[RaphAndDonnie]

I'm excited to hear about this. It's always great to see X-Men movies based on the comics, which have been popping up quite a bit lately.

[TigerClaw]

I think what is going to happen is, In Days of Future Past, Wolverine will change the past, Go back to the future only to find out its been taking over by Apocalypse. I can see them adapting the Age of Apocalypse story in the next film.

Which means Wolverine will have to back in time again and prevent an assassination of some sort. I bet its Prof X since Age of Apocalypse dealt with the idea of Prof X being killed in the past which created an alternate timeline.

[Andrew NDB]

That's definitely the most logical theory -- where Days of Future Past ends, the Age of Apocalypse is (somehow) left in its wake. Though I wonder if two back-to-back time travel/alternate timeline/alternate future films is really the best thing to do. Could be cool, though.

Rather like with Days of Future Past, however, I just don't give Bryan Singer any credit to either give us a proper Apocalypse or a proper Age of Apocalypse movie. He just doesn't respect comic books enough to go "big" enough with these kinds of things... he's proven it time and time again and wears it on his sleeve.

[That Matt Guy]

About time they do a villain other than Magneto. Christopher Judge should play Apocalypse.

[Andrew NDB]

Christopher Judge should play Apocalypse.

That's about the most perfect damn casting I've ever heard.

[Michelangelo]

That's about the most perfect damn casting I've ever heard.

I second that.

[sdp]

Well I guess this is also a way to keep the original cast for another movie. After all they can't just make another X-Men movie without the "newer" cast because it's like admitting that was a mistake, which it also wasn't and the old cast can't keep making these movies forever, this is a way to give them another "last hoorah" before they can continue to move on with the "new cast".

I'm actually more excited with what Fox is doing with X-Men than Disney with the MAU.

[CyberCubed]

Just think about this for a second. If most if the same cast return for this movie it'll have been 16 years since the X-men movie universe began

16 years. I was still in middle school when the first X-men movie came out. I can't believe the franchise is still going without a reboot.

[Raph's Girl]

Christopher Judge should play Apocalypse.

YES!! I can totally see that!!

[Jester]

I am Apoca-Teal'c!

[blindturtle02]

Yay! Finally! Apocalypse on the big screen! I just hope he's not going to be portrayed as some cloud. They should try to go with his battle armor look.

Christopher Judge is a great choice for Apocalypse. He's certainly got the voice for the part and I'm guessing he has the look as well. I second the comment pertaining to Magneto. Love him as a villain and all but after pretty much nothing but Magneto for several x-men movies, can't wait to see Apocalypse. Hoping Sinister isn't too far behind or maybe he'll show up in the film as well. God I wish these X-men comics would get audio adaptations some day as I'd really like to experience this story arc as well as many others.

[Andrew NDB]

It's a little bit telling when we're now 8 X-Men movies into things and only just now getting a "Big" villain other than Magneto. Bryan Singer thinks too small... always has, always will, and doesn't care about the comics. Doesn't respect them. He's proven and shown this over and over again.

But at least the X-Men movies' continuity is pretty intact and easy to understand:

http://menagerieofminds.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/scribbles.jpg

[Andrew NDB]

And who wants to bet the "Apocalypse" in the Bryan Singer-verse will just end up being some normal-ish guy with a leather jacket and maybe some facial tattoos?

[CyberCubed]

I'm still waiting for Cyclops to return .

I have to disagree, he understands the source material, and he HAS read the comics when making the first two movies.

[ZariusTwo]

And who wants to bet the "Apocalypse" in the Bryan Singer-verse will just end up being some normal-ish guy with a leather jacket and maybe some facial tattoos?

I'd settle for that. His actual comics look would look incredibly stupid if realized fully on screen. One of those designs that just works better on a panel than a picture.

Looking forward to this and Days of Future Past. X-Movies, with about two exceptions, rarely are out of step.

[Andrew NDB]

I have to disagree, he understands the source material, and he HAS read the comics when making the first two movies.

Nope. The people that write the story/screenplay for these do, while he's the jackal in the background telling everyone to not bring any comic books on set, and completely forget about comics. And that X-Men costumes are stupid.

[Jester]

And that X-Men costumes are stupid.
But they kinda are...

lol... so apparently Magneto is STILL the villain:

[FlawedCoil82]

But they kinda are...

The X-Men's costumes are the biggest reason I can not stand the title anymore. I love the 90's costumes they had. Once the comics and movies got rid of those, I lost all interest. Spider-Man shouldn't be allowed to have a costume either. He should just wear a shirt with a spider on the front. Captain America can wear a flag on his shirt, etc. The beautifully flawless and eye catching designs of Jim Lee's X-Men uniforms is what made me pick up my first comic book. I loathe when Marvel changes their costumes every 6 months. Not one costume they have changed has "improved" the looks of any of the characters. They just keep delivering insanely boring, dull costumes more and more inferior than the last.

I 100% agree with this. Part f the fun of the X-men was their awesome colourful suits, and I also love Jim Lee era X-men. I mean ffs everyone wants to see Wolverine with the mask, not some boring Leather crud. Not liking the looks of the new DOFP suits either:x

[blindturtle02]

lol... so apparently Magneto is STILL the villain:
http://www.aintitcool.com/node/65379
Aw jeez! Seriously? Apocalypse is going to use a Magneto meatsuit the way demonic forces are portrayed on Supernatural and other TV shows in order to save a buck? I can see Magneto and Prof X teaming up to stop him but this? Naaah! Nah they're not really going to do this. Why, this is simply an early April Fools' prank! Yes, yes that's what it is. hahahahahaha! They wouldn't let Magneto hog the big screen yet again, would they? He's one of my favorite X-Men villains but c'mon, Fox. Just no.

