Days of Future Past The Official Lucas Till/Havok Thread

[GuestStar2004]

I think havok a role will be in Vietnam when wolverine arrives in the past and they meet, but we know he uses his powers so be interesting to see why and how

 

[Angamb]

I like the sound of his quote about his power, to me it means he will attack throw his hands

and I hope he at least share one scene with Charles and Beast, or at least to show they are in contact by phone or something, lol

 

[GuestStar2004]

i found another small interview with lucas till and he has some pretty interesting details

http://latino-review.com/2013/08/02/exclusive-interview-lucas-talks-havok-tweeted-photo-x-men-days-future-past/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=exclusive-interview-lucas-talks-havok-tweeted-photo-x-men-days-future-past

Latino-Review: [Bryan Singer] announced it in a nice fashionable way by tweeting a photo online, which is kind of ironic because you’re trying value your privacy and the director suddenly pushes out your photo. One of the questions had to be asked is—what’s up with that photo?

Lucas Till: [Laughter] Well, yeah. I would challenge you or anybody else to spot two or three other mutants [in that photo]. At least two. They’re in the background there. They’re not new to the franchise, but they have been reinvented. And they’re in there. One has tattoos and one a very distinct feature.

 

[Angamb]

not new to the franchise???

mmm, not sure if I like the sound of it, hehe.

I guess they could be random mutants on X2 or something.

 

[kasjan]

So he won't back to X-Mansion, just Vietnam scene.

 

[Specter313]

He probably misspoke there, because Ink is definitely new to the films, and I think it's pretty obvious that one guy is him.

 

[Farren]

not new to the franchise???

mmm, not sure if I like the sound of it, hehe.

I guess they could be random mutants on X2 or something.

Maybe by franchise he meant the comics

 

[GuestStar2004]

Yeah I suspect he meant the comics

Good new Interview...(dont think theres cyclope)

CS: What can you tell us about "X-Men: Days of Future Past"?
Till: Basically, a war is taking place in one of the timelines. In the "First Class" cast's timeline there's a war during around the time of President Nixon you may be familiar with. That I may or may not be involved in. [Laughs.] That's kind of my involvement there. It was fun to just show up and use my blasts and get to go back to my other movie. It was a nice vacation.

CS: Did you have a chance to work with any of the original "X-Men" cast members in any of your scenes?
Till: The original cast… I don't think so. I keep forgetting, man.

CS: There are a lot of actors in this film.
Till: Yeah, I know! [Laughs.] Did you see that panel at Comic-Con? I was like, "Good Lord!" Avengers has nothing on this.

CS: From a casting standpoint alone, this is the most ambitious superhero movie ever attempted.
Till: Right, yeah. And the story is incredible.

CS: It's based in part of course on the two-issue story in "X-Men" 141 and 142. Havok doesn't feature in that tale, but there have been sequels to that comic story. Did you read the original or any of its sequels in preparation?
Till: I just read the original.

CS: There are rumors that James Marsden will reprise his role as Cyclops, if only briefly, in this film. So fans are wondering if the two of you might meet on screen.
Till: No. I really want to. I'd be looking forward to that. But all we really know is they share the same last name.

CS: Were you a fan of the original "X-Men" films growing up?
Till: Oh yeah, big time. The animated series and then the comics later. But yeah, I grew up with "X-Men" big time. I was a huge fan. I think I was the only one at work annoying the ***** out of everybody – "Yo, dude. We're in X-Men, bro!" [Laughs.] It was fun though. Too much fun. I loved those movies. And to be a part of them? It still hasn't hit me yet.

CS: In light of "Avengers," they're pioneering films.
Till: They pioneered the ensemble superhero film. Yeah!

CS: Having read the original comics in which this film's story takes place, can you comment on how faithfully the film mirrors those comics?
Till: No. [Laughs.] Actually, I can't because I’ve haven't even read the script for "Days of Future Past" because they are so [secretive].

CS: You just had your part?
Till: Yeah, exactly. I've been trying to piecemeal the story by talking to other cast members. But they're like, "*****, I don't know." So you can't even get the whole story yet. But I love that. Because I want to see it fresh, you know? So I like that I can't figure it out.

CS: Are there any shout-outs to Havok's original comic-book costume in this film? It was quite… distinct. Do you get a chance to work his headbands?
Till: No. Yeah, I'm so glad that's not in the movie. [Laughs.] That's the one thing… In the last movie the one thing I was really upset about. Not in the way John Dykstra, who I have so much respect for and is always creative, did it. I love that there was an arc for him. But when I found out initially, thirty seconds before I had to do those hula hoop things that I'd never really seen Havok do in the comics [laughs], I wasn't too happy about it. Bryan gave me a lot of liberty in this one to do what I wanted to do, and what I've seen in the comics, and maybe reinvent it a little bit. But that was the only thing that really kind of bugged me, and hopefully we can remedy that in this one. It's always out of his body in some way. It's never out of any specific part. Sometimes it's both hands forward. So I got to play around with it.

CS: Bryan lent realism to the concentration camp scene in the first "X-Men" film. Did he bring that to the Vietnam sequences in "Days of Future Past"?
Till: Wait till you see it. That's all I'm gonna say. [Laughs.]

CS: You mentioned you don't interact with the original cast. Do you get to reteam with any of the First Class cast?
Till: Yeah! But again, I'll leave that to the imagination, because I don't want to spoil it for other people, you know? [Laughs.]

 

[lastairbender]

Like this part about the powers:

"Bryan gave me a lot of liberty in this one to do what I wanted to do, and what I've seen in the comics, and maybe reinvent it a little bit. But that was the only thing that really kind of bugged me, and hopefully we can remedy that in this one. It's always out of his body in some way. It's never out of any specific part. Sometimes it's both hands forward. So I got to play around with it."

I like when i see him in the comic projecting from the hands...

I wonder what Alex would have to say about Beast's new look. Alex did name him.

 

[Great Mind(s)]

So are they like a mutant platoon in Vietnam?

 

[Angamb]

so glad to read he will share screentime with someone/some of FC cast!

hopefully on two scenes, and not just one.

I really want to see more of Havok on this franchise. I need MORE from the past X-men. Beast is not enought for me.

 

[Farren]

So are they like a mutant platoon in Vietnam?

Uh oh, I'm getting Origins vibes again....

 

[Great Mind(s)]

I hope not. I was actually thinking more like Watchmen...

 

[kasjan]

Looks like Stryker is using mutants again, this time in Vietnam.

 

[Angamb]

oh no please. I hope it doesnt involve Striker again :/

enough of the same ideas over and over

 

[kasjan]

So what's the reason Stryker is in this movie? He's definitely in army, and using mutants since he was young.

 

[Farren]

oh no please. I hope it doesnt involve Striker again :/

enough of the same ideas over and over

lol u know it probably with though.

We can't just have Havok as some guy in Vietnam who happens to be a mutant. Because, you know, that wouldn't be meaningful or realistic at all. He has to be recruited to The Mutant Special Forces Team, where we can make nods to a previous movie and he can meet Wolverine.

Here we are again, back to shoving as many mutants as possible into the frame no matter how pointless.

 

[Angamb]

so the only realistic way is to connect Havok and Striker?

are u serious? lol

in a world full of mutants, having a x-man as Havok on Vietnam war is faaaaaaaaaaar from unrealistic.

With a mentor like Charles Xavier that can control the mind of whoever he wants, well.... everything is possible.

But to connect Striker on this franchise with Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Deadpool, Gambit, young Cyclops, young Emma, SilverFox, and now Havok... sorry, I dont buy it.

it is a joke. a huge joke
