Has it been confirmed yet?
This is my ideal cast for First Class 2 and 3. But I would include Storm in FC3.FC1: Havok, Beast, Banshee, Mystique (joining Magneto at the end)
FC2: Havok, Beast, Banshee, Polaris, Sunfire.
FC3: Havok, Beast, Banshee, Polaris, Sunfire, Cyclops, Jean.
FC4: Havok, Beast, Banshee, Polaris, Sunfire, Cyclops, Jean, Storm.
Yeah it would have been cool. It makes sense cause its not a full reboot and is supposed to be in continuity somewhat with the other films. They wanted to have a film that could serve as a prequel and a reboot. They couldnt use them cause they would be too young. Luckily the film was awesome even though they were not in it. They gave us something different with FC and it worked plus seemed fresh. The X team is a bit weak but hopefully that will change. Im sure Fox wants to get back to those characters sooner then later.But the XMFC line up was not the original line up, it made no sense.
It should have been Beast, MG, Cyclops, Ice-Man and Angel.
Like the 1960's comics.
That would have been awesome.

You mean those early 60s comics that were a sales flop and ended up being cancelled, and were only a hit when revived in 1975 with Storm, Wolverine, Colossus, Banshee and Nightcrawler?
So maybe The Avengers film should follow the original comic and have the actual first members of Thor, Iron Man, Ant-Man and Wasp, who actually came together without SHIELD to tackle a Loki-controlled Hulk. Captain America didn't come in till later, and Hawkeye and Black Widow not for a long time after that.
Let's be honest here, the reason XMFC was the best X film so far was not because of who made the team, but because a) the story of the origins/relationship between Prof X and Magneto and b) because the screenplay nicely interwove Prof X & Magneto's story's with the formation of the first X-Men line up against the backdrop of the cold war while ticking off cool X-Men cornerstones like the Blackbird and explaining how they got it.
This is why the film was good not because of who was on the team.
But having said that, it would have been nice from a fan perspective to have the original line up as it would have tied in with the REAL original team. And you can't compare the original comics low sales back in the 1960's of a then unknown bunch of characters to todays market where X-Men is one Marvel's biggest properties. If it's got 'X-Men' in the title, people will watch it no matter what.
Aside from Beast and maybe Mystique, the rest of the XMFC team were incidental and had no character development aside from mastering their powers.
You mean issue 4? LOL
The first CLASSIC Avengers line up was Thor, Iron Man, Hulk, Cap, Ant-Man and Wasp. In the film they swapped hank and Wasp for BW & Hawkeye so what.
The Avengers needed all the big guns as it was a culmination of MS first 5 films. XMFC was not a culmination of anything, it was a fresh start and hence totally different.
But, still, Captain America was not a founder member of the Avengers.
Its easy to see why both teams have chose there teams, comparing the XMFC roster to Avengers in terms of being like the comics isnt even comparable though.So it's not the same as the comics, that's what.

Avengers is not just based on 616. Ultimates comes into play big time especially with Black Widow and Hawkeye. Cap shows up issue 1 there. Cap has and will continue to be leader of the Avengers for a very long time. A 4 issue difference isnt anything. Hes essential. As is Cyc and Jean to many X fans. Havok, Banshee, Mystique, Angel Salvadore and Darwin are not. I think there will always be fans who are disappointed by that and I can def see why.
XMFC is awesome without the main 5 but its years to decades away from its founding team. With only two. Prof X and Beast.It worked in their continuity and actually made for a good Prof X Mags story as well as one of the best films. Thats all that matters imo.
Yeah I agree. Even Banshee was chosen because he could use Sonar. They all had reasons some way or another. Unfortunately they werent brought on for their characters. Rest of the cast did good. Was watching again and the Performances and arcs with Prof X and Magneto still impress me even after multiple viewings. Those guys just sell it man. Still have my problems with the third act X Men fights and not enough of the team. But hope to see that improved on.If it's a prequel (regardless of continuity issues) then yes it had to be that way.
Even if Darwin and Angel Salvadore seemed like random choices to fans, they obviously weren't.
Darwin gave ethnic diversity and was a sacrificial character who drove the story forward (plus, he died in the comics as part of Xavier's team in Deadly Genesis).
Angel also added ethnic diversity and a flying mutant to battle with Banshee (and I recall at one point Vaughn had wanted this version of Angel in his version of X3).
