Angel should cut off heads with his wings. Yup. :up:
I think that will come when he turns into Archangel and has actual metal blades for feathers. :D

1. I LOVE what you guys have done with Angel's wings. Was there a reason you guys chose to give his wings a cleaner, less ruffled look than from the comics?
*It was Brett’s decision. I think he wanted to show those wings as something beautiful – something that Warren should be proud of.
2. When Ben Foster was cast as Angel, do you think he was also looked at for a possible Archangel in the near future? Because if you've seen Hostage, Ben makes for a damn creepy and disturbed kid. And I have a gut feeling (which I hope I'm right about) that you guys were looking to cast a person not just for Angel, but for if (and hopefully when) he would transform into Archangel.
*I don’t know if they were thinking about Archangel, but he definitely fits the bill.

I still can't see him as Angel, but I'm willing to give him a chance. The reason being is I still see him as the kid in Fast Forward.

I used to watch that show, I've known who Ben Foster was forever and when I first saw him in hostage, I was taken by surprise. I was very midly skeptical of him being Angel, but I was just so happy they included the character I didn't worry about the casting till I saw the trailer and there was no need to worry after that.
I've been waiting to see Angel since the start six years ago, and had almost convinced myself he would get screwed over in favor of Gambit.

The trailer truly feels like a sample to me. Too small of a sample, but I'm all for giving the newbies of the cast a chance.
I do think they've nailed the look at least.

Q: Are you a comic geek?
A: I thought Gambit was the man. When I heard X3 was being made, they said there are three roles coming up: Beast, Angel, and Gambit. I said, "Oh, ****, I want to throw cards." And for one reason or another, he didn't show up in this film. But once I started preparing to audition for Angel, I became obsessed. It's a man with wings.

20th Century Fox has provided a new FX shot of Angel spreading his wings in the laboratory; although reminiscent of an earlier shot, the photos features a cleaner look at his wings and darker blue lighting (the original photo was recently updated with the same blue tone), which highlights the fact that the FX for the film are constantly being improved!

Angel's evolution. They added more detail to the feathers, and they not only set the wings further down his back, but pulled them up so they taper near his waist - in the first two shots the wings extend down to about mid-thigh.

Storm22
04-22-2006, 01:38 PM
The scene where Beast is in the cockpit of the X jet with Storm and Wolverine and they're all looking out the window, Storm has a very concerned look on her face, they're probably witnessing Magneto rip the GG bridge away - Beast looks like he's wearing a jumper, his blue fur stops dramatically/suddenly at his neck line.

New Ben Foster interview at 7x7 magazine, transcribed by the good people of Ben Foster Online
http://www.ben-foster.org/articles/article_7x70406.php
Relevant X-men excerpt:
Next month, Foster moves from meth to X in his first big-budget blockbuster, X-Men: The Last Stand, along side Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry and Patrick Stewart. Strapping on wings and flying through the air – "We're on wires, moving through the sky, and there ain't no net and there ain't no bag," he says – he plays Angel (aka Warren Worthington III), a mutant in Marvel's merry band of X-Men. This is a bit of a 180 for the actor, whose film choices have until now been more personal. "As much fun as I had playing someone as free as Jake was, it was incredibly exhausting keeping that level of potential violence at my fingertips," says Foster. "So when X-Men came around, it was a vacation – like living in a theme park for six months. It was great, I get to fly around and kick bad guys' asses. At the same time, I'm a kid and a boy, and being a toy will be amazing."
A toy?
"I'm in a computer somewhere – my proportions and angles, it's bizarre," he says, laughing at the prospect of being an action figure. "They put you on a plate and spin you around and there are lasers. They scan you and put dots on your naked body. These people know me biblically."
Beyond the obvious allure of superpowers, it's hard to understand how Foster can intentionally tap into his insecurities over and over again without having a nervous breakdown or threatening to fly off to a small tropical island and disappear. He credits a strong support network for keeping grounded without breaking his creative flow. "I have friends who are authors and painters and carpenters. I don't see them when I'm working, but when I come off of working, it's good to know they're still there."
It's an expected response, but Foster soon shows the depth of his convictions. When I mention a popular actress recently said she only does big Hollywood movies to make enough money to do the smaller projects she prefers, the smile slowly fades. He stands up. Sits back down. Twists his hands around his can of Red Bull.
"God, that's insulting. That invalidates everybody who enjoyed what you communicated in the big movie that you did to afford you to do the little one," Foster says. "I think that's incredibly degrading to people…and to yourself at the end of the day. That's a sell out."
And with that, Foster's BlackBerry goes off. "Woman trouble," he says, wincing. No one's perfect, flaws are more the norm that the ideal and seeing someone show a peek of a heart is reassuring. Foster is trying to keep it real. Which will serve him well as he gets bigger.