[CyberCubed]

I wonder what they'll do if the actor who plays Magento passes away by 2016. I'm pretty sure he's 80 something.

[Jester]

We sure it's THAT Magneto, Cubed. Could be either Michael Fassbender OR Sir Ian McKellen.

[NinjaPug]

It's Fassbender. Apocalypse is set in the First Class timeline according to the rumor mill.

[CyberCubed]

Still I'm sure "old Magneto" would not be forgotten unless the actor passes away.

As said, the X-men movie franchise will have been running for 16 years by the time this movie hits. It's really hard to believe and its obviously the longest running superhero movie universe in existence.

[sdp]

DofP is a way to get the star power of the original actors and instead of ******** on the new actors it's instead passing the torch.

[CyberCubed]

With Rogue cut from Days of Future past I wonder if she'll return in Apocalypse.

Pretty lame of Singer to promote Rogue in the trailer and at Comiccon and then cut her out of the movie.

[TheCanadiandrome]

I wonder what they'll do if the actor who plays Magento passes away by 2016. I'm pretty sure he's 80 something.

Lol u think that he'll just drop dead by then? Too funny:lol:


Any ways, I can't wait for Days of Future Past, it's on "my want to go see" list next year, and this will be on my 2016 list definitely

[NinjaPug]

Sophie Turner (Sansa in GoT) cast as Jean Grey.

Tye Sheridan and Alexandra Shipp cast as Cyclops and Storm. I've never heard of either of them.

The only thing I've seen Alexandra in was the 2nd Chipmunks movie... but she had the lead role in the Aaliyah movie. Not familiar with Tye's work.

Here's some exciting casting news to wind down your Tuesday evening with. Bryan Singer has announced via Instagram that Kodi Smit-McPhee has joined the already very impressive cast of X-Men: Apocalypse as a younger version of fan-favourite mutant teleporter, Nightcrawler. The character was last seen in the second X-Men movie played by Alan Cumming, and we all wondered if we'd every see the "Fuzzy Elf" return to the franchise. Smit-McPhee was most recently seen in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, but his best performance was arguably in the bleak (but brilliant) adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's The Road.

Nightcrawler is the latest X-men to join the Age of Apocolypse Cast.

But YAY!!! Nightcrawler returneth!! :D

[TigerClaw]

I wonder if the new film will explain his origin? In the comics, He was the son of Mystique and Azazel, But given that the movie version of Azazel is dead, Based on what happened in Days of Future Past, They are going to have to go a different route for his origin, Perhaps Mystique can still be the mother, But had a different father?

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Nah, Mystique as the mother just doesn't pan out, really (though on the other hand, it's clear that no one at Fox gives a damn about continuity anymore).

I'd rather the father be Azazel and the mother be... anyone else, really.

[Autbot_Benz]

well Mystique could have had Nightcrawler in between the events of DOFP and Apocolypse. Maybe she didn't realize she was pregnant by Azezal.

[Redeemer]

I was really hoping to see Ian McKellen reprise his role. But I doubt it sense they are bringing young Xavier and Magneto on board.

[Autbot_Benz]

I think Old Magneto will be in the movie some stories are saying he is. Also Gambit might be in it too.

Jubilee has been cast

[NinjaPug]

Jubilee in the 80s? Should've used Dazzler.

[Luigiperps]

Or maybe they can make Mystique the father like she was originally going to be in the comics.

[TigerClaw]

Jubilee in the 80s? Should've used Dazzler.
Which is interesting because, Jubilee is more of the 90s, I remembered her from the X-Men 90s cartoon.

If Mystique had the baby while Magneto was in prison, the timing works out just fine for teenage Nightcrawler in the 80's. Ya'll make it sound difficult, but the setup is perfect.

[TigerClaw]

Even though it was hinted in the movie that, Quicksilver is Magneto's Son, But it was more of a nod then an actual thing for the movie.

But if Magneto knocked up Mystique, then it would make sense.

[chrisdude]

But if Magneto knocked up Mystique, then it would make sense.Why... do you think either of those things?

[TigerClaw]

Why... do you think either of those things?
Gotta explain why Nightcrawler is around, He was the son of Mystique.

[Andrew NDB]

Which is interesting because, Jubilee is more of the 90s, I remembered her from the X-Men 90s cartoon.

I remember her from X-Men 1, 2, and 3... in which she was a teenager. Which makes her appearance in the 1980s in Apocalypse pretty much bullsh*t.

First Class is the only X-Men movie worth a hoot. Knowing Singer, I wholly expect Apocalypse to be another very small movie, and Apocalypse himself to just be the actor in a leather jacket and maybe some face paint... not anything close to this:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/48/Apocmessiahwar1.png

[Autbot_Benz]

First class was horrible. X-men Days Of Future past is the best movie.

[Andrew NDB]

X-men Days Of Future past is the best movie.

It should have been. But Singer delivered a very small, very forgettable movie whose only highlight is the Quicksilver scene... which seems pretty disconnected from the rest of the movie (and why did they send him away afterward, exactly?).

I mean, we finally get the Sentinels, and apart from some brief fighting segments with unrecognizable Sentinels in the future bits, the 70s ones don't even do anything.

[NinjaPug]

Andrew dropping some truth in here.

Singer is terrible and turned one of the best comic storylines into a very forgettable movie. Vaughn's First Class is the only movie that really feels like an X-Men movie.

