Re: X-Men Movies Thread
Ben Hardy finally 100 percent confirmed for Angel (Warren Worthington). And he'll actually have a major role as one of Apocalypse's four horseman instead of just being a cipher in, oh I don't know, The Last Stand? J/K

Re: X-Men Movies Thread
So...his wings retract from the looks of things? How exactly does that work?

Re: X-Men Movies Thread
He had natural wings until Apocalypse turned him evil (Archangel). Originally he was one of the five core X-men in the early 60s. (Cyclops, Marvel Girl/Jean Grey, Beast, Iceman and Angel)
His new wings are mechanical which is why they retract.

Bryan Singer apparently isn't playing games when it comes to X-Men.
He just announced Olivia Munn as Betsy Braddock aka Psylocke.
Story at Variety
Those who've watched Munn during her time on Attack of the Show know about her love for geekdom. This is sure to be a dream come true for her.

Yeah, but in Singer's movies, "another character" could mean an unexplained 10-second appearance.ShyViolet wrote:Yeah, I know...yet another character.

Bryan Singer posted his first official pic of Jubes and Jean from the second day of shooting. Brings back some fond memories of the 90s animated series, even if the film takes place in the early 80s.

Re: X-Men Movies Thread
One of my favorite parts of First Class and Days of Future Past was seeing the mutants interact with various pop culture artifacts of the 60's and 70's, so I'm glad to see that being carried over with aplomb to Apoclaypse.
I love all things cinema, from silent movies to world cinema to animated cinema to big blockbusters to documentaries and everything in between!

Re: X-Men Movies Thread
Ah, finally a Jubilee that looks like Jubilee! (Although it was hard to tell in the first movie, since you had to not blink.) Maybe she'll even have lines this time!...Well, okay, a line, since she's a B-team character in a Singer movie.
Like the Apocalypse story, that's one of the advantages of having a director weaned on the old 90's cartoon.
