I'm not even sure if Vinnie Jones is a bad actor. He's a badass and that's all he really does in his movies from whay I've seen. When I think Juggernaut I think Badass so I think they did pretty good job. It's not like you have to be a actor to do action anyways. Half the time it's a stunt double anyways. So I think with Juggs it will have little to do with acting skills.

These are fan question from SHH to XMF
Q: We know that Vinnie Jones and Ellen Page have multiple picture deals, but I was wondering about the other main players (i.e. Patrick Stewart, Halle Berry, Hugh Jackman, etc.).
Do you know or can you find out if anyone else has been signed on for more than one film with their new contracts. If you can find out that would be great. Thanks very much. - Steven C (Mar 25 2006)
A: The main players from X1/ X2 are not signed for any future X-Men films, with Hugh Jackman being the exception. Jackman will go on to star in the spin-off film WOLVERINE!
Besides Vinnie Jones and Ellen Page, Kelsey Grammer (Beast), Dania Ramirez (Callisto), and Ben Foster (Angel) have options to appear in possible future films, based soley on if their characters are needed.
This doesn't mean that they will definitely appear in future films/ spin-off's. Alan Cumming (Nightcrawler), Ray Park (Toad), Tyler Mane (Sabretooth), and Kelly Hu (Deathstrike) were all contracted and optioned for future films, and ended up not making the cut.
Q: Does Magneto know that Dark Phoenix is stronger than him and nobody can defeat Dark Phoenix? - Antwon (Mar 25 2006)
A: Does Magneto know how powerful Phoenix is? Oh, yes! Remember what Callisto said in the latest trailer? "More powerful that you." that was a reference to Jean.
When you watch X3, you will find out the ties that Magneto has Jean's early childhood, and why Jean decides to side with him, and not Xavier. Professor X better watch out!
Q: Is Multiple Man a main character or a cameo? Also who is the actor that plays him? - Antonio P (Mar 25 2006)
A: While his role is said to be small, MM's role is bigger than that of a cameo, according to sources. He's expected to have a couple of shining moments in the film!
The character will be seen in a eye-boggling battle with Wolverine in the forest, and is rumored to appear in the final battle as well. He will side with Magneto for most of the film. The role of Multiple Man is played by Eric Dane (TV's Charmed).
Q: Hey I just had a question. After X-Men: The Last Stand comes out and Wolverine and Magneto movies come out, what's gonna happen to you guys?!
I mean are you just gonna go and do a different comic book movie, or what? Just thought i would ask. - Chris S (Mar 25 2006)
A: XMenFilms.net will always be online, so no worries of the site mysteriously vanishing after May 26th! We will continue to post updates on X3's box office reports, the future DVD, and of course the spin-off's! In Fall 2006 we might be focusing on Fantastic Four 2!
Q: Your site is cool! How do you get so much info, and have you met any cast memebers of X-Men 3, or do you know them already? - Amon E (Mar 25 2006)
A: Thanks! How do we get info? From multiple sources! Some are connected with 20th Century Fox, and some are just really good finding info through contacts, etc! The only member from the X-films that I have personally met, is Halle Berry! I got to hang out with her for a minute (lol) at Comic Con International in San Diego.
She hugged me, and I even gave a kiss on the cheek! I'm an avid Halle fan, and a member of her official fan club. She really keeps in contact with her fans. That's a rarity in Hollywood!
Also, as many now know, X3 director Brett Ratner is a fan of XMF (yay!). While I haven't met him in person, I have chatted with him through e-mail. He's another great rarity in Hollywood. You can expect an exclusive interview with Ratner in the future right here on XMF!
Q: Ok, im confused on this whole Jean/ Phoenix thing. Will Jean be completley gone and Phoenix is just inhabiting her body?
Or will Jean be fading in and out and her and Phoenix are struggling over control of the body? Please explain it to me. - Antonio P (Mar 12 2006)
A: This will be a lot different from the comic book version of Phoenix. While the comic character is an alien entity which takes over Jean Grey's body, in the film it will be explained soley as an evolution of the character's powers. Jean will be seen being good one moment, and extremely bad in the other moment.