Get ready for more black leather costumes.

Also, apparently Angel is going to be in this movie. Amazing how Logan changing things in the 70s made it so Warren was born 2 decades earlier.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

I liked Days of Future Past, but only because I was relieved to finally get a look at Iceman, Kitty, Colossus, etc. in a new film (I'm terribly excited for the "Rogue Cut" for the same reason). I was getting really sick of Wolverine solos.

The sentinel fights in the future were kickass, but yeah, aside from Quicksilver the '70s were extremely unforgettable. Singer isn't a very good filmmaker, but at least he's shown that he cares about the franchise a little.

[TigerClaw]

I'm looking forward to X-Men: Apocalypse, With how Days of Future Past ended, with a new future timeline, We have to see how we got to that point with this sequel.

[Candy Kappa]

Hopefully with the time change, we can get an proper Nightcrawler, and not the embarrassment from X2, second worst movie in the franchise.

[CyberCubed]

X-2 the worst in the franchise? Are you being serious?

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/48/Apocmessiahwar1.png

First Class was the best film as well. The whole theme of conflicting morals and ideologies was always supposed to be in the films, but I feel that Vaughn did a much better job of showing it than just having actors mouth it. You could FEEL the conflict between Xavier and Erik much better...

First class was horrible. X-men Days Of Future past is the best movie.

Days of Future Past should have been better. I give it a 4 out of 5. Too much Mystique, no Rogue (not that Anna Paquin is any good in the role anyway), not enough of the original Sentinels, not enough of Dinklage, NOT ENOUGH BISHOP AND BLINK.

I think my main problem with it is that the future cast gets dropped for so long in the middle third of the movie. It needed more from them to truly be a "Days of Future Past" movie blending both casts.

I liked Days of Future Past, but only because I was relieved to finally get a look at Iceman, Kitty, Colossus, etc. in a new film (I'm terribly excited for the "Rogue Cut" for the same reason). I was getting really sick of Wolverine solos.

The sentinel fights in the future were kickass, but yeah, aside from Quicksilver the '70s were extremely unforgettable. Singer isn't a very good filmmaker, but at least he's shown that he cares about the franchise a little.

Are they ever even going to release the so-called "Rogue Cut?" I haven't heard anything on that in MONTHS.

Hopefully with the time change, we can get an proper Nightcrawler, and not the embarrassment from X2, worst movie in the franchise.

I'm gonna guess you're a huge Nightcrawler fan and that's why you didn't like X2? 'Cause it was the best of the trilogy... Brian Cox was an AMAZING villain.

[Andrew NDB]

I'll give the "Rogue Cut" a watch but I'm not overly optimistic that it'll dramatically change the film.

Singer isn't a very good filmmaker

The sad part is that's not true. He's made some excellent movies. The Usual Suspects? Awesome! A classic. Apt Pupil? Chilling! I even enjoyed Valkyrie though it didn't do all that well.

You have a comic book movie, though? He's not your man.

but at least he's shown that he cares about the franchise a little.

He cares about it as his franchise. And it's the last bastion he's got after dropping bomb after bomb (Valkyrie, Jack the Giant Killer)... X-Men is the only thing studios will trust him with anymore. If Jack the Giant Killer hadn't put him in director's prison, he wouldn't have needed to do X-Men: DofP and Matthew Vaughn would have tackled it. Properly.

How much do you guys want to bet the X-Men have to fight Magneto again at the end of Apocalypse? For about the 20th time now, in the movie series?

X-2 the worst in the franchise? Are you being serious?

I'd personally place it... as second worst. It's a very small movie with very small set pieces and really nothing on the page but Singer's own agenda.

My scale, from greatest to worst:

1. X-Men: First Class
2. The Wolverine
3. X-Men: DoFP
4. X-Men 3
5. X-Men 1
6. X-Men 2
7. X-Men Origins: Wolverine

But really there's a huge chasm in quality between First Class and all of the others.

Andrew dropping some truth in here.

Singer is terrible and turned one of the best comic storylines into a very forgettable movie. Vaughn's First Class is the only movie that really feels like an X-Men movie.

Agreed.

Get ready for more black leather costumes.

You know it. Whatever's currently in style at his underground little boy diddling club.

Also, apparently Angel is going to be in this movie. Amazing how Logan changing things in the 70s made it so Warren was born 2 decades earlier.

Jubilee too, as has already been mentioned. She was in all 3 first X-Men movies... now she's a teen again 20+ years earlier.

[sdp]

I love Jubilee so I'm happy she's finally an important character, with the way they've f-cked up the timelines with Beast/Emma Frost/First Class/etc it's far from the first inconsistency in the movies, besides didn't the last movie fix the inconsistencies with the alternate timelines or something? I remember reading about it but never saw the movie.

As far as the X-Men franchise it's been alright and I rather have Fox make movies than Marvel, they can't possibly handle more characters than they already do so it would just mean other worthy heroes of movies wouldn't get theirs made. My favorite movie is definitely First Class, heck I enjoyed it more than Avengers which I saw right after watching First Class. Now I've only ever seen each movie one time but here's my opinion on them. The first movie is pretty decent for being one of the first superhero origin movies that basically started it all. X2 was definitely an improvement and was a lot of fun. X3 I didn't think it was that bad in fact i enjoyed as I watched it. Origins was nothing special but far from the mess people make it out to be, if Origins is really that bad then so is every other X-Men movie. First Class I already mentioned was a lot of fun and only one I'd recommend to normal people. Sadly I didn't see DoFP even though I was hyped for it at first, I lost interest when it was on cinema, didn't care to watch The Wolverine at all. I'll defintiely re-watch and watch the movies that I'm missing when Fox is ready to reboot the franchise or I have a lot of time and get an X-Men kick in the coming years but I don't see that happening I'm all Marvel superhero'ed out for the moment, I can't even get myself hyped for Avengers 2 anymore or any Marvel movie. I would say superhero movies in general but I'd definitely watch some non-Marvel superhero movies and I'm ok with DC since we don't get those movies too often they still feel "fresh" at the moment.

