Days of Future Past First Class Official Casting Thread

[JP]

What's interesting to me about what Retro posted is that Lucinda Syson is Vaughn's go to casting director. We knew she was casting for First Class. But, I didn't know Roger Mussenden, Bryan Singer's go to casting director was also on board.

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

well, ginger - Jean just a thought... doesnt really matter who plays jean if they have read hair or not i mean Famke had brown hair and they just died it really.

Actually I could be mistaken, but...I think Famke was rocking a wig in X2 and X3. You'd have to ask one of the Phoenix Patrons (JP, Pejo, etc.,) for more specific clarification.

 

[JP]

She dyed it in X1 which, along with the dark lighting of the film, made it appear her hair was brown (Famke has jet black hair). X2 was a great wig of a bad haircut. X3 was a bad wig of a good haircut.

And, LS!, shame on you. Pejo hasn't been around these parts in years!

i know! ^^ sad day. i really miss the old days.

there were brief moments in x1 where you could def tell her hair was red.

Hmmm!

Then I guess Singer really is having a more hands-on approach as producer

 

[Electrix]

Maybe Bryan's casting person is doing the L.A auditions while Vaughn's does UK ones.

 

[Iceman]

Wow...Beast, Banshee, Havok in!!

Things really shaping up!

 

[Matt.S99]

I liked Jeans hair in X2

 

[marvelrobbins]

I thought X2 presented the best take on Jen as redhead.It looked too brown In X-Men and looked too fake In The Last Stand.

Bacon is official!

Also, notice it says "written by Jane Golman". I guess she didn't just rewrite Moss' script. She completely wrote her own. I'm not surprised by that. Vaughn himself said "a good script should never take a long time to write". He and Goldman wrote Kick-Ass in 4 weeks.

Jennifer Lawrence is Mystique

Jennifer Lawrence, the actress who’s been getting rave reviews for her work in “Winter’s Bone,” has been cast as Mystique in Fox’s “X-Men: First Class.”

ANyone notice how we always get casting announcements on Thursdays?

 

[Matt Mortem]

Who the hell is Bacon playing????

 

[Sawyer]

Never heard of her or Winter's Bone, but I hope she's a good fit.

 

[JP]

Neither have I, Sawyer. Im just glad they cast an actual actress instead of a model. Especially one that is supposedly getting "rave reviews" for another role. Perhaps Mystique has a more substantial role this time around?

 

[X-Maniac]

Who the hell is Bacon playing????

Didn't you read the part about it being 'under wraps.'?

 

[Matt Mortem]

I don't have time for "reading". I expect my fellow Hype users to just know

 

[Roy Batty]

Jennifer Lawrence is a great choice for Mystique. Here's a video of her photoshoot for Esquire http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-BVMg7ciNI

Going to be pretty cool to see Bacon in a comic film, especially as a villian.

 

[JP]

THR mentions Aaron Johnson.. argh! This is just getting ridiculously confusing. Is he or isn't he?

 

[BMM]

I saw that. It's frustrating. Does anyone know if there is supposed to be a panel or anything regarding First Class at Comic-Con?

 

[LostSon88]

um...so is Jean Grey in this movie or what?

 

[BMM]

Not to mention Storm. Come to think of it, we haven't heard any news regarding the big 3. Perhaps they're waiting to reveal them together? I don't know.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Not to mention Storm. Come to think of it, we haven't heard any news regarding the big 3. Perhaps they're waiting to reveal them together? I don't know.

I've heard that Storm isn't going to be in this movie. If she is, my suggestion would be:

Spoiler

Shareeka Epps

She would fit the age of the X-Men (she's 20) and she's a talented actor. I don't know if they are going for someone around her age or someone a bit older, closer to the ages of Fassbender and McAvoy.

 

[Electrix]

It would be pretty bold of 20th Century Fox to make an X-Men movie without Jean, Cyclops and Storm (not to mention no Wolverine). They are the most popular and well known characters, so I suspect we will see them.
