I really would of liked to have seen Alan Cumming as Nightcrawler and Ben Foster as Angel in the future scenes instead and have them maybe replace Sunspot or Warpath. I think they could have easily given Angel the tracker role that Warpath got and you could have said that Angel has strong eye sight because they gave Kitty a 2nd mutation, so why not Angel. Angel in his place would have been a vast improvement as, whilst not terribly effective at fighting Sentinels, he could have served as the lookout instead while looking much more visually impressive than Warpath.
Regarding Nightcrawler though, you could argue that he wouldn’t have been anywhere near as exciting as Blink in those future scenes. The tactics and complexity she afforded to the team were something Nightcrawler just couldn't offer. Blink was one of the highlights of the future scenes, but it would have been nice to see Alan Cumming again considering this could be the last time we see the OT cast again, but Blink was a great replacement for the ’teleporter’ role. You could also argue that if you brought EVERYONE or most characters from the OT back, it would defeat the purpose of the sense of danger in the future if everyone is alive.
Also, I would of liked to have seen Blob and Avalanche in the Vietnam scene instead of Ink and that other random spike mutant as that would have been a nice nod to Mystique’s brotherhood lineup in the DOFP comic. I mean how awesome would it have been to see Mystique standing there with Havok, Toad, Blob, and Avalanche.