[Andrew NDB]

My favorite movie is definitely First Class, heck I enjoyed it more than Avengers

I would say that First Class is a better movie than Avengers... but Avengers is still more fun.

If that makes sense.

[chrisdude]

X2 was just boring, in my opinion. I've never been able to wrap my head around everyone loving it. I don't find the story compelling, at all. They spend the whole movie searching, and trying to figure out the Cerebro plan, but it never feels exciting or interesting. Definitely my least favorite. I wouldn't even say I like the movie.

Days of Future Past and First Class are a couple of my favorite movies of all. I want X-Men: Apocalypse way more than Age of Ultron, or Batman v Superman.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Too much Mystique, no Rogue (not that Anna Paquin is any good in the role anyway), not enough of the original Sentinels, not enough of Dinklage, NOT ENOUGH BISHOP AND BLINK... Are they ever even going to release the so-called "Rogue Cut?" I haven't heard anything on that in MONTHS.


Blink was awesome. The CGI and choreography of her fight scenes were mesmerizing. I barely noticed Bishop. He got three seconds of screen time. :(

That's why I can't wait for the Rogue Cut! I'm really hoping for their to be a substantial addition to the future sequences. I also wanna see Quicksilver's li'l sister. It was a cute scene in the preview (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJpWvYlq7a0&t=0m22s). I think I read that Shawn Ashmore (Iceman) did some ADR for it back in January, so they're putting some halfway decent work into it I guess. I've heard through the rumor mill that John Ottman, the composer, is putting together an expanded (maybe even complete!) score for the film to release, so maybe they're waiting for both the extended cut and the score to be mastered fully so that they can be released at the same time. I'm expecting a summer release date.


I'd personally place it... as second worst. It's a very small movie with very small set pieces and really nothing on the page but Singer's own agenda.


I liked the ~20 minutes in X2 where Mystique, Magneto, and the X-Men team up to save Xavier. That was about it. Even X3 was better.

I really liked this little moment:

https://38.media.tumblr.com/3a8d4716e9771fbd919be0db8f0614db/tumblr_mta95nb0qE1rw7rajo1_500.gif

It showed Mystique was more than just a emotionless killing machine X1 had made her out to be.

I expect Apocalypse to be tolerable at best, honestly. There are characters being cast left and right, like Jubilee and Nightcrawler, but I sense that the movie will be little more than more Magneto, more Mystique, and more Wolverine. Same old same old. I'd love to see myself be wrong though.

[Candy Kappa]

I'm gonna guess you're a huge Nightcrawler fan and that's why you didn't like X2? 'Cause it was the best of the trilogy... Brian Cox was an AMAZING villain.

Nightcrawler and Stryker, both where badly adapted. And the movie's story wasn't all that either.

[Andrew NDB]

X2 was just boring, in my opinion. I've never been able to wrap my head around everyone loving it.

I agree. The only thing I can say I legitimately enjoyed was Kelly Hu... and without even knowing a thing about the character or ever having read more than a few X-Men comics at the shop, that they utterly butchered her and sold her short.

[Candy Kappa]

Oh yeah. "Lady Deathstrike' was in it. Well, in X2's defense, she was brainwashed throughout the movie, and was slightly more recognizable then Callisto in X3. Who looked nothing or acted nothing alike Callisto should be.

[chrisdude]

While we're on the topic of butchered characters, my favorite X-Man is Iceman...

[Sumac]

Never understood what people see in X-Men movies.
The only movie from franchise that I liked was First Class. It was genuinly interesting and entertaining. All others were a borefest with boring characters doing some boring stuff. And lots of CGI.

Singer has an uncanny talent to turn awesome plot and interesting characters into mildly interesting awkward soulless show. Since he is behind new X-Men movie, my expectations are low.

[CyberCubed]

The X-men movies introduced the world to the modern era of comic book movies and most of them are generally considered to be good excluding X3 and the first Wolverine film.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Actually, given a choice between Origins Wolverine and The Wolverine, I prefer the first.

The final third of The Wolverine is just so BAD and nonsensical... at least Origins maintained its feel and level of quality throughout the entire film, for better or worse.

[Andrew NDB]

Actually, given a choice between Origins Wolverine and The Wolverine, I prefer the first.

There's a few nuggets of goodness in Origins Wolverine, but it's just... so... cheesy.

The final third of The Wolverine is just so BAD and nonsensical... at least Origins maintained its feel and level of quality throughout the entire film, for better or worse.

There was definitely some crap there but it didn't entirely poison the movie for me.

I think Fox might as well replace Bryan Singer with this man. At this point, they're really just about the same...

http://cdn2.mommyish.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/B2KObMTCYAA27LB.png

If nothing else, it would make the X-Men movies more entertaining.

[CyberCubed]

Andrew have you ever enjoyed any comic book movie ever made?

