be that he doesn't really have a name as whatever that Baraka style version of him is. If Reynolds is half the fan he claims to be (which I don't doubt, he's been trying to get Deadpool happening for a LONG time now), then I don't think he'd do the character the injustice everyone seems to be freaking out about. I have a feeling that he'll eventually become the Deadpool we all know and love, but they're going to give him a drastically different origin.

So long as we get the Deadpool character the way he should be at one point, I really don't give that much of a damn how he gets there. I've always got my comics and the movies have always taken liberties with origins, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but I always find it interesting to see how they go about it.
