For some reason, I REALLY like Zachary Quinto for the role.

I definately enjoyed X2 and only the Charles/Erik portions of First Class. So i cant say that im a huge fan of the X-Men movies. I would like to see the sequel where Fass is Magneto and Xaviers in the wheel chair right from the start. Hopefully they can kill off some characters that are still alive from the first movie, that i didnt really like.

But beyond that? I honestly dont care. If they end it after First Class 2..ill be fine with it because it opens up the Fassbender door even more! Im excited for "The Wolverine" next year though, probably because it's almost a seperate thing from the other movies.

I actually think Eastwood is too old now I don't wanna sound harsh but if you were to make a trilogy of Batman Beyond fiilms I'm not sure he'd be alive come the 3rd, hopefully he'll live alot longer but he's getting on.

I like Zachary Quinto, but I don't see it. So far, he does best when his role has at least an undertone of creepiness. I could see him as the Joker, though.

I think Zachary Quinto will forever be a bad guy actor.

Even his Spock was somewhat unlikeble.

If Fassbender quit the role of Magneto, then I would be OK with him being Batman.

If it came down to Fassbender being Magneto or Batman I'd prefer him not to be Batman. Now that I've seen him as Magneto I can't imagine anyone else in the role, and Vaughn's X-Men movie was so interesting that I'd rather get a trilogy for that than have it end just so Fass can play the dark knight.

I don't see why it would be a problem. 2 completely different characters from 2 separate universes with absolutely no connection whatsoever.

Agreed. I wouldn't have any problem with Fassbender as Bats as long as he can play Magneto at the same time. I don't see it happening though because I think he's got too many franchises going on at once.

Well, I can't say I agree as I love the Charles and Erik that First Class established, so I'd love a whole series centered on those two...but I really think audiences are just growing tired of that particular universe in general (especially now that Avengers has shown them just how fun a superhero group can be), and the franchise is 5 movies in already, so the chances of finding a new audience for it at this point is minimal. As much as I look forward to the sequel, I just don't see it doing much better at the box office than FC, and if that happens, I'd imagine a complete re-imagining of the X-Men cinematic universe is probably on the horizon.

I'm very nervous about XFC2. When I hear of all the characters that are supposed to be in it all I can think is that it's going to be a hot mess. I hope I'm wrong. Vaughn's a good enough director that he can make it work.

How about a Batman Beyond with Clint Eastwood as an aged Bruce Wayne?

I don't understand the obsession with seeing an old Bruce. I don't want my hero to be aged and decrepit.

We're all over the place here lol

In a batman beyond movie, your hero wouldn't be old and decrepit. Your hero would be terry mcginnis, the guy who takes up the batman role when bruce gets old.

Id like to see an original aspect of batman. We've got two origin stories right now and two takes on batmans life. Id like to see something a bit more fresh than a straight up reboot.

I haven't been following news on XFC2 this time (last time I just got sick of all the negativity throughout the 'net just because Fox's promo material sucked), so I'm totally in the dark on all that. But I think I want to stay in the dark so I don't start developing doubts like yours, haha. I'll start lowering expectations if it starts getting bad buzz from screenings. Otherwise, I'm just gonna have faith in Vaughn/Goldman/Fassbender/McAvoy to deliver on the promise of the first one.

Zachary Quinto is a person I've considered but rejected. He's kinda...creepy. He'd make a good back-from-the-dead Jason Todd/Red Hood...If Fassbender likes playing Magneto he won't play Batman because Marvel/Disney and DC/WB won't let him play both at the same time. I guarantee it.

 

[BH/HHH]

hey Christopher lee is sticking kicking around

Infact nevermind Eastwood's 82

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

Alan Rickman for Alfred

 

[DeGenerate10]

How about Andrew Lincoln for Bats?

 

[BH/HHH]

Alan Rickman for Alfred

I could see that

 

[dozer2025]

He doesn't have "the look" per se but I think Benjamin Walker deserves a screen test for the lead role. Abe Lincoln Vsmpire Hunter was alright but he was pretty damn good

 

[shauner111]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[dozer2025]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo

Not a fan?

 

[BH/HHH]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo

I agree but not as drammatically

 

[Project862006]

ben would be better suited for superman than batman he has a very honest look to him which is why he worked well for honest abe

 

[BH/HHH]

wouldn't be right for Superman either, I find him odd looking.

 

[Project862006]

odd looking lol

no he just doesn't look like your stereotypical super hero look

he reminds me of a young colin firth
