Truly can't wait to see Mystique and Nightcrawler.

Hard pass on CG Mystique and Nightcrawler.

No way are these people sitting for long hours at the makeup chair at their age.

Got CGI to help with that now.

Hot take incoming on my part, so brace yourself: I would not be mad at Famke and Halle both sitting out these Avengers movies, even though my head is telling me either them or Sophie Turner and Alexandra Shipp will be returning.

Yes, we are in the Multiverse and yes we have Variants and all that fun stuff, but for Storm especially, bringing either of those actresses back is not the move and will further the colorist perception these film execs have of the character.

I have adored Halle Berry since Boomerang, but having her back as Storm after we had to fight like hell to get her back to form like this, is a step in the WRONG direction:



Leave it alone I say.

But that’s just my two cents.

 

[Silvermoth]

I think it would be a shame if the two main x-women sat it out. It kind of sends a message that men can age but women can’t and that’s already an issue in Hollywood.

Plus older Storm and Jean would be so fun

 

[Lily Adler]

Well now.…No X-Men movie ever reached 250 million domestic. Marvels most popular team was never able to make as much as Iron Man or Guardians of the Galaxy. There is a specific reason for that, and it was FOXs refusal to tap into their true potential.

Days of Future Past made them greedy and forget that the director was a twink hungry man who liked them underage and nonconsensual.

This was Superman with Avengers, Spider-Man, and Batman pointing and laughing.

Funny thing to mention, with Romijn and Stewart in the mix. Michael Dorne has commented on how far make up has come. Obviously, not doing full body paint on Romijn. If freakin Star Trek can consistently do great makeup better than the more expensive Star Wars shows, then yeah, I kind of expect good make up over killing a team of CGI artists, who have better things to do, like shrinking Namor's package.

I think that the people who attended his parties also helped there.

Seriously. I could see them ignoring Famke (though that’d seriously suck) but it’d be wild to not invite Halle Berry back. She’s one of the faces of the franchise, whether fans want to like it or not.

 

[BMM]

I think ignoring both would be crazy.

 

[CyclopsSummers]

I didnt want to see any x-men variants before 616 MCU X-men

Which universe X-men in Doomsday will be from ?

Fox 10005 : they are dead
worst Wolverine earth : they are all dead
838: may be alive
Beast/Binary earth : alive
or another universe

 

[BMM]

The same universe as the one Binary is in seems most likely.

 

[Scarlet Spider]

With Halle Berry, I'll just say that I want her back and Marvel does too.

Famke Janssen was a perfect Jean Grey. She was amazing.

 

[BoredGuy]

Never cared for Halle in the role, so I'm okay with her sitting out Doomsday
Though if the rumors of the Thor Corp being involved in Secret Wars are true I imagine someone will be playing her in that movie

No Famke is a shame though

And re: Mystique and Nightcrawler makeup, if they keep both characters in costume, I don't see it being a huge deal for them to sit through makeup on just their faces and hands
Use CGI to add Nightcrawler's tail and give him two toed-feet and you're good to go

 

[Chip Chipperson]

Wasn’t it already confirmed that there’s plenty of other cast members to be announced at a later date?

I’m feeling pretty confident when I say we are getting an MCU adjacent version of the fox X-Men universe. And this includes the rest of them like Halle and Famke. Other than maybe Logan, but they’ll just use the one from Deadpool and Wolverine anyway. Would also be cool to see Shawn Ashmore again as well.

 

[BMM]

It was. Like others have speculated, I think we’ll hear the rest of the announcements at SDCC. I wouldn’t be surprised to at least see Jackman, Berry, and Janssen there.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

Didn’t even think about comic con but yeah, would be pretty crazy to have a bunch of MCU and Marvel legacy character actors all up there together for one big photo op

 

[Scarlet Spider]

At least we know the GOAT will be back.

Spoiler

 

[JP]

I get the complaint with Halle. Especially since the MCU, thus far, has shown us that Storm is a BLACK woman. At least in ‘97 and What If…?

You get it. Using Alison Sealy Smith in What If gave me some hope though.

 

[omegamutant]

I just love that the FOX X-Men characters are getting some time to shine and perhaps a good send off. I know DOFP was a good ending for them but they didn't have the MCU treatment. Its crazy how they have been playing these characters for 20+ years.

Can't wait for them to announce more X-Men cast. Likely Jackman, Reynolds, Janssen and Berry. I want to say Paquin as well but I am so used to seeing less of her in these movies . Paquin would be the biggest surprise for me.

That depends on what year they are from. Logan also didn't reveal which X-Men died.

 

[BMM]

Jean Grey killed Mystique in 1992 in that universe, so it seems unlikely that’s the one that is being revisited.

 

[BobJM]

I’m in favor for that representation in the MCU Storm when she’s introduced, absolutely. But if the Fox X-Men are coming back, not seeing Halle as Storm would seem like a huge omission.

For the reboot, Marvel needs to be looking at Jayme Lawson for Storm.

 

[SumT]

how is it that none of us on here noticed that?

I thought they were reaching at first, but I looked at the full picture on the opposite end where the same kind of light is in the background and I don’t see a similar shadow being cast.

You know, that would be a neat idea for a teaser poster. The usual Avengers logo but it’s shadow is the X-Men logo.
