Has anyone considered the Sabertooth problem? That being, they have the guy from scream 3 playing Sabertooth in this movie, but they already showcased S.T. in the first x-men movie. Am i wrong? This was the first thing i found troubling about this movie (granted, i haven’t seen it yet). Any comments about that? Surprised it didn’t make the list!

It’s kinda sad reading this after having seen the movie. I bet you guys are wicked disappointed. What I don’t get is why the accent changed. The clip of Gambit talking that was linked to from here sounded different from what Gambit sounded like in the film (Southern, but not Cajun).

Is odd. And the whole Deadpool thing sucked, beyond the telling of it.

as I said in the previous post is that it is not DP it is in fact Weapon XI who is played by Scott Adkins, so I have no worries on that issue.

i believe that the markings are the outline to the graphing of the metal. it also could be an early character from the origins comic. there is hype that it is deadpool but we all know that he cant shot lazers from his eye. what it could be is cyclopes shoting him in the face so wolverine can get him from behind.

I dont know if its been discovered yet, but the voice of gambit is on the movie website… its one sentence but hearing the accent and see him sends chills up my spine. This movie is going to do very very well. I am very excited. I am like a schoolboy here… This is a wonderful time we live in. I am 27 and to be able to see all my childhood marvel heros come to life on the big screen is very exciting. Cheesy or not i love all of the marvel movies, because they are apart of my childhood and now a part of my adult life that i can now share with my children. Marvel has done a wonderful thing for fans.

@ rhardo,

Good point, I’ve not seen the gloves in the promo material so far, I wonder if they’ll include that…

@ Dustin,

It’s not really a reboot – This movie is within Fox’s X-Men “continuity”, and by the time the movie comes out, we’ll see a few ties to the trilogy.

nice info… but you might want to include Gambit’s customized gloves in the list… it’s one of his costume trademarks, so to say. And by way, the eyes, i’m buying it… splash in more black there, production peeps!!!

A few things guys:

-They are looking at doing a Deadpool movie so I dont think they are going to f**ck up the character like that. I think the movie will end with the dissolution of the Weapon X team and open up the way for the deadpool movie (And i’m sure they are looking at the possibility of a Gambit movie if the response is there)

-Even though they are using Jackman for obvious (good) reasons, the rest of this movie is a reboot. It does not need to tie into the X movies. My guess is that we will see a new X-men movie reboot at some point, they are probably keeping an eye toward that in thier casting and storyline decisions (May be the “First Class” movie, who knows)

Weapon XI is likely a collection of mutant powers. We know that in the future Stryker has the ability to control mutants (using a serum developed from his son), so it’s not unreasonable to believe that he’s able to do something similar in the past. That would explain Weapon XI looking “like” Deadpool, having claws and using Cyclops’s optic blast. It would also explain the like “Here’s the one you’re looking for” in reference to Scott Summers.
