You beat me to it.The casting has beguin for new characters and younger versions of established characters.

 

[CyclopsWasRight]

OMG I'm so nervous. Hope they make good picks

 

[JP]

Cannot wait.

 

[marvelrobbins]

Like DOFP we can safely say Bryan SInger will keep fans informed of progress.

They may have first draft done If they are audeniting actors now.

Singer will likely be one to break actors being cast inless trades spills it first.Both Hugh Jackman and Halle Berry In DOFP were first leaked by trades.

It will be Intresting to see when new actors are announced.From past X films It would be around february with the April start date.But,It could be different this time.

If it's one thing I'm never worried about with this series it's the casting.

There's been very few bad calls through the whole franchise. Even when it was at it's lowest.

 

[CyclopsWasRight]

Gotta say I agree with that. Their choices have almost all worked out well

 

[psylockolussus]

The casting room looks a bit small and simple, lol.

Like I expected a bigger room, with nice-looking tables and chairs just like in the movies.

I can't wait for the casting announcements!

Except Wolverine remembers the OT

So does Xavier.

 

[ciscostudent561]

Exciting!!!

 

[GuestStar2004]

So does Xavier.

i don't think xavier knows that much, but i don't think apocalypse will make an issue of it either

i suspect the jean stuff with logan is something he knows about and obvious what the temple looked like and his and erics future selves

 

[marvelrobbins]

Xavier knows a few things about what originally happened not everything.

 

[HIA]

OMG I'm so nervous. Hope they make good picks

me too! mainly with young Scott and Jean, since I'd love to see both actors becoming the next big stars of the franchise

 

[kasjan]

Beast, Magneto and Mystqiue knows few things about old timeline too.

 

[FilmNerdJamie]

Xavier knows a few things about what originally happened not everything.

He read Logan's mind. He knows everything. The film even acknowledges this when he makes Xavier promise he'll still find them.

I loved Singer's twitter updates as a way of building hype gradually for the film. I hope we see the same for Apocalypse. The day we see the 1st pic of what Apocalypse will look like in all his glory we'll all be in meltdown.

If it's one thing I'm never worried about with this series it's the casting.

Yeah, I liked even some of the ones that were panned by other such as Gambit & Emma Frost. (not to say they were ideal but I still enjoyed both)

 

[def28]

Yeah, I thought Gambit was a good choice. Just would have preferred they had better material for him. Frost is someone they just can't seem to get right. Although January Jones looked near perfection as the character.

 

[Great Mind(s)]

He read Logan's mind. He knows everything. The film even acknowledges this when he makes Xavier promise he'll still find them.

But he doesn't remember everything old Xavier knew. He just saw Logan's memories and talked to Patrick Stewart.

 

[Iceman]

Yeah, I thought Gambit was a good choice. Just would have preferred they had better material for him. Frost is someone they just can't seem to get right. Although January Jones looked near perfection as the character.

I definitely don't think they got either of those 2 completely wrong. If they were to appear again I would have been cool. If recast also fine. Ideally I'd like if it was somehow possible for all the main X-Men (including these 2) to be used in the present at roughly the right age ..no Havok as Scott's dad for eg. Would also like if they could pursue similar relationships to comics so Gambit Rogue for a start.

 

[def28]

Yeah, I hope to see both back soon. Agreed on everything else.

 

[psylockolussus]

I thought January Jones was okay as Emma Frost, she just lacked in sparkle and energy. She nailed the cold part right but she was very aloof and I feel like she needed to be more aggressive which wasn't her fault. The only scene I found her aggressive is when she threw Magneto out of the yacht and I really liked that moment of her.

Taylor Kitsch was okay as Gambit, not the greatest choice as Gambit, but not bad either. I thought he was the best part of Origins. He definitely had chemistry with Hugh Jackman.

 

[GuestStar2004]

He read Logan's mind. He knows everything. The film even acknowledges this when he makes Xavier promise he'll still find them.

No he doesn't know everything, there is nothing in that scene that suggests he knows who logan is talking about

thing is I missed this the first time but all xavier see when he read logans mind was his pain, jean and flashes of weapon X for example, because just like on cerebro all he was seeing was pain

On the plane he says something like "you have seen all the bad, but you have also seen the good" so I assume he has seen more than we saw in that scene.
