I was thinking more like Selene from the hellfire club or Proteus or Empath. I also think it would be interesting if they made a movie about one of the many trips the X-men have taken to hell. Hell, a movie about Illyana Rasputin’s story would be so cool.
Which is a problem dealing with a series that’s suppose to be about a team. Besides Mags and Xavier, they’ve given us no reason over the course of 2 movies to give a damn about Mystique being the “leader” of this team, like we don’t know they’re simply trying to push Jennifer Lawrence. Hell, the movies are called X-Men yet there’s practically been no character development for anyone else BESIDES Mags and Xavier.
(Yeah, Fassbender as Magneto is one of the best things about “prequel” movies with Lawrence.)
Hah. There’s no way we’re getting Selene, Proteus, Empath or anything related to Hell or Limbo in the movies, at least in anything but name or as a passing “joke” reference, especially since they made Azazel an outright mutant (which I actually kind of prefer). They’re all way too complicated to fit into a singular movie, which is par for the course with non-Magneto villains, and very few people tend to be able to write magic(k) (and Magik) well on top of that.
It’d be far more likely for us to see (Lady) Mastermind, Shinobi Shaw, one of Emma’s siblings, or maybe even a villainous version of Sunspot with regards to a villain (that was related to the Hellfire Club). At best, after Apocalypse, I’m guessing they’ll probably try to do Minister Sinister, especially since he has ties to Gambit.
holy shit they’re gonna replace mutants with force users.
I feel the same way about Iron Man in current Marvel. He’s fucking Wolverine…on every team, involved in every plot. Throw his ass in a hole for 3 years, fuck Tony Stark.
I just want an R rated, faithful Wolverine movie (or movies.) Get a new Wolverine, whatever. Just make it heavy and violent. Just how 90s era Danzig would want.
Preview: UNCANNY X-MEN #1
Things are bad for mutants so it’s time for the X-Men to become more threatening as well.
In a world that’s never hated or feared mutants more, there is only one constant: BIGGER THREATS REQUIRE MORE THREATENING X-MEN. Refusing to accept one more mutant death, the most ruthless mutants on Earth have banded together to proactively mow down their enemies. But with a team populated by relentless killers, one question applies above all others: Can they stay away from each other’s throats long enough to sever their targets’?
The premise is interesting. And I like the new costumes for Magneto, Monet and Psylocke. I don’t even know how Archangel is back, but if he is back things are gonna get dark. Reminds me of when Deadpool fed him his own flesh
