Official First Class News & Speculation Thread

[knowsbleed]

I agree, when I saw the title I thought to myself, "Nowhere does it say that McAvoy has any intentions of leaving this movie"... it's very irresponsible and is only a way to warrant a click on a hyperlink. Shock headlines are soooo early 1900s.

[MoPlaYa]

Filming starts tomorrow right?

[FatmanReturns]

I believe so. Here's to hoping for set pics!

[The Wizard]

Set pics would be nice.

[Mogwai]

^can't wait.

[JP]

Bacon was sporting an epic stache at the Emmy's tonight. :awesome:

[AntiG]

Bacon was sporting an epic stache at the Emmy's tonight. :awesome:

Can't wait for his and January's interview on MTV site. :yay:

[The Wizard]

When will their interviews be up?

[JP]

Was MTV at the Emmys?

I watched E! and NBC and no one asked Bacon, Byrne, or Jones anything about First Class. :(

I didn't watch TV Guide Network, though.

[Doctor Jones]

Well, it's E! they don't care about that stuff. All they ask is, what they're wearing, their plans with people, etc. All that boring stuff.

[marvelrobbins]

Which Is why I don't watch E anymore.All they care about Is reality crap and Tabloid
****.Most guys don't care what designer actresses wear at premieres and awards shows.Only how they look at premieres and awards shows.

[TNC9852002]

Well, I think we can give them a break...I mean, I could understand if X:FC was just a few weeks or a month into filming, but they literally are just STARTING to shoot the movie.

There wouldn't be a lot of information to pass right now. There'll be plenty more opportunities in the near future.

[Mogwai]

i bet since the movie is less than a year away will get some teasers/stills in the next couple months.

[Hellion]

i bet since the movie is less than a year away will get some teasers/stills in the next couple months.


Don't really Remember about X-Men Origins: Wolverine last year...but for X-Men: The Last Stand didn't promotional images and teaser trailers, etc start around Nov.-Dec. 05? What a time to be a fan back then...

...I'll assume it will be similar for X-Men: First Class...

[The Original Bamfer]

I can't wait for set pictures! I'm literally fangirling just thinking about it!

Probably not a teaser until December, but definitely some random set photos of the actors by late September and some official press photos by early November.

[Electrix]

Oh, I just remembered, I asked Singer when we can expect our first look at some of the costumes and the look they're going for and he told me to expect something in about a month, if not sooner. So seems like we'll begin to have a clue pretty soon.

http://www.aintitcool.com/node/46217

[Deaths Head II]

I can't wait to see the costumes. I'll probably be massively disappointed but **** it, I'm excited.

[Electrix]

Still images of costumes always create controversy. They always work better in motion.

[Deaths Head II]

I'm just really curious because I'm not even sure what to expect. With a concept like this I would imagine everyone just wearing normal clothing. The Hellfire Club basically just wear 18th Century suits and back when Magneto and Xavier were friends they were walking around in civvies from what I can remember. But still, Singer said we'd be getting costumes and this is the same guy who gave us the black leather. So he could have easily just gone the easy way out but now there is not only talk of costumes but costumes that are closer to the comics.

As for the younger mutants, I would have expected the First Class costumes from the comics if this was the First Class from the comics but it isn't. I don't think those outfits suit guys like Havok or Banshee. So that leaves their regular costumes from the comics, and even that is weird. Will Banshee be wearing yellow spandex? Will Mystique put on some clothing? I don't think we'll be seeing Azazel in his skull and bones outfit.. So I'm really interested in seeing what direction they will take with the outfits.

[Lightning Strykez!]

http://www.aintitcool.com/node/46217

That should be interesting.

I am most keenly interested in seeing James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, January Jones and Kevin Bacon in costume. I could really care less about seeing the others since...well, the others are all B and C list characters whose costumes I can't recall even from the comic books. LOL

[Loganbabe]

I can't wait for set pictures! I'm literally fangirling just thinking about it!
Same here! :grin:
Set pictures, pictures of the actors on set, pictures of James and Vaughn coming to blows on the first day of shooting...anything will do, really! :hehe:

[Deaths Head II]

It's the opposite for me. I imagine them giving those guys outfits pretty close to civvies so I'm not too interested. I could be wrong though.

[Lightning Strykez!]

What exactly is a civvie? :huh:

[Crockett]

Civilians clothes, I guess.

[Michellemabelle]

What exactly is a civvie? :huh:

Civilian clothing.

[Lightning Strykez!]

:doh:

Ah. Thanks. I thought he was seriously mispelling "skivvies", and was like, "Wahhh?"

[Deaths Head II]

Civilians clothes, I guess.

Yep. I'm imagining Xavier in an outfit similar to the ones he wore in Wolverine and the opening to X3, Emma wearing a white fancy dress, Shaw wearing a fancy suit, and I have no idea about Magneto. Maybe something like that weird purple outfit he had in the beginning of X3 but I hope not. I thought it was kind of tacky.

[The Original Bamfer]

Yep. I'm imagining Xavier in an outfit similar to the ones he wore in Wolverine and the opening to X3, Emma wearing a white fancy dress, Shaw wearing a fancy suit, and I have no idea about Magneto.