Wait a sec... are you calling Ghost Rider a crap comic book movie!? :tlol:

Wait a sec... are you calling Ghost Rider a crap comic book movie!? :tlol:

I can't believe he has Batman and Batman Returns on that list. it must be nostalgia :lol:

[Andrew NDB]

I can't believe he has Batman and Batman Returns on that list. it must be nostalgia :lol:

They're solid movies that launched a whole era in Batman, and actually brought things a little closer to the very original Batman comics, and slew off the shackles of the 60s stuff.

You know what's not on my list? Even one of the Reeve Superman movies. Though part 2 wasn't *terrible*. And the first Fantastic 4 movie is sort of OK in a guilty pleasure way.

And oh... I completely forgot Road to Perdition. Awesome.

[Andrew NDB]

Wait a sec... are you calling Ghost Rider a crap comic book movie!? :tlol:

You know, I actually didn't *hate* the first one. I just didn't like it very much either... didn't seem like Ghost Rider was badass enough.

[Sumac]

Actually, given a choice between Origins Wolverine and The Wolverine, I prefer the first.
Haven't watched Wolverine, yet, but last time I watched W: Origins, I enjoyed it. It's B comic book movie in all its glory, but quite solid and failry entertaining, if you don't take it seriously.
At least it was a bit more fun, then X-Men trilogy.
Or maybe I just was in a good mood. :trolleye:

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

From what I've seen of it, it was more forgettable than terrible... but the character doesn't appeal to me, so that particular fight doesn't have my dog in it. I've found that my own tastes are quite eclectic and don't usually match up with other people, so I'm not gonna judge you...

Well, unless you said you liked Batman & Robin. I think I'm allowed to judge you if you call that a great CBM. :twink:

Sabretooth was amazing in Origins. Aside from some really great ninja/samurai fight sequences and the green lady (forget her name) BEFORE she got all wacky in the third act, The Wolverine had more forgettable villains...

Olivia Munn cast as Psylocke

[chrisdude]

I approve. I approve vigorously.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

I approve, but not vigorously. I know everybody moans this for movies where it doesn't make sense, but with this many characters already, I am a little worried about how much screentime Psylocke will get.

But hopefully this and Deadpool will lead to an X-Force movie.

[turtlefanforever]

origins wolverine is far and beyond better than the wolverine. it felt like they just made that movie just cause hugh jackman wanted to play wolverine again. That said both solid films. But "the wolverine" felt uneeded. I enjoyed both. i just watched the newest X-men film too. That was good. Excited for Apocalypse.

Also Oliva Munn as Psylocke is perfect

are you kidding Origins wolverine is crap compared to The Wolverine. Origins wolverine made Deadpool a joke put gambit in for no reason just to please the fans. Ignoring the 3rd act with the samurai robot Wolverine was superior to Origins. The story was better in The Wolverine. They made the Wolverine because Origins was horrible.

[Leo656]

Munn as Psylocke is kinda neat; she kinda looks the part. But, it's Munn, so she probably only got it by putting in some time on the ol' Casting Couch, since that's kind of how she gets to do anything. :lol: "Allegedly".

But yeah she's fine.

But yeah she's fine.

I've never even heard of her... what has she been in?

[Leo656]

More like "who's been in her?" Answer being, "Apparently every famous guy, but especially football players and Justin Timberlake, while he was going out with whatsername." HIYOOOOOO! :tgrin::tgrin::tgrin:

Nah, she used to co-host Attack of the Show on G4. After that, she did a few movies nobody saw, had some kind of gig on the Daily Show for 5 minutes, finally whipped them out in another movie nobody saw, and now, apparently, she's in this.

It's kinda hard to say, because whenever she's in the news it's because some famous guy got caught cheating on their wife/girlfriend with her, not whatever work she's doing.

I like her though, she was funny on AOTS but that's about it. She's one of those "Geek Goddess" types that nerds are supposed to identify with because she dresses up like Wonder Woman and Slave Leia and stuff like that. Also kind of tries too hard. Mostly famous for jumping into a giant pie while wearing a French Maid costume, or deep-throating various food items so people could make gifs of it.

So yeah, she's ok. But I doubt she got the part because of her resume or qualifications. But that's fine, she's kind of Asian, so at least it's authentic.

So people are fine with her in X-Men, but can't stand Megan Fox in TMNT? Ah the joys of dealing with other people... :tlol:

[Shred Head]

I'm not happy about it Psylocke is one of my favorites but I think people are more accepting because its writing on the wall shes nothing more then one of those 5 minute cameos that will have next no lines. Hell will probraly have more footage of the stunt actor in the costume then her. While April was the main cast hell star of the whole damn movie. So theirs a major difference between the two. Granted I'm still not happy but whatever her being in 5 minutes wont be a total abomination.

[Andrew NDB]

Seems like a decent enough choice for Psylocke. Too bad it's in a Bryan Singer film where she'll probably just get one line or a a couple of quick cameos so as to not get in the way of the X-Men fighting Magneto for the 23rd time or Mystique crying or whatever tiny plot he's constructed this time.

So people are fine with her in X-Men, but can't stand Megan Fox in TMNT? Ah the joys of dealing with other people... :tlol:

It's stupid. Megan Fox was and is a fine choice, even if it wasn't in a "film" as brain dead, soulless and non-TMNT-like as the last one. People need to stop acting like April O'Neil is King Lear, or something.

[Andrew NDB]

But, it's Munn, so she probably only got it by putting in some time on the ol' Casting Couch

You realize X-Men: Apocalypse is a Bryan Singer movie, right? This is his type:

I am not the only one who disagrees with Origins being good its universally hated by comic book fans. heck it has a 38 % rotton on Rotten tomatoes while The Wolverine has a 69% fresh.

[Andrew NDB]

Yep, Nightcrawler looks like Singer's wet dream, so that all checks out.

