Wolverine and the X-Men News

Wow. Steve Blum. That's...not a bad choice. I've never heard his video game work as Wolvie; can he get growly enough for the character? I mean, his schtick is having a smooth and charismatic voice that drips "cool".

And yeah, Squidboy. The Hell?

In regards to "Mutant Sue" characters...well...Morph turned out quite well and was improted to the comic universe quite nicely. Spyke...not so much. They shoulda just made him Marrow and been done with it. But no.

I remember when I first read about this show, the whole spin was that Wolverine would be leading the team, and how the focus on the show would be how different it was because it was under his leadership.

If they are still following that, it will be very interesting to see how they handle Cyclops, especially if they put him in a non-leadership role on the team.

I think he did Wolverine for Marvel Ultimate Alliance. He was pretty good. Definate growl when agressive, and more of a tough guy sounding voice when despencing casual sarcasim.

Another X men series...Sure why not... I guess now that the trilogy has been done they wanna bring it back to tv...I just wish they would play the 90s one sometimes

Well it's here! The first Promo image for Wolverine and the X-Men! It's a promo poster and many people have commented that it reminds em of Evolution. Either way me likey.

On the poster u can see Wolverine (duh), Colossus, Rogue, Nightcrawler, and 3 I don't recognize (one looks like Xavier but he's standing up. ô,0)

The big guy looks like Beast. The bald dude might be Darwin (Why do I know this character? I don't even read the damn comics. Curse you Wikipedia and curse you boredom).

*ZariusTwo* · 04-20-2007, 07:31 PM

That IS Xavier, he's using special cybernetic harnasses to sustain his legs, obviously for the occasional fight scenes.

Looks like a hybrid of Evolution, and Whedon's X-Men.

*Mr._Mutant_Man* · 04-20-2007, 09:54 PM

This looks like it might be alright, although Shadowcat and Rogue look like they could stand to put on a few.

*Raph's Girl* · 04-20-2007, 10:36 PM

Confirmed characters to be in the series:
Angel
Beast (the really big dude in the poster)
Wolverine
Xavier (yes that's him standing up)
Rogue
Kitty Pryde (she's next to Rogue in the poster)
Colossus
Nightcrawler
Squidboy
Mystique
Sen Kelly

Beast will be voiced by Fred Tatasciore (Hulk in Ultimate Avengers, Gen Gato in TMNT 2007 movie).

So that's 2 people from the new TMNT movie to be cast in Wolverine and the X-men. It's interesting to note tho that Fred Tatasciore is the voice of Magneto in 2 of the X-Men games.

I agree it does.

As far as someone mentioning the 90's Xmen series airing, that actually had it showing on ToonDisney up until last fall i believe.

I too would have like McNiel to have done Wolvie's voice in this one, he did a great job i think in Evolution.
Ok, just checked out Blum's imdb, and i guess i can hear him playing Wolvie(recalling on his FF7:Advent Children performance as Vincent)

Also, is it just me, or does Nightcrawler look a little too tall in that poster preview?