Probably, but then there's the "first class" - Beast, Banshee, etc...

[Lightning Strykez!]

Maybe something like that weird purple outfit he had in the beginning of X3 but I hope not. I thought it was kind of tacky.

The weird purple outfit in X3 was decidedly 'Teh gay' for me. :down I hated it and I remember thinking in the theater "Ian picked that s*** out for himself, dammit!"

As far as Emma...she better be wearing something positively ****ty to make it worth my while. I'm talking serious thong, cleavage, lace-ups and thigh-high (8-inch) boots--with platforms! :p

[Crockett]

In terms of Magneto, I hope in the movie he doesn't wear the helmet the whole time. Since the film is covering Xavier's and Erik's slowy descending friendship that when Magneto is not trusting Xavier anymore then he use the helmet.

[The Original Bamfer]

The weird purple outfit in X3 was decidedly 'Teh gay' for me. :down I hated it and I remember thinking in the theater "Ian picked that s*** out for himself, dammit!"

As far as Emma...she better be wearing something utterly white and ****ty to make it worth my while. I'm talking serious thong, cleavage, lace-ups and thigh-high boots! :p

Um, what does 'Teh gay' mean in terms of costuming?

Xavier's was very Xavier-ish and pretty typical for the filmverse, and Magneto's was flamboyant - he doesn't care if he wears purple (seeing as he did in almost every comic panel he was in). Also, Xavier's suit was lighter colors (if we're strictly speaking the opening scene) and Magneto's was darker, sort of representing light and dark, respectively. It made sense.

[The Original Bamfer]

In terms of Magneto, I hope in the movie he doesn't wear the helmet the whole time. Since the film is covering Xavier's and Erik's slowy descending friendship that when Magneto is not trusting Xavier anymore then he use the helmet.

If it's a true prequel to the first film, then he shouldn't wear the helmet at all - at least not till he's off on his own. In X-Men, it was referenced that Magneto was blocking Xavier's telepathic ability somehow (but Xavier didn't know,) then later Magneto points to his helmet and smiles, confirming that the helmet was doing the job. If he wears the helmet while with Xavier, or anytime in the film where he and Xavier are in the same scene, then it will break that continuity.

[Crockett]

Well, yeah it's been a long time since I saw X-Men. My theory is that Emma probably uses her telepathic ability on Magneto, causing him to be cautious in the future with telepaths and afterwards when he parted ways with Xavier that he builds his helmet.

[The Original Bamfer]

I think it would be more of an impact if Charles did. It would separate them even more.

[Crockett]

Yes it would, Xavier going bad**** crazy on Magneto lol. :oldrazz:

[The Wizard]

Xavier using telepathy on/against Magneto would be interesting. I'm still curious about Charles and Erik's age at the start of First Class, since in X1, Charles said he met Erik when he was 17. We know First Class starts with Charles at Oxford (he taught there in the comics). I know Charles and Erik will be in their early 20s in FC, so I'm curious if we'll see a 17 year-old Xavier at one point.

[Lightning Strykez!]

Um, what does 'Teh gay' mean in terms of costuming?


It means his costume was too artsy...too....swishy for my taste. I don't believe 616 (or even Ultimate) Magneto would ever be caught wearing a get-up like that--the character is extremely masculine and regal in the way he carries himself. He has style and flair...but not quite like that. To me, it looked like something Ian McKellan would wear off-screen. And since I know Ian is a flamboyant gay man who is "out" in real life, seeing him dressed like that took me out of the movie for a minute.

In other words, I was seeing Ian McKellan in that scene rather than Magneto.

[Marx]

Ian McKellan is an incredible actor and a great Magneto. Purple clothes and all.

[Lightning Strykez!]

Ian McKellan is an incredible actor and a great Magneto. Purple clothes and all.

Didn't say he wasn't; Sir Ian is made of win. To me, he just looked a tad effeminate in that particular scene.

[Marx]

Didn't say he wasn't. To me, he just looked a tad effeminate there.

He never struck me as 'effeminate'.

Filmverse Magneto is quite a bit different than 616 Magneto. One can be flamboyant without being gay.

[Lightning Strykez!]

He never struck me as 'effeminate'.

Well, that's why I said he looked that way to me. :oldrazz:

The outfit was loud, and I think that was mostly due to the color. In the 70s I suppose a heterosexual guy could get away wearing something like that; I was a kid in those days; don't remember too much about male fashion design. But I will say that by today's standards--or those in the 80s--his get-up wouldn't be considered conservative. It was pretty edgy then. He looked...I dunno...weird next to Xavier in that neighborhood.

Funny...one of the guys I went to see X3 was like "What is this queen s***!" when he saw that scene. :funny: Some the audience members around us laughed because I think we all were secretly thinking the same thing.

[Marx]

Filmverse Magneto is quite a bit different than 616 Magneto. One can be flamboyant without being gay.

That's true man.

[The Original Bamfer]

Also, Ian wasn't the costume designer, so...

[Lightning Strykez!]

Filmverse Magneto is quite a bit different than 616 Magneto. One can be flamboyant without being gay.

And one can be gay without being flamboyant. What's your point? I didn't say the character was acting any particular way.

