Days of Future Past 'X-men: DOFP' Official CAST Thread (announcements and discussion) - Part 1

[Majik1387]

All signs point to yes.

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

All signs point to yes.

Hmmm. Well, okay then. Hopefully he's bulking up now? I just see Bishop as this hulking black guy and Omar is not a physically intimidating presence at all.

 

[Majik1387]

Well Booboo has been bulking up, I'm sure Omar will get around to it.

I just thought of something; could Canto be a recast of Gambit?

How does Gambit relate to fire?

 

[Majik1387]

Depending on the artist drawings, I've seen his powers shown as pink/purple fire charged before being thrown.

I'm not throwing Sunspot possibility out, but considering the age of the actor, he definitely looks like he could be an older Gambit.

 

[SterlingDee]

Could one of the gaps next to Halle Berry and Anna Paquin be for James Marsden (and maybe Famke Janssen?)

If either Famke of James is coming back in a real role, and they are represented on that wall, then only one of them is coming back. There could always be uncredited cameos though, who knows. I think it's more likely that a well known actor has been cast as Nixon and would occupy the photo spot before Halle. I suspect whoever that castmember is, he or she will not be announced until last, possibly months into shooting.

Adan Canto fills up one of the spots after Anna Paquin - those spots are for minor characters/actors (think Colossus, Jubilee, Callisto etc.). There are 2-4 of those minor characters (& cameos?) spots left.

ETA: I guess if they came back in cameos, James and Famke could be the final two spots on the wall (an uncredited cameo space perhaps?) but I wouldn't bet on it.

[marvelrobbins]

Canto Is probally one of them after Anna Paquin.And whoever Is playing Nixon likely one In between Peter Dinklage and Halle Berry.

If James Marsden and Famke Janssen make cameos at end It will likely be uncredited and we may not find out untill shortly before release.

yes, thank you for summarizing my post: I guess you did provide a TL;DR version

I don't really think a guy who looks like a teen is right either for warpath . Both should be bigger guys. Not talking swarzenegger size, just not zac effron size......

There's plenty of buff black actors

I know the races are wrong... But cantos physicality would be better suited for warpath and booboo would be more fit for sunspot

 

[psylockolussus]

Are we assuming that Omar is playing Bishop? Is that the consensus with you guys?

We've been assuming that since Sy was announced to be in the movie.

But Booboo is wider and huskier.

 

[Sawyer]

Even though I've seen it tossed around here a few dozen times, I'm not sure I'll ever be able to take the name Booboo seriously.

Well its not his birth name, its just his screenname.

 

[Mrs Vimes]

That someone would actually think that Booboo makes a good screenname to go by makes it even more ridiculous. At least if it was his real name you could always blame the parents

 

[henzINNIT]

Very true. Whenever I hear that name I just think of that hideous little girl.

 

[X-Maniac]

Yes it is a strange choice of screen-name.

Maybe his agent is only smarter than the average bear.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

But Booboo is wider and huskier.

He does look better there... But he still looks like a twink version of warpath which..... Im not entirely happy about. He'd be better suited for mutants typically depicted as younger.... (at least in build) like the new mutants or any of the other younger xmen. Its just another weird choice to me. And it seems like its just another one of Singers "crushes" he wants in a gig that he's notorious for . Because booboo other then hair and nationality doesn't physically look anywhere close to warpath..... He's not intimidating at all.... Like the name also suggests.

 

[Angamb]

maybe Fox and Bryan are planning to use him again on the future, so its not that bad to start with a teenager Warpath

That doesnt mean he can be really badass on the movie. He could even act like a villain, even if he isnt. Its all about what Bryan wants and how they portray the role and his powers.

 

[wikox]

what is the problema with the age? rogué and iceman were teenagers in X1

 

[spideyboy_1111]

For me its more about build. Those who are pretty muscular tend to look a bit older. Im just not fond of an immature looking warpath is all. Rogue and iceman worked because they've been depicted as younger before. Especially in origin.

Booboo i could buy as being called Proudstar but.... Warpath he ain't.

 

[wikox]

I dont understand. BOOBOO' facial features are correct for warpath and today there are many Young muscular

 

[spideyboy_1111]

Eh he just isn't anywhere remotely close to warpath imo. He looks far too juvenile in the face and build for the role imo

 

[wikox]

ok ok ,do not get mad,I dont sure of That, I am spanish, you are american, you will know more than me ... but I think That the old man of southamerica and the american indian come of the same men: the genetic siberian.
