X-men: Dark Phoenix: (June 7,2019)

Why do I feel she will be as evil and lifeless as Deathstrike was?

At least she probably won’t get screwed over as bad as Riptide (or whatever his name was) did, lol. And it’ll be better than X3 Psylocke.

But some people in this thread wanted Kelly Hu as Psylocke!

(Kelly Hu would be better looking as Psylocke though.)

Hell, Kelly Hu is better looking in general, and is the (far) better actress.

That said, yeah, Lady Deathstrike was one of the more disappointing things about X2. I can’t imagine that Olivia Munn’s Psylocke will go the same way if she’s one of the Horse(wo)men though.

At the very least, Munn’s Psylocke won’t get utterly fucked over like the “blink and you’ll miss her getting disintegrated” version that “showed up” in the abomination that was X3.

Not the actress’s fault. That’s how they are written into the movie.
And I was one of the proponents of having Hu as Psylocke.

Looks so good.

Kelly Hu lives only to portray badass Asian Comic characters I guess.

Deathstrike
Karai
Cheshire
China White.

Why is the name China White? Shouldn’t China Yellow be more appropriate? Why even have a color? China should suffice.

(Why are you asking that in here?)

There’s a thread for Arrow, isn’t there?

retro inspired mini-games 20th Century Fox cooked up to promote X-Men: Apocalypse
Tenuously tied to the film as a throwback to the '80s when the movie is set, Retro X: Arcade is a set of three classic titles with a vaguely mutant spin. Pac-Man, Robotron, and Track & Field, have been morphed into Mutant Conquest, Revenge of Hero X, and Mutant All-Star Track & Field respectively.

lol damn…deadpool made everyone step their marketing game up

I can almost deal with Munnlocke.

But not the new Jean.

Not in any way shape or form.

Jean is supposed to be stunningly beautiful.

The only thing stunning about new girl, is the fact she got cast in the first place.

Just damn.

Ygritte syndrome is real.

(I don’t understand that reference, though a quick check of Google shows it’s apparently to Game of Thrones. Figures.)

Yeah. I agree on that point too, though to be fair to new girl, it’s rather difficult to be as almost effortlessly good-looking as Famke Janssen is. We’ll see if she at least act, at least if she actually gets to do so instead of Lawrence hogging all of the non-evil female screen-time.

Shrug. The more I see of this movie via trailer, the more I get less interested in seeing it. I may yet, but seeing Civil War may have just put the nail in the coffin there since I’d rather end the year on a high note as far as movies go and I’m not sure I can suffer through soft-spoken Apocalypse (not necessarily Oscar Issac’s fault), Jennifer Lawrence’s gigantic ego (definitely her own fault), and Singer and co.'s likely middling at best script (as can be expected from the people over at FOX who almost never actually understand anything).

We’ll though I guess. I’m not as decidedly against it was every time I learned about Batman v Superman–I’m still glad I dodged that bullet.

Alright, that’s good to hear.

The next X-Men movie will be set in the 90s

All I remember hearing about that upcoming film is that apparently the actress that plays the other Stark sister in Game of Thrones (whatever the brown-haired one’s name is, as opposed to the one Young Jean Grey plays) is supposedly Wolfsbane.

It hasn’t been confirmed. Fox denied it, which could lend credibilty to it though lol.

new light-hearted commercial w/some new footage

This is a downside of rumors. Every action or inaction could hint at the rumor. Denying the rumor means it’s possible, or why else deny it? Not speaking of the rumor means it’s possible since they aren’t confirming or denying it. Last option is saying the rumor is true which means…it’s valid. Lose/lose/lose situation.

There have been fan and professional screenings over the weekend and the global fan screening is happening right now in London.

The review embargo will be lifted at 5pm EST today, so hopefully we will start seeing some reviews.

Two characters confirmed (probably minor ones) are Caliban and Magda , Magneto’s wife