His get-up just took me out of the film for a minute. Quite simple. :up:

[The Original Bamfer]

And I'm just saying that I think it was perfectly in character for the character that we saw in the two films prior.

[X-Maniac]

And since I know Ian is a flamboyant gay man who is "out" in real life, seeing him dressed like that took me out of the movie for a minute. In other words, I was seeing Ian McKellan in that scene rather than Magneto.

Sir Ian is hardly 'flamboyant'. He didn't come out until he was 49 years old and I would describe him as mannered and dapper rather than overtly gay. You make it sound like he is some kind of screamer!

Magneto's comic book outfit - red and purple - was represented rather well on film, considering how garish it looks even in the comics.

Watching the more realistic setting of the film, the mainstream viewer could wonder why the character would wear a purple suit with a cape and boots. But he was shown to be a supremacist (and terrorist) with a sense of the theatrical and who loved to make a bold and daring statement. And he saw himself as some kind of ruler, so royal purple wasn't that out of place.

The purple suit at the start of X3 was merely an indication of the man's predisposition for bold statement, unconventionality and regal, foppish attire.

[Lightning Strykez!]

And I'm just saying that I think it was perfectly in character for the character that we saw in the two films prior.

Well, good for you. You asked me what I meant by his costume looking gay and I answered your inquiry.

However, I never asked if you agreed with me. You know I don't care about that. :cool:

[Lightning Strykez!]

Sir Ian is hardly 'flamboyant'. He didn't come out until he was 49 years old and I would describe him as mannered and dapper rather than overtly gay. You make it sound like he is some kind of screamer!

You talk as if being flamboyant is a negative thing. It isn't. And I never said it was. I am a HUGE fan of this actor.

So stop. :dry:

Gentleman: I am not going to get into a damn debate about The Color Purple and Degrees Of Gayness. Leave it for Whoopi. I don't care. It's not that deep. It's just my opinion. Move on with your day.

Geez...we need some real news to talk about here--and stat! :down:whatever:

[Deaths Head II]

Probably, but then there's the "first class" - Beast, Banshee, etc...

Yeah, and like I said, those are the ones I'm really curious about. I would have assumed they would have taken the easy way out and given them all leather outfits again, but it doesn't sound like that's the case. When they say these characters will have costumes "more true to the comics" that raises a lot of questions for me.

Will we get outfits like the one for First Class the comic?

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a283/Deaths_Head_II/20708_4_001.jpg?t=1283218932

I have a hard time imagining anyone but Beast in those outfits, and even then it better be hairless Beast. Those outfits were really meant for the original members, and I have a hard time imagining Azazel, Mystique, or Angel in them. Havok and Banshee did have their own uniform-like costumes in the early 90s on X-Factor and X-Men but I still don't see the other characters matching those outfits.

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a283/Deaths_Head_II/banshee7.jpg?t=1283219374http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a283/Deaths_Head_II/havok1.jpg?t=1283219373

And that's just assuming they're sticking with some type of school uniforms. It's still just as puzzling to me if they're unique outfits. Just look at Banshee, whose costume has stayed pretty much the same since the 60s. How do you stick closer to the comics with that outfit without making it look goofy? It's literally yellow spandex. And bright green spandex.

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a283/Deaths_Head_II/banshee19.jpg?t=1283218873

Will Mystique have a costume closer to the comic? Does that mean she'll actually put on some clothes? Or what about Azazel? I doubt Singer's going to go for Skull armor.

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a283/Deaths_Head_II/mystique22.jpg?t=1283218873 http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a283/Deaths_Head_II/78529-44449-azazel_large.jpg?t=1283218999

Like I said, I'm really curious how this they're going to look. All because they dropped that line about being "closer to the comics." Otherwise I would have just imagined civvies and/or leather outfits, but now they've piqued my interest.

[The Wizard]

Indeed. Would anyone care to discuss my last post on here, about the age of Charles/Erik in First Class? It's one page back.

[BMM]

i bet since the movie is less than a year away will get some teasers/stills in the next couple months.

I just hope the promotional material is better than that of The Last Stand and Wolverine. It's been slipshod since X2. By Wolverine, they weren't even trying. Some of it, has been truly terrible.

[Crockett]

Indeed. Would anyone care to discuss my last post on here, about the age of Charles/Erik in First Class? It's one page back.

I'm guessing they'll have a scene depicting a younger Charles discovering his powers. And then skip to when Charles and Erik meets, probably in their late 20's or early 30's.

[Crockett]

Double post my bad.

[BMM]

Like I said, I'm really curious how this they're going to look. All because they dropped that line about being "closer to the comics." Otherwise I would have just imagined civvies and/or leather outfits, but now they've piqued my interest.

I can't wait to see what they do with Havok.

[The Original Bamfer]

I'm pretty sure Mystique will be blue, scaly and naked, unless this film ends up being more of a reboot than we thought.

[Aesop Rocks]

I kind of want her to randomly change for the first time while at school, you know? Referring to the whole "you're the reason why I never went to school".

[BMM]

I don't know. I've always been wary of school scenarios.

