Sequels X-Men: First Class

[Mad Ones]

If the way he handled a teenage Rogue is any indication on how he will handle these young characters, then I think the drama and seriousness will definitely be there.

 

[Angamb]

definetly!!

wow, just thinking about it... Im getting really excited.

Imagine Africa, a dark night, raining, with a young Ororo creating caos... everyone scared... and some scenes later, Xavier talking to her.... and finally she joining his school...

 

[Nathan]

I hope the movie won't be all too serious, at least not all the time. I like the tone of X1 and X2, but with First Class, I wouldn't mind to see some typical, little more lighthearted, teenager moments.

I'd love to see some X-Men Evolution moments. Like they are all playing something together, like baseball, dodgeball or whatever and then they start to use their powers and it suddenly turns into some kind of mutant powered sport.

 

[Mad Ones]

Yeah, that would be really fun to see. MUTANT BALL!

Or maybe a danger room session, seeing the kids go up against small obstacles (instead of a simulated scenario) and use their powers in creative ways. Something I've wanted to see on the big screen.

Keke Palmer would'nt be bad as storm

 

[Angamb]

why everyone is posting 20 years actors??

Jean was really young on X3....

I want younger x-men! we'll have time to see them older later.

 

[Deaths Head II]

I would like if they maybe showed the origin scenes they were originally planning to show in X-Men.

Like Storm getting picked on in her African village because of her white hair until she gets upset and creates hail.

Cyclops finding out about his optic blasts in the bathroom during a dance (at least I think that was the originally planned origin).

 

[Angamb]

I like the Africa scene, if they dont do it, Ill be mad. Its a great concept, they HAVE to use it here.

and about Scott, Im a bit curious about how theyll introduce him, since he appeared on Wolverine... (what a horrible idea to include him there)

 

[Project862006]

they can ignore it like deadpool is ignoring it

 

[Angamb]

I hate this kind of decisions...

 

[Nathan]

Not if the previous movie was totally mediocre and ignoring it helps the movie.

 

[Spider-Vader]

I hope they keep the actor from 'Wolverine' though. He seemed like he could do the role justice.

 

[Duneboy]

Smart move on marvel's part in bringing Singer back into the fold. I'm sure he'll not disappoint.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

He pulled out of negotiations because they were dawdling offering him a contract, they were essentially trying to get him on the cheap. Now who are you going to go for? A studio trying to underpay you and one who interfears all the time or a studio that offers you a lucerative contract and complete freedom to make the movie you want too?

I know which option I would go with. And I couldnt care less what the actors said to be honest, non of them spoke highly of Ratner either and plenty of hated on James Cameron despite getting career best performances out of them and making excellent movies.

The fact of the matter is Fox dropped the ball by not signing him up as soon as X2 was a success, and then dawdled, THEY lost out, its as simple as that, he never signed any contract because they were in general being Fox.

I have no sympathy for Fox at all and every sympathy for Singer because I was on here every day while it unfolded and know what happened.

it's just very interesting to me to see how suddenly everyone's opinion on singer suddenly change now that we've gotten bad xmen movies and he's signed on for First Class is all. The guy is no savior, and It's incredibly humorous to see people naively treat him like one.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

who says deadpool is ignoring it? his laser blasts quit working, his mouth is undone all by the end of XOW and all he needs is his swords pulled out of him and he's pretty much a normal deadpool. Hell stryker's experiments could be even what gave him cancer.

 

[Mad Ones]

A lot of people really liked X2... it's not all of a sudden, it's been acclaimed since it came out. The movies out since that one have sucked, so no wonder people who liked Singers movies are happy and excited now. There wouldn't be this level of optimism if a different director was announced (unless it was someone huge).

I see no one doing any such thing. :/ Though you're making him out to be this great satan.


Anyway, reading the article again.. where does this "20-something" thing come from? It's outside of Singer's quote. Where did Variety get that from?

not trying to make him seem like satan, but I'm not going to suddenly feel relieved he's back either. I'm remaining skeptical like i have with nearly every director handling a comic movie. Singer did alot right, but alot wrong, mostly with characterizations. (rogue is not rogue, iceman is not iceman, scott was a shell of the real thing, storm was a cardboard cut out in practically most of both films, etc)

infact... i'd say the only characters in the 2 films he got right (or made better then the comic book versions) were Magneto, Xavier, Mystique, Stryker, Nightcrawler, and arguably wolverine. Those i felt were the most stand out performances of his to films, and by far the most memorable characters.

and? one great x-men movie does not suddenly make him a god. before X3 came out people still found alot of faults in the 2 singer x-men films. Story wise they were great, but most of us agreed they were not "the x-men" but none the less still good films.

Fantastic Four (more or less), ironman, spider-man, inc hulk, all proved you dont have to sacrafice majority of source material in order to tell your film. Singer changed alot of what made the X-men so great in order to make it feel "more real". I will never say his films were bad (they werent at all) X2 is still one of my top comic films... but I still think X3 made it feel much more like the comic... for the reasons below

-The X-men finally fought as a team
-The mutants weren't restrained to using there powers only when needed
-Mutants were finally allowed to fly
-They didn't focus on wolverine for the majority of the time
-I also feel the action scenes were a bit better. At least not "wolverine fights this person"

 

[Mogwai]

this is going to be about the original 5, right?

 

[Project862006]

^not including iceman and angel ofc

Funny enough, I completely agree. But, I accepted those differences a long time ago.

I just appreciate Bryan as a good story teller. I mean, he wrote the story for X1, X2, and now X3. Something that Ratner and Hood didn't do for their films.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

original 3 (jean,beast, cyclops) + most likely storm... + who ever else they decide to add (hopefully if only 5, it's banshee)

I accept it as a different universe... as i will the original (if 5) not being the same as the comic... But there's several things I really would not enjoy accepting...

1) if it's not a true reboot (which it's most likely not) don't ignore any other X-films continuity. Good or bad, unless it's very vague (such as the events in which jason stryker caused his mother's death)

2) majority of XO:W's freed mutants becoming the first X-team

3) Xavier and Magneto being played by other actors when the x-men are the same age or older then jean was in X3's opening, or Cyke in XO:W (yea, this one is going to be hard, at least for ian to return, and if half the film is a flashback (sorta combining the magneto film with first class) then yeah im fine with different actors for a 20 something xavier and magneto. But not a 30-40 something xavier and magneto.

fox has already set up this world, and unless we get a true reboot, i don't really want to see anything that really just "takes a dump" on it's continuity. That's a big pet peeve for me in movies... much like how i felt about (though it was still vague), Wolverine's origin in XO:W visually differed alot from X2's.

 

[Mad Ones]

-They didn't focus on wolverine for the majority of the time

This I can't agree with. Most of the interactions in the film were between Wolverine and someone else, and even worse in X3 he was less true to his comic book character. Yeah, Wolverine the leader of the X-men?

But I agree that Singer changed a lot, and fans have every right to be disappointed, upset, etc at them. But they never bothered me too much (aside from Cyclops and Storm being shallow characters). For example, people didn't like his Rogue because she was so different from comic book Rogue, but I absolutely love the character. She provided so much heart and emotion in X1 and his ability to tell a story and get the message through was great, and that's what I feel is most important. Not mutants using their powers for "fun" or flying all over the place.

That's why I'm excited he's back.
