X-Men 3

ok so i was wondering if anyone has heard anything about a third X-Men movie and as i was bored and recovering from this weekend hangover i was watching the xecond one. then in one of the scenes there is a list of mutants, and it got me to wondering if any of them would be in the third movie.
guthrie 1
guthrie 2
harada
kane (not much on him other tehn he is the second weapon X)
LeBeau
maddicks
madrox
mhan
maximoff 1
maximoff 2
moonstarMcTaggart
gibney
thats a list and references for each one that was on the list from the movie that hasnt already made an appearence.. and i remembered someone on this site saying they had or have connections to this franchise somaybe they could shed more light on it for me. but if the list is a hint of possibles for teh third movie rumored to be out in 2006 which characters would you like to see and if you feel obliged please tell why.

and yes i know i'm a dork

Refresh my frankly useless memory... was Gambit in the second one? Cos if not, he NEEDS to be in the third...

Gambit (LeBeau) was not in the second one to my knowledge, unless he was a background extra at teh mansion

Gambit, The Beast (not just on a TV in the background this time, Psylocke, a bigger role for Colossus to name a few

X3 is probably going to take like 5 years, apparently Bryan Singer has been named as the new director for the Superman movie

I noticed LeBeau and Madrox... two of my favorite characters EVER. I've heard that Gambit'll be in the third, but who knows.

As long as someone, ANYONE, gets called "cher" I'll be happy...

i think they are planing to bring the sentinals in the 3rd one.

I'm pretty sure Gambit was not in X2. I know Beast was shown as "Dr. Hank McCoy" on television, and Jubilee was the asian student of the Professors...but where was Gambit?

Other than Gambit I don't really want to see anybody new come in. Just expanded parts for Colossus and Beast.

As far as villians go, I would LOVE to see them work in Omega Red, Juggernaut, or Mr. Sinister somehow.

don't get me started on these X-men movies... you may think your a geek but I can debate the serious pros and cons of said good/bad movies.. I can't really figure out if I liked them or hated them but Im a huge X-men fan and I felt slightly dissapointed mostly in the fact that the movies have been about wolverine and the x-men are background players.

but as for the third one there are sooooo many rumors its not funny but I do know this.. Bryan Singer (the director) has stated in the past that there are two characters he will never use. 1) Apocalypse... because the story is just too far out and he wants to make this as believable as possible. (to which I respond.. well get off your lazy fucking ass and get creative.. x-men evolution made it pretty believable) 2) Gambit... I believe he said that he thought gambit was too much of a combination of Wolverine and Cyclops that since those characters are already there Gambit is un-necessary. I personally don't think that Mr. Singer has read an X-men comic.

but in my continueed geekiness I would like to see Havok, Cable, and X-force (Cannonball, Shatterstar, Warpath, Rictor, Moonstar, Boom Boom, Domino and Sunspot)

Listen to Singers commentary on the 2nd film in which he states that Gambit is a background character and should be in the next film. He has read a shit load of the comics and watched the entire animated series as well.

We need to see some Genosha in the next film.
Also, Sunspot would be awssome.

Sentinels (not the skyscraper-sized ones, something along the lines of what was seen in Capcom's X-Men fighting game; something that Piotyr can beat the holy hell out of) and Dr. Trask seem like a likely choice for X3 villains, along with Mags, Mystique, and Pyro. I don't see how Juggernaut could be done right without an unnecesary assload of CG, unless they can find a guy who's FUCKING HUGE. Omega Red would make a nice villain for the Wolverine solo movie, but not in X3. And I'd stay away from any Apocalypse stuff. He's not quite in the territory of what the movies center on.

I've heard that the actor who played Piotyr as said that he'll be there for the third one. And for the record, Gambit himself was not in X2, but his name popped up on Deathstrike's computer while Mystique was hacking into it.

I also think that Quicksilver could be a nice addition, if done right.

Yeah I knew that. Omega Red's name was also on said computer. According to imdb.com the actors that played Wolverine, Cyclops, Nightcrawler, Colossus, Professor X, and Iceman are all already on for X3.

I didn't see them at all what scenes were they in?

Gambit was not in the movie. His real name "Remy Lebeau" was shown on Stryker's computer screen when Mystique was hacking into it.

Beast, as Dr. Hank McCoy, was shown briefly on a television screen being interviewed for a show about mutants.

Jubilee was show in a few scenes, and Storm actually called her by name when all the children were trapped in the hole in Stryker's compound. She was also shown in one of the final scenes in Xavier's classroom.

i thought that piotyr IS quicksilver.

anyway...

we open 9after the now-obligatory zoom thru the x-door) with a series of long slow pans around an office-type area. it's night, and the halls and rooms are abandoned, and because of there being no people around, we notice nothing unusual. our viewpoint then rounds a corner, and we see two cleaners, quite obviously engrossed in conversation (gesticulating etc.) but not actually moving at all. they are stock still as the camera pans past them, right down to the beads of soapy water being flung from the hands of one of them. then we see something move. the camera turns to follow, and we realise it is a man, around thirty years of age, hair so blonde it is almost white, running around this building. it is now that the geeks amongst us realise we are in quicksilver time...

that is how i want x3 to start.

i hereby challenge singer to come up with something that will make me cream my pants more.

or you guys.

whoever gets there first.

Nope.

Pietro (Quicksilver)

Piotr (Colossus)

Alright, so I misspelled the name.

And being Magneto's son, he should be with the Brotherhood. At least until the end of the movie.

[Edited on Jul 18, 2004 by ProfZoom]

gotcha.

he could be in this office block doing the brotherhood's work.

or maybe he doesn't know at the beginning that he is magneto's son?

like nightcrawler doesn't know he's mystique's son.

do i have to come up with everything?

The end of X2 made me think they we're to go for a Phoenix Saga story.

Just a suggestion Tekky, but I think that YOU should play Jubilee in the next one. That would make me smile a little.

To add to that, I believe I heard that Singer is taking over the writing duties on the Ultimate X-Men comic for Marvel.

To which I say...hello foot meet mouth.
