interesting question.....
but why there are three or more thread about First Class?
As anything more than a 10 second cameo, no.
He'd be a little kid. It'd be pointless and contrived.
Yeah and Gambit should be there in the park with them, lurking behind a tree, then spring out and say "look at what I can do, cause I got dem mutant powers like ya'll". Then all the X-Men bow to him (including Wolverine) and the credits roll... Bet you'd love that.
No, no, no. I don't want Wolverine to bow to him! I want Wolverine to challenge him to a fight and get absolutely decimated, accept Gambit's dominance, and move to Siberia.
the whole idea of the First Class limited series was to show the original students as they were teenagers, so if Fox is planning to go forward with this project (without reestablishing a new contuity) it would be telling the teenage adventures of the movie's first students- Cyclops, Jean, Storm, and Beast. its obvious Bobby is much younger than his teachers (lets say 17-18 againts their 30) so it would be IMPOSSIBLE for him to walk and talk let alone fight alongside his teenage professors.I have two points to make with the theory that Iceman can't be in this movie IF it's a prequel starting with the older cast most of you have mentioned.
1) Even in the comics, It's true that Bobby was the youngest member of the X-Men, BUT he also had more control over his powers than any of the others. Check out UXM #1 if you want proof.
2) The "blinking" kid that changed the television channel in X2 couldn't have been older than 10 or 12years old and living in the mansion, and he seemed to have control over his powers...
So why would it be inconceiveable for Bobby to be in this movie, and show his abilities at a younger age similar to that "blinking" kid? In X2 he even told his mother that he could do a lot more with his powers when he froze the coffee cup. Which I'm sure took many years to perfect these abilities. So that statement alone proves that despite the age he was when he made that statement, he was doing stuff with his powers for some time.
why is this thread still being posted in? there really isnt much for arguments sake.
I can see it now... Gambit charges Wolverine's adamantium claws and makes him explode from the inside out. And when Wolverine reforms again, he whipes his face in frustration like Curly of The Three Stooges - because he can't outsmart Gambit, Gambit turns around and does it again to him.
Gambit then sleeps with all the X-women simultaneously and goes on to defeat the bad guy single-handedly and is made king of the X-men. That sounds about right.
