Official - Omahyra Mota Joins Cast!

[Endeavor]

... And I think Gauntlet was either in Sinister's Mauraders or Nasty Boys... But can someone help me out as to whether Omega Red is technically a mutant?

Nope. Gauntlet was never part of the Marauders or the Nasty Boys. He's only belonged to one team, which went by two different names: The Dark Riders and the Riders of the Storm. That was when he was working for Apocalypse and later for Tyler Dayspring.

Omega Red is in fact a mutant. His coils are an implant (like Wolverine's adamantium) but he had his death spores from before.

"Nothing is f***ed here, dude. You're all being very undude like."

Awesome.

 

[The1_2004]

This movie is rushed.
Simply put, Fox put the release date in solid cement, and refused to budge on it.
Remember who the front runner was to direct when Singer left? It was every fanboys choice: Joss Whedon.
Whedon would've loved to do it, but Fox set the date, and wouldn't compromise on giving him the time he would need.
Guess who did give him the time he needs to make a good comic movie? Warner Bros. and DC Comics for Wonder Woman.
Ratner and company are even using material from Whedon's run on ASTONISHING X-MEN as source material. How lame is that?

And when Vaughn was chosen, I figured, 'okay, we got a director now. Let's see what happens.' Then Vaughn dropped out, and I thought 'oh god, now what?'
Then Ratner stepped in and I was 'well, he we go...'

Can somebody tell me how often the first poster for a movie comes out BEFORE they start filming?

If Fox wasn't so deadlocked into into being in the middle of a d***-wagging contest with Warner Bros. and Superman, they'd realize that this isn't the way to go. Time must be taken for these things.

X-Men was supposed to come out Christmas 2000, and Singer was forced to have it ready for a summer release during the post-production. A similar thing happened with X2. So what's happening with X3 isn't really the same as the first two.

And for anyone wondering, Omega Red isn't a mutant. He was created as the Russian's answer to Captain America during the Soviets reign.

Not mine.

So you've seen the movie?!? and it's actually good!?!

You just reminded me why I hated when Scott Lobdell took over writing the books.

I hate Bob Harras.

Anywho, if Gauntlet is indeed in this film (i.e one of those biker dudes we saw in the now yanked XMF photo), he'd better have some cool ass weapons, otherwise, what's the point?

And wasn't he green in the comics?

 

[Specter313]

This whole "movie is being rushed" thing is not even really a good argument. War of the Worlds was made in less time, and that was still one of this past summer's biggest blockbusters.

OMG that was lobdell!! Funny enough, the guy was a great starter, but his stuff went absolutely no-where.

And yes, he was a pale shade of green back in the day, maybe he evolved

Indeed. In the past 5 years, pre- AND post-production have been ever shrinking on all films. X3 has the benefit of actually having a fairly healthy amount of pre-production time - which will make the rest go much more smoothly.

Whatever problems this film may or may not end up having, the production time will have little to do with it in my opinion.

...

I'm sorry but that's wrong. Just because he was part of a super soldier program doesn't mean he isn't a mutant. If you're going to hold to that argument then Wolverine isn't a mutant either...

Arkady Rossovich, aka Omega Red, was a mutant mass murderer wanted by Interpol. Sean Cassidy, aka Banshee, was hunting him down and saw him supposedly die way before he became Omega Red. It's his natural mutation that grants him his 'death spore factor', not the augmentation he received in the russian super soldier program.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

i think we have stacy X... i dont mind... as long as she has a cameo... but would die if she was Marrow (shes awsome) or Callisto... cuz morlocks are a sweet aspect

 

[Jennifer Walters]

A cameo? A cameo that takes three months to film? I think not.

 

[Retroman]

I don't agree. You can't compare something like War Of Worlds which was financed by two of the richest and most powerfull men in Hollywood (Spielberg and Cruise) to X-Men 3. X3 doesn't have that kind of clout behind it nor do they have creme de la creme in effects houses working on it in post. Thats not saying that Framestore, Pixel Magic etc aren't good. It's just that ILM, WETA, Sony Imageworks are still a cut above the rest. If they could sign one of those then i wouldn't be so worried about top notch fx.

same thing i said.

