Thank the lord

this might turn out good with the script rewrite and brian singer coming in,cant wait for the trailer

@whomever....Waiit....you mean Twilight isn't part of x-men lore!

Good grief, let this shit die out already. I would have given the X-Men film trilogy a B grade overall, but thanks to X-Men: The Last Stand it only rates about a C-. The story of the adults still needs a proper finish before this gets started... ... I really need to hurry up and out grow this shit. It really isn't worth wasting time on any more.

im with #3 and i dont think they need to create new mutants that are not in the comics like they did in x-men 3. this will be like twilight but with mutants

Street Kings was a dark movie, so I hope First Class will be something like that =)

(Sigh)... Just what the world needs, another crappy Fox/Singer X-Men movie...

hmmm i believe some of x-men continuity stories involves teens, even baby versions of our fav mutants i dont know how many of you guys and gals read Xmen comics and for how long but there are tons of good stories that are followed by bunch of fans that have teen mutants in it. Take Kitty, Take Jubilee, Take Generation x, New Mutants, X-Babies (yep they are a sold-out hard to track down and pretty valuable storyline characters ). and When X men was founded the original class had the oldest one that was beast the iceman, angel were no more than 17, even cyclops was 20smth so the "first class" is supposed to be a teen actors movie of X mens youngsters years etc

@#19, Daequitas - As someone who has read a lot of X-Men comics, I take offense to what you just said. Firstly, as for your "there are tons of good stories that have teen mutants" is not entirely relevant. Yes, Kitty Pride and Jubilee were "teen mutants", but they were accessories to an older group. With Kitty a.k.a. Sprite a.k.a. Shadowcat, you had Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Colossus, Storm, and Professor X to carry the story. Basically the same thing applies to Jubilee, but with varying characters like Psylocke and Gambit. Now moving on to your statement that Generation X and the New Mutants were "good stories"...did you read those comics? It was these additions to the franchise that I almost gave up reading X-men altogether. The characters were pure crap, and I lost a lot of respect for Marvel. And X-babies? C'mon man, they were in 1 or 2 stories. That storyline was more of a joke than anything. Finally... yes, you are right in saying that Iceman, Beast, Angel, and Jean Grey were Professor X's first students, and the founding members of the X-Men. They were also teenagers in those early days, as well as in the X-Men:First Class adaptation. But of all the stories, I consider those the worst choices for movie adaptations. Who wants to see a bunch of kids pretending to be superheroes? (Not counting Kick-Ass). While I am possibly speaking for myself, I would rather see over a hundred other Uncanny X-Men comics be made into movies. (Approximately Uncanny X-men #'s 94 - 214)

I like those glasses Ben Stiller is wearing.

Good to have Brian back.

@26 lol! The worst xmen movie was 3. There was nothing but generic mutants and subpar plotlines. And to top it off they kill off all of the good characters.

hi there #21 "The man with no name" (cool nick by the way ooh no what have i done, may be some shithead producer reads this and tries to reboot the man with no name, please nooo, i take it back pleasee) i am sorry to have offended you but it was surely not my intention. i agree on all aspects of your reply to a certain degree but all the more i was just saying if the stories are scripted well enough even teen mutants have the potential to look good on screen, they can achieve what those stories have achieved in the comics. i mainly stated what the sales pointed out regarding those titles and issues that they had their moments then. i didnt say anything about a Wolverine, a Gambit or a Colossus or Nightcrawler (where is he by the way ), Prof X or even Magneto not being in the scene to complete the picture and maybe play the "mentor/muscle/friend/dad/love interest" part whatever the point of view the youngsters look up to them for... we have seen what they, company men, did (or could not do and only ruined perfectly good material) with Xmen Origins: Wolverine. (as much as i love hughs portrayal of the old canucklehead and the effort he puts in the character Wolverine was not what it deserved to be in the X Men Origins:W, just another action movie with good sequences and bangs) they cant handle those hard edged, morally challenging/intense and deep, visually definetely R stories such as Days of future Past, Trial of Magneto oh and the lovely Mutant Massacre story lines. at least not under the roof of Fox. i would die to see them done justice on the screen as much as the next diehard fan, as much as you. would die to watch them over and over but for the time being as long as comic adaptations mostly kept at a certain rating (PG-13 duh... not even one of those issues you mentioned have stories that a 13 year old could easily really comprehend, they actually deal adult issues and stories) there is really not muchof a chance yes i read almost all of the titles that i have mentioned and still have them in my collection. and yes they did have great stories that were fun to read, heavy on the action at the same time and dealt with lots of teen subjects. and they seeded great subplots that woud result in great stories later on. i meant no offense and still do mean none, all i am saying is, being teen or having powers as that you dont understand are not automatically a bad combination. it has lots of potential if done right. it could send great messages to the teens that will see it in the theatres. all it needs is a good script, and a loyal to the source visionary director who is not afraid of the film companies. of all the X themed movies my fav is the 2nd X which came closest to the xmen we knew. each had great moments, great characters, casts to them but as a whole only 2nd came close accomplishing to being that "X team". i believe marvel really should get all the rights to film for his characters. because it causes great pain to us all, to see our fav heroes being massacred. i am not trying to prove you wrong or anything, just those stories that you dislike have potential too if done right and it would not hurt to see them done right and it will not be another Twilightish teen movie. thats all i was trying to point out..(and Twilight fans also have their every right to love whatever they want to, its a matter of taste) (oh and the X Babies are a load of fun to read fast paced and action packed i gotta go read them again. at least even they had better stories than we were fed in X3 (minus the fastball special, the Sentinel scene )) Oh Kick-Ass will definetely kick some serious ass i loved the comic. and the trailers give the feel that they are gonna nail it ... cheers