Maybe someone can explain, but Archangel has never really made sense to me. You take a mutant that actually has wings... remove them entirely, and then give him brand new mechanical wings? If you have the technology to do that, why do you even need a mutant who formerly had wings? Why not just give them to anybody, then?

[Candy Kappa]

Apocalypse works in mysterious ways. :P

the thing about Angel is that, If his wings were cut off, He just grows new ones.

That happened a lot later, though. They grew under the the metallic wings, and where revealed re grown when the metallic ones fractured.

I actually like the new take on Nighty. He looks like a good hybrid of the classic design and Evo, which he was younger. Kinda wish they stuck with his Evo-design hair though. Yikes...

[CyberCubed]

Scary thought, the actress' playing Jean and Jubilee in this movie were only like 3 years old when the first X-men movie came out in 2000. If that doesn't make you feel old I don't know what will.

[TheBlueTurtle1]

Thanks for that Cyber:cry:

Its kind of ironic that nowadays you can date a 20 year old who a decade ago was only 10 years old while you were legal. Its creepy when you think about it.

[sdp]

How is that ironic?
How is that creepy? They're not dating the ten year old...I do think the ten year gap is a huge difference but come on.

It's kind of odd to think the current Jean Grey was only 3 but whatever when the first X-Men movie came out I was also still a 12 year old kid.

[ToTheNines]

Its kind of ironic that nowadays you can date a 20 year old who a decade ago was only 10 years old while you were legal. Its creepy when you think about it.

And yea, Apocalypse doesn't look right, but that's not a terrible thing because he can look pretty silly. Even though he looks like Ivan ooze from Power Rangers, I still think this is gonna work for the movie.

So is this supposed to be the same Nightcrawler from X-2? How are they going to retcon stuff?

I don't even care anymore. The X-men movies have more continuity errors than anything I've ever seen.

[chrisdude]

I wouldn't call them errors. Willful disregard. But the timing works out fine for Nightcrawler. This movie takes place about 20 years after First Class. What would they need to retcon?

Also, the timeline's already diverged. Continuity's out.

[NinjaPug]

These 3 "prequel" movies take place over 2 decades but the actors barely look like they've aged. It's best not to think too much about it. I just hope they make a good movie,

The fact that he's meeting everyone when he's young in this movie, but no one remembers each other in X2?
I don't remember if there's any kind of acceptable rationale for that in any of the other movies, because I skipped a bunch of the Wolverine ones and may have missed parts of the First Class timeline ones because those movies are kinda boring.

That is patently not true.

[Slade]

I haven't followed this at all. Just now saw Apocalypse.

That sh*t looks horrible.

[Turo602]

Yeah, Apocalypse looks like sh*t. It's bad enough Wolverine is practically absent from the film. I have a bad feeling about this movie. Hopefully it turns out really good despite how bad Apocalypse looks but it just feels like a major letdown. He was the one character I was most excited to see on film since the very start of this series. At least Days of Future Past was good, but even then, it could have been so much more. For once, I just want to see the X-Men done right.

[Sumac]

Psylocke is another proof, that some costumes doesn't work IRL.

Apoc looks like villain from Farscape or Power Rangers.

[chrisdude]

Accurate costume doesn't work in real life.

Altered costume looks silly.

We hate EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!! :flaming:

Seriously, though, I think the best X-Men movie was "First Class." I haven't thought better than "pretty good" for any of the others. "First Class" was "badass."

[TigerClaw]

This is why I try to distance myself from some of the fanboyism that's going on, They are too nitpicky, I'm just glad we have a new X-Men movie coming out next year, I don't care if the costumes they wear aren't accurate.

[Vicky82]

Even though I'm a X-Men fan, i'm not exactly excited for this movie. I can't imagine this is going to do more than Days of Future Past.

[PangolinFeets]

I'm not really picky, because I already don't expect much. As long as Storm has a mohawk and gets to be cool and Nightcrawler gets to be a jokester, I'll be happy. If Nightcrawler gets a swordfight, it will be my favorite X-men movie.

On the current subject though, this fan edit is sweet:

and Storm looks nice. I usually hate the mohwak...I have no idea who thought it was cool, but it looks great on the actress :D

my only gripe is that Storm looks extremely light skinned for a person from Africa. Come on hollywood we gotta represent the dark ladies too~ ;) don't be scared~

but other than that everyone looks fine! I hope Storm gets more story this time! pleassseee more story!

[chrisdude]

My thing is, I don't like the dark costume in Man of Steel. I don't like the Batsuits in every movie since Burton's. I'd prefer gray. I think Spider-Man's suits look too professional in the Raimi and Webb films. I never liked that the X-Men wore black leather in the movies.

IT JUST ISN'T A SIGNIFICANT PART OF A FILM.

I just don't understand why people think 18-20 year old girls are jailbait. I mean they're legal, they just look very young. On another forum I said Jean's actress is cute and I got like 5 people telling me "she's a kid" and "pedo" remarks.

Like...what?

Yeah, Apocalypse looks like sh*t. It's bad enough Wolverine is practically absent from the film. I have a bad feeling about this movie. Hopefully it turns out really good despite how bad Apocalypse looks but it just feels like a major letdown. He was the one character I was most excited to see on film since the very start of this series. At least Days of Future Past was good, but even then, it could have been so much more. For once, I just want to see the X-Men done right.

I think your just feeling Nostalgic. You should get over it, the new design is awesome, the old one is trash. Stop whining. 8)


Psylocke is another proof, that some costumes doesn't work IRL.


