I just got some new word on X3. Gambit and Beast we can confirm. Not sure about Angel. Hugh, Famke, Ian, and Patrick are back as of today. This is in addition to the actors already optioned for X3.

Anna, Halle, and James are NOT signed yet, though by the end of the week, they should know what will happen with Anna Paquin.

Looks like besides Phoenix, the SENTINELS are in, including a character called Dr. Bolivar Trask.

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

Quote:

Variety has confirmed that "Layer Cake" helmer Matthew Vaughn is set to direct X-Men 3 for 20th Century Fox and Marvel Entertainment. Filming is scheduled to start in early summer with many of the cast from the first two films expected to reprise their roles.

Hugh Jackman is set for Wolverine, and Fox is in talks with Halle Berry, Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart to return.

Alex Young is overseeing X-Men 3 for Fox, which is aiming for a Memorial Day May 26, 2006, release date.

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

Quote:

IGN FilmForce's secret X3 source advised us that Anna Paquin is signed to return as Rogue and that the Danger Room will finally be seen. Our insider reiterated that a male Angel will be in X3, along with Beast and Gambit. They also denied that the Sentinels will be in X3, as was reported yesterday at XMenFilms.net. Our source, however, refused to comment on the site's other claim that the film's villain will be Dr. Bolivar Trask.

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....

*raphael_is_cool* · 03-22-2005, 06:52 PM

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.

*Brodie* · 03-23-2005, 08:59 PM

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

*damnhooligan* · 03-23-2005, 09:11 PM

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.

*Hannah* · 03-23-2005, 10:23 PM

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

**Barkworm** · 03-23-2005, 11:30 PM

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

).

*KROW* · 03-24-2005, 12:22 AM

Well, I found the first film to be a bit slow, since they had to build the story. I also like the second movie better.

But, finally. Beast. I've been waiting for him.

They might juggle the Phoenix/Sentinels script by having Jean as a sidestory to the main focus of the rest of the X-Men, which will be the Sentinels. That would work well, I think.

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.

*cowabunga14* · 03-26-2005, 11:48 PM

That's great news. Gambit and Beast will be great additions to X3. I haven't seen X2 so hopefully I can pick that up for cheap on DVD. Is Mojo gonna be in it? I'd like to see him in an X-Men movie. I'll see it when it comes out in theatres. Oh and this off topic but seein' as you are Marvel Fans the Man-Thing movie is gonna be on the Sci Fi channel on April 30th. Check out the Sci Fi website for more details.

Ra · 03-27-2005, 12:56 AM

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*

John 14:6 · 04-02-2005, 08:24 AM

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

*cowabunga14* · 04-02-2005, 01:40 PM

Yeah that'd be pretty rad.

PiffDaddy · 04-07-2005, 06:12 PM

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.

*Dane E5R* · 04-08-2005, 04:20 AM

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.

*raphael_is_cool* · 04-08-2005, 05:06 AM

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.
