"X-Men 3: The Last Stand" Trailer Out

WEDNESDAY MARCH 8 2006 5:00 PM

Submitted by Beth_Gottfried. Edited By Beth_Gottfried.

The latest installment of the X-Men series, The Last Stand will be released on May 26. For those you curious to see what exactly Brett Ratner has in store, be sure to check out the trailer.

In X-Men: The Last Stand, the final chapter in the X-Men motion picture trilogy, a "cure" for mutancy threatens to alter the course of history. For the first time, mutants have a choice: retain their uniqueness, though it isolates and alienates them, or give up their powers and become human.

Egotastic weighs in on the trailer:

The story seems intense (though borrowing heavily from Joss Whedon's Astonishing X-Men). And they pretty much threw in every mutant character ever in the series, but there's just something missing. It's hard to pin-point, but I'd say it's that little bit extra that just makes you jump up and down with anticipation. I guess it just didn't pass the fanboy test.

I think it all boils down to the Ranter Factor. I must say, however, Kelsey Grammer as Beast looks amazing, and I'm fairly stoked to see Angel, too.

Personally, after watching the trailer, I'm a fan of the asian mutant with tons of spikes/needles darting fron his face. Kelsey Grammer as the Beast just looks like a knock-off Scrooge character a la Jim Carrey as Lemony Snicket.

Joss Whedon isn't involved in Last Stand, for the record.

And I'm not sure what Beast has to do with Scrooge. Or what Lemony Snicket has to do with Scrooge. Is that a reference to the makeup jobs?

It is a ref to makeup jobs. And you're right about Whedon. I was just about to edit that before hitting the "publish" button...Thanks!

Wow, Joss Whedon did something with X-Men...with the same story he used for "Serenity" and thats being used in Last Stand. Very unorriginal.
That being said, I'm very excited about this movie, X-Men taught kids my age about intolerance...plus its been only X-Men and Spiderman that have been good comic book movies lately.

Anything taken from "Astonishing X-men" can only be good.

I hope they also use "I have cloud hair".

Wait, what exactly did they borrow from Astonishing? I didn't pick up on that at all. If anything it's borrowing from Ultimate X-Men. Which seems reasonable to me?

I can't wait. I heard that Colossus is going to be in this one more. I like Colossus.

Also, I can't wait to see Kelsey Grammer hanging from a ceiling reading a book. (I swear... if there isn't a scene like that...)

SO, the new muties this time around are:

Pieter Rasputin aka Colossus
Kitty Pride aka ShadowCat
Hank McCoy aka Beast
Warren Worthington aka Angel
Juggernaut (forgot his real name)

Any others??

And has anyone heard that this may be the last one?? End of the franchise?? I certainly hope that's all just a horrible rumor.
