Vin Diesel to play Apocalypse?

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Fassbender is so much fun to watch it doesn't even matter. That scene with the germans in that south american bar? Amazing.

Fassbender's only good scene in the film. It takes a special kind of film to make Fassbender turn in a bad performance. That he's still one of two (McAvoy) shining beacons in a film filled with shitty extraneous characters nobody cares about is certainly telling.

And yeah, Singer's X-films are better than any movie Marvel has put out.

 

[DominoKid]

awesome.

 

[Nesotenso]

How frequently are they required to release these movies to hang onto the license?

every two years i think

 

[Alienous]

I liked 'Days of Future Past'

EDIT:
Wait a minute, what? God damn, that X-Men cash flow.

 

[Nakazato]

Vin Diesel to play Apocalypse?

wouldnt be a back choice imo

would love to see a deeper voice like james earl jones and CGI

Cable..... CABLE !!!!!!!!

 

[Loxley]

So long as we get more Magneto jazz-hands I'm all for it.

 

[Ithil]

If they don't have the voice actor from the X-Men cartoon, I'm not buying a ticket

Spoiler

FOOOOOLISH INSECTS!

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Expected and this bring some happiness to the day.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Short of James Earl Jones, it's Deebo's time to shine.

 

[Manmademan]

Oh come on- it's not like they would've only fought Trask/Sentinels in the new one. There had to be a bigger baddie.

Also, how about hooking up some Cable, Bryan?

ANYTHING but this. Cable was always a mistake, and explaining his origins gives me headaches.

Rachel grey/Rachel Summers however, I can live with.

 

[friskykillface]

Cable up on the big screen. its about time B^)

I guess the new movie coming out ends on a cliff hanger or something

 

[Manmademan]

Short of James Earl Jones, it's Deebo's time to shine.

are we forgetting someone?

"I know it's pretty Xmen. But I didn't take it out just for air."

 

[slightconfuse]

Mecha Akuma cameo!

 

[Sinatar]

are we forgetting someone?



"I know it's pretty Xmen. But I didn't take it out just for air."

And we're done.

Keith David is the only choice.

 

[strafer]

Could have played.

 

[Rollo Tomasi]

Looks like Singer finally had a sit down with Mark Millar to get their shit straight with Fox's handling of the X-Men franchise. I remember a few months back Singer said he still hadn't even spoken to Millar yet.

 

[Nakazato]

I like it

Could have played.

Would have been my 1st choice RIP MCD


Keith David is awesome but im not sure about that

 

[Choppasmith]

This is an intensely annoying attitude. First, because Marvel Studios is by no means a paragon of quality. Second, because X2 and First Class are both much better than X1, and better than anything MAHVEL BAYBEE has shat out.*

*Sole exception remains The Avengers.

I strongly disagree though, I think there's more quality control and less executive meddling at Marvel Studios rather than Fox (and if there is meddling, it's from people like Based Feige who actually know and love the material.

I'm interested to see DofP though since this will be the proper first movie in Fox's own attempt to mimic the MCU (Millar was brought in when The Wolverine was already in production IIRC)

And honestly, I'm in the "Let X-Men stand by themselves" crowd. I'd prefer the Fantastic Four rights to go back to Marvel ASAP.

 

[Sinatar]

Keith David is awesome but im not sure about that

It'd just be a voice role, they're obviously going to have to make Apocalypse be CGI and Keith both sounds awesome and is a great actor.

I'm not sure about that one.

But that particular issue aside, another poster was on the right track. Marvel theoretically taking back the Xmen and Spider man franchises means less movies overall, since they will be competing with themselves for screen time and budget dollars.

As long as marvel studios is putting their best effort in, Fox and Sony have incentive to not only keep making these films, but also keep them reasonably high quality. No one is going to see X4 or X5 if it looks like trash next to Avengers and Cap.

If these movies were CLEARLY being mishandled (as Daredevil, Ghost Rider, and possibly FF are) then sure, back to marvel. But there's not really a significant gap in quality between "the wolverine" and "Thor 2".

 

[bengraven]

Finally Apocalypse.

Plus X-men as a property is out of season.

 

[Shaanyboi]

DoFP will determine my excitement. But cool that it's finally happening.

 

[entremet]

Apocalypse is black?

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Apocalypse is black?

he's grey

and Egyptian

 

[Sinatar]

Apocalypse is black?

Egyptian technically.

 

[Salsa]

blah

should have been an end teaser

 

[Slayven]

Apocalypse is black?

He was born in Jordan.

 

[Can Crusher]

Can't wait for Apocalypse to be some small dude in a huge armored suit.

Marvel beat you to that one by a decade or so.

[laidbackHERO]

X2 is. X1 shits on First Class.

What a terrible opinion

 

[entremet]

Wow!

This is canon?

Hahahahaha. It is my terrigen mist gift.

 

[The Omega Man]

Apocalypse is black?

He is just OP, how can you beat that Dude, my memories come from the 90's cartoon, I don't read comics, but I always thought he was too powerful in comparison to everyone else.

 

[Manmademan]

Wow!

This is canon?

Explaining why and what apocalypse is right now and what is and is not canon with alternate timelines takes more energy than I have right now.

But the short story is that's apocalypse in the year 3000 something, after he started using host bodies when his original bit the dust.

He is a joke in comics. His biggest win was because another mutant fucked up.

Ah. I see.

What's the story behind his armor?

 

[Slayven]

Ah. I see.

What's the story behind his armor?

When he was a thug back in ancient africa, he tripped and fell into a Celestial ship. ANd adapted the tech into armor.

 

[Prompto]

Would have been a nice post credit surprise Singer But oh well. Hope Days of Future Past and this are good.

 

[jobber]

So the X-Men films are following the Wolverine and the X-Men plot to a tee.

 

[Manmademan]

Ah. I see.

What's the story behind his armor?

Alien technology. He's always had a massive pile of implausibly advanced machines laying around.

I guess shit ideas are a dime a dozen.

"I am the rocks of the eternal shore: crash against me and be broken."

Cannot wait.

 

[Manmademan]

I guess shit ideas are a dime a dozen.

Apocalypse was great in the 80s and early 90s, and absolutely terrible since.

Xmen:Sinister would have been a better idea, but I'll be watching this movie either way.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

"I know it's pretty Xmen. But I didn't take it out just for air."

Keith David would be awesome. That voice of his.

The Hobbit effect of turning one movie into two or a straight up sequel?
