Why is Prof. X farting across Washington DC?

It's Fox and it's never happening. Fox has shown that they can spit out XMen/Wolverine movies like nobodies business which keeps the agreement alive. To be honest, I'm surprised so many people want this. I mean, Fox has delivered 2, maybe 3 or 4 good Xmen movies and 2 stinkers which seems to be a pretty good average. It's not like Marvel is immune to putting out bad movies and if they had Spiderman and Xmen, you likely wouldn't see them putting resources into stuff like Guardians of the Galaxy.

Marvel would probably throw out the prejudice and racism themes and have the X-Men beating up Evil Guy of the Week who wants to destroy the world because of reasons. Throw an Avengers teaser at the end and we're done.

And every movie would feature Wolverine.

being obligated to put out movies because they contractually have to doesn't do any favors to the IP. There is a reason for diminishing box office returns. Fox is going to churn out these movies and eventually the audience is going to tire of them. Marvel on the other hand is under no obligation to keep something going. Not being under a ticking clock is much better for the collective health of the IP.

marvel knows their characters and properties better than anything Fox or Sony can hope to come up with.
 
woah, i think you just caught some major plot inconsistencies!

Beast has a way of temporarily hiding his Beast form unless he loses control. It also explains why you see human Hank McCoy being interviewed in X2. As for Xavier standing, it's probably in their mind, or he's being held up or something.

Xavier was able to walk in the scene where he and Magneto recruited Jean in X-Men 3 and in his cameo in Wolverine Origins, which was supposed to take place in 1979. This series is full of continuity errors.

In the comics, Charles is repeatedly regaining his ability to walk only to be re-paralyzed a few years later.
 
Professor X on the poster looks like he's hovering in the air via the power of his own farts:

When I started getting into X-men I did believe characters like Wolverine or Magneto would get top billing in a future movie. But Mystique? Mind blown. What's next? Juggernaut? Oh Please.

I was happy to see Nimrod. But I'm disappointed it doesn't look as imposing as previous incarnations of that Sentinal.
 
This is still my most anticipated Superhero movie, and the new trailer is great. Hopefully this will keep with the first two X-Men and keep the focus on the characters and drama.

Singer can say whatever FOX's PR department tells him too, but at the very least, there's absolutely no way the first Wolverine movie is in continuity with these latest few films. X3 is a bit harder to dismiss...but I doubt he's made any effort to be slavish to it.

Doesn't really explain why Marvel is dumping out movies faster than anyone right now. If anyone kills off the Superhero movie genre, it will be Marvel.
 
Do you trust anyone, then?

To be fair, there are valid reasons to be nervous/worried about Singer.

He gets through an intensive pre-production with X3, solely to abandon ship and make Superman Returns.

Superman Returns is a confused, meandering production that costs a ton of money, and goes way over-schedule, resulting in a confused, meandering movie that, while recieved well initially, has been devalued quite a bit as time went on.

He made a smaller-scale suspense-drama with Valkyrie, which is cool, as his best work is almost always smaller-scale suspense-dramas. X-Men 2 seems like an anomaly when you look at his resume, really. It's the only big-budget action/adventure film of his that is really GOOD.

And then he made the ungainly mess that was Jack the Giant Slayer, which was also overstuffed and confused, as well as crazy expensive.

That fails, and he then returns to X-Men - to make a large, crazy expensive action/adventure movie, with yet another meandering production that we keep hearing is losing parts as it goes, chunks of it falling away with every bump and scrape it endures moving towards the finish line.

People being nervous about him makes sense. You can be nervous but still hopeful that the end result is a good movie. There's a lot of those that have been made under worse circumstances.

it is obvious to anyone watching that they are branching out with their IPs, going deeper into their library with full knowledge that each will need to get a better treatment. Listen to Feige when he speaks.

And takes as many risks with them as an old lady on the penny slots.

yeah envisioning a shared universe which Fox and Sony want to ape now wasn't risky enough...

making Ant-Man and Guardians of the Galaxy movies with an almost zero Q score isn't risky enough...