This is not the Jean Grey we once knew. She's very confused after her 'death' in X2, and is not all completly there in the head (crazy!). She finds out the facts on why her powers are going through this amazing growth, and that just adds to the problem, as you'll see in the film. Her powers are so massive, she will have little control over herself, and her emotions. People will get hurt!
Q: Your site is awesome. It is much better than the official site. I have a question. Why are there so many pictures of Colossus without being covered in steel, and only a few with the steel skin? It has been bugging me for a while now. - Andrew (Mar 12 2006)
A: Wow, thanks! Alright, to answer your question on Colossus... first off, Colossus is not always covered in steel. In X3, he only 'steels up' when he needs to in battle. Colossus uses his powers in the Danger Room scene, the battle at the Golden Gate bridge, and many more scenes.
A reason for not many pictures/ images of Colossus, is because his work is still being done in post production. Actor, Daniel Cudmore does where 'steel- looking prosthetics' in the film, but they're being touched up in post, and 20th Century Fox doesn't want you to see anything, unless it's finalized, and perfect!
Q: Since this is the last movie and its going to be lots of powerful powers being used, I wanted to know if Phoenix and Storm are Omega-Level mutants? - Javon (Mar 12 2006)
A: For those who don't know, Omega- level mutants are the highest ranking mutants, in terms of powers in the comic- universe. Jean/ Phoenix has been confirmed as being an Omega-Level mutant. Storm has not been officially confirmed as being one... but that doesn't mean she isn't one. Many believe she is!
Q: I need to know when X3 book is coming out? I love reading the book before the movie just to see what they put and and left out. - Christina (Mar 12 2006)
A: X-Men: The Last Stand novel will be released on May 16th! The book will be written by comic- fav, Chris Claremont! It'll feature around 352 pages, and be released through Del Rey Books!
Q: My sincere compliments to you and the great work you do on this website!
To be honest, I've never been an X-Men fan, until I saw the first Xfilm by Brian Singer... I was awed by it and the magic started.
I can't wait to see the movie this May and I'm very sad to read on your website that this X3 is going to be the final version....
I sooooooooo wanted to once be an X-woman in an X men film somewhere in the future, when I'm all grown up...! :-) I think we all want that... - Erica (Mar 12 2006)
A: You'll still have your chance, Erica! While X3 is the last film for this specific phase of the franchise, there are still spin-off films that will be coming our way in the future!
Q: In the trailer, it looks like there is a new president and he looks very familiar but i cannot find who the actor is who is playing him. Do you know who it is and what else he has been in? - FaithInJesus10 (Mar 12 2006)
A: Josef Sommer is playing the United States president, in X3! His previous work includes: The Elephant King, TV's Without A Trace, and Brett Ratner's The Family Man.
Q: Upon seeing the new poster pictures of X-3, I was quite puzzled by Jean Grey's costume. She seems to be dressed an awful lot like Magneto's daughter Wanda (the Scarlet Witch).
Is it a coincidence or is it possible Magneto is "adopting" Jean as his daughter- who has not been mentioned in any previous X-Films. Any info on this??? - Silverfish (Mar 12 2006)
A: I do see the similarities, too! It could be a homage to Scarlet Witch. Something also interesting to point out, is that Jean's wardrobe in X3 pays homage to her comic roots: her Hellfire Club outfit, and the dark red is inspired by the famous Dark Phoenix costume!
Q: Hey X.M.F. I have a question 4 u. What will pyro's role be exactly in X3? I know you can't give me every last detail but considering he's my favorite character in the X-Men films I could use all the info you can spare. - crazystar662 (Mar 12 2006)
A: Here's what Pyro actor, Aaron Stanford had to say recently about this:
"He's become Magneto's right hand man in this movie and in X2 he's very ambivalent. He's not sure where his allegiance lies. He's friends with Professor X but he also has this urge to spread his wings and find his power with the brotherhood.
In X3 he's definitely off the fence. He's decided where he wants to go. He's with the brotherhood and he really is allowed to fully explore his power in this. He's off the leash."