Psylocke is proof that Olivia Munn doesn't work as Psylocke.

My thing is, I don't like the dark costume in Man of Steel. I don't like the Batsuits in every movie since Burton's. I'd prefer gray. I think Spider-Man's suits look too professional in the Raimi and Webb films. I never liked that the X-Men wore black leather in the movies.

IT JUST ISN'T A SIGNIFICANT PART OF A FILM.

I agree with everything you said, except for that last part. It f*cking matters.
Deadpool is proof of both scenarios.

Do it right, or GTFO.

Olivia Munn doesn't work as anything. :lol: Unless she's paddling about in whipped cream or performing fellatio on every phallic food item known to man. Those are her strengths; she'd do well to play mostly to them rather than reach too far beyond her grasp.

It's just that people who are that transparent about starf*cking their way to success make me a little bit uncomfortable. :lol: And like you said, she comes off like kind of a phony. I've only seen her in a couple of things since AOTS, so my jury's still out on her "acting". My main points of reference are her blowing the hot dog and her swimming in the giant pie dressed like a French maid. :lol: Truly, her finest role. :tgrin:

I don't care one way or the other - but yeah, like you said, she dates to climb the ladder. She's all business, all the time, or so I've been told.

So yeah, she's exactly who you think she is.

Still she is good at the rapid fire line delivery thing, and can hold her own in a scene. Most talented actors are obnoxious and phony though... so no surprise. It's part of being an actor I think.

She isn't right for Psylocke.

I'm sure Munn will be fine, and I get why they cast her - I guess I think they could have found a more suitable asian actress. Munn just plays Munn...
Munn munn munn.....munn ...munn....munn........

[Leofan26]

Saw the comic con trailer, not impressed. In my opinion the new cast does not fit and it's weird how Wolverine won't be playing much of a part in this. For once I'm not interested in an X - Men film.

[CyberCubed]

Its a bad thing Wolverine won't have a big part in this? If anything that's a good thing. Besides there's a third Wolverine solo movie coming out in 2017 so that's good enough.

For that matter I haven't been paying attention, is Wolverine slated to appear in this film at all? I wonder if it'll just be a small cameo like in First Class where we see him for 10 seconds.

[Candy Kappa]

Wolverine's been the main character for 6 movies, it's time for him to be a supporting role. And wear that yellow suit they teased in The Wolverine.

And still no fuzzy elf... I guess they still might get Nightcrawler right this time around. It's nice to see mohawk Storm, and the new actor looks very good, but her costume is a big load of "meh", same goes for Apocalypse. It's a bit sad when cosplayers does a far better job.

[chrisdude]

I never liked Wolverine. Jackman is great, but I've disliked the character since long before the films. But they've confirmed young Stryker to return, so I bet we'll get more Wolverine.

[NinjaPug]

Seriously, enough Wolverine. How about focus on making a decent Cyclops for once?

[CyberCubed]

Seriously, enough Wolverine. How about focus on making a decent Cyclops for once?

Since they casted the new young Cyclops and Jean, I'm betting we'll see more of the two of them in future movies. Seriously the best thing about them being young is they won't age as fast in real life and we can get some good movies out of them.

[TheBlueTurtle1]

More Wolverine! (Hugh Jackman) he is the best thing about these movies, I hope he has a change of heart and stays on. My dream of Blade (wesley Snipes) and wolverine, meeting the avengers must happen!

I sometimes forget how old Patrick Stewart looks now. After watching Next Generation for so many years I always think he looks exactly the same in that show as he does now in real life. You tend to forget that the actors age and don't look like they still do in the stuff you're watching from 20 years ago.

Would love to see him as either Prof. X or Captain Picard one last time if it ever happens.

That's not the only one, either. There was also the novel, "Planet X". Great book, too!


I know, I still can't believe that was a thing. Have you ever read it?


I've read an issue or two. It was pretty cool.


There was a crossover novel with The Next Generation, too. Haven't read either…


I found it in my local library a few years back, actually, in the town I lived in before moving here. It was a good read, and crossed the two worlds wonderfully. It also referenced the comic crossover, and there was one really neat moment between Picard and Storm where they are strolling through a corridor in the Enterprise, and she tells him he reminds her of Professor Xavier. And then he says he'd never have the patience to teach kids. It was a nice little tongue-in-cheek dig at the fact that both characters were played by Stewart!


I did, still have it somewhere. It actually made an honest effort to cross the two over, even having a resurrected Gary from "Where No Man Has Gone Before" joining forces with... some X-Men villain I can't recall. It was neat.


Yeah, that was interesting. Pretty nice mix of the two, as well. The novel was about how a few members of an alien species on a newly contacted planet were developing powers similar to the X-Men, and the fact they were being treated in much the same way. Apparently, humans don't have the monopoly on bigotry against those who are different. The affected people were their version of "mutants", and the Enterprise crew and X-Men were trying to help stop the persecution and attacks on the "new mutants". I really liked it.

On a related note, I did something of the sort myself several years ago with a Voyager and Starjammer crossover that involved Q, the Watcher, and a bet between the two over which ship would win an interstellar race- Voyager or the Starjammer. The losing ship's universe would then have to deal with a new threat- either the Phoenix, or the Borg! (Depending on who won.)

[JakeSully]

This should be good as it can be Singer's version of Stargate in some way.

Anyone glad Singer is back in control of X-Men with DOFP and FC? i am and they are damned good. Fox should just stick to X-Men and let go of the Fantastic Four, i mean FF needs to go back to Marvel Studios as they are better off with that studio than Fox.

