The loss of Banshee and Havok could be interpreted as Singer trying to trim the cast. I don't think it was solely his decision to bring the two casts together. Fox must have been a little disappointed that the "preboot" didn't catch on with everyone so they probably asked for Wolverine (and maybe others) to be included in the next outing. And I imagine that's how DOFP got brought into the equation. So now they're left to trim the fat, so to speak. I just think you shouldn't be too hasty to just say things will happen without adequate explanation... again, adequate is up to opinion. You said it yourself that the 11 years could be the explanation they end up using. I would be fine with that as long as they tie it in to what Xavier had (or had not) been doing in those years with respect to the school. And yes, there are frustrations... ranging from understandable to obsessive. I would interpret most as obsessive (when compared to a "normal" moviegoer, of course), but again that's my opinion so I do think my points are valid. |

He must have been doing something. Firstly, he would need to have modifications done for his disability, such as elevators. He wouldn't really be able to find any students without Cerebro to track mutant runaways/orphans etc, and he wouldn't be able to run a proper school without having more teaching staff. At what point did he/will he build a new Cerebro, have the lower levels modified the way we saw them in the original trilogy, and get a new X-jet? At what point does he decide an X-Men taskforce/team is necessary?

How can you guys be upset over not having Banshee, Havok, Emma, Riptide, Angel etc. in this movie? The teenage 'xmen' and hellfire club were the worst parts of First Class. McAvoy and Fassbender saved that movie.
DOFP is becoming more and more X4, and I'm loving it. |

I won't speak for the others, but what I'm puzzled about (I wouldn't say I'm upset) is that if Havok and Banshee are not returning, then who are the X-Men in 1973? If Havok and Banshee were removed to make room for new characters, then it seems foolish to me that they'd go with introducing new characters rather than continue with these two. They may not have done or said much, but they were still part of FC and the audience must have some modicum of familiarity with them, much more than any new characters that would replace them. Having said that, if a significant number of the future cast or younger versions of familiar characters join Beast, then, to me at least, Havok and Banshee's absence would be justified. So basically: A) Havok and Banshee out, new characters in ![]() B) Havok and Banshee out, future cast in ![]() C) Havok and Banshee out, Scott, Jean, and Storm in ![]() |

I think this whole thing with the characters from XMFC is not that big a deal.
I personally feel that the main X-Men from from X3, including Rogue, is needed. They were the last remnants of the X-Men in that film, so it'd make sense they'd appear again. As far as the Brotherhood go, for the future/present, I'm fine with just Magneto appearing. Past, Just Magneto and Mystique appearing is fine as well. It's already been established in this series that they basically operate by the mindset that everyone else in there group is expendable. And they were the main focus of the Brotherhood anyway, especially in X2. Overall, for both sides, its better just not to introduce new characters who have joined the X-Men or the Brotherhood since we last saw them. It benefits the story more to just have characters that we already know, so we can just jump into the main conflict of the film. As far as the X-Men in the past go, eh, its tricky. Maybe they should have brought Havok and Banshee back, but we'll see. it all depends on the story. I don't think they will be necessary. Last edited by SpideyFan866; 03-31-2013 at 07:25 PM. |

I started believing that Scott, Storm and Jean were going to be part of the 1970s team the instant that Halle Berry was cast for this film. Because bascially now all of the older, future X-Men (Xavier, Logan, Storm, Magneto) could have past counterparts, which would really up the ante to save their own future. This could be further solidified if Rebecca is cast opposite Jennifer Lawrence.
And since I'm pretty sure that Scott and Jean's deaths are on the list of things Bryan Singer regrets, if he also cast them in the past that could also open up doors to "fix s***" in the future. But then again, tomorrow is April 1st and yet no new casting news... ![]() |

....I'm not surprised about Banshee and most likely Havok not popping up.
When it comes to the X-Films, Fox only cares about Wolverine, Professor X, and Magneto. Mystique has been lucky: not only has her cinematic incarnation been a fan pleasing character, now she's being portrayed by an oscar winning actress, which is the same reason why Storm gets some scraps. Everyone else is either a walking special effect or a plot device used when the filmmakers wanna convey a specific idea, and they don't mind changing the character to suit their whims. Also, I dont think Scott, Jean, and Ororo will pop up in the early 70's. Singer's OT is supposed to take place in the later part of the 2000's, and Xavier dosent find Scott and Jean until they late 70's/80's. Then again, there have been so many contradictions anyway.

As much as I enjoy Banshee and Havok, I'm not too bothered by their absences (unless, as Duran Man said, they introduce us to a slew of new mutants). The X-Men films have carried over every. single. X-Man from X-Men to X-Men: The Last Stand, dropping only Nightcrawler, and what happened? There wasn't enough time to properly develop them all. The film suffered, and fans complained. Now, they're seemingly trimming down less important characters to focus on the ones who do matter, and fans are complaining. It's a lose-lose situation, and I think it always will be.
Also, keep 1970s versions of Cyclops, Storm, and Jean out. This film is already balancing younger versions of Professor X, Magneto, Beast, and Mystique, as well as future versions of Professor X, Magneto, Wolverine, Storm, Rogue, Kitty Pryde, Iceman, and Colossus, with newcomers, Boo Boo Stewart, Fan BingBing, Omar Sy, as well as villains Peter Dinklage, the sentinels, and possibly Apocalypse. That is more than enough. Last edited by BMM; 03-31-2013 at 08:12 PM. |

What I think is likely to happen though is that they'll just bring in brand new secondary characters who will never be seen again outside of DoFP and who'll get little chance for any real development with everything else going on. |

Yeah, I can't imagine there is going to be no 1970's X-Men theme after 10+ years of the school being open, which there can't be if Beast is the only X-Man still around. I have a feeling this is just going to lead to a bunch of background mutants, and if that's the case I'd rather they bring back characters that have already been established in a film instead of introducing guys just for their power set. I have no desire for any more X3 Psylockes or Multiple Mans.

I wonder who, if any, real-life figures will be referenced in the film at all?

Not to say it won't be in DOFP's best intentions to ditch them, but letting go of some of the FC team is a bummer because that's more then likely all that will ever become of those characters. If they don't come back here it's probably safe to say thats it for them. Last edited by def28; 04-01-2013 at 01:10 AM. |

In DOFP, I figure the OT team really won't be developed much further but hopefully each will have at least a few scenes/character moments so we can get a sense of how they've grown from last we saw them. And of course the Sentinels! The time traveler (or travelers) will probably have a significant role. That leaves the focus on McAvoy, Fassbender, Lawrence, and Hoult in the 70s. Dinklage will be the main villain. And maybe a few surprise characters. On a side note, I JUST remembered Angel Salvatore and how nobody has mentioned her character not returning hahahahaha! |
