when you look at what they done to iceman and what they may do to the other Xmen makes me sad cyclops was killed off, he probably would have been quite a badass in this film

sad times... ah well

And then at some point it feels like actors don't chance how they look for a decade or so. I saw this commercial with Hugo Weaving, and I can't believe his characters still looks like he did in The Matrix movies.

True. Though to be fair, Weaving and Depp are friggin chameleons anyway :haha:

But yes exactly -- I don't really see the big deal with different actors playing the same character at different ages.

I don't mind different actors at all when they're not in the same movie.

To be honest, it's a much better idea than going the Brad Pitt / Benjamin Button way of things.

If I see James McAvoy and Patrick Stewart in the same frame at the theater I can tell you now it's gonna take me out of the movie. I'm gonna be subconsciously thinking that James' Xavier had plastic surgery to get the thin lips of Patrick's Xavier. Along with a nose job, etc. Really, they don't even remotely favor. They just really couldn't look more different.

So the X-Men story itself, the Sentinels, the fact that OT and FC are being brought together -- all of that wouldn't matter at all if you see McAvoy and Stewart in the same frame? Isn't that a bit extreme? That will not get you peace my friend...

Omg! That SO reminds me of his Wolverine and the X Men look... The same series where Xavier communicated telepathically from the future to save the world... Hmmm

YES! Though, to be honest, I hope that even if he's comunicating from the future, it's only with his younger self or something. I dunno.

singer isn't ignoring X3 he has made that pretty clear so how can he ignore that scene like it never happened, it would stand out as being odd

does seem like he will be pretty respectful to X3...

If we consider the possibility that Prof. X is merely a psychological projection in the DoFP future post-X3, it doesn't matter if he has a twin or whoever that comatose guy was at X3. And plus, he's a telepath, he could make everyone see him in his old form anyway -- if that's indeed the case, it'd make for an interesting dialogue between him and Mystique (whose own discomfort with appearances would be a welcome character analysis or some such).

What I love is that Singer isnt' disregarding anything and still trying to make this work. Kudos on him for doing that -- the X-Men film franchise is fast becoming a continuity terror that's similar to its comic-counterpart, as well as having spin-off-titles and crossovers (didn't the X-Men start that trend off or something?) So yeah. All good.

I'm fine with the twin swap thing. This film is about "fixing" things anyway and truth be told at least 2 of those X3 deaths shouldn't have happened anyway.

No. See, a film should be a film about something else, not about "fixing the franchise" -- if that's the purpose then they shouldn't be making the movie. They should start from a story they feel like they've found worth telling, and yes, they have. The entirety of X3 shouldn't have happened, but it seems like Singer is manning up and saying "well tough luck guys, it did. Now let's see what we can still do with this thing."

I don't mind it one bit.

Seeing ur siggy man but i don't see Halle Berry? What's going on here?

Except for the part where Singer admitted this film will "fix some ****", of course.

 

[Duran Man]

Part of that **** of course being what happened to Cyclops..

 

[marvelrobbins]

He Is wearing similar outfit as Patrick Stewert.We may have seen the future outfits.Going from leather to black wool.Or outfits similar to what Xavier used In Wolverine and the X-Men.

The more colorful outfits are for 1973 era of film.

Shawn Ashmore has had a beard for quite some time In real life so they let him use It for film.And we know Iceman will be Iceed up.It will be great to see Iceman In Iceform In one of Bryan's films.

 

[Angamb]

Did you guys notice the white part of his arm on the left side???

I think this could be a hint that his costume design will play with black and white.. In a similar way to FC which combined blue and yellow, but in Iceman's case, black and white.

Maybe the other x-men from the future will combine another colour with black! With black being the main one and the union of all x-men, but each one with a distintive colour, just like the comics.

After this, Im sure the costumes will be much more than just a full black costume.

 

[Mulholland-Jr]

I wonder if Nicholas Hoult is up there, since he got his Beast photo snapped.

 

[The Infernal]

Ashmore's look (what we can see of it) looks pretty interesting. It seems black is still a major feature of the costumes which is a bit of a shame, but overall they seem to be of a better quality than the original trilogy costumes.

 

[Iceman]

The Iceman pic looks promising. The beard suggests they are possibly trying to differentiate from young Iceman and go a bit more mature. Looks fine so far.

2 things i find interesting

1. the beard gives the idea of someone who has been through a hard time, looks kinda stressed

2. looks like they added some tracking things to his face... ice form maybe? YAY ICE BEARD!! joke... but seriously looks like they are gonna do something to his face

Good point on the stuff on his face. Could well be tracking for his Iceman face. I need to know! Could they be anything else? Anyone?

Perhaps they're also time travel stickers.

 

[Iceman]

Perhaps they're also time travel stickers.

Sorry, what would that mean exactly? Like how his face will change as he travels through time?

 

[By your Command]

Yeah it definitely seems that while they are not going for black leather, the future looks pretty full of black fabric.

 

[Angamb]

read all the comments, guys, lol

The costume has white parts too, look at his right arm

 

[Figs]

Iceman will be icing up! Awesome. Ice slide, too???

Using the ice slide in this next film would be glorious! I hope it happens.

 

[Great Mind(s)]

I'm diggin it. Bearded Iceman is no longer a student, he became an X-Man at the end of X2...but now he's a veteran!

 

[lastairbender]

It seems Bryan keeps teasing us every 2 days...what to expect thursday

Next year is becoming huge in terms of movie blockbusters... what a summer.. Now we've got yet another Fast and Furious the week before X-men...hope it isnt too much for people. i want this movie to become Huuuuge!

 

[By your Command]

I have to say that every pic has been really good, and yeah the white in the arm is... I just can't wait to see the whole thing.

 

[Angamb]

would be awesome if the full costume is a BIT similar to this, but with black instead of blue:

Spoiler

this is pretty much the FC design (not colours), except for the legs being all blue.

So would love if this Iceman new costume has more white parts on the chest, arms, and maybe just maybe a bit on the legs. It would make it more iconic looking.

 

[By your Command]

That's a pretty good look, but I think they have to make it more depressing, he is looking beardy and depressing after all.

 

[Angamb]

the pic may be a bit 'depressing' to some fans, but his beard is really well cut, and the hair is typical modern guy cut, and similar to comics Iceman.

I dont see a depressing/dirty/tired Iceman at all on this pic.

To me its just adult Bobby with a dirty costume after a heavy fight