Q: I just want to know will they show the phoenix bird in the movie at least once? - alienated1234 (Mar 12 2006)
A: At least once? Oh yes.
Q: Hey XMF! There have been so many images hitting the net from X3 recently, and I haven't seen you linking to them on the site? Why is that? - Derrick (Feb 9 2006)
A: The recent leaked images from X3 have not been authorized from 20th Century Fox for release. The images have been leaked online through numerous sites.
Fox had informed us that the images were not supposed to be released, and have asked us to not post the images, as they're not approved by the studio.
XMF has had a long good standing relationship with the studio, so we will not post any of those specific images, that are coming from one specific person. The studio plans to release images officially either this or early next month, and you can always expect to see the latest authorized images here at XMF!
Q: Hello XMenFilms, I was wondering if the character Angel was going to morph into his evolution stage as Archangel. With the blue skin, metal wings and missle daggers. Thanks! - Judointellect (Feb 9 2006)
A: Ben Foster's Angel has been referred to as Archangel a couple times in reports and interviews. In X-Men: The Last Stand, Angel will not be turning into Archangel.
For those not in the know, that is the 'darker' version of the Angel character who had blue skin, metal wings, and a bad attitude. It's only feathers for this flick, and a 'mostly' good attitude! In the end, Angel will end up where he belongs!
Q: If they say the filming is done y not show it now? - Mully1901 (Feb 9 2006)
A: There's a long process of things to be done before a film is actually finished. While the production team has wrapped principal photography, there are still re-shoots, and pick-up shots to be done in March! The film also has to go through post production...the process of being edited, and having the special effect work put in.
With over 1000 shots to be completed, it's going to take some time! The film score has also not been recorded, or added in yet. Everything will have to be pulled together in order to meet their May 26th release date.
Q: Is Famke Janssen's characters Dark Phoenix the big story for the movie? And who designed the phoenix costume for Famke? - Anomynous (Feb 9 2006)
A: Jean Grey's role in X3 is major, and will cause chaos...literally! Costume designers Judianna Makovsky, and Lisa Tomczeszy had a hand in designing Jean's new threads in X3! The character will feature a few different outfits, including her original leather costume at a point in the film.
Q: How big will Psylocke's and Callisto's rolls be in X3, because im so happy Psylocke's in it as she is my favourite x-man, i hope she'll use her psi sword! - Jonatkin1 (Feb 9 2006)
A: Psylocke's role is rumored to be small, but should be pleasing to the fans. Callisto is said to have a very good dose of screentime in X3. Like that of Mystique in previous films.
Q: How will Beast and Angel be part of the team? Will they be recrutied, or what? I know Beast will have a pretty big role, and will we see him use those great acrobatic skills of his? - TJ (Feb 9 2006)
A: Though it wasn't mentioned in X1 or X2, Beast was one of Xavier's first students! When we meet him in the film, it'll be established that the character was an early member of the X-Men, but left the team to be the voice of mutants in the government, and in politics.
You'll get to see the character don an early X-Men uniform, complete with blacks and yellows (a nod to the comic costumes). Angel will join up with the X-Men later in the film, as well.
Q: What exactly will Cyclops be doing? I only saw him once in the teaser trailer. Will he play a important part, or will his part be more laid back? Also will he and Jean cross paths? - TJ (Feb 9 2006)
A: Cyclops and Jean will definitely cross paths in some emotional scenes. While small, Cyclops role will have importance to the events in the film.
Q: I heard on the internet today that the main focuse of X3 will be about Storm, I'm guessing this is likly to be a rumor but I would want to know for sure. Also, I want to know if Emma Frost, Blob or the senitals are in this film. - Guyanese_BadBai15 (Feb 9 2006)
A: Storm will have a substantially larger role than the previous films, and will have lots to do, both emotionally and physically. But is she the main focus of X3? No!
There's a trio of issues at hand in X3, and the government, Phoenix and Magneto are in the center of them. Storm's character will be involved in many aspects though, so expect her to truly shine this time out.
