Hiya ppl, (I'm new, saw the X3 thread and decided to join),
Is anyone else worried about Vinnie Jones as Juggernaught? I think he'll probably feature largely in the film... as I don't see that you can have juggernaught as a sideline charecter, he breaks too much stuff.
Phoenix will blatantly make an appearance, though I wouldn't be surprised if its not central to the movie, I expect it'll come near the end.
4 hours! Like a film company would ever let that happen; even Lord of the rings was cut to 3 and a half, and why bother 'ending' the X-Men series at three? makes little sense given how much material there is. As an aside Spiderman is officially doing a minimum of five with an option of at least two more apparently.
Oh yeah, did anyone else take a look at the production credits? Well Joss Wheadon isn't on them, which is what I checked primarily (shame 🙁 ), but one Mr Hugh Jackman was listed as a producer I believe, seems he's reaping the benefits of being probably the most prominent (and possibly best) charecter in the series thus far.
(Jeez I've rambled a lot... I'm done)
I think they're too different for them to act the same. However, I wasn't a fan of Buffy, so I don't know what Whedon could screw up. I'm not a fan of Wonder Woman either, and probably the only reason why (if) I see it would be just to see another comic book film. Exceptions being Catwoman and Elektra of course for me, everything else so far I've seen....but if I dont' really like it, I don't care, I mean, I've never heard of Luke Cage, so I don't give a shit if they murder that script up, or V for Vendetta, or Iron Fist or anything like that. Just as long as they don't screw up my primaries...

X-men and superman are my primaries... look what happened to them... 🙁
Release Date Note: (6/2/03) The tentative release date of May 5th, 2006 is the same relative weekend, three years later, as the May 2nd, 2003 release date Fox gave X2: X-Men United. (4/9/04) That date is confirmed. (3/23/05) Fox has bumped the date back three weeks to the very prime Memorial Day weekend date of May 26th, 2006.
Title Note: (6/2/03) The title of 'X3: X-Men 3' that I'm currently listing this movie under is not official, as there is currently no official title for this movie.
Cast: Hugh Jackman (Logan, AKA Wolverine), Patrick Stewart (Professor Charles Xavier), Shawn Ashmore (Bobby Drake, AKA Iceman), Halle Berry (Ororo Munroe, AKA Storm), Daniel Cudmore (Piotr Rasputin, AKA Colossus), Famke Janssen (Dr. Jean Grey), James Marsden (Scott Summers, AKA Cyclops), Sir Ian McKellen (Erik Lensherr, AKA Magneto), Anna Paquin (Rogue), Rebecca Romijn-Stamos (Mystique), Kelsey Grammer (Dr. Hank McCoy/Beast), Vinnie Jones (Cain Marco/Juggernaut), Ben Foster (Warren Worthington/Angel), Ellen Page (Kitty Pryde/Shadowcat)
for you wolverine fans
Wolverine Note: (6/1/03) Officially, Hugh Jackman has not yet signed on for 'X3.' However, he is a bit of a Catch-22, because there have been several remarks made to the effect that Fox will never do an 'X-Men' movie without Wolverine. In other words... if he doesn't sign on, the movie probably won't happen. So, I suspect that Fox will do what they need to do to get Jackman to sign on (ie, I think finding a new actor for Wolverine at this point is probably not what they will pursue). (3/24/05) Hugh Jackman is officially signed on for this third movie, as well as a solo 'Wolverine' movie scheduled for 2007.
Cast Unlikely to Return: (6/1/03) The cast member from the first two movies most likely to not return for the third movie is Halle Berry (Ororo Munroe, AKA Storm), due to her rising profile as an A-list star, and the script difficulties of keeping Storm's role in each of these ensemble movies large enough to do her status justice. There are rumors that Fox may someday develop a 'Storm' movie for her to star in, however. (11/18/03) According to USA Today, Halle Berry is still considering returning for this third film. According to her costar Shawn Ashmore (via X-Men Hype!), besides budgetary concerns, the biggest requirement for Berry to return might be for her hours to be shortened, and her role lengthened. Although that sounds contrary, what he *means* is that she doesn't want to have to stay in Vancouver for six months during the entire shoot like most other cast members have to. (3/24/05) "Variety" reports that Halle Berry is indeed in talks to return, though reports about the script suggest Storm's role may be small. There have been recent rumors that James Marsden might not return as Cyclops, but it appears he probably will. (8/2/05) Alan Cumming will not be returning as Nightcrawler according to his official site.
New Mutant Notes: (6/2/03) In a special screening of X-Men in Los Angeles the week before the release of X2, screenwriter David Hayter revealed that the character most likely to be introduced in this third movie is original X-Man Dr. Hank McCoy, AKA The Beast. What is unclear is whether the same actor who had a small cameo as McCoy, Steve Bacic, would return in the role, or if Fox would seek someone a bit more famous. Of course, if Dr. McCoy has already evolved into the blue-furred version of Beast by the time of this movie, that problem may solve itself. Other likely candidates that have been mentioned or rumored for either 'X2' or 'X3' in recent years are original X-Man Warren Worthington III (AKA 'Angel'😉 and Remy LeBeau (AKA 'Gambit'😉. In that same talk, Hayter said that he doubted Gambit would ever have more than a small role because he's too similar to both Cyclops (powers-wise) and Wolverine (personality-wise).

Some more minor casting news.
Haley Ramm cast as young Jean Grey.
So I guess we can assume there'll be a flashback of Jean's past.
I don't care as much which characters they add, as long as there's a genuine/plausible reason for it. It's worse adding characters for the sake of adding them when they serve no purpose to the story whatsoever.
