[marvelrobbins]

I agree with you.I can see Oliver Pratt as Harry Leland.

 

[Project862006]

yeah the only man in black i know is from dark tower lol

code name for sure

Damn, 3 casting reports in about 24 hours. They're really trying to finish up quick, eh?

 

[Chewy]

Yeah, probably because they're scheduled to start filming at the end of the month

Well the news has only hit the web in the past 24 hours. They were probably cast last week.

i think Oliver Platt is gonna be Friedrich Von Roehm aka Black Rook who is a member of the hellfire club

 

[SuperSAINT]

Glad Rose Byrne has joined the cast. She's gorgeous.

She would've been my dark-horse choice for Wasp, actually.

 

[Project862006]

yup i really think it is Friedrich Von Roehm aka Black Rook

 

[Chewy]

Isn't Black Rook a mutant?

 

[Project862006]

yeah i think so he is basically a lychan

Von Roehm possessed a power likened to lycanthropy. Von Roehm did not undergo the typical change in appearance associated with werewolves. However, he acquired superhuman strength, enhanced senses, claws, and barely controllable bloodlust during his transformation. His powers were genetically based

only guess i could think of that is linked to hellfire club

 

[Doctor Jones]

If they're cranking out casting this fast then there's a possibility of Cyclops and Jean not being far behind. I think they'll be the last cast if they are in this.

 

[Project862006]

well from vaughn's history for casting kick ass

he wants to make sure he gets it right did'nt he almost leave the project because he couldn't find his kick ass

 

[Squidboy]

I'm hoping Hoult was a misdirection and that he's actually playing Cyke, because he really doesn't strike me as a Beast. Probably because I got excited to see Benjamin Walker playing the role or somethang, lolz

 

[TheComicbookKid]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that suspected a misdirect. Nice comparison and would be a good pick if true.

 

[Project862006]

i dont know he has more of a devilish look to him i would buy him as a night crawler easily tho lol i think it is his eyes/eye brows

 

[JP]

He sure is pretty.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

I just feel really bummed out that Aaron Johnson isn't Cyclops, unless FOX is pulling a Marvel like they did with Sam Jackson and Jeremy Renner.

It seems obvious now that hellfire is going to be a big part of the story - so If Sebastian Shaw is played by Bacon, and Harry Laland is played by Platt, and Emma Frost is played by Alice Eve, Azazel is played by Jason Flemyng... my next question is...

Who is playing Donald Pierce?

I don't think anything about this film is obvious. :]

 

[Project862006]

Paul Bettany would be a good choice

 

[TheVelvetOnion]

Paul Bettany is in everything these days - even if you dont want him to.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

I was about to say that, Velvet.

And when ever he is cast for something. "HE CAN'T DO THAT, HE'S THE VOICE OF J.A.R.V.I.S in the Iron Man movies!!!!".

 

[Project862006]

you are not allowed to do more than 1 marvel character it is forbidden

 

[Squidboy]

And don't even think about trying to switch back and forth between Marvel and DC either.

Hi all,

longtime lurker here, been around since the days of Spider-Man 2. Anyway, like many others I've been confused with this whole First Class debacle, specifically with the casting. I'd like to share my thoughts with you, if that's ok.
I remember a while ago reading either Singer or Vaughn (I don't remember) stating in an interview that some of the casting announcements were false or incorrect, to throw people off I geuss. The characters the actors were announced to be playing, were not the actual characters they are going to play. This got me thinking about some of the characters that are supposed to be appearing in this film, the additions that struck me as most odd were Banshee and Havok. I mean, why put them in an X-men origin movie? they're cool and all, but seriously. Bringing them into the first film would only screw up the already screwed up continuity even more. My guess is Lucas Till, who is supposed to be playing Havok, is actually playing Angel. And Caleb Landry Jones, who is supposed to be playing Banshee, is actually Iceman. I mean think about it, why would Fox/Singer/Vaughn go through the trouble of putting out fake casting announcements when no one besides us fanboys knows who these characters are? Or even care for that matter. There's no reason for all the secrecy.
The reason I think they're playing Iceman and Angel because Singer or Vaughn (again, I'm not sure. And I don't have any links either..) compared this movie to last years Star Trek. Now, that could have ment visually or whatever, but Star Trek was also a retelling of a popular franchise, a preboot/requel if you will. Could be the people involved in this got wise and saw an oppurtunity to set things straight by taking ellements from the previous films, but changing whatever they feel could be done better.
As for Nicholas Hoult playing Beast, I think that is correct. His presence in this film doesn't need to be 'disguised' like Angel's and Iceman's, because were expecting him to be in this film. He was in X-3 afterall, one off the movies First Class is supposed to be a prequeling (not a word). Only ones missing are Cyclops and Jean, who I think have yet to be cast.
I'm not saying I'm right about all this, I'm just saying it's possible. Maybe it's just wishfull thinking. I mean, who wouldn't want a decent start of a new X-men franchise starring Cyclops, Beast, Angel, Iceman and Marvel-girl??
That's it, I'm out. This post has gotten waaayyy to long already..
