War Machine (although I don't see Cheadle listed above, shrug). He was "proper Iron Man" in the original Secret Wars comics, for whatever that is worth - and I believe the Armor Wars film that was supposed to be his vehicle, got shelved indefinitely.
Yep, only F4 and the Thunderbolts made it out alive.
Have those movies even released yet?
True, I already retconned that movie in my mind.
Probably a function of how badly he wants/needs the money at this point in time. Though that reminds me of how by the last of the recent X-Men movies, they had basically given up on showing Mystique as a mutant because JLaw didn't want to do makeup.
Yeah guy isn't exactly working on blockbuster movies these days lol
He’s actually returning as his character from Eyes Wide Shut.They already brought Cyclops back to life with Days of Future Past.
It was already confirmed Dr. Strange won’t be in Avengers Doomsday. The first (upcoming) Avengers film isn’t designed to star everyone, as there needs to be a heavy focus on the F4 and especially Dr. Doom. Think about how Thanos was sort of the protagonist of Infinity War, and that movie also didn’t feature Hawkeye and Ant-man
The leaked concept art was for Secret Wars, which showed at least some of the missing characters you all brought up.
Specifically Hulk, She-Hulk, Star-Lord, Wong, White Vision, Ms. Marvel, Kate Bishop/Hawkeye II, and Wanda’s kids.
Also, my mind is blown that Alan Cumming-
-is willing to return as Nightcrawler after he refused to return for X3 as he complained about the makeup process, which was so frustrating to hear since Rebecca Romijn was allergic to her makeup (which was full body, Alan only had to have his head, hands, and feet done) yet she was willing to do three films. Well, glad to have him back.
These movies are going to need to make Avatar money to pay for this cast.
The first scene of this film had better be a dump truck, leaving dollar bills in its wake, pulling away from Xaviers mansion
120 year old Ian McKellan stumbling around as Magneto is still better to watch than most of the current Marvel cast.The first scene of this film had better be a dump truck, leaving dollar bills in its wake, pulling away from Xaviers mansion
Can't wait for the "who got paid what" leaks so see that all the POC new character actors got pennies compared to these old ass legacy white actors.
Of course the reason is that all these new actors are still under their multi-film contracts while they gotta drop $$$ to get these old actors outta bed but the internet grifter outrage will be what it will be.
1000% he will be in there, even if an end credit cameo. Undoubtedly the DP3 deal opened the door for it. A massive death scene (again) leaving nothing but the skeleton behind is my guess. How else to show the power of Doom than have him nuke all these ancient legacy characters?

They need to get Dafne Keen back though, cause.....goddamn!
Her and Hailee Seinfeld teamed up with lots of black latex....yeah I'd watch that.
Are you denying somehow that hot chicks in skin tight outfits has not been a BEDROCK STAPLE of the superhero genre SINCE DAY FUCKING ONE?
WhyNotBoth?
That’s not all.
Cringe posts but I get it.That’s not all.
Yeah, but you can't fix the Last Stand with that, you can only do a patch work after. What I want to see is a much better continuation of X2 as if Last Stand wasn't even a think. They need to do justice to the Dark Phoenix story and to put it lightly, they sure didn't in the Last Stand and in movies that came after. Days of Future Past is great btw (Rogue Cut especially), love it to death as well as the first movie.
Slop on slop violence
Probably more. RDJ was getting $50 million per movie before. Probably up to $100m now.
According to Variety, significantly more than that. They are paying the directors alone $80mil to direct the two movies.

Marvel is so desperate to rekindle that heyday fire they are just burning money. All those old men got PAID to show up cause NONE OF THEM are hungry for work. Even just a quick cameo before it's off to cgi land (like Rebecca Romaine Stamos [she will always be RRS to me]) with mystique, that had to be a cool couple of mill.According to Variety, significantly more than that. They are paying the directors alone $80mil to direct the two movies.
Behind Robert Downey Jr. and the Russo Brothers’ Mega ‘Avengers’ Paydays
Marvel is paying $80 million for the Russos to direct two 'Avengers' movies and 'significantly more' for Robert Downey Jr. to tackle Doctor Doom.
I would guess they had a bring out a couple dump trucks full of cash to get Stewart and McKellan to play along, then low balled the remaining cast until they could get enough bites that they can call it X-Men.
It's who is NOT in this that is interesting. The roster is nonsensical and not really stratified based in aligned interests, common pasts, "enemy of my enemy is my friend", or any of that. It's like the script was written as a madlib with blanks for all the characters so they could slot in whoever they could get. Where is Valkyrie? Isn't she on Earth, in charge of the largest population of technologically advanced folks (perhaps outside of Wakanda but I think Asgard tech was superior)? Who is throwing around Mjolnir now? Shouldn't they be making another golden coffin for Lady Thor?
