    Out of all those super soldiers, my favorite is Deadpool. Did anyone read the "Cable and Deadpool" series? Great stuff, check it out.

    I think Stryker is a really annoying villain. It's too bad that we already know he won't die in this movie, because I wouldn't mind seeing him die a hundred times.

    Sabertooth is very similar to Wolverine in my opinion. This is a disturbing trend in recent comic movies (not TDK though). In Iron Man, his villain was basically....another Iron Man. In Hulk, his villain was basically....another Hulk. In Wolverine.... you get my point. The new Bat Man's are at least giving us villains that have distinctly different attributes.

    I understand that these villians are part of the history of the comics, but if you're gonna make a movie about them, use something else please...for me!

    I love the Merc with the Mouth, probably my 2nd favorite character in comics.

    What do you think of the Reynolds casting?

    I'm liking the female. [​IMG]

    Reynolds is a good actor, like that choice. Monaghan is pretty entertaining, good there.

    As for Schreiber, can't say I really like the guy. He always seemed so dry and boring in all of his movies. And for Sabretooth? Ugh. Don't like that choice at all.

    I don't know the other guys. I just hope the Gambit actor does well. Gambit was always a favorite of mine, especially in the video games [​IMG]

    They better get this right. Wolverine's my favourite comic book character and they've messed around with the X-men movies so far.

    I like the casting so far. Renolds seems perfect for Deadpool, because he's got knack for being funny and Deadpool's like the funniest character. I think Schreiber's a talented actor and that's what you want to focus on more than specific role's he's played (it worked for Heath Ledger as the Joker). Not sure about the others.

    Well, they already screwed that one up in my opinion. Hugh Jackman is nowhere near as buffed as the comic Wolverine. They needed a guy with much more muscle.

    When is it supposed to come out?


    I can't wait for it, I loved the role he had in the other X-Men movies.

    Nope, he wasn't in either one. Nightcrawler was, which sort of made up for the lack of Gambit.

    I'm VERY pissed at how they used a video game to explain what happened to Night Crawler, bridging 2 of the movies.

    I didn't even play the game, and I've played through all X-Men games home systems.

    The quality of that made it hard to watch, but thanks for sharing.

    Gambit is being played by Taylor Kitsch from Friday Night Lights, he can act, but it's yet to be seen how well he can do in a big role. Gambit is a favourite of Many, big shoes to fill.

    I really hope they do this movie properly. I love Wolverine (on just a casual fan level, never read the comics); and I think this movie could be awesome if they do it right.

    I can't wait to a high quality version of the trailer comes out, though.

    Hugh did a great job... but i think he was just a bit tall to be wolverine... remember in the comics wolverine was the shortest of all... hes like a 5'5" kinda guy

    Other than height and not quite perfect build, Hugh was the best candidate out there.

    I heard they would not have Gambit and Cyclops in a movie together as allegedly the powers are too similar.

    This is a good thing as Cyclops was always average at best in the comics & cartoons.

    Hopefully, they keep Beast in the X Men flicks. Nightcrawler had to go IMO.