When I mention a popular actress recently said she only does big Hollywood movies to make enough money to do the smaller projects she prefers, the smile slowly fades. He stands up. Sits back down. Twists his hands around his can of Red Bull.
"God, that's insulting. That invalidates everybody who enjoyed what you communicated in the big movie that you did to afford you to do the little one," Foster says. "I think that's incredibly degrading to people…and to yourself at the end of the day. That's a sell out."
And with that, Foster's BlackBerry goes off. "Woman trouble," he says, wincing. No one's perfect, flaws are more the norm that the ideal and seeing someone show a peek of a heart is reassuring. Foster is trying to keep it real. Which will serve him well as he gets bigger.
Anyone know what actress said that?
At least there are no more quotes like this in that interview because EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! :O

New Ben Foster interview at 7x7 magazine, transcribed by the good people of Ben Foster Online
http://www.ben-foster.org/articles/article_7x70406.php
Relevant X-men excerpt:
Next month, Foster moves from meth to X in his first big-budget blockbuster, X-Men: The Last Stand, along side Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry and Patrick Stewart. Strapping on wings and flying through the air – "We're on wires, moving through the sky, and there ain't no net and there ain't no bag," he says – he plays Angel (aka Warren Worthington III), a mutant in Marvel's merry band of X-Men. This is a bit of a 180 for the actor, whose film choices have until now been more personal. "As much fun as I had playing someone as free as Jake was, it was incredibly exhausting keeping that level of potential violence at my fingertips," says Foster. "So when X-Men came around, it was a vacation – like living in a theme park for six months. It was great, I get to fly around and kick bad guys' asses. At the same time, I'm a kid and a boy, and being a toy will be amazing."
A toy?
"I'm in a computer somewhere – my proportions and angles, it's bizarre," he says, laughing at the prospect of being an action figure. "They put you on a plate and spin you around and there are lasers. They scan you and put dots on your naked body. These people know me biblically."
Beyond the obvious allure of superpowers, it's hard to understand how Foster can intentionally tap into his insecurities over and over again without having a nervous breakdown or threatening to fly off to a small tropical island and disappear. He credits a strong support network for keeping grounded without breaking his creative flow. "I have friends who are authors and painters and carpenters. I don't see them when I'm working, but when I come off of working, it's good to know they're still there."
It's an expected response, but Foster soon shows the depth of his convictions. When I mention a popular actress recently said she only does big Hollywood movies to make enough money to do the smaller projects she prefers, the smile slowly fades. He stands up. Sits back down. Twists his hands around his can of Red Bull.
"God, that's insulting. That invalidates everybody who enjoyed what you communicated in the big movie that you did to afford you to do the little one," Foster says. "I think that's incredibly degrading to people…and to yourself at the end of the day. That's a sell out."

Had a thought earlier while I was eating a cream egg lol.
It says on the site and its a part of angels history that at first he couldnt accept what he was and wanted to get rid of his wings. Well we know from storyboards and the trailer that mystique gets the cure and that seconds before warren goes through with it he says he cant do it anymore.
Well, its logical that his father would need to test the cure first before using it on his own son, so who better to test it on than an "evil" mutant like mystique who would have infiltrated the building earlier to find out what the source of the cure was. Mystique is proud of who she is so much so that she chooses to walk around in her natural form than in a disguise. What if warren witnesses her getting cured and sees that this is a woman who's physical mutation can be considered a lot worse that his own, shes solid blue ffs yet she accepts who she is and is devastated when she loses her abilities.
Mystique could be the one who makes warren finally embrace his own mutation and therefore realise he doesnt need to be cured.
Just a thought...

That's a good theory. I doubt Angel's dad would test the cure out on his own son, so that could very well fit with your theory. :up:

I brought this up in another thread but what does everyone think of a possible relationship between Rouge and Angel? This happens in the comics and the early 90s cartoon show...if Iceman gets another girl....rouge can get a guy with wings!!