But go on..
 
Looks pretty good IMO. Hoping this can knock the series back in order. We'll see though, because you never know what you're getting with these X-Men movies. Either shit or pretty good. No in between. BUT this looks solid. Captain America, GOTG, and this will satisfy my inexcusable comic movie addiction.

Man, I want Cyclops back so bad. Kind of hope they reboot after Apocalypse. New Wolvie too.

I dont remember NImrod ever being imposing per-se, its not your typical giant robot.

Nimrod could shape-shift, inspired I think from the T2000 in the Terminator in parallel to the Bulkier more imposing T1000 but far more powerful.
 
Comic book films aren't a single genre. You've got sci-fi, space opera, crime and now, political thriller, as seen in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Many other genres within comics out there.

Heh.

When Marvel spits out 2-3 movies a year, it's an act of pure creativity, fueled by nothing but the pursuit of artistic generosity as a means to best explore the potential of the properties they are shepherding.

When any other studio announces their own superhero sequels, it's sweaty, mercenary desperation fueled by nothing more than spite and potential profit, with not a single thought towards the storytelling possibilities contained within the characters they're exploiting.

There can't possibly be any middle ground in which the reality of the filmmaking industry could reside :)

I'm confused. Where is Nimrod? All I see are the future Sentinels.

Every one of these movies indulges in these tropes now, for better or worse. It's hardly Marvel exclusive anymore.

Marvel doesn't live under the constant fear that not making a movie means that their filming rights revert. Not saying neither isn't motivated by profit, but one situation is not like the other and you know it.

I get what you're saying, but I think the main difference is that Marvel makes the movies it does because it wants to, whereas Fox and Sony are more driven by "have to." Not that they don't want to capitalize on their own billion-dollar tentpoles, but for those studios there's always a ticking clock, whereas Marvel can branch out a little more and toss in a bunch of new, underutilized properties along with their sequels.

I'm actually fine with Fox holding onto X-Men and Sony holding onto Spider-Man myself though. I think those two would significantly crowd Marvel's plate, and not having to do an X-Men or Spider-Man movie frees them up for shit like Ant-Man and Dr. Strange.
 
So in this one Wolvie is sent back whereas in the comic it was Kittie Pryde and in the cartoon it was Bishop, right? Not sure if I have that correct. I kinda wish it wasn't. Hugh as Wolverine is sort of getting old already. Would have been nice to have him be a little less in the lime light in this one.

Yep.

Those decisions are made way above the pay grade of the creative teams behind these movies. When the execs decide a movie is getting made, that's it. A team is then assembled to make it. That goes for Marvel, Fox, Sony, you name it.

I suppose on rare occasions you do have directors lobbying to make a specific movie, but for all intents and purposes the reasoning behind why a movie gets made has little impact on whether it's good or not.

living under the threat of a constant ticking clock and throwing out ideas just to match the box office success of the company which actually owns the IPs seems like a significant enough departure from Marvel's approach to things.
 
Are the people who shit on the CG in every MCU or Amazing Spider-Man trailer talking about this one? Because if not...

Lol, my thoughts exactly. That confirmation bias. Even though it's obvious that not all the CG shots in these trailers are finished.

Anyway, Singer going in, trying to make the world forget Ratner's fuck up. This looks great. Hopefully it kicks ass.
 
Looks like Storm gets taken out from behind. In quick shot you see her turning around smirking then nimrod/future sentinel drops in behind her.

eh looks alright suppose cant be any worse then X3 or Wolverine: Origins
 
My most anticipated cbm this year looks fucking great love how epic the future segments look and it's great to see the first class cast back in this.

What is Marvel's approach? They are putting out movies every year as well. It's just that if they had the Spiderman and Xmen brands, those movies would be Spiderman and XMen movies instead of Thor and GotG movies. Fox and Sony have made both good and bad Spiderman and XMen movies just like Marvel has made both good and bad movies.
