X-Men: First Class: The Movie
New X-Men movie? Say it ain’t so! Please, if there’s a god, you will say it’s not.
But Internet rumblings say it is. Check this news.
MTV’s Splash Page blog noticed that Tim Pocock, who played the young Cyclops in this summer’s retro X-Men movie had left the following update on Twitter:
currently shooting Australian TV series till February 2010…then X-men first class 😉
This can only end poorly. Expect a multitude of cobbled together mutt continuity from a music video director. Any guesses on the class to be? Will we have a Lil’ Bishop storyline? Is there a mutant untouched (or, thanks to Brett Ratner, scathed) by the X-Men movie Juggernaut that can join this team? By my count … Banshee, Warpath, Dr. Reyes and Cable will be on the team.
you forgot Maggot and Marrow.
I decided to use Reyes to encompass that unfortunate era.
There’s lots of folks they can use. Out of the actual First Class, Iceman and Angel are out, but Cyclops, Beast and Marvel Girl can all be included. Emma Frost will probably be in there too. There’s no reason Storm couldn’t be used. That’s as many members as the team had in the first X-Men movie. They could use Banshee, Mimic, Morph, Cannonball, Blink (and kill her off, naturally), or even a brand new character (gasp!). Just because Wolverine was terrible doesn’t mean the franchise is ruined. X-Men 3 wasn’t even that bad.
When you say “wasn’t that bad” do you mean compared to “Hitch?”
X-Men 3 was so bad that I can’t even read X-Men comics any more, much less see another crappy movie like Wolverine or First Class.