I mean Fox should get X-Men show rights from Marvel in exchange for FF as in trade FF rights to Marvel to have Fox obtain X-Men show rights. This and Deadpool and Captain America 3 should wash the bad taste of FF.

[CyberCubed]

Is Wolverine even in this movie?

I would think by now we would have known and they seem to be unusually quiet about it. The only reason I asked is because the ending of the last movie had Mystique posing as Stryker meaning she probably freed Wolverine from being captured. That would mean he wouldn't have his metal claws anymore...

[MsMarvelDuckie]

I doubt that. Wolvie didn't change at all, and I doubt they would've messed with the time line THAT much. She was just posing as Stryker to hide and find other mutants, most likely. The real Stryker was still around, so obviously that part still happened.

[ranger_scout]

The official synopsis has been released.

“Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshiped as a god. Apocalypse, the first and most powerful mutant from Marvel’s X-Men universe, amassed the powers of many other mutants, becoming immortal and invincible. Upon awakening after thousands of years, he is disillusioned with the world as he finds it and recruits a team of powerful mutants, including a disheartened Magneto (Michael Fassbender), to cleanse mankind and create a new world order, over which he will reign. As the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance, Raven (Jennifer Lawrence) with the help of Professor X (James McAvoy) must lead a team of young X-Men to stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete destruction.”

That. But it'll likely never happen in our lifetimes. X-Men movies sell themselves and a whole generation is growing up content with how shortly Singer has sold the X-Men (and continues to).

[ZariusTwo]

This just means Marvel Comics will continue f*cking over the X-Men the way they have the last few years just to spite FOX. First by killing off Wolverine, then by sterilizing mutantkind, then revealing Magneto was'nt the father of Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, and further vilifying Cyclops etc.

Look for more perks to be given to the Inhumans

I have to admit, I became an X-Men fan because of the movies. Then I learned more about the X-Men, realized how badly butchered so many of the characters were (Cyclops, Rogue, Storm, and Jean Grey, to name only four), and no longer support Fox's movies as being the X-Men movies fans deserve. We deserve much better.

Although it does seem that they may do right by Deadpool...

[CyberCubed]

Marvel ruined Cyclops just as much as the movies did.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Yeah, but they at least ruined a character who had previously been great. A leader, a lover, and a badass.

Fox's Cyclops is just some mopey guy in red raybans.

I just want another X-Men movie without Singer and Wolverine. There's a reason First Class is the best one.

Yep. Though Matthew Vaughn hasn't really ever done a movie I've not liked the hell out of.

I too want to see the FOX-Men film be put to rest and let Marvel Studios have their turn....as unlikely as it is. :ohwell:

[chrisdude]

They've always talked of Apocalypse as the end of a trilogy. Didn't know what would come next. But I'm definitely glad that Singer's staying on board. He's taken liberties with the characters, and I'm not happy with some of it, but no one's making better comic book movies than these, in my opinion.

[CyberCubed]

At the very least the new young Scott, Jean, Storm, etc...means we'll get a second chance with their characters. They're all bound to return in the next film.

[CyberCubed]

The X-men film franchise is one of the longest running film franchise in history going on 16 years straight. I mean not count the ones that "ended" at some point and then were revived with new movies like Star Wars, Terminator, etc.

The X-men film franchise never actually ended or had a real reboot, its still going after 16 years. Its impressive for a comic book franchise to never be rebooted after this long.

Batman, Spiderman, Superman all had numerous film reboots. We're still on the first X-men film franchise.

[Andrew NDB]

The X-men film franchise never actually ended or had a real reboot

True in the strictest sense, but the events of most of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, X1, X2, and X3 were all wiped out. That's about half the movie franchise right there.

[chrisdude]

Marvel just recently made Iceman gay. I wonder if they'll do that with him in the movies.I would think they would. If they didn't make him gay in any future films, that would be altering the character to make him straight. They could catch a lot of bad press for that. What's the word for the orientation version of whitewashing?

[ZariusTwo]

I too want to see the FOX-Men film be put to rest and let Marvel Studios have their turn....as unlikely as it is. :ohwell:

Marvel does not equal instant quality. That studio's only made about two or three objectively good movies (Iron Man I, Winter Soldier, Ant-Man), everything else has been mediocre, flat out terrible, or ludicrously overrated.

[Commenter 42]

Not a lot of big name directors in the game anymore. I can't think of a single "name" I'd be excited to get an x-men reboot from. The auteur thing is over.

The force awakens might be the last film I see in the theater for a very, very long time. after that, 2016 seems to be full of rentals.

[TigerClaw]

True in the strictest sense, but the events of most of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, X1, X2, and X3 were all wiped out. That's about half the movie franchise right there.
Yeah, The end of Days of Future Past created a new timeline, in which Cyclops and Jean Grey survived, and X-Men Apocalypse takes place in the 80s and we see young versions of those characters.

Since Fox announced the next movie after Apocalypse, It's probably gonna take place in the 90s, And if they do another film after that, It should be at the timeline that was established at the end of Days of Future Past.

[ZariusTwo]

if they do another film after that, It should be at the timeline that was established at the end of Days of Future Past.

By which point, a decade will have passed since the Last Stand. :o

I feel very old

[chrisdude]

I doubt they would introduce a whole new cast of actors for such popular X-Men if they were going to drop them and bring the old guys back. They could have held back on Cyclops, Jean, etc. And everything works in threes. So I have to guess there will be a new trilogy with this new cast. I kind of think of wolverine as floating off in his own timeline, and don't really feel like future movies from the 80s on have to run into it.
