LOL. As big as poker is right now, Marvel is totally missing the boat on not putting him on the screen.
That's true. Never thought of that. They could really use him in a lot of different marketing scenarios.

Colossus is the guy who turned to solid steel in the second movie.

He was probably one of the most heroic x-men. Too bad he died in the comic books.

So why is in the movie if he died?

Are the movies extensions of the comic books? Or basically, stand alone type things.

Kind of a mixture.

For instance...Rogue and Iceman never have anything romantic in the comic books. Rogue falls for Gambit.

Rogue is a full grown woman in the comic books. She was originally a villian and permanently stole another super hero's powers. She is super strong, almost invulnerable, and can fly. Unfortunately she steals part of the psyche as well. This is why she eventually seeks out professor X to help her.

Her tie to Gambit is that they both have shady pasts.

The only characters that have truely been done correctly in the movies are Professor X, Magneto, Cyclops, and Wolverine.

Oh and Mystique. They have been dead on with her.

Interesting, thanks.

I saw X-Men 1 and I actually enjoyed it. I really like Anna Paquin.

I might have to go see X-Men 2 now :)

X Men 2 is better than the first. Much better.

The special effects for Nightcrawler are unreal. I love just watching the first five minutes of the movie.

Definately the first 5 minutes of nightcrawler breaking into the whitehouse was the best part of the movie. :thumbup:

Oh, man. I just watched the trailer for X3. I'm psyched.

Angel looks pretty great. The short snippits of Beast look good, too.

Well after falling for Magneto first ;)

I'm just curious with the introduction of Colossus into a more mainstay character in the movies if they're going to introduce Magneto's kids (namely his daughter, The Scarlet Witch).

Pretty sure Magneto happened during one of the splits between Rogue and Gambit.

FWIW, right now both the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver (Magneto's son) are playing a huge role in the Marvel Universe.

Psylocke Joins the X-Men 3 Villains
Source: The Hollywood Reporter
December 29, 2005


The evil mutant assassin Psylocke has joined the lineup of X-Men 3, which 20th Century Fox will release on May 26, 2006.

The Hollywood Reporter says the character will be played by Filipina actress Mei Melancon, who previously worked with "X3" director Brett Ratner in Rush Hour 2.

Psylocke, who has had several incarnations in the Marvel comic book series, is best known for her fighting and telepathic skills as well as an ability to transport herself and others through shadows.

In the film, she will fight against the X-Men as a member of Magneto's (Ian McKellen) Brotherhood of Mutants.

What they had problems finding real villians? They should have done the Hellfire Club. Much more interesting than Brotherhood Redux with heroes as villians.

Patrick Stewart on X-Men 3
Source: TrekWeb.com
December 30, 2005


TrekWeb.com says UK's DreamWatch magazine has a new interview with Patrick Stewart in which he talks about X-Men 3. Here's a clip:

"The script, I believe, is the best script of the three." he said "It's very intense, it's very emotional, it's very personal about the individuals that we've already got to know in the first two movies. It has some astonishing set-piece sequences. It has a number of quite significant deaths. [From] what I've seen so far, I think, it's likely to be extraordinary. Some absolutely outstanding work is happening in Vancouver - including from some of the new people who've come onboard ranging from Kelsey Grammer to Vinnie Jones, who are now part of the X-MEN family, If anyone saw Brett's RED DRAGON, which I thought was an outstanding film, I don't think they have any reason to be nervous."

Kelsey Grammar as the beast?! :biglaugh:

Ok, I saw the trailer, and it does look pretty damn good. I'm probably most shocked about the 'Frasier' casting. This should be interesting. Is that all make-up on him, or is it CGI? It looks like a mix of both to me, but that's only from the short glimpses in the trailer.

Jackman on X-Men 3
Source: DavidKoechnerRules!, PP

Entertainment Weekly has posted a new interview with Hugh Jackman in which he talks about X-Men 3. Here's a clip:

There's a lot of things we really tried to get in 1 and 2 which -- I don't mean to be blunt -- were just real expensive and we couldn't get them in until 1 and 2 were so successful. So there's some sequences there that the fans -- if you go to that midnight screening on the first night, they'll just be going ballistic. There's some specific choreography, famous fighting moves, that we use in this movie that we haven't been able to do before.

:fans:

In the newest issue of GameInformer, they had an interview with one of the creators of the game coming out before the film. The game itself will help explain the storyline branching the 2nd and 3rd movies. The game's writers were also those of the who wrote the first 2 movies.

The storyline for the game revolves around members of the X-men returning to the flooded base in Canada to get the parts of the Dark Cerebro in part 2 to reassemble the one in the X-Mansion. The X-men are surprised to find that the flooded base is not abandoned but fully functioning with something seemingly evil happening there. It will also explain why Nightcrawler is not in the upcoming film

There were some interesting tidbits that were told that will likely appear in the movie:

-Colossus becoming more of a major character (nothing unexpected there)
-The introduction of Multiple Man (don't remember him), Silver Samurai, SENTINELS :)fans: ) and Master Mold all hinted to be in the upcoming movie

Just FYI

Im not all for change, even more so against it when the first 2 were excellent. If they screw up this franchise Ill be pissed. I partly think they will without Bryan Singer directing. Just please don't go the way of the Hulk, completely unrealistic looking guys that crush concrete when they walk on it, but can fight on tree limbs.
