after you read that read this( the second page)http://comics.ign.com/articles/602/602754p1.html

seriously is this info true? if so i am not gonna go see the movie because in there it said that it was going to be wolverine-driven. i don't care if he is a fan favorite, i am not paying to see wolverine and his sidekicks, i am seeing x-men, not wolverines x-men. seriously it is really pathetic, why even make x-men movies if all we are going to see is wolverine and not the x-men.

Its true and Wasnt Xmen 1 and 2 Wolverine Driven anyway?

Also I want to see the Phoenix they mentioned. To Bad cyclops only in their for 2 seconds since he is going to superman movie and magneto storm and pro x not even confirmed to be the same people witch is crap. Gambit in their but they said dont expect him to play a major role. I think hes like collosus in the second movie.




Ewlll I just read that angel might be a girl.

yeah, if this movie is wrapped around the phoenix then it will severley suck, so much that i feel bad for the x-men. cyke is making a very, very small apearence in the film, yet he played a very, very big part in the phoenix saga, as did xavier and storm. rogue wasn't even w/ the x-men during the phoenix saga so how can she be there also. this is pathetic

The second articles a bit out of date isn't it.
The spin-off Zak Penn thing sounds a bit like New Mutants
I want a Mystique spin-off! (she'd be like mutant James Bond like in her solo series) and a Storm spin-off that doesn't star Halle Berry.

lol The first link isup to date and there is no storm spinoff or such

What I found funny I also read that The Superman people tried to get jean(The person that plays her) to be a character in Superman but I dont think she accepted it. Whats with Superman people taking all the xmen like Cyclops and now Jean, whos next Wolverine.

Time Warner = Parent company of DC + WB studios.
They took Singer and he took pretty much everyone that worked with him (bad for X-Men good for Superman Returns, just hope one movie isn't good at the expense of the other). Singer tends to cast people in multiple movies. He wanted Famke and the guy who played Bobby, but I think Famke didn't want the part and the guy who played Bobby is contractually obliged to X-Men 3.
There was a rumour that Jackman was gonna cameo in Superman Returns.

lol this crazy. They know they are making Xmen 3 and yet they want them. I rather be in the Xmen movie as a main character than Superman to be a random loser.

A new mutants flick...'course massacred with the Rogue, Iceman, Colossus, Kitty, and Jubilee gang, I suppose.

As for Mystique solo, definetly, I was saying the exact same thing in the Spin Offs thread. Working as a super spy on the missions Xavier can't send the X-Men on...how awesome. And Rebecca really delivers Mystique.

Nightcrawler gone...that's fricken moronic. He would have made an awesome X-Man...stupid Fox.

Angel and his father uncast...so I guess they ARE following the serum plot. Lame lame lame lame. Can't we have Mr. Sinister or something?! Oops, the second link said no Sinister. Bah humbug.

Well this has been dissapointing. New Mutants might be fun. MIGHT.

This is from a Site


"According to my sources, 20th Century Fox nixed the idea of up-and-coming Ashmore starring in Warner Bros' new Superman feature. Fox is telling actors who have options for the third, untitled X-Men film that it will begin shooting June 20th. That conflicts with "Superman Returns'" spring shooting schedule, which is anticipated to go through July 30. Ashmore is one of the few actors in the X-Men franchise that is contractually obligated to two sequels (one already being in the books). The other actors locked in include Alan Cumming (Nightcrawler), Aaron Stanford (Pyro), Anna Paquin (Rogue) and Rebecca Romijn (Mystique). Cumming confirmed the June 20th start date while speaking to the press for "Son of the Mask" over the weekend. My sources also say that Hugh Jackman (Wolverine), who did not have a third sequel option, has agreed to a new contract for the movie and has approval on the new director for the series. Unless a miracle occurs, James Marsden has already been removed from consideration as Cyclops after he took a smaller part as Perry White's son in "Superman Returns." We'll see if Marsden's loyalty to Singer was a smart career move."

And also from a site The same as above.

"What about the rest of the mutant crew? Expect Ian McKellen (Magneto), Patrick Stewart (Professor X) and Famke Janssen (Jean Grey) to return for the right price. Yes, Jean Grey 's character died at the end of the last flick, but as any fan of the comic knows, a "Phoenix"-like resurrection should occur. And Halle Berry? Well, the gossip rags published numerous stories about her contentious relationship with Singer and unhappiness with the small roles in the previous films. The gossip was pretty much on the mark. However, Berry's celebrity helped "X2" achieve its massive box office (do you recall whose image was second biggest on the poster after Hugh?). And with Singer out of the picture, it's up to Fox as to whether they want to pay enough to bring her back. Considering the "Catwoman" fiasco, she'd be smart to meet them halfway."

So true.Man this pisses me off.Why can't me and Xmarks the spot be the writers for this film!If Marsden wants to scout *****,that's pretty sad.Fox is going to end up raping these characters and i'm going to be when the public sees Cyclops as a prissy.I think the actors and the studio need to realize these characters are important to people and that Wolverine isn't the leader.

Lol I like Wolverine as much as the next guy, but the movie Is not Called Wolverine, and comic relief.

No kidding.A love how they did him,but God!
X1 and 2.Okay,we got wolverines stuff out of the way,now lets make a team.

Marvel doesn't really care about what people think. They keep making great sales doing what they're doing. Why listen to your patrons who say that they don't want Wolverine-centric movies, when people watch them anyway? I wish he'd up and die already.

