Every time this thread gets updated I think it's because we have news.

Me too.

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

Should be any day now.

 

[JP]

Yeah, and that makes me even more impatient! Especially when Rise of the Apes already had casting announcements and that was announced way after FIrst Class!

 

[FaT_tONle]

Don't expect anything any time soon. Rise of Apes will basically be a CGI fest so actors aren't that important, outside of the human ones. Probably won't get casting until June or July. Pretty confident the movie will be pushed back.

All indications point to them casting as we speak. Bryan has been looking for potential Scott's and Jean's during Jack the Giant Killer casting, and Vaughn will probably be looking at actors now.

If filming is to begin in July then we'll probably get casting announcements over the upcoming weeks. June will be a busy month for X-Men: First Class news.

 

[chaseter]

I wonder if the cast will be at Comicon this year.

 

[JP]

Maybe NYCC in October.

Maybe NYCC in October.

If they start filming in July they might have some footage to show.

Meh... probably will be waiting longer.

It's a shame that I know where that quote is from (at least I think I do), I can't stand her show, but she's really a good in dramatic films

So, I still say Keke Palmer would do the role of Storm justice, if not, maybe a talented unknown, maybe even one with an actual African background... I also hope she has an accent

Agreed...

...I love Keke and think she's a decent actress......but she's not Storm...teen/young Storm imo...

...I think the bold should be applied to casting

 

[Phoenix_Flare]

you know casting for Storm is going to be tough because their is almost to none source material that features Storm as a teenager, in every incarnation she is and adult, most likely mid 20s-30s, so whoever the actress is chosen to play her will have to bring something new to the character and believable, so her character won't be wasted again ala X1-X3...

I suppose they can touch on her claustrophobia, mention her being worshipped as a goddess and deal w/her being uprooted to USA where people h8e/fear her

 

[javphonic]

That would actually be great^ all of those would contribute to major character development, even throw in a rivalry for leadership with Scott, whose unsure of himself and you've got enough to develop her over a trilogy

I'd prefer they go with an unknown for Storm, but my other choice (other than Ms. Palmer) was was Jurnee Smollet, as she looks more like Halle Berry, and is another brilliant young actress

Old pic from other thread


Cyclops.......... Tim Pocock
White Queen... Tahyna Tozzi
Marvel Girl....... Hayley Ramm
Beast............. Andy Lawrence

There is some reference material of Storm as a child in Africa but not as a teenager at Xavier's school. I guess that means that they can do whatever they want and not have fanboys whining that they changed too much!

 

[Electrix]

One of the problems with Halle's Storm was that she was too American. I hope they give her an accent.

 

[JP]

In my wildest dreams.

What was that you were saying?

 

[illest urban]

^ HA! Was thinking the SAME thing as I scrolled down! Womp womp!

Here's some speculation, on Cyclop's casting:

Remember when there were reports on Singer also looking for Scott and Jean, during his casting sessions for Jack the Giant Killer?

This was reported recently by THR:

The New Line-Legendary movie, which was to have shot in England this summer, was quietly casting, with Singer meeting young actors such as Aaron Johnson (“Kick-Ass”) and Andrew Garfield (“The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus”) to play the project’s young farmer Jack, the hero who must lead a dangerous expedition to the kingdom of giants in hope of rescuing a princess.

Aaron Johnson and Andrew Garfield both met with Singer, for the lead in Giant Killer.

Today, Chud posted this:

James McAvoy, a robust 31 years old this April, will be playing Charles Xavier in X-Men: First Class. So if you were wondering how young the film was skewing, now you know. I knew the X-Men would be young - one of those five kids named for Spider-Man won't be playing Peter Parker, but is up for the role of Scott Summers.

Andrew Garfield is the actor who is also up for Spider-Man. It sounds like that's the actor Devin is referring to, but also here's a recent pic (credit to Electrix for posting it in the McAvoy thread) of Vaughn, McAvoy and Aaron Johnson.

Johnson and/or Garfield up for Cyclops? Again just speculation, but something to think about...

Johnson, PLEASE
