X-MEN: FIRST CLASS (Casting, Rumors, Pics till release)

Azazel (sp?), Nightcrawler's dad.

my idea for the Deadpool movie was to start with Deadpool, in costume, sitting in a cinema, watching Wolverine and then throwing popcorn at the screen and saying 'that's Hollywood bullshit! that's not how it happened!' turns to the camera: let me tell you how it REALLY happened...'

movie starts.
 
I might actually pay money to go and see that if they actually have Deadpool mock what came before. That would be epic.
 
The subscriber cover looks the best. I really don't know why they did the twofor ones, outside of double the money.

I haven't read the magazine yet, but what is this bit I keep hearing about how they say there is a surprise cameo in First Class?

Jeez, will it really be Wolverine, or will we have something like young Scott knocking on the door to the school?

Why does it need some sort of surprise?
 
Wolverine will not be in the movie. Singer has confirmed this. As to the cameo...who knows, it could be just a rumor. I've not heard or read anything about a cameo.
 
An American Moira? That's weird. And inconsistent with The Last Stand, where she definitely had a very strong Scottish accent.

And John Dykstra's working on this movie? Cool.

Maybe it will sink in this time.

^ As has already been s[tated in this thread several times Christopher, Singer and Vaughn have stated they're ignoring The Last Stand. Basically just Singer's two films count in terms of continuity.

^Which makes the stuff about Nicholas Hoult trying to sound like Kelsey Grammer odd. If they're ignoring The Last Stand, then consistency with that version of the character shouldn't be a concern.

Well, it's not like it has to be all or nothing. They may feel that they'd rather stay true to the version of the storyline that Singer had in mind and thus not be bound by the plotline of TLS, but that doesn't mean they couldn't draw on stylistic or performance elements of TLS that worked for them. I think most would agree that Grammer did a fine job as Beast, and I can see them accepting his performance as definitive even if they don't stay consistent with the events of the film around him.

That's how it often works in different adaptations of a franchise -- they draw some elements from each other but disregard others. Like George Lucas incorporating characters and species from the Star Wars Expanded Universe into his films and The Clone Wars even while contradicting the events of the stories that introduced them. Or like Spider-Man 3 adopting the '90s animated series' version of the alien costume arc (right down to the iconic shot of black-costumed Spidey waking up to see himself hanging upside-down on a mirrored skyscraper) while still being out of continuity with that series. Or like the Daniel Craig James Bond films keeping Judi Dench as M even while rebooting the rest of the continuity.

Beast spoke like Kelsey Grammer in the cartoons, video games, etc. way before Grammer was cast or considered in the role. Beast sounded like Grammer in voiceovers way before they even made the first X-Men movie.
 
Funny thing is the voice actor for the cartoon Beast is in the first movie-he's the guy who drops off Rogue in the "city".
 
Yep. His name is George Buza, and he played Beast in the '90s animated series. He's still my favorite Beast to this day, though Grammer is a close second.

Though he's not the only actor from that animated series to appear in a subsequent X-universe adaptation. Jeremy Ratchford, who voiced Banshee in the '90s series, went on to play Banshee in the live-action TV pilot Generation X.
