I like.

Especially if the ending guy is Sabretooth. He was just silly in the first movie.

Curious if Maverick will be in it.

But come on, they couldnt at least given Sabertooth blondish hair?

Looks like there's a few from Team X in it, but he's listed as Agent Zero.

Liev Schreiber with blond hair? Has that ever happened?

Sigh, I keep trying to figure out why directors and writers insist on screwing around with my childhood.

Liev could take one for the team and put a little blond in there! Hells bells hes an actor!

He is, I think he was that Asian guy who was shown right before or after Wraith/Kestrel in the trailer.

I agree.

And i don't give two sh1ts about Sabretooth not being blond. As long as he is nails, clever and vidictive as hell and the guy playing him can actually act.

Lets not forget for all the praise Bryan Singer gets he is the guy that cast a grunting wrestler as Victor Creed, one of the most brutally articulate gits to stalk the marvel universe.

And its got Van Wilder as Deadpool - which is ****ing awesome.

And was that a young Emma Frost?

Ahahahahahahaha

Pardon me for being a purist

We all have preferences when it comes to comic to movie adaptations. I enjoyed 90's Sabertooth. Hopefully Liev will make an excellent replacement to that atrocity in X-Men. Also, an (possibly) asian Maverick doesnt sit well with me either.

Yeah, an Asian Maverick (if that's right) would smack of 'Asian actors are cool, Germans aren't'. I generally don't mind things being shifted around as long as it doesn't smack of execs sweating over their market research.

Jury's out on Gambit. They were always going to cast a far-too-pretty actor, but aside from that the real challenge is translating the character into film and not ending up with a superhero Inspector Clouseau.

You are pardoned my son.

Agree about an Asian maverick though. Worst case scenario if you can't get a decent german lad then just get nathan fillion to put on an accent ( then again I would accept this for almost all roles, including, say, the lead in a Grace Jones biopic)

Also share the Gambit concerns. Who is the actor?

Taylor Kitsch. Only thing I've seen him in is Snakes On A Plane, where he was the guy killed having it off in the loo.

At first glance, it looks like they're playing up the gambler aspect and dropping the dirty swamprat angle.

Gambit looks ace (no pun intended. well....a little). I think they kinda have to go with a small name actor rather than a big name, easier to see someone else as Gambit rather than a Tom Cruise type actor. As long as he says chere and mon ami a lot, then im happy. Hopefully he plays Gambit as the smooth motherf'er he is.

Next question. Is that group supposed to be Alpha Flight? Couldnt really tell. If so....who could possibly play a good Puck?!

Tony Cox comes to mind.
