Days of Future Past Peter Dinklage as Bolivar Trask - Official Thread

[Great Mind(s)]

And maybe Bill Duke played someone called Tracks and we're all just hearing it wrong!

 

[marvelrobbins]

It was never established when tirlogy took place.Bryan singer siad In setting the time from first Class he went backwords from the ages of Patrick Stewert and Ian Mckellen.They are In early 6o's In trilogy.Since they are In mid 20's In first class that sets trilogy In mid to late 1990's.The not too distant future Is out the window since they started setting X-Men In real times.

Bryan singer has also said recently he Is doing some correcting to the X-Men films he wasn't Involved In.

Why wouldn't people want Peter Dinklage to be playing the creator of sentinles as human villain of DOFP?To not have him because Brett Ratner cast Bill Duke as character with nae of trask In last Stand? That doesn't make sense.especilly since we never heard the name Boliver trask In last stand and no indication he was scientist.

I havent seen that movie since the workprint copy. But was she ever called Emma in that movie? Cuz as far as I care to know, she was just Kayla sister with diamond skin powers.

She wasn't, but she's credited as "Kayla's Sister, Emma".

 

[lordofthenerds]

DOFP past take places In 1973.The Last Stand Is most likely In mid to late 1990's.

No way would the technology for Sentinels be around in the 70s.

Who said Xavier and Magneto were in their early sixties during the OXT?

 

[marvelrobbins]

Bryan singer.

 

[lordofthenerds]

When did he say that?

 

[Megaton Sun]

She wasn't, but she's credited as "Kayla's Sister, Emma".

so yea that wasn't Emma Frost. Just either a coincidence or possibly her daughter. t:

I only consider what characters are called in the actual movie to be their official names. For example, Victor Creed in XMOW and Sabretooth in X-Men were different characters.

 

[magneto23]

Collider is reporting it too so I guess it's true

http://collider.com/peter-dinklage-x-men-villain/

I agree with that article. If he truly is the main antagonist, then he has to be the guy responsible for the sentinels.

He doesn't have to say it. Magneto is 10 - 12 in 1944 & Rogue is a teen in X1 which is set in the 90s. Do the math & Xavier is in his early 60s.

 

[marvelrobbins]

He says point blank In X-Men and X2 Xavier and Magneto were about the real age of both
Patrick Stewert and Ian Mckellen.When he devoped the story of first class he went backwords from their age to when Xavier and Magneto are In mid to late 20's which
Is early 60's.Thus mid 1990's setting for trilogy fits.

 

[TheHeatKitchen]

I'm saying is Cyclops. Yes, you read that right. Singer didn't have a problem getting someone too short for the character to begin with. Now hes just going to the X-treme (see what I did there?) to mess with us. Imagine the lifts in HIS boots.

 

[HandofDoom]

The Last Stand can't be the mid 90s... X1 was the not too distant future from the year 2000. N'sync played in X2... The Last Stand is likely 2007 or 2008 as it says the not too distant future, not the mid-90s in the subtitle.

Singer already said he's not ignoring any of the previous movies, that would likely include the fact that Trask was around in late 2000s. He could still be present in the movie, who is to say he wasn't building Sentinels during the events of The Last Stand?

When Singer says that he'll respect current continuity, i think it could be a tounge in cheek reference - all the time travel and changing thats gonna happen in DOFP could erase the events of X1 2 and 3 from ever have happening.

 

[Legion]

I still say he's playing Bantam...Fitzroy's assistant. Either that or he will play Apocalypse with mocap. Apocalypse was behind the assassination attempt in the cartoon.

 

[lordofthenerds]

He doesn't have to say it. Magneto is 10 - 12 in 1944 & Rogue is a teen in X1 which is set in the 90s. Do the math & Xavier is in his early 60s.

I am doing the math. If X1 was set at some point after 2000 (as was originally intended) and Magneto is 10-12 in 1944, that would make him at the very least 66 years of age.

People want to say that the original X-Men trilogy was set in the 90s because they want a sense of continuity. However, if you take a look at what's in the original trilogy, you'll find it was very clearly meant to be in the 00s. If it was set in the 90s, they wouldn't be driving a Mazda RX-8. N-Sync's "Bye Bye Bye" wouldn't be playing on the radio. The styles of clothing would be different. The trilogy very much feels like the mid-00s.

I think ppl are only saying 90s because in X2 Stryker sez its been almost 15 years and the Wolverine movie took place in the 70s. But ppl forget that both Stryker and Logan lost their memories. Hence why he said ALMOST 15 years.

I doubt they are going to count X-Men Origins Wolverine. They have pretty much said they aren't paying attention to it. I know the director of Wolverine has said that. The movie has too many inconsistencies that don't fit with the rest of the films.

Maybe people think it takes place in the 90's because it was MADE IN THE 90's. The first x-men was released July 2000, but it was filmed around 98-99.

Were X2 and X3 filmed in the 90s too? Because, last I checked, you guys were saying the entire trilogy was set in the 90s.

Btw, I just looked it up, and X1 was filmed behind schedule, between September 22, 1999 to March 3, 2000. Not entirely in the 90s.

 

[JackMercy]

Imagine this:

Dinklage as Bolivar Trask, confronting Logan or Kitty in a climactic moment and talking about all of the alternate realities that exist...

"It's all so infinite...I mean, in another reality I could be a big, bald African-American!"

...Logan smirks.

 

[laytonc32]

I can buy the first film being set around 98-99 but the sequels were filmed in the 00s and the Nsync music puts it there anyways.

You said the trilogy clearly feels like the mid 00's, and i'm saying that's impossible since x1 and x2 weren't made in the mid00's. And it takes a couple of years for a decade to get it's own identity. Even Vaughn said the same when taking about First Class. He said even though it took place in the early 60's it's not that different from the late 50's

True. The song was made in the 00's, but nsync is still a crappy boy band from the 90's. It's funny cuz one if the things I liked about singers x films was the timelessness, so I remember being pretty surprised hearing such a crappy modern song in x2.

Early-00s, mid-00s; same difference.

Say what you want, X2 did not feel like the early-to-mid-nineties. It wasn't trying to feel like the nineties. If anything, the original X-Men movies were trying to be ahead of their time.

x1 and x2 definitely feel like late 90's movies to me, but again all of Singers movies have a timeless feel to them. Look at all the characters wardrobe which are definitely fromdifferent decades (especially rogue in x2).