[The Original Bamfer]

Well, regardless, we'll see a kid Mystique, whether it be her or own origin scene or something like her with a younger Magneto. I hope the latter happens more than anything. I think it'd be great to have Magneto rescue Mystique from her family, forming their tight bond.

[Aesop Rocks]

Yeah, I'd really like to see the latter too.

[Matt Mortem]

Well, I think she'd have to be blue scaly and naked otherwise they'd have to explain why she randomly decided to stop wearing clothing later on

[The Wizard]

I'm guessing they'll have a scene depicting a younger Charles discovering his powers. And then skip to when Charles and Erik meets, probably in their late 20's or early 30's.

Possibly. Charles is 17 when he meets Erik, according to X1, and I'm just curious as to how rigorously First Class will follow the timeline of X1 and X2. If they do indeed follow it to the letter, Charles will be 17 when he meets Erik, so we can expect to see Charles be that age when he meets Erik in First Class.

[The Original Bamfer]

Well, I think she'd have to be blue scaly and naked otherwise they'd have to explain why she randomly decided to stop wearing clothing later on

Which would be a waste of time. Just make her blue and scaly. Naked, maybe not... she can still create some type of clothing, hiding her bits. That would not need to be explained since one could easily assume that when she leaves Xavier with Magneto (assuming she's involved at all with Professor X) she decides to be completely natural, as she then realizes she has nothing to hide.

[akfj]

What makes you think Azazel is going to be part of the "First Class" or an X-Men? Isn't the actor playing him in his mid-late 40s?

[sabetoonth]

I thought he was a villain anyway?

[Matt Mortem]

My guess is Azazel is going to be either one of Magneto's cronies or just a random mutie cameo

[The Original Bamfer]

He could be a member of the Hellfire Club.

[Matt Mortem]

Thats true. I actually like that idea more

[sabetoonth]

thats what i thought from the begining was either Hellfire or a free agent with his own agenda

[Deaths Head II]

Well, I think she'd have to be blue scaly and naked otherwise they'd have to explain why she randomly decided to stop wearing clothing later on

If this is going to show Mystique at the very start I don't think it would make sense for her to stop wearing clothes at the very start. I would imagine that would be something she would start doing as she embraced her mutant side more.

[Doctor Jones]

So filming starts today. Anyone gonna talk about it?

[Aesop Rocks]

Does it really? Hawt DAMN!

[JP]

Rose Byrne refused to spill the beans on reports she'll be starring in the next X-Men movie as she attended a glitzy tea party in Los Angeles.
"Well, I feel like I don't want to get in trouble so I'm just not going to say anything," the actress teased at Bafta LA's exclusive event in Beverly Hills.
However, the Aussie star - who is reported to have signed up to play Dr Moira MacTaggert in Matthew Vaughn's X-Men: First Class - did confess to being a fan of the hit films.
"Yeah absolutely, but I'll refrain from commenting," she laughed.
Rose revealed she's enjoyed having the time to make a few films while on a break from her TV series Damages.
"We start up again in January so I've been working on movies for the summer," she said.
"I love the show and I'm very grateful. I think it's a re-inventive show for the legal genre and I think it broke a lot of ground. It's so unique and Glenn Close is one of the best actresses we've ever had."
The 31-year-old said she is as proud of her TV work as she is of her films.
"Time constraints are the biggest difference and there's less interaction with the director but I'm a huge fan of American television. I think now it's a really exciting time for TV and I'll always be honoured to have been a part of it," she said.

Oh my gah, juicy!

[JustABill]

That gurl be totally in the movie. :awesome:

I think she'll be a good Moira.

[The Original Bamfer]

There's only a ten-year difference between her and Olivia Williams, who played Moira in 'The Last Stand'. :huh:

X3 Moira was a plastic surgeon.

[The Original Bamfer]

She was master at her craft.

From the Filmign Thread:

This guy lives (works?) around pinewood studios"

saw some of X-men filming but couldnt see who the actor was too much crew around em!!! 9:56 AM Aug 27th (https://twitter.com/richbiscuit/status/22268644703) via web is going to the xmen: first class set in a bit!!! about 4 hours ago (https://twitter.com/richbiscuit/status/22615029336) via web wow x-men set was filming! water tanks and fake concentration camps bonanza! about 2 hours ago (https://twitter.com/richbiscuit/status/22624720594) via web https://twitter.com/richbiscuit

Sounds like maybe WW2 Magneto scene

[Deaths Head II]

There's only a ten-year difference between her and Olivia Williams, who played Moira in 'The Last Stand'. :huh:

I think the approximate age of Moira in like 30 seconds of screentime can be ignored.

[The Original Bamfer]

I think the approximate age of Moira in like 30 seconds of screentime can be ignored.

I think the one hour and 49 minutes of the whole film should be ignored.

[Downhere]

I'm not even worried about continuity anymore, I just want a fantastic X-Men movie.

I'm not even worried about continuity anymore, I just want a fantastic X-Men movie.

Amen. My head hurts just trying to sort everything out.

[Loganbabe]

This. I'm keeping myself away from the discussions about timelines and continuity. All I want is a great film, and I'm excited already with the prospect of one. :up:

[Doctor Jones]

Concentration camp filming? Oh hell yes. I'm glad they're doing more of this.

