Days of Future Past X-Men Origins: First Class--Post Your Casting Choices Here

[JP]

Is she the only talented black actress out there?

I don't understand the question.

 

[Project862006]

she seems to be the only black actress suggested here and she is the IT thing atm

zoe is far too old to play first class storm who is in her teens

 

[JP]

Firstly, she is not the only actress that has been suggested.
Secondly, we really have no idea what the age range in First Class will be. Only that it's before X1.

 

[Project862006]

first class means first x men so yeah it only makes sense for them to be younger zoe is like 30 anyways

 

[Phoenix_Flare]

hmm I just had a thought if Angela Bassette had portrayed Storm then I could def. see Keke Palmer being young Ororo in this franchise....

 

[Project862006]

she is my #1 choice

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

how could he it would ruin continuity big time

FOX is making this film. Trust me when I say they would find a way to ruin continuity. They already have in the murdering of Jean, Scott and Xavier in X3--hence the need to now go back in time and do this movie. x 1,000,000,000

No.

But she looks more Neegra than Halle Berry. LOL

As far as Keke Palmer--she's a talented, cute young actress. But why the suggestion for Storm? I don't see her growing into Halle Berry looks as an adult, do you? At least Zoe could somewhat pass; she has exotic looks like Halle.

That's not ruining continuity, that's just a stupid decision. Fox has broken continuity a lot with X-Men Origins: Wolverine though with the completely different Sabretooth, the non-Southern Stryker, and the Cyclops that can't piece together the fact that the guy with claws he heard tear up the Stryker facility is the same guy he meets in X1.

I agree that it's a stupid decision. But it's also a major diversion from continuity. As a result, they can't go further--they can only do what they're doing--going back in time to f*** up the past too. LOL

I don't understand the question.

I was asking that because you said that she is talented. That may be, but that doesn't mean that she should play Storm. Not that you're saying that, but that's one thing that annoys me about Hollywood. They pick one black actress who they seem to cast in every single role for a black woman. I mean, does she have to be in Star Trek, Avatar AND X-men? There are many talented black actresses out there who are younger and more fit to play the role. That's all I'm saying. I really would not be happy if she were cast.

No.

But she looks more Neegra than Halle Berry. LOL

I guess that's true.

Not to mention that they screwed up big time making Gambit older than Scott. /fangirl

Really? Because you genuinely believe she's a bad actress/miscasting for Storm or because she's the current IT-Girl in Hollywood?

I just want a Neegra Storm. Is that so wrong? [BLACKOUT]Technically Zoe still doesn't qualify--she's not even black!!!! [/BLACKOUT]

 

[katie_girl09]

Really? Because you genuinely believe she's a bad actress/miscasting for Storm or because she's the current IT-Girl in Hollywood?

I believe she would be miscast AND I'd believe she was only cast because she's an it-girl (just as with Halle Berry). So both, really.

Um, I think she'd make a fantastic Storm. Is that hard to understand?

I mean, does she have to be in Star Trek, Avatar AND X-men?

Does Robert Downey Jr. have to be in Iron Man AND Sherlock Holmes? I mean, there are other talented white men out there...
I really don't understand what you're trying to say.

Is it hard to understand that I don't think she'd be a good Storm?

Does Robert Downey Jr. have to be in Iron Man AND Sherlock Holmes? I mean, there are other talented white men out there...
I really don't understand what you're trying to say.

He most certainly did not. But that kind of thing is far more noticeable with black actors/actresses because there are so few that Hollywood recognizes. That is what I'm saying.

 

[JP]

I think your philosophy is incredibly flawed.

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

Oh lord. Here we go...

:heart:

 

[X-Maniac]

Saldana looks right for a younger Storm, but she is a rather obvious choice and she probably isn't young enough for First Class which is supposed to be the very first students at the school - ie kids and teens.

Since when have the films followed continuity? The films are their own continuity - anyone who doesn't get that by now is doomed to endless valium prescriptions.

And what's wrong with Jean dying in X3? Isn't that the fate of the Dark Phoenix?

Let's get real here...

 

[Cuyan]

She was supposed to be Phoenix? Could have fooled me.

 

[X-Maniac]

She was supposed to be Phoenix? Could have fooled me.

Well, you know, gold thigh-high boots, a bright green leotard and devouring an entire sun to kill an alien planet in the process were probably never really on the agenda...

 

[JP]

Let's get real here...

No, not necessarily.

 

[Phoenix_Flare]

hmm i think actress Jurnee Smollet would make a good young Storm...I could care less if she doesn't look like Halle,

*NO WOMAN WILL EVER HAVE THE BEAUTY THAT IS HALLE,SO PPL NEED TO STOP THINKIN' THESE YOUNGER ACTORS NEED TO RESEMBLE THEIR ADULT COUNTERPARTS THEIRS ONLY SO MUCH HAIR/MAKE-UP CAN DO!!!*

just give her a decent white wig and a good dialect coach to teach her to speak w/a Keyan accent and I'll by it...
