Dark Phoenix Phoenix must be destroyed!" The Official Lilandra Thread

[Frankeh]

Mystique is plenty likeable just as she is...

Too bad that's not the majority opinion. Show me people gushing about her in a comic book movie forum. I'll wait.

Too bad that's not the majority opinion.

According to you.

I'm not getting drawn into off-topic discussions any more, so take the Mystique dislike somewhere more appropriate.

 

[marvelrobbins]

Mystique is plenty likeable just as she is... and that's the last thing I'm saying about her in this thread, which isn't even ABOUT her.

It'll be interesting to see how far they go with Jessica Chastain's Lilandra's villainy and if they make her straight-up evil or merely antagonistic and have her villainy arise strictly from the fact that her designs on capturing Jean clash with the X-Men's purpose in wanting to help her control her powers.

sounds like based on thr report what we could see is lilandra s antagonist based n fear of jean's power and fear of what she could do to universe.

 

[psylockolussus]

It's a gross overgeneralization to claim that Mystique's evolution from villain to hero and leader has taken the focus away from other charavters, and, often, it's used as nothing more than an excuse to have someone to criticize these films for.

On-topic, though, I'm surprised that we haven't heard or seen much in terms of Jessica Chastain's specific 'look' and role in the film given the fact that they've been filming for more than two months now.

How gross? May I remind you Raven still got to do more than Beast, Storm, Psylocke, Jubilee, Angel in the last film... You know those are actually members of the X-Men for a very long time in the source material.

The last thing people use to describe Mystique is 'likeable.'

Mystique is NOT supposed to be likeable.

In this scenario though, fans and viewers hate the character of Mystique for completely different reasons...

The current Mystique is hated for the wrong reasons.

 

[psyonic]

The current Mystique is hated for the wrong reasons.

Hate is a strong word, just that she was pushed to the forefront due to her actor's popularity when the actual X-Men was been shafted.. which should never happen especially when it's a property that has a 50+ year history and when it even contradicts its own continuity (Raven and Charles growing up together snowballing into DoFP and Apocalypse with Lawrence in the spotlight).

 

[Silvermoth]

Can't wait to see her as Liliandra. I bet her look will be fierce!

 

[psylockolussus]

Apocalypse didn't look so fierce but ratchet to some. We'll see.

 

[Erik Lensherr]

Lilandra and Gladiator

 

[psylockolussus]

Idris Elba isn't in the movie so I don't know what you are implying here.

While Jessica already said that she isn't portraying Lilandra.

 

[Silvermoth]

When did she say that? I was certain she had confirmed. I reckon she is

 

[psylockolussus]

Instagram.

 

[Lip]

I think the question now is: Is Lilandra and the Sh'iar even in this movie?

 

[psylockolussus]

If Jessica isn't playing her, I doubt 1 of the other New cast members would play Lilandra.

 

[Silvermoth]

Maybe it will be one of those zendaya level "I'm not MJ " things

 

[psyonic]

lmaoooo Idris Elba is in the movie now

 

[psylockolussus]

He isnt!

Maybe it will be one of those zendaya level "I'm not MJ " things

Oh dear Lord no!

 

[DigificWriter]

I'm still inclined to believe THR's reporting over Jessica Chastain's Instagram, but we'll see.

That'd be my guess. She'll be the rough equivalent to Lilandra but they'll arbitrarily change the name or whatever.

 

[psyonic]

Lily Anderson xD

 

[Frankeh]

That'd be my guess. She'll be the rough equivalent to Lilandra but they'll arbitrarily change the name or whatever.

That would be totally unnecessary.

 

[psylockolussus]

Lily Anderson xD

Nope. Lila Chenneyneremi. An amalgamation of Shiar empress and Dazzler's colleague.

 

[Silvermoth]

He isnt!



Oh dear Lord no!

I actually hate that sort of thing too so I hope they don't do that.

Maybe Idris will play Gladiator? I reckon if he hates playing heimdell though then he will really hate that role