[Schlosser85]

Sir Ian is hardly 'flamboyant'. He didn't come out until he was 49 years old and I would describe him as mannered and dapper rather than overtly gay. You make it sound like he is some kind of screamer!
Ian looked a bit queeny to me as well in the prologue of X3 (incidentally that's about how he dresses IRL). But I've also seen Patrick Stewart acting a bit campy at times, and as far as I know he's straight.

But Ian's also quite commanding....his "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!" in Lord of the Rings is awesomeness personified.

Glad to hear they're showing more of Erik's concentration camp past.

[JP]

Vaughn and Millar were doing radio interviews today in the UK to promote Kick-Ass. Man, I wish I could have heard this:

The interview with Matthew Vaughn on radio 2 about #xmenfirstclass (http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%23xmenfirstclass) had me so hyped!!! Just the mention of the 60s malcom x and casino royal made me giddy!

DAMN YOU ELECTRIX!

EDIT:

Says that he wants to do for X-Men what Casino Royal did for Bond.

Had to cast the younger versions of McKellen and Stewart.

Fox has been great and let him move the production to London.

The movie's going well enough that he's not going to drop out. :p

[Electrix]

SW: How's X-Men: First Class going?

V: I'm going to try to not drop out this time. It's going well enough that i'm not going to drop out. I'm enjoying it, Fox have been great, they've let me move the whole production to England.

SW: Do you understand the whole X-Men thing?

V: Well the comics are huge. They came out during the time of Martin Luther King and Malcom X. Basically using superpowers to show the racial discrimination and the two ways one can deal with it.

SW: Why has it attracted Shakespearean actors such as McKellen and Stewart ?

V: McKellen and Stewart needed a job. But then they loved it and were good at it. They made it their own. That's made my life a lot easier as i'm now casting the young McKellen and Stewart. I've got two phenomenal British actors, which in normal Hollywood movies they wouldn't have allowed me to cast these actors.

SW: So this is a prequel to what we've already seen?

V: What Casino Royale did for Bond where hopefully going to do for X-Men.

[sabetoonth]

so is this a reboot now?

[Electrix]

No. Casino Royale wasn't a reboot it just shook things up a bit.

I watched Casino Royale jsut the other night, and i never have seen another Bond film, so i had no idea what it did exactly

[Electrix]

I watched Casino Royale jsut the other night, and i never have seen another Bond film, so i had no idea what it did exactly

Die Another Day was cheesy, cliche and used too much CGI. Casino Royale made it more Bourne-like, gritty, and it was a great movie. It rejuvenated the franchise.

[sabetoonth]

I did like it, so if thats what this next X-flick is gonna be like, cant wait to see

[Deaths Head II]

Casino Royale was a reboot. In Goldeneye, Bond met Judi Dench's M for the first time and she called him a relic of the Cold War. In CR they focus on Bond immediately after he became a 007. M and Bond seem to have known each other for a while and the films are definitely not taking place during the Cold War.

I don't think that means Vaughn is saying this is going to be a reboot though.

[chaseter]

Casino Royale was not a full reboot and it was not a continuation either. It still had some ties to the previous Bonds but it retold Bond's origins and changed things up a bit. So what I am hearing is that they are going to redo the origins of the X-Men but keep a few lines in with what we have already seen.

I'm down with that. At this point I really don't want them to tie into the other X-men films, now matter how much I liked the first two. I just think it would be easier in regards to continuity and timelines.

If thats the direction they're taking then that would be awesome.

Yeah, though I'm hoping with Vaughn on board we'll have artwork as awesome as Kick-Ass as opposed to the usual slab jobs Fox's art department does. We'll see.

[BMM]

I hope so too.

[Ipodman]

Logo looks fine.

I thought it was gonna be called X-men Origins Origins: First Class. Oh well. :dry:

[Seen]

Vaughn's comments excited me. He seems to be enjoying this. That's good. I also like the Casino Royale comparison. I don't think he meant literally, but how that film rejuvenated the James Bond franchise. After two crappy X-Men films, let's hope X-Men: First Class rejuvenates the X-Men franchise.

[Ipodman]

I think he'll make things slick and fresh again. Some of the action scenes in Wolverine was very poorly done... thinking of action scenes along the lines of Kick Ass is good.

[marvelrobbins]

Just like with Star Trek The Casino Royale compassions should not be taken literal.The 2 craig bond films are designed to be fresh for nonbond fans and
for bond fans be a modern recon of how Bond became the character audences know.At some point the bond films will return Bond to the veteran
agent womanzing driving fast cars drinking vodka martinis shaken not stired
and saving the world.The producers have never claimed this was a full reboot
and all other bond films never happened.Even Casino royale Director
Martin Campbell admitted keeping on Judi dench as M made sense with the
series timeline.

Given that First Class could be Ignoring both Wolverine and The Last Stand
In Film Contunity It may be a refressher but keeping contunity with X-Men
and X2.

[Ipodman]

Given that First Class could be Ignoring both Wolverine and The Last Stand
In Film Contunity It may be a refressher but keeping contunity with X-Men
and X2.

