X-Men 3 - Please use Spoiler Tags
 

And a news director's been chosen......Too bad he's pretty muhc a no-name. :ohwell:

And a follow up to the first article......

Matthew Vaughn did direct a British film called 'Layer Cake', which almost won him some directorial awards on his first feature. It is a superbly directed film. I'm hoping X3 can have the same stylish look, and should be awesome now Gambit's onboard (I hope)

Cheers for the heads-up

If Trask is the villian doesn't that mean we'll see Sentinals?? He is their creator...

Yep, the first article says the storyline will involve Phoenix and Sentinels....How they're gonna do both beats me....

Should be easy enough. I think you'd need 2 running storylines, they have done so in the past, sort of.

It's just they're now introducing more new characters. I'm sure it'll all tie in somewhere.

Are they gonna go into space too? Because obviously they're film gods if they can handle both sentinels and Pheonix.

I'm just happy that Gambit and Beast are finally being introduced. They were always my favourite two characters.

And I could totally go for some Sentinel action.

Who doesn't love anti semetic robots?

..I suck. I need to like... watch the first two movies.

Just watch the second one, the first one is horrible (although I'm probably the only person who thinks that way :lol: ).

Yep. ANd then they'll probably have something cheesy like Jean flying in at the last moment, destroying all of the sentinels and saving the day. God, I miss Singer.

ahh...the X-Men. brings back memories. to be truthful, X-Men2 was my first ever DVD. but enough about that. i'm really looking forward to seeing Beast, Pheonix and Gambit introduced. you don't know how happy this makes me to hear that X3 is now underway *sits back and waits for the movie to be realised*

I'd love to see Juggernaut and an extended showing of Colosus in a movie sometime.

When I saw Mystique going through the computer looking for the names of mutants and I saw Remy LeBeau, I just about screamed out. Gambit was by far my favorite character, and I'm pumped he's going to be in the next installment.

Do you think he will be introduced initially as a bad guy, working for Magneto, or just as the pick-pocket troubled theif from the original comic? Man, can't wait.

Who would you folks like to see play Gambit? My first choice has always been Jared Leto, but if he's gonna have any kinda romance with Rogue, then Leto would be too old. So, my second choice would be Josh Hartnett.

I personally can't stand Leto or Hartnett.

I would have said Brad Pitt because firstly, all the ladies like him and secondly, he could play the character well (if you've seen Thelma and Louise you'll get the idea).

Only problem is that he's getting on a bit and might not be able to manage the accent.

Sentinels were programmed to hate Jews?

Hmm...

How about James Marsters?

I'd say him but he's even older than Brad Pitt

He's not that older. Only about a year or so.

How about...

Diego Luna?

Or Matt Long?

Personally, I'd stick with Marsters.

He has the trenchcoat look down. 8)

Elias is too old... plus when ever I see the movie I'd think about him playing cricket with Raph and a trash can >_>.

Marsters could pull off a good Gambit, I think. It all depends how big of a role he's gonna play though. If Gambit's going to be evil in this one, he'd work best, otherwise.... I'm stumped.

How, with Beast... human, blue haired ape thingy, or the new kitty form? CGI or suit? if human, who'd play him?

Beast makes casting Gambit look easy... :lol:

They've casted a Human Beast...use him...he's seen i one scene in X-2

Oh yeah, I remember that. Don't know the actor's name, but I'd think Beast would need to be a bit bigger... Maybe have a frame like a gorilla, since he is somewhat ape-like (except for the recent "cat" version of Beast).

But if Beast is gonna be the famous blue furball version, and not a human, then perhaps that actor could go ahead and do it. Of course, the amount of make-up, blue paint, and fur is gonna be even worse than what Cummings and Romjin-Stamos went through to become Nightcrawler and Mystique.

Seriously. :embarass:

I'd pick Clive Owen for Gambit. The actor needs to have a dignified sence about him, those pretty boys above wouldn't be able to convey it as well. Plus everyone likes Clive even more now because of Sin City.

I dont remember seeing beast in X-men 2....then again I havnt seen it in a little while. So who is directing this? I hope this just doesnt turn into some directors child fansty

The Superhero Movie curse seems to be happening again..the first two=good and the third it starts to fall apart.

Spider-man 3: SANDMAN :x 'Nuff Said
X-men Tres:New director and Casting Issues

I dunno but maybe the curse will be broken, But still it has killed many Greater Hero Movies Before.Supes 3 anyone?

I wasn't that impressed with the first two.

But to answer your question: if you look back through the thread Matthew Vaughan is mentioned. He's only done one film so far, a very good British gangster/crime/thriller called 'Layer Cake' and then worked as a producer on a few okay Guy Ritchie films.

He has a good bit of imagination with his directing style but he's never had such a big feature before.

A no name doing it....oh boy I really hope this doesnt turn into a movie that looks like it's made by Paul Andreson. Or doesnt turn out like Blade 3. Blade and Bloodhunt ruled but Trinity was just god awful and I have a feeling crappiness looms in this series future as well

As long as Gambit is in it I'll Be moderately Happy

^^^ My sentiments exactly

Clive would still work in that case too. He's not a bad lookin dude, and he has played several roles that included him as the object of a female's attraction.

Beast has been cast for X-Men 3!

While the bulk of the cast for the third X-Men movie is already in place, Variety today announced a new addition to both the cast and the characters that will appear in the film: Kelsey (Frasier) Grammer as Hank McCoy, aka Beast.

Blue fur and all.

While spinning it to the trade and non-comics readers Marvel’s Avi Arad confirmed what many X-Men fans have known for years: “Kelsey was born to play the role," Arad said. “This is a big role in the new movie, and when we met with him, you can see that Kelsey has that you'd-better-have-a-dictionary-handy intelligence.”

The trade confirmed that X3’s Beast will be the 355-pound, blue furred version.

Also, Vinnie (Snatch) Jones is slated to play Juggernaut in the film, named by the trade as the anchor of Magneto’s “villainous band.” Maggie (Lost) Grace is in negotiations to play Kitty Pryde, while the studio is still searching for an actor to play Angel, described by the trade as “a handsome winged mutant who is ashamed of his feathery appendages.”

Directed by Matthew Vaughn, X-Men 3 is slated to open Memorial Day weekend, 2006.

Raph's Girl note: Soo.. Beast is Metrosexual??? Grammar has gone from being Dr. Frasier Crane to Dr. Hank McCoy! I never would have pictured him in the role but it certainly does fit the Frasier Crane personality. :lol:
