First look at the cast of Xmen:First Class

I really don't care WHO has X-men at this point, since either way, it will likely suck; Fox has proven that it sucks, and Marvel's not exactly ratcheted up the successes on the filmic front (and looks like it will continue to fail, if what we've seen of Cap and Thor are any indication).

I'm simply not hopeful for the future of comic book movies, on the quality front.

I dont understand where in the timeline this movie takes place. Why are Professor X and Magneto so young but Emma Frost / Beast etc. look like they do now?

Exactly. The continuity's so screwed at this point. Emma Frost is a young woman here but she's a teen in Origins: Wolverine? Hank McCoy had a cameo on a tv set in I think X2 and he was human. Now he's a younger Beast form?

If they could sue for the movies sucking, they would have done it after Last Stand.

If they could sue for making shitty movies Marvel should retroactively sue themselves many times over.

I was talking about it failing financially. Isn't that the reason Marvel didn't sue them when they started rushing this one? Because they used the well it made both of us money.

It was a lame joke attempt on my part, disregard.
 
You know, I've been skeptical of this from nearly the start.

Announced with Brian Singer -> excited
Announced Matt Vaughn -> elated
Set in the 60s? -> cautious: the time period worked for the time period, but aging the characters that much in the modern times seems strange
first pics -> eh...
Azazel? Angel? -> oh fuck this
First pic of the cast -> hm
Remembered that Brian Singer and Matt Vaughn was on this -> skeptical, but excited again
 
This may very well bomb duo to the lack of star characters alone.

I still haven't heard anything about Strom, Jean or Scott being in this and its confirmed that Wolverine aint in this one apparently.
 
don't know how to say this, but the picture looks really bad, but makes me believe in the film that much more

i f that makes any sense. great production team , so lets do the trailer now

Everyone really needs to calm down about the picture. It's tiny, and clearly photoshopped.

I thought photoshop was supposed to make things look good

God, that pic makes them all look like cheap porn stars in an XXX X-Men parody film.

I hope they're already up to this. Need to see professor sexavier do some mind fucking.
 
It probably won't happen, but it would be awesome if they used the X-Men theme (and variations of it) from the 90s animated show. So badass.

i hear you bro

im saying that this is a rare movie in that the promo materials could not possibly deter me

BELIEVE like i havent in a looonnnnggg time. lets do it

and she dont hurt
 
Kick-Ass was shit. I kind of had hopes for this movie, solely because of McAvoy and Fassbender's casting, but I'm unsurprised that this looks like shit too.
 
I like the costumes. I don't know why make a prequel when you can reboot it ala Spider-man. But I like Havok so I'm open minded. I hate that mystique though.

So okay, at least it's not going to be as bad as Origins: Wolverine or the other ones. So much to ask for a x-men I'll actually like?
 
Fassbender seems like unorthodox casting for Magneto. I like him a lot but I'm curious to see how that turns out.

Amazingly, there's only two years of difference in age between Fassbender and McAvoy. Fassbender looks quite a bit older.
 
Eh, it is a comic book movie, I'm not expecting much from it. As long as it is fun and entertaining, I will at least enjoy it. X-Men continuity is such a mess that the fact the movie makes no sense in the realm of the other ones that it barely makes a difference to me.
 
Costumes look better than all of the xmen movies imo. This feels more true to the comics/cartoon w/ the blue & yellow.

That said, it'll probably be shit.

All I care about, really.

This "film" has disaster written all over it.

People have been saying this shit and yet they are still reviewed well and do well at the B.O.

I'm sure one day they will all suck though.
 
To me the only shining beacon of hope for X-Men related films at Fox is Darren Aronofsky doing the next Wolverine film. Jackman obviously cares for and loves the character, and wants to do a good job. And he loves Aronofsky, so let's hope it turns out well.
 
What I love is how FOX made exactly the same dumbshit mistake as they did with X3.

Singer was on board to direct and was going to, but FOX refused to give him 3 weeks to organise a shooting schedule for Jack the Giant Killer so it could begin right after Xmen Origins.

Now we're going to get some b-grade Vaughn shit.
 
January Jones is Emma Frost? Gross.

I mean, on paper it sounds right. Gorgeous blonde, sexy bod, with killer intentions behind a beautiful face. But man, she just doesn't look the part at all. Her face is almost too kind and gentle, her eyes too small, the actress herself way too soft-spoken (though I've only seen her as Betty Draper, where I think she's insufferable half the time and brilliant the other half -- for THAT character)...I don't know, she's nowhere near sinister-looking enough. I'm not getting cold-as-ice vibes from her in that shot. I'm getting 'I'm on the package of an erotic ladies' halloween costume' vibe.

Like one of these, lol

What happened to the other blonde who I thought actually landed the part a few months ago? Guess it was just someone posting who they wanted for the role, but I was sure it was a discussion about confirmed casting. She had classic Emma Frost eyes. I could just see the character in her from a MAXIM-type magazine cover, it was perfect.
 
Why did they even bother calling it "First Class". Because of the uniforms? Thats really...really lame. Im surprised they didnt sneak wolverine in there somehow.

She asked to be let go so that she could play another marvel female in some other story I think.
 
So the final Batman film really will mark the last great comic-book movie.

Time to usher in their death so Hollywood can start pillaging manga.
