can they get rebecca romijn back

 

[LordOfLore]

Are we getting?

Hell yeah:

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

- Simon Kinberg is directing
- JLaw returning
- Lilandra is a villain

 

[Shaanyboi]

Are we getting?

He'll be some goon for Lilandra who will get one namedrop.

 

[Slayven]

How checked out will JLaw be in this one?

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Unless they could do House of M, there really aren't many relatively modern X-Men stories I'd say are worth a damn.

The limp-dicked way they attempted to adapt Whedon's Astonishing X-Men was a massive waste.

I suppose as long as they're stuck to the idea of only doing the safe, PG-13 ensemble films you're right. It's a pity, considering the success of solo films like Deadpool and Logan.

 

[RedHill]

Maybe one day we'll get an X-Men film that feels like X-Men

 

[Slayven]

amen brother

 

[Inferno313]

Jessica Chastain needs to be Poison Ivy in Gotham City Sirens, grr.

Hopefully they don't waste her like they did Oscar Isaac.

 

[jmizzal]

JLaw back thought she was done

 

[DrunkShogun]

Jennifer Lawrence return and the whole Phoenix is a part of jean still annoys me. Jessica chastain is a good get though.

 

[Pandora012]

Is it so much to ask to have Rogue in a movie? I really want an Uncanny Avengers movie.

How checked out will JLaw be in this one?

She'll just stare at the camera, not moving while someone voices her lines.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

How checked out will JLaw be in this one?

Extremely! And we'll get one scene of her in blue makeup for one scene max, as everyone praises Mystique as mutant Jesus.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Jessica Chastain needs to be Poison Ivy in Gotham City Sirens, grr.

Hopefully they don't waste her like they did Oscar Isaac.

 

[Shaanyboi]

How checked out will JLaw be in this one?

She'll need someone to signal her to stop looking at her phone and read her lines. They won't even edit around it. She'll just be looking at her smartphone in-frame.

 

[Slayven]

I wonder if Fassbender would be doing this if Assassin Creed hadn't gone over like a wet fart?

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Jessica Chastain needs to be Poison Ivy in Gotham City Sirens, grr.

Hopefully they don't waste her like they did Oscar Isaac.

This casting would disappoint me because of that. Oh well.

 

[SpideySenses]

Boo, I want her as Poison Ivy.

 

[A-V-B]

Kinberg? Has he directed before? Seems like a pretty huge responsibility to dump into his lap. Hope he isn't taken off guard by it all.

EDIT: Wait, Lilandra is a villain? What the fuck?

 

[Kurdel]

Are we getting?

They better!

 

[Zoe]

JLaw returning

butwhy?.gif

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

Shame.
This franchise will never be good again.

 

[kswiston]

We'll get Gladiator, but they will have Mystique take him down, since she is the chosen leader of the X-Men.

 

[Inferno313]

Shame.
This franchise will never be good again.

I mean, mainline X-Men movies? Yeah, maybe.

But Logan is quite possibly the best superhero flick this decade. Deadpool is a top 10 for me too, and Legion is the only comic-book TV show worth a damn.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

EDIT: Wait, Lilandra is a villain? What the fuck?

Well if you think of it from the X-Men's point of view during the Phoenix Saga, she was something of a villain in that she was trying to kill Jean (though she was simply trying to protect existence at the same time)

 

[Skinny Pete]

The Shiar? So we are getting a proper Dark Phoenix? I want the Imperial Guard in all of their glory to be featured as well!

 

[A-V-B]

Well if you think of it from the X-Men's point of view during the Phoenix Saga, she was something of a villain in that she was trying to kill Jean (though she was simply trying to protect existence at the same time)

Yeah, I know, she's not actually a flat-out villain. In the wrong hands they may miss what makes her an interesting character.

 

[Pandora012]

The Shiar? So we are getting a proper Dark Phoenix? I want the Imperial Guard in all of their glory to be featured as well!

Lol I seriously doubt we'll get a proper Dark Phoenix, did you not see the last movie Phoenix was in?

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

Fuck the X-Men movies, but I'll watch this one for Space/Shi'ar shenanigans.

 

[Rockandrollclown]

Was really hoping for a reboot here. After Logan, it feels like a good time to just rebuild from the ground up.

 

[illmatic22]

Mystique-Men continues noooooooooo. Not crazy about Kinberg either.

Someone got PAID

.

 

[PR_rambo]

I like Jennifer Lawrence but not as Mystique. Got dang it Let the new kids shine. And Kinberg? Bleh.



I'm just salty because Cyclops will never be done justice. Fuck Fox.

 

[Skinny Pete]

Lol I seriously doubt we'll get a proper Dark Phoenix, did you not see the last movie Phoenix was in?

I'm trying to forget it ever existed.

 

[Ithil]

So they're gonna have Dark Phoenix do basically nothing wrong and have her hunted unfairly?

 

[Matsukaze]

Lilandra will be a "villain" so Xavier can sway her to the side of compassion in the end.

 

[A-V-B]

I'm trying to forget it ever existed.

Funny, isn't it? Singer spent a bunch of time trying to undo Ratner and Kinberg's Phoenix saga, and now we're back again at the same train station. Maybe everyone's learned something in the process. I'll cross my fingers for that, for whatever good it will do.

 

[Pandora012]

I'm trying to forget it ever existed.

Okay what about X3? That sure did Phoenix right!

 

[ReiGun]

JLaw returning

Will we ever know freedom?

 

[PR_rambo]

Maybe one day we'll get an X-Men film that feels like X-Men

LOL and there are people who enjoy that they aren't

 

[Dead]

JLaw back

Nope.

 

[Loxley]

Damn it, I thought we were getting Chastain as Jean Grey for a second

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Are you all ready for the Shi'ar Empire to be outfitted with black paintball gear?

 

[Skinny Pete]

After Apocalypse I have no hope for this franchise anyway. I liked DOFP a lot but man they dropped the ball with the last one. Just a piece of shit.

 

[A-V-B]

Are you all ready for the Shi'ar Empire to be outfitted with black paintball gear?

You mean standard equip?

 

[Sub_Level]

can they get rebecca romijn back

Even if they did,which would be awesome, Mystique and Magneto shouldn't be such central characters in every single movie. I would've liked to see more of the x-men team (which may happen but highly doubtful if they spending the money to get these actors back)

 

[Toa TAK]

Are you all ready for the Shi'ar Empire to be outfitted with black paintball gear?

YES

 

[Slayven]

How badly will they gloss over Magneto helping level a city last movie?

 

[Pandora012]

Maybe they can reboot it one more time, and this time they get it right.

 

[Fancyarcher]

No I mean turn a good character evil. Not like there isn't a death bird

I know. Kinberg wants to take the easy way out though.

 

[Akuun]

I guess JLaw was like "no" until someone threw enough money at her.
