Especially for the second movie that film was pretty balanced for most of the characters, except for Cyclops.

Poor Cyclops... most shafted hero in a superhero movie series.

Well I just hope he's not bishop.

Yup!

I don't think its that hard to introduce 1 new mutant in the movie. They always introduce a new mutant everytime they do a new X-Men movie and just because the OT cast/First Class cast are appearing in the movie, it doesn't mean they should stop themselves from introducing new characters.

Like someone else mentioned, Hobbit1 already crossed $300m. I think TASM2 will hold around the same as the first ($262m).

You're completely forgetting about other competition like Transformers 4 & The Hunger Games: Mockingjay p1, Bond 24 (unless it's moved back).

Other potential mid-$200m films:

How to Train Your Dragon 2
Cap:TWS
Pixar Dinosaur film
Guardians of the Galaxy

I doubt Guardians of the Galaxy will cross the $200 million mark at domestic box-office.

There's also the fact that film has a grain that some viewers expect out of movies while others enjoy the "clarity" (or lack of grain) in digital pictures.

It's also widely held that the resolution of digital images is below that of film and while digital film is projected at 2K resolution, higher than that of our 1080p televisions, film itself is much higher than that.

It should be noted that I'm no expert, this is information culled from the internet that I very well could have interpreted incorrectly.

Furthermore, Singer mentioned yesterday that he is using some of this kind of technology:

Thanks for explaining! I hope they don't go digital!

Because you don't think the actor fits or you just don't want Bishop? He doesn't give off much of a Bishop vibe to me but I don't know much about the actor so anything is possible. I'd love to see Bishop but only if he can somehow fit into this story well. Otherwise I can wait for a future film.

[psylockolussus]

Without the competition from There and Back Again and Brett Ratner's film opening one week later, I hope DOFP tops the box-office for two weeks! And if the movie ends up really good and people really loved it, I could see it getting the #1 spot for 3 straight weeks and Guardians of the Galaxy would just open at #2.

Because I don't want Bishop In film.I want them to look at comic version of DOFP not animated version.Plus I don't want Bishop as time traveler.

The only way I could see of Bishop making the cut and not take time away from OT cast If It's like Wolverine and the X-Men and have Bishop Introduced
as mutant working with Wolverine and Xavier.The worst thing would be Bishop as Time traveler.

A lot of Europeans are bi-lingual, with English being their 2nd language.

Most Briton's are not bi-lingual, other than knowing how to order a 'Cerveva Grande' in Spain...

God, another cast member. This is ridiculous. I don't even know why they are bringing back the First Class cast. This seems like a pretty damn crowded movie movie and seems like a covert X-Men 4 than anything else with time Star Trek-ish traveling elements so that X3 can be wiped out.

[BMM]

This is still the smallest X-Men cast yet, and we don't even know the extent of the roles these people will have.

Because they play a big part in the plot.

Young Xavier
Young Magneto
Beast
Mystique
Old Xavier
Old Magneto
Wolverine
Storm*
Iceman
Rogue
Kitty
Dinklage
Sy

There are 13* characters/cast members, and for a film like this, that's hardly crowded.



*Waiting for 10% confirmation

I'm not worried yet. Some of these other X-Men films have had larger casts.

Actually, it's only 11 cast members.

It's important to remember that Xavier and Magneto are each *one* character. Flashbacks featuring a different actor doesn't count for separate characters.

[georgec]

I still think the FC cast will be the focus. It's going to be their story.

Well, it's 13 cast members and 11 characters, but *shrugs*

[marvelrobbins]

Plus we know Nixon will be actual character not just In newsreels but we don't who Is playing him.

Its not gonna be a 100% adaptation of the comic-book storyline. And I doubt Bryan Singer has seen the animated series. And even if Bishop ends up as the time traveler, I doubt he would time travel alone. It would be a waste opportunity not to do a scene with the OT cast/FC cast together.

If this movie ends up being "X-Men 4" then I'd be thrilled. As for the FC cast, I think most of them will be back. They already signed a 3-film contract with FOX. Bryan Singer probably won't announce if they are back for this movie.

He has, he's mentioned it several times in the past.

How is that news? When Singer agreed to take helm of DoFP from Matthew Vaughn, it was guaranteed Ottman would come along to score and co-edit the film. They have a Burton/Elfman and Spielberg/Williams kind of collaboration.

The only time Ottman didn't score Singer's film was the first X-Men, and that was because Ottman was busy wearing three hats for Urban Legends: Final Cut (director/editor/composer).
