Could X3 Be Wolverine's "Last Stand"?

Why is Emma Frost and Cyclops on the cover???
Cyclops is still very popular and visually i guess the marketing team thought Emma Frost was eyecatching enough to grab people's attention. It really isn't about screentime where these posters are concerned.:o
 
A lot of people have said that he looked like Laurie and someone even did a manip and I can now see why they thought that.
 
I see the resemblance to Hugh Laurie. There was this one shot of Laurie for House that looks similar. Forgot where I saw it.
 
Because...they're in the movie? :p ;)

At least they're not wearing uniforms.
If I had not seen the leak then I would assume that they played a big part in the movie and then when I went and saw it I would go wtf:cmad:

Aside from showing that same scene of her going into crystal form there isn't much else that is "eyecatching" about her. Now if they would have made her a bit more like the comics, you know a more mature and sexier woman who you look at and know she's going to be rough and wild in the sack...yeah now THAT would be more eyecatching.
 
I haven't seen a post this great on this side of the boards in a minute...then again I haven't really checked this side of the boards since X3 came out and every body and they grandma came on here ranting on how X3 was the worst comic book movie ever made. I feel mixed about X3 because it did capture great emotion with scenes like Warren in the bathroom cutting his wings, beast seeing his hand w/o hair in what looked like a long time, prof. X dying. It also really messed up with scenes like Cyke dying, the pheonix and Storms speech on how they should leave Jean alone/ she made her choice (I thought they were like sisters).

I dont think the flop or success (which ever you consider it to be) that was X3 will effect Wolverine, but I do wonder if the general public gives a d!@m. There just doesn't seem to be much hype around it. I relate to the person who said the only reason they were somewhat interested in seeing this is for Storm/the other mutant cameos, its sad but true I feel as though wolverine had 3 movies before this that just weren't self-titled and the public is losing interest.

But that's not the point is it? :p ..and that's why they're off to the sides...
 
I have a feeling that many people are going to be dissapointed/pissed off when they learn that some of these "eye candy" characters i.e. Cyclops, Emma Frost, Gambit, etc., only have bit parts in the actual film.

Personally, I think the TV spots are misleading because they imply that these characters are major characters in the film.

They're not. :dry:
 
^ I guess...I don't know about you, but with this many characters, and seeing the previous x movies...why would you expect that? I would argue that Wolverine gives the cameo characters better scenes then some of the x-films ever did.
 
Eh, but unlike the random cameos in X3, if feel like Cyclops, Gambit, and Emma actual serve a purpose.

I mean, Colossus was marketed in X2's promos.
