The big advantage of the story line including the Hellfire club is it still has basically human characters where if it was apocalypse or the sentinels your looking at some serious digital effects for every scene that they are in and then you have budget issues to look at and though it would be nice to see these characters on the big screen you have to wonder what else would suffer due to this expendature and the problems to get the film green lighted with such a high budget plan.
As a side thought how about X-Men 2 1/2 Wolverine finds some answers finally as in X-Men he joined them for answers and 2 was about the weapon x base and hints at xavier knowing things but wanting him to find out for himself
I'm glad Alan is coming back for another movie. I have a feeling that Hugh Jackman will be back too. He said he had a blast making the movies.
I know it sounds harsh, but I wouldn't mind seeing Cyclops go. Not the character, but the guy who plays him, whatever his name is. I think he over-did the role.
Jackman has yet sign but have read that most of the others have minus Hale, patrik stewart and sir ian Macellan
though the last two have stated that if the story is good enogh they will return Mcellan also said that he couldn't imagine X3 without Magneto, and given his previous performances I doubt anybody could argue differently
MaverickIce theres already a thread about that.
I read this in anothere forum! I read it I didn't write it!
"Candy sends in some more X3 tidbits. This time she states Access Hollywood ran a report indicating Gwen Stefani, of No Doubt fame, is interested in the role of Dazzler: "they said that Gwen Stefani of No Doubt and the upcoming movie "The Aviator" with Kate Beckinsale, coincidentally, has been inquiring on a possible part in X3. They said the logical choice would be Alison Blair/Dazzler, who was a former singer. Also, I don't know how credible this is, but I read on a site a little while ago that Bryan Singer said Gambit wouldn't have anything bigger than a small part, because he's too similar to Cyclops in powers and too similar to Wolverine in personality." Thanks Candy for the heads up!"