How could we ever make the mistake of thinking that Jean Grey is an important character? Guess being one of the orignal five and Xavier's first student doesn't hold water. Neither does dying to save the X-Men's lives again and again...

I wish these people would get a clue.

I think Fox is doing most the movie making decsions though.

Its nice to know that fox doesnt care about money. Wolverine driven part 3. You ever seen the Cover of an Xmen Dvd lol It got Wolverine dead center big all the time cartoon or movie. Once I Saw something with Wolverine on the cover and the man wasnt even in it, he was just on the cover doing something kool. Oh yeah Wolverine wasn't realy the original Xmen anyway.

I do love Wolverine,but I want more Cyclops!

Do I like Wolverine? Yeah, he's alright. Do I think he's a cashcow that's overrated and overexposed. Definitely.

We already have Wolvie and Friends I & II
Next we have the story of Wolvie and the Phoenix (extra Wolvie hold the Phoenix)
Then after that an entire 4th (and probably a 5th) movie that's just Wolvie.

I wonder who the target audience is. Most of the people I know that went to see the movies didn't give a damn about Wolvie.

lol Wolvie and the Phoenix.

I think the mass public gets most into Wolverine.When I saw X2,when Logans first scene showed up people where clapping and cheering.

To me Cyclops Character looks just like the guy, and Should Partner up with Wolverine, because they work good togather.

In the comics.Movie wise they need work.

Stupid people don't they understand the sad lonely childhood that made Scott so strong and independent. The great tragedy of Charles and Magneto once friends now bitter enemies, and how much that could have been different if only Eric hadn't been through what he'd been through. The comic Kurt hiding his inner insecurities about being so different with his aloof jokey nature. Do none of them even understand Xavier's dream, and why Jean Grey was willing to give her life for it.

K that's enough fanatical ranting for now.

They just know Wolverine has cool claws.

No none of what you said, people care about. They rather Roarrrrrrrrr Slash. Weapon X gave me clawas roarr. Well buddy you would of been a loser without the claws, so be thankfull.

His bones would heal instantly and all wonky

Psh, I've never seen such terribly acted tension between two characters.

They also need to make Cyclops the proper leader and heroicness, rather than the girly man Cyclops that was not in the comics.

Well to bad because he not even in x3 that much. He is ugly and cyclops is a stupid character. I want more iceman

I dislike movie Iceman more than I dislike movie Cyclops... at least movie Cyke is a bit like the character he's supposed to be based on. Movie Iceman's just angsty and annoying and nothing like Bobby Drake.

Pyro is the only Character I like better in the movie than the comics

Yeh cos in the comics he's just a deranged Aussie with a crap costume. He's not a very well developed character, movie Pyro had more depth.

I know thats crazy, how the movie one is better.

this is exactly why Fox has so much pressure on the film makers. everyone wants there favorite character and they all want them to have more time. there are millions of fans and you hear each of them saying i want this, i want that, they got it wrong in the movies, wolverine is overrated but still they manage to deliver great x-men movies. to be honest they have only made one huge mistake by now and that's taking nightcrawler out. It's completely stupid. how will they explain his departure? i don't want anythng cliche or shitty it better be good. other characters are always welcome but i don't care who gets more screen time as long as they make a good movie with enough drama, action and some of the issues dealt with in the comics. I do believe they read forums like these sometimes to get ideas or the fans opinion and it just puts tremendous pressure on these guys.

Technically they don't have to explain his departure he helped out but he was never really an x-man. He's back in the Munich circus, like he was before Stryker abducted him.

I doubt they care about pressure. I think they care about themselves and the money they would make if they show wolverine eating flesh and two minutes of the others.

Two words...

Tom Rothman...

So true Pr.Notice how every comic book movie gets extreame publicity,yet X men gets the least?The Hulk had the biggest drop off rate ever for movie attendance,yet that year it was summer of the Hulk.Not summer of the X2.Rothman hates this franchise.Hellboy got more publicity than both X movies for crying out loud!Now i'm not saying hellboy is bad (i loved the movie),but Fox isn't happy about the X movies and adverising them.look how much Singer struggled for a decent budget.

After the the Hulks first week,it was still being pounded in advertisement more than X2.

Xmen does suck. That why the producers took so long to do the movie. They wanted to do it in 1995 but They said Who cares realy about Xmen. They were wrapped in bigger things Like Spiderman.

Overall it sucks. I like some of the characters, and they are good when they have their own book bythemselves but as a team they suck, and the movies sucked.

I'll admit the movie could be better suck is such a strong harsh word.

The hulk sucked,xmen sucked,daredevil sucked,elektra sucked, catwoman sucked, Spiderman and Batman Begins were the only good ones.

this is bull crap. i say we write a threatening letter to the marvel company

I second that notion.

I love the Xmen now!!

Already?

Well no. I only like some characters

Max Spidey. Whose the pug fugliest out of Beak, Skin, Artie and Leech. I'd say Beak but no one will confirm for me in the vs. forum.

Im not sure who some of the people you named are

Beakhttp://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/9/93/Nxmen125.jpg
Doesn't matter now.

As ugly as he is, he just saved the exiles...

He has a retarded mutant ability though if you can even call it that, he's an avian humanoid that can't fly.

Thats one nasty thing. He takes the Cake.

He has powerful friends though...

Im getting new Xmen stuff tomorrow or sunday.

Beak also got it on with Angel.

Angel sucks. I realy don't like that guy. I rather Beak.