Whatever problems this film may or may not end up having, the production time will have little to do with it in my opinion.

Superman will have over a year of post production time alone, if you consider the fact that some footage has already been put into post production for visuals effects already. By the time Whedon will start principal photography on Wonder Woman he will have had almost a year of pre-production going. From the time Ratner came onboard he basically has a year to do his own pre production(any director is going to make things their own and not just follow the script), pricipal photography and post production. This film is rushed. Dont even get me started on the pre time for Spiderman...

 

[The1_2004]

okay, we've gotten way off course now.
We're all supposed to be discussing Omahyra Mota in this.

Stacy-X would be a bad choice because no one wants to take they're children or family to a movie with a hooker mutant. Even if its a small part.

Calisto would be pretty cool I think, because she's got that warrior sense and code of honor thing going, which would be good for either X-Men or Brotherhood.

Marrow is a lot like Calisto in the sense of being a warrior and what not. It'd be cool to see Storm fight either one, because Storm dueled them both for supremacy of the Morlocks, and even removed Marrow's heart (or was that someone else entirely?)

Destiny would be an interesting way to go because she of course has her ties to Mystique. Maybe Rebecca Romaign (that's spelled very wrong) actually knows Mota, and that would be an interesting chemistry.

Scarlet Witch I can't see Mota doing.

Blink maybe? Kind of an answer to Nightcrawler for the Brotherhood . . . ? Probably not.

But her character won't matter if she can't act.
Has anyone seen her in these movies they're saying she's in?
I never saw AFTER THE SUNSET because all I heard were continuously bad things about it . . . . . .

 

[SuperT]

Stacy-X would be a bad choice because no one wants to take they're children or family to a movie with a hooker mutant. Even if its a small part.

Umm, how stupid. You could say the same thing about Mystique. She was practically naked the whole movie. Parents wouldn't want there kids to see a naked blue chick running around everywhere.

Personally, I don't have a problem with Stacey-X. She could be very kick ass if done right.

 

[Endeavor]

A year? You're being too generous. Ratner didn't take over of Vaughn back in May.
This movie IS too rushed and I'm still hoping they delay the release at least a couple months, to give more time for post production editing and FX.

 

[The1_2004]

Personally, I don't have a problem with Stacey-X. She could be very kick ass if done right.

Stacy-X's entire premise in the comic book was that she was turning tricks when she was found!
That's not nearly as bad as scaly-naked looking blue chick running around.

How can pheromone manipulation be used for anything outside of a seduction, hooker-y thing? Then it just gets too close to making her into a psychic type of charater who can alter people's perception.

Again, none of it will matter if she can't act.

 

[Wullbinkle]

While I'm not up on much of the X3 news (try to remain spoiler free, and hope it comes out good, no matter what others say about the script), I am a fan, and looking at the set pics, and the model shots, I think she is playing Jubilee. In the "on set" pics, she is wearing blue and yellow. The poster says that she is "out of costume" but maybe she isn't. She has short hair, and the right skin color (though wrong nationality) and Ratner is putting 74 thousand mutants in this thing, so its a good possibility. And with nothing official, who says she is a henchwoman?

 

[Endeavor]

It's likely Jubilee will be played by the same actress from X2 Bullwinkle. So I don't think what you suggested is a likely possibility.

 

[DarkDog]

And with nothing official, who says she is a henchwoman?

People that have seen her in scenes with magneto and juggernaut.
see the "filming by my house" thread.

 

[JP]

I think shes cute. I have no problem with her being in the film.

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

Why doesn't anyone think she could be Scarlett Witch?

 

[Endeavor]

Bleh, she's doesn't have that reality altering gypsy witch air about her.

 

[ctvampslayer]

Well, she looks like Stacy. I'm still excited, Miss X gets a bad rap from know-it-all fans and I'm hyped to be getting more cool characters in the movie. IF that's who she's playing, though.
