X-Men The Official MCU X-Men News and Discussion Thread

[CB Fan]

Yeah I don’t care, I want Halle back as Storm. We will have three powerful dark skinned female superheroes on screen in Shuri, Monica, and Maria Rambeau (and I’m assuming we’ll see Okoye) they can let Halle come back for one last hurrah.

Would also like to see Famke and Paquin come back. Especially if they let Paquin play a Rogue with that Sookie Stackhouse sass and get some flight and super strength at some point.

 

[Drizzle]

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.

I get it. I think it's probably inevitable that Halle Berry will be back if they're bringing in longtime absentees like Alan Cumming and Rebecca Romijn but that said, one thing I feel confident about is that they're not going to play around when it comes to casting MCU Storm. For all we know, the new Storm could be in Secret Wars alongside Berry and if those "Roger Rabbit" rumors are anything to go by, Alison Sealy-Smith.

I’m hoping subsequent cast announcements will confirm Jackman, Berry, Janssen, and Paquin returning too. Heck, I’ll take Omay Sy too for the full TAS lineup (plus Nightrawler).

I can't see Jackman not being in this, even if it's just a quick cameo.

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

I've never been known for my powers of observation. Lol.

 

[squeekness]

At least we know the GOAT will be back.

Spoiler

My top favorite character played by my least favorite actor.

 

[Drizzle]

I can't see Jackman not being in this, even if it's just a quick cameo.

I think they'll have him as a cameo but he'll probably be one of the main characters in Secret Wars.

That works for me; they should all be there but hopefully the underutilized characters get their moments to shine— both characterization AND action

 

[CB Fan]

They wouldn’t do it but I’d love to see Hugh’s Wolverine get set up for a big role only to get off’d early.

 

[BMM]

I wonder if we’ll see the return of Quicksilver and The Scarlet Witch as members of the Brotherhood?

 

[psylockolussus]

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

Its not a good look, if the poster women of the Ot films gets ignored . Halle Berry is an Oscar winning actress and have played Storm in 4 movies and have been in the center of the posters of those movies. Famke appeared in 5 X-Men movies, with the last two in special roles. There's just no way for Kevin Feige to discard both of them.

Really everybody are back including X-Men actors who played in 1 to 2 Fox-men movies. And yet they aren't bringing back Halle and Famke. That's just ridiculous to me.

I think they are spreading them out one by one. I don't mind if they are just being saved for one movie, but they can't simply ignore when they both brought back the main core (Ian, Patrick, Hugh, James in X1) and supporting characters who appeared in fewer X-Men movies (Rebecca, Alan, Kelsey).

 

[SumT]

This is just half the cast of Doomsday.
Rumor last year was that this movie had a roster of almost 60 characters, if not 60. All the core avengers are missing too, along with Jackman and Reynolds, the lead stars of the lastest huge Marvel studios film, so.... yeah, all of them will appear too for sure, and Marvel/Feige are keeping their announcement for later, likely Comic Con this July, that would be another huge moment for the fanbase, we all know thats Marvel Studios style, with the big event films, so..... we dont need to worry at all.

 

[psylockolussus]

Out from the unannounced ot cast members, my opinion:
-Anna Paquin, Halle Berry, Shawn Ashmore, Famke Jannsen - must haves. One last hurray

-Hugh Jackman, there's gonna be Deadpool & Wolverine 2, so expect him in Secret Wars with Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, Wesley Snipes and Robert Downey Jr.

-Daniel Cudmore - cool if they bring him back, if not, not really a loss. Colossus in Deadpool & Wolverine didn't do anything, so I guess that helps Daniel's chances a bit more but there are already so many X-Men for an Avengers movie.

-Elliot Page - I don't think Marvel Studios would ask Elliot to play Shadowcat. I haven't seen Umbrella Academy, so I don't know what Netflix did after Elliot's transition.

-The other villains. The only I see being asked back is Aaron Stanford. The rest, Ray Park, Tyler Mane, Kelly Hu, Vinnie Jones, Brian Cox and Dania Ramirez, maybe for a quick cameo.

They wouldn’t do it but I’d love to see Hugh’s Wolverine get set up for a big role only to get off’d early.

Now that would be an incredible way to drive tension and show how big the threat is

 

[CB Fan]

Sure and it would allow me to not have to see much more of his Wolverine lol.

 

[psylockolussus]

They are only going to kill the Wolverine early, if there's another Wolverine variant in the movie.

I can see other characters going out in the middle of the film for good, like Black Widow in Endgame, but not the Wolverine. Deadpool & Wolverine 2 is happening and probably not in the same fashion as Black Widow the movie.

 

[JP]

I adore Shawn Ashmore bt I don't need to see him again. Give me a queer Icman, please.

 

[Silvermoth]

Aaron Ashmore?

 

[SumT]

If this is the final fight for the universes survival, and they are confirming Ian, Rebecca and Alan... to me this is a sign that they will bring the whole X-Men team on Doomsday, tbh.
I wouldnt be surprised if Feige brings Iceman, Jubilee and Psylocke too. Its an alternate universe, so they wouldnt have any problem using both Lana and Olivia with the original cast.

My two cents.

 

[Scarlet Spider]

DanielRPK said Halle Berry is finalizing her deal for Doomsday.

 

[JP]

I'm still pinching myself that all of this is happening. We are finally getting X-Men that look like this:

We know its coming, but even then, we wont realize how f***** dope/amazing/mindblowing the experience will be until we see them on the big screen all together. We never experienced that feeling these last 24 years, so...... real talk, it will be a first for all of us x-men fans. (the adult team, Im talking, obviously) It will be a moment for the history, Im sure about it.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

I just had a scary thought.

Because the Foxmen are only fanservice, imagine they give them.... the Evolution uniforms.

 

[Silvermoth]

Goth rogue is fun though and I loved evolution

The Queen is inevitable.