Why would First Class be ignoring Wolverine and The LAst Stand?

[marvelrobbins]

First class apart from Showing Magneto In Holocurst,Mystique as young girl,
and Xavier as Teenager may be set entirely In the 1960's.This conflicts with
certain things

The Last Stand-a still walking Xavier and Magneto went to Young Jean grey's
house yet Xavier and Magneto's falling apart and Xavier being crippled are
going to happen In First Class.Plus having Rose Bryne as Moira In First Class
set In the 1960's and having Olivia Williams as Moira In The Last Stand In the
early 2000's don't jibe together

Wolverine-a Still walking Xavier rescured young cyclops and other mutants.
Now very easy to dismiss the girl as not really Emma Frost but simply as
SIlverfox's sister.

[Ipodman]

I think the major one would be having Xavier walking in X3 and Wolverine. Thanks for pointing it out, I had forgotten about that

[marvelrobbins]

If most of First Class Is et In early 1960's as Bryan singer suggested Wolverine and The Last Stand can't fit with First Class.Of course Wolverine didn't work to make Akali Lake and the Weapon X Lab jibe with what X2 showed.Now considering Matthew vaughn did Interview saying First Class Is prequel to first 3 films it Is possable Singer Is partily misleading us and First Class actully(apart from early Xavier,Mystique,and Magneto scenes) could span from early 1960's to early 1980's

[Ipodman]

You mean the movie spans all the way to the flashback in X3 where he's still walking?

[marvelrobbins]

If Bryan Singer Is Indeed Misleading us and Matthew Vaughn's comments about First Class In contunity with the first 3 films are correct I can see
apart from Boy Magneto,Young girl Mystique and Teenage Xavier the film
set during early 1960's Introducing adult Xavier and Magneto,their meeting
and beguin their friendship,how the times lead them to work together,possaily some stuff with Sebsastan Shaw,and Mystique as well and then cut to
early 1980's with Bald Xavier,and Magneto running the school.The Hellfire Club
was Introduced In the comics In 1980.It can work In early 1980's.Plus this
would allow for Havoc and not cyclops to work better.Plus It allows certain things from Last Stand to still fit(Like Xavier walking In begining and having
Rose Bryne as Moira In early 1980's and then with Olivia Williams as Moira In early 2000's would be easier to buy) In contuity.

Right now X-Men and X2 are the only X-Men films we know for sure First Class
Is In contunity with.The Last Stand and Wolverine may be Ignored.It Is also
possable only WOlverine Is ignored.The question won't be entirely known untill we know If First Class takes place entirely In the 1960's or rather It also has scenes taking place later which would allow at least The Last Stand to be In Continuity.However I suspect most fans don't mind ignoring the last stand and Wolverine(well except those claiming for reboot or excepting fox to throw away a huge franchise like X-Men to Marvel/Disney) as long as X-men
and X2 are still In Contunity.While I liked Sabretooth In Wolverine and both
Kelsey Grammer and Ellen Page In The Last Stand I am totally willing to ignore those films.

I'm tired of this continuity debate.

[Mogwai]

lol. One minute, everyone was getting all antsy and scared about continuity issues, but now that things are starting move forward, everyone wants to forget all about it. :D

Not surprising...

[JP]

I just can't worry about something that may not even be prevalent. I'll worry about it after I see the film.

[Kane52630]

I havent been following this awful conversation, is this in continuity or not?

[Crockett]

Is in continuity with X1 and X2, but not sure if is the same with X3 and Wolverine.

[TNC9852002]

No one knows anything about the continuity yet!

[succumbtofear]

i'm just going to enjoy it for what it is and not worry about continuity. i'm sure they'll do their best to make it work.

I agree with you on this one, regardless to if a film lives up to the original, or follows the exact continuity, my biggest interest is in if the film can be enjoyable for itself.

As a kid I always enjoyed movies for what they were. I didn't much care about continuity errors or whatnot. That being said, the first film that I ever saw and was able to flat out say "Wow, that sucked!" was Mortal Kombat 2, it's long weird A-title that to this day I can't even be arsed to spell out xD

The continuity bothered me there in the fact that it picked up literally seconds after the last left off, but so much was ignored! Suddenly Raiden is in a pony-tail, Liu has a random white tanktop, Sonya is fully dressed, and the sunglasses that built up such a funny line when they were destroyed in the original are suddenly replaced. Plus killing off the fan favorite, Johnny Cage, caused everyone in the theater to just scoff.

Point being, that film set a pretty bad path for me. It opened my eyes to bad plot, bad writing, horrible continuity, and poor direction. All together, a sucky movie. As a sequel, and as a stand alone.

Now - getting back on topic here xD When I heard that X-men was coming together for a new film that predates them all (in a matter of speaking. I guess technically Wolverine would be the ultimate pre-date since it starts so early on. Anyway.) I was really excited. It was the short-introduction scenes in the first X-men film that caught my interest - seeing Scott and Jean training, Pyro and Iceman trying to impress the new girl. I'm a character development kind of guy, always have been. I love just diving deep into a characters personality and backstory, and seeing what happened in his origin that made him the man he is today. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, and all that.

