Days of Future Past Actors from original trilogy on First Class sequel with Days of Future Past

[The Batman]

No thanks. Two wrongs don’t make a right and, if Cyclops were to occupy Wolverine’s actual role in Days of Future Past, it would just mean he gets obliterated by sentinels. I don’t need to see Cyclops die again.

So you'd rather see Wolverine eat up screentime yet again while Cyclops is on the backburner.

Gotcha.

And the two wrongs would be giving Hugh Jackman yet another prominent role when already dominated the previous trilogy and has two solo films of his own. At least with Cyclops, I can trust that it would be an actual ensemble movie.

I don't understand why the only 2 options are a) No Wolverine or b) Wolverine as the star of the film.

 

[The Batman]

^ Because that's what generally happens in a Fox produced X-Men movie where Hugh Jackman has more than a cameo?

If they somehow actually make this more of an ensemble film, great....but Hugh Jackman has been established as one of, if not the main draw of these films. If he's in the movie, he'll most likely be the star of it.

 

[JP]

This is still a FIRST CLASS sequel. Fassbender, Lawrence, and McAvoy are the stars, and will remain the stars no matter who they add. And that includes Jackman and Berry.

 

[The Batman]

^ I mean, I'd like to believe that, but Jackman is a bigger name than any of those guys. But fox has changed, so maybe they'll actually make this more ensemble based.

 

[Majik1387]

Doesn't matter if Jackman is a bigger name, he's getting his own solo movie again; I highly doubt they will make him larger than McAvoy, Fassbender, and Lawrence.

Hopefully. The films where he dominated (X3, XMO: Wolverine) were the worst and the one where he had the tiniest role (First Class) was among Wolverine's best appearances! Less is more, as they say.

 

[kewlmatto]

Am I the only one who feels this Days of Future Past would be a good thing for the X-franchise. By doing something in the past with First Class, it would totally change the future trilogy (the original trilogy) creating a virtual Tabula Rasa where in effect Cyclops, Jean, and Charles are still alive, Mystique never lost her powers and X3 never happened (or X1 & X2). This story could set up a new status quo for the franchise.

I generally agree. It's actually a clever move by Fox to keep the franchise going without completely 'rebooting'.

But it does have the potential to become very convoluted if not done well. Still, I have faith that Vaughn will deliver a good film.

probablybecause he is the star of the storyline

 

[X-Maniac]

He's almost certain to be in the next X-Men team movie, but I hope the screentime is fair and balanced and the characterisation correct. He was made to be too central in X3. First Class proves he is just as memorable with not very much screentime at all!

 

[Snikt]

I'm really wanting some casting news . To me, it makes sense for Jackman to go from The Wolverine to DOFP. He'd already be in shape for Wolverine and I'm sure he wouldn't have to be there for the entire five to six month shoot they'll probably have.

But there should be a day where it stops for once and for all.

And this is the right time.

Wolverine can be a supporter role, the same as Storm, or any other x-men in the future.

 

[Duran Man]

Most of the action will take place in the present, so if Wolverine does appear in the movie, a good way to keep him from taking the spotlight is by keeping him in the future. If they make him the time traveller, then get ready to see him as the star of the show again.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Jackman's cool. I feel like he wouldn't have a problem making a small appearance where a futuristic Wolverine gets fried. I've never seen any indication where he's tried to hog screentime or anything, they've just written the roles that way.

 

[X-Maniac]

Wolverine already exists in the First Class era, as we saw him in that bar. How will they deal with that?

Does the 60s version become involved in the story again, or just disappear never to be mentioned?

This is always the problem with cameos in these films. They prove to be hurdles later on.

 

[Spider-Fan83]

well, that would've been right around the time he enlisted an was shipped off to the war, so, he wouldn't be around, anyway

For me that scene was merely a cameo. Even if Magneto/Professor X mentioned about it to the future Wolverine, Wolverine wouldn't remember about it because of his memory loss.

 

[Great Mind(s)]

I also doubt Magneto or Xavier remember that Wolverine is the same random guy they came up to in a bar 40 years ago...

 

[Spider-Fan83]

he wasn't just some random guy, at least not to Xavier who personally tracked him down with cerebro, through which he clams to connect to the individuals... so I am sure that not something he'd just forget about

though, that does kinda make me question why he wasted his time approaching him at all, having made such a connect and knowing what he was like

But from the first 2 X-Men films we already get the sense that Magneto and Xavier know a lot about Wolverine.

As for Logan himself... if someone came an introduced themselves to you at a bar for 3 seconds 40 years ago, would you remember their exact names in the present?

I've had full conversations with people at bars for hours whom I not only don't remember their names, but I probably wouldn't even remember their face if I ran into them today.

 

[Spider-Fan83]

I'm not saying Wolverine would remember them

plus that was before he loss his memory


but, that's an interesting point about how Magneto and Xavier did seem to know alot about wolverine (Xavier I could see cause he read his mind) but, Magneto knowing would suggestion past interaction with him (more then just running into him in a bar that one time) could their knowledge of him, be based on there interaction with future wolverine coming to the past

 

[huzzah]

I thought Magneto and Xavier/Cerebro identified Wolverine as a mutant and not just a random person in a bar.

If Fox will go through the storyline, I think Hugh Jackman will have a role of some sort as Wolverine in DoFP. The only actors I want returning would be Shawn Ashmore, Anna Paquin, Famke Janssen, Daniel Cudman, and James Marsden.

I mean, the new cast members like Fassbender, McAvoy, Lawrence, et al are going to be hard to juggle as it is. Might as well keep the amount of returning actors to a minimum.

 

[marvelrobbins]

Anna Paquin Is defently out.True Blood starts filming In January.Famke Janssen won't be back.Bringing back Ian Mckellan could also run Into trouble.It depends when DOFP goes Into production and when addational Filming for the Hobbit begins.

Hugh Jackman will probally appear.Now rather he only appears In future sequenze or rather he Is also time traveler Is up In air.James Marsden appearing depends on one thing.Are they going to only consider X-Men and X2 to connect First Class or Is Last Stand as well.The sentinles future will almost certinly be used to connect First Class to earlier films.The question remains which ones.Besides Time traveler the returning actors will be expanded Cameos.I think Halle Berry and Patrick Stewert are likely.
Besides Jackman and Mckellan the more obvious possibiltys are Shawn Ashmore,Daniel Cudman,and possibly Rebecca Romijn.

Will they try ot get Ellen Page back?That Is big unknown.

The big players from the original trilogy were Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart. If Fox want to create an Avengers-style event team-up movie most (if not all) will need to be involved somehow.

Seeing Iceman, Colossus and Shadowcast etc. again would be cool speaking as an X-Men fan, but they're unlikely to be included unless they serve a purpose in the story. I can see some characters from First Class (Angel, Riptide) getting the chop just to even things out a bit.
