• Xenforo Cloud will be upgrading us to version 2.3.5 on March 3rd at 12 AM GMT. This version has increased stability and fixes several bugs. We expect downtime for the duration of the update. The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version.

Days of Future Past Does the first class of pupils consist of 11 mutants?

with the possibility of shaw being in the film im sure they are going hellfire club. this would validate having emma frost in the film as well. i was just thinking that they were putting here in the film just cause she has a 2 bit part in wolv. but now it seems like they are going hellfire club. which to be honest i have no interest in, but atleast i can watch the film objectively since i don't really care about hellfire club.
 
This movie so ties in with x-men 1 to 3, despite the fact its supposed to be a reboot of some sorts...

Think about it, in x-men 1 - There was a senator at the begining of the movie called Shaw, then in X2 the scene for alkali lake states it was made by Shaw industries, we also have the hank mcCoy cameo in human form which he was talking too... Sebastian Shaw, plus one of the main villians was Jason 134 who had the powers of Mastermind a hellfire club member Then we have X-Men 3 where we had Phoenix whose involvement with hellfire in the comics is a node, plus you also have the stephord cukooes cameo.

So this news inst surprising.
 
Did I miss the memo that stated expressedly that this would be a prequel to the existing X-Men films?

You guys keep saying that this is going to tie in with the continuity that we already have, but I didn't see anything from FOX that says this is based on Bryan Singer's universe. Can someone show me where this is NOT considered a reboot? I thought Bryan got his inspiration to redux all of this because of the success of last years Star Trek film.

Do you honestly think Singer would go to 20th Century Fox are say "I tell you what, let's ignore what I spent over 4 years of my life working on and start again"?

Singer hinted that it would be a prequel from the start:

“Whether it’s ‘Batman,’ ‘Lord of the Rings’ or ‘Star Trek,’ if the characters are good, you want to see them on their journey even if you know their destiny,” Singer said. “I put myself in the fan’s position, and I think this story is something I would want to see, and so will they.”
He's basically saying that even though we've seen the trilogy and know where they end up he thinks the formation of the X-Men and the relationship between Xavier and Magneto is a story worth telling.

It is a reboot in the sense that it is giving new life to the franchise with new cast etc, but it isn't a reboot.

The official indications so far are that it is a prequel.

Remember, Lauren Shuler Donner also wanted Bryan to make an X4 which would obviously also be within the same continuity, and there is also a second Wolverine movie in the pipeline, also within the same continuity.

First Class is very much a 'how it all began' project.

If there are any radical deviations from the existing films, we don't yet know about it. Star Trek relaunched itself through a black hole / time travel scenario and I can't see that happening in First Class.
 
Unless Alice Eve is playing a high school girl, I think Origins is out the window in this continuity. X-3 may not be far behind depending on what else they change up.

How so? The actress playing Emma Frost in Wolverine was 23 at the time. Where did it say she was supposed to be playing a teenager?
 
to be honest doesnt matter who is making the film they still have to answer to fox, so ill just try to enjoy what is put out with no expectations. i guess ill watch as an action movie and not worry about it being the x-men. maybe 1 day someone will come along and make an x-men movie i really like. movies are subjective so don't bother arguing that this movie is good or that one is. to each his own.

No. Prequel. PRE-QUEL.

Im not being funny but, when i mention this as a Prequel i get blasted because people view this as a kind of a reboot with no relevance to the previous movies. When i mention this is a reboot i get blasted because people view this as a prequel to the already timeline of the x-men.

Make ya minds up...
 
I say its a mixture of both: reboot/prequel...I think Singer is taking whatever "ideas" he had for X3 or missed w/X1 and putting them into "First Class"

The word "reboot" has can be interpreted in many ways, but I think its being used in a way to bring new life into the existing trilogy

By whom? Certainly not anyone on this forum.
 
8. Willow - already confirmed, although in my oppinion i think shes playing Jean, but there sending us red herrings

very well could be, i know they're using code names. i can confirm that. A guy came into my local comic shop, some of the workers were talking about it. and he said he was auditioning for a part in first class known as "howler" and wanted all the x-men comics they had with him in it. The workers were like... Howler? And it turns out Howler was really Banshee.

So yeah, they're using names to throw people off
 
Yeah, I figured out that Howler is Banshee, and Willow is Mystique. I still can't figure out who "Derrick" is.
 
yeah i saw the auditions but the particular scene could of been a red herring. The scene showed the character playing a passionate and outspoken role... you figure the lines was for someone like Cyclops but i figure they used this to mislead anyone who the role is for. We already know there is going to be two xaviers and two magnetos.
 
Well, from my understanding the sides for Xavier and Erik were titled Xavier and Erik. We've seen an audition for Erik where he was Erik Lensherr, and was talking to CHarles Xavier. Mostly because we already knew they were the center of the film. So there was no secret.

However, all the other characters have/had secret code names to throw people off (Howler/Albert, Willow, Derrick).
 
Cool ok then...

Derrick is possibly Cyclops then, the only thing i can think off is that is Cyclops adopted the Eric the Red costume at one point, Essentially from Derrick you can make Erick or Red, but unfortunatley.

Willow is Mystique

Howler is Banshee

Albert if seperate from Howlever might be Beast... Albert, Einstein...scientist, Beast, just an idea
 
Albert is Howler (Banshee). Though, that side included a character named Chris who called himself Animal. I'd assume that was Beast.

I don't much think the names mean anything. Just names they came up with, I'd imagine. Which is why the fact that there just so happened to be a character from a one off comic book that appeared years ago with the name Willow was amusing to me. I'm positive it was just a coincidence.