But ... The more I found out about this film, the less, and less ... and less, I've become enthusastic about it. When first class comes to mind, I think what most comic readers think. The First Class of X-men. Cyclops. Jean. Angel. Iceman. Beast... Given. When I found out such other characters were being added, I said eh, okay, maybe it's still a good idea. Take us back all the way to the beginning. Why not.

Casting isn't horrible, but it's not exactly thrilling for my taste. The one thing that has always bugged me with continuty in the films was the decesion to totally ignore characters Origins. Storm, being the worse. I'm not a Berry fan, I'm sorry. But Colossus is from Russia, and only has like three lines anyway. The actor even auditioned with an attempted accent. But he might as well be born and raised American in the film. The list goes on, what I will say was that I dropped to my knees in praise when I heard Alan Cumming first speak as Nightcrawler to hear a German accent. That's what makes fans happy, being faithful!

No more digressing - what I came here to say is that I agree with the above user. Though I already have my turn-offs from this film, I'm willing to give it a chance and see it myself. I'm not one to judge anything based on others opinions or assumptions based on speculations. As an avid movie fan and devoted comic reader, I want to see this movie and view it as a film itself - prequel, sequel, reboot, remake, whatever nifty title they want it to be called be damned. If the movie can stand on it's own and tell an interesting, faithful tale to the characters origins, then I'll praise it for my actual liking. That's the only real contunity I care about when it comes to these films, accurate adaptations. Thank you.

(PS: Sorry my posts are so long! I hardly ever have time to sign in and when I do, I tend to have a lot on my mind to speak! Thank you!)

Everyone kinda assumed it would be in conintuity but Vaughn threw us for a loop when he mentioned Casino Royale

I agree. I'm just gonna enjoy the movie and not give a **** about whether or not it gels with the others

[Doctor Jones]

By the time this is released, especially if it's good, no one will care about the continuity. I just want to see a great film. Same with Banner and the Avengers. It's a bigger gap, but Ruffalo is a great actor and is Whedon's Banner. If this movie is good and he is a good Banner then no one will really complain.

[Deaths Head II]

I wouldn't be surprised if Fox is purposefully waiting to see if this is financially successful before making it clear if it was a reboot or not. If they announced it as a reboot now and it bombed then they would have thrown away their previous continuity for nothing. But if it bombs and they claim it was just a prequel with some continuity gaffs then they can go ahead and make a sequel to X3 about Wolverine's son or clone or whatever. Besides, the general audience can tell the difference between a prequel and reboot as well as they can tell the difference between a sequel and a reboot (TIH). Just look at all the people that thought Batman Begins was a prequel for the longest time.

All I hope is that the recast is worth it. I was fine with Don Cheadle replacing Howard but then Cheadle ended up delivering one of his most "meh" performances. I hope Whedon does something good with Ruffalo.

Wait people are stressing bout continuity when Both Star Trek and Casino Royale has been said to be infuences on the direction of the film?

Continuity is an issue for those who want the film to fit alongside the others, (like myself who wants it to jive with the first and second films.) We understand that they've compared it to those films, but that doesn't give us any clear answer as to whether or not it's a full-on reboot (like I consider 'Star Trek') to be, a full-on prequel to some-or-all of the existing series, or something in between (like 'Casino Royale'.)

[The Original Bamfer]

Yeah like Wolverine. That's why, barring some timeline discrepancies, we won't get mutants that were only introduced in the trilogy, including X-3 mutants, or any other glaring contradictions to X-3 and Wolverine to a lesser extent. If it's a hit I am sure they can take more liberties in the sequel.

[Phoenix_Flare]

They've never said that it's an entirely fresh start.

And people are allowed to feel how they feel.


I didn't mean to be rude...its getting to the point where so many people want this film to be like what we saw in X1-X2, and to some account Wolverine...

they have to release that X1-Wolverine is kind of set in the future with Wolverine taking place in the 80s for the remainder of the movie, so people need to get out of what was given to us in those future movies, since this film is going back to the past...a lot from the past to the future can change and in given time ie sequels more of those will or will not be explained....

I think people are taking what Vaughn/Singer have said about this film to the extreme, I think this film will follow the tone/story of X1-X2 that was sorely missing in X3 and Wolverine

whether this film is consistent with what we saw in those films is irrelevant because this particulat film is set in the past....hence what I mean by a "fresh start"

[Ipodman]

If First Class follows the tone of X1&2, thats great. But Vaughn has his own style as seen in Kickass, and I think thats fine.

[louiebling$]

It doesn't matter to either way, I loved X1 and X2 and both share a very special place in my hert nd I wouldn't mind to see it continued(like Casino Royal Minus X3) but I honestly wouldn't mind a reboot ala Star Trek.


I'm in different to it.

[chaseter]

I don't care about continuity anymore and I would rather them not be forced to adhere to it. Now if this was X3, then yes...I would be a stickler for continuity. But we have had Wolverine that threw a bunch of crap into the mix and I would rather not have Singer and Vaughn be forced to connect the dots that Wolverine put up on the board. It is time for this franchise to get a jolt to reinvigorate it and if they are going Casino Royale/Trek then more power to them.

The Thing with contunity Is First Class Is defently prequel to X-Men and X2.We can pretty much agree they are Ignoring wolverine.And it may or may not be prequel to the last Stand.We probally won't know for sure till First Class Is out or Inless Jane Goldman's draft of First Class Is leaked.As long as First Class Is prequel to Singer's films They can throw the other films out for all I care.First class Is my most anticapted film of next year as long
as not a complete rebboot.It will probally beat green Lantern and Captain America In quality as far as I am concerned(although Joss whedon doing script work Is something Captain America has In it's favor)

[chaseter]

If they were disregarding Wolverine and X3...Angel would be in this. That is unless the sequel to this is the actual First X-Men and this movie is just about Erik and Charles.

What if we get news that all the casting is correct but the parts they are playing are maybe wrong?
Like the characters that we were told were going to be in the movie aren't right. We all were just told different names to throw us off while they were making it. Like when Batman Begins was titled Intimidation Games and Runaways might be titled Little Faces.

[Deaths Head II]

I heard that theory tossed around by people claiming Hoult is too small to play Beast, Angel is a random choice so Zoe might be playing Storm, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if they were trying to throw us off.

[marvelrobbins]

There Is no time traveling.Some take comparisons to Star Trek or Casino royale too
literal.This Is like X-Men begins but Instead of reboot or time traveling causing alternate
timeline this Is In Contunity with X-Men,and x2 and apparently X-Men the Last Stand(however we can't be 100 percent sure on last one till eather a script leak or the film comes out) and based on comments by some on boards I guarante you If this was a reboot they would use more well known characters like Cyclops,Jean,Angel,or one or 2 of the new X-Men from the 1970's.

[The Original Bamfer]

Vaughn's either alluding to Jean and Scott being in the film, or doesn't want to tell us that they're not so it doesn't turn some fans off from seeing it.

And for all that speculation...we learned that he was offed in the first 10 minutes of the movie. LOL :o

[Deaths Head II]

To be honest, I realized Scott was toast as soon as I saw the second trailer, seeing as the only scenes we saw of him were him at the lake he was supposed to die at. I also realized Weapon XI Deadpool was real after seeing the split second of him in the first Wolverine trailer. So if there's anything I learned is trust my gut feeling when watching the trailer.

That trailer was very spoilerific - it ruined the surprise of Mystique getting cured, it showed us the funeral (though they didn't show whose it was, for good reason), though using that clip from Alcatraz, where the six X-Men are lined up was clever, because through the fog you couldn't tell just how many of them were there. It probably got Rogue and Cyclops fans' hopes up to think that they'd be involved in an epic final battle.

I'm trying to stay as far away from spoiling this movie for myself, though. I ruined X3 and Wolverine and I really want to go into this movie as fresh as I can, so once filming really kicks in, I'm probably going to steer clear from news and speculation threads like these. I went into X3 knowing that Rogue, Cyke, and Mystique weren't going to be in it much, because of the extensive news reports, so whether January Jones ends up just being a cameo, or Kevin Bacon ends up playing Maggott, I'm going to try to keep away from finding out too much of the behind the scenes stuff.

The Original Bamfer?

[The Original Bamfer]

I wish. :o

Nevermind, I looked at more pictures, and the dude's old and balding. But he could be someone important?! Nah, probably not.

[JP]

OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD.

:eek:

[the a1ant]

Her face looks perfect in the first shot. So cold and calculating...perfect!

[JP]

It's so perfect. So Emma. So 60's. So WHITE QUEEN.

Why is there more than one Emma? They aren't doing the Cuckoos are they?

[The Original Bamfer]

I was assuming the second was a stunt double.

[BMM]

Ha! Awesome. I'm even more excited to see the rest of the cast now.

[the a1ant]

The guy with the striped pants and boots is a Russian guard/ solider..

[Compi716]

Jones is lookin' gooooood.

[Lunar_Wolf]

I wanna sleep on that hat!

Costume needs less fabric...a lot less. Make it so!

[JP]

Well, what's under that jacket?

[BMM]

Exactly.

[Kane52630]

Well, what's under that jacket?

boobs?

[chaseter]

Well, what's under that jacket?

I need to see to confirm this:fhm:

[JP]

Well, she's apparently in Russ!a, where it's freezing. And she's wearing that. Imagine what she wears indoors. :awesome:

[chaseter]

I can't imagine...must...have...pictures noooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwww. Someone run over there and run off with her coat.

[Kane52630]

Well, she's apparently in Russia, where it's freezing. And she's wearing that. Imagine what she wears indoors. :awesome:

In Russia, Frost freezes you!

[marvelrobbins]

This totally captures the White Queen version of Emma Frost.Maybe she goes around trying to recruit mutants before Xavier and Magneto do.

[The Wizard]

Where was it said she was in Russia?

[SuperT]

I'm guessing JP is assuming that this scene is taking place in Russia since there's a guy standing there dressed as a Russian soldier.

[gdw]

Have we figured out how Emma can be in the 60's even though she was in Wolverine?

They cut Scott because of the time difference, but not Frost. Or does she not age?

[JP]

Because Emma Silverfox was in Wolverine as a cameo and a failed attempt at fan pandering.
