Just ask George Lucas.

I'm sure it will be Second Class.

serial_crusher: It better have Wolverine.

Why? While he may not be the worst X-Man character aren't you thoroughly sick of his Mary Sue ass yet?

Michael Fassbender as Magneto was brilliant. His German (and his French) were spot on.

a tween-quel?

He was born in Germany and grew up speaking the language.

yeah... but weren't they supposed to be Polish? since they were supposed to be in the Warsaw Ghetto?

ZAZ: I was going to say interquel before reading NeedlesslyCanadian's post so let's declare it the correct word and move on with life.

I think we should call it a "Shemp".

FirstNationalBastard: Crapquel?

You're so indie.

indarwinsshadow: Michael Fassbender as Magneto was brilliant. His German (and his French) were spot on.

Yeah, and Germans usually speak English with an Irish accent.

//not even close to my biggest problem with the flick

"Midquel"?

texdent: James!: texdent: Will it have Scott and Jean meeting for the first time?

I'd rather have Femke Jannsen naked, thanks.

I want a movie with the original five being gathered by a bald man in a wheel chair.

He wasn't always in a wheelchair. He walks up to tot-Jean's house at the start of the 3rd movie, in a '20 years ago...' sequence.

I hope they touch on the fact that Juggernaut* is (was) Prof. X's (half) brother. (Apparently he dies with everyone else at the end of the 3rd, but you never see him again after Shadowcat rescues Mutant X from the lab (after admitting he '[doesn't] swim]' (and they're on Alcatraz), plus they could just work a prequel of him, which would really rock because there's not enough movies where the bad guys win in the end (and there needs to be more of those, since, as you can see from the state of the US economy, the bad guys always win in the end).

Sybarite: Okay, as long as there isn't a third movie. Well all know where that ends up.

Right here: Link (new window)

I'm so happy their making another movie for me since I'm apparently the only one who liked First Class.

Fassbender was born in Germany but grew up in in Ireland.

Not sure how you could resolve those competing accents without one or the other getting wrecked.

/your biggest problem was the nerdrage causing your neckbeard to flare up and obscure a decent flick.
//as burnt out as even I am on origin stories, First Class was pretty good

urban.derelict: /*who was an explorer who found an ancient rock-artifact which gave him his powers

He wasn't an explorer. He was a US soldier in the Korean War and was deserting. Anyway, that's how the story originally went.

Was he speaking? I didn't even notice.



The Tunguska meteor wouldn't be able to rival the destruction I would inflict on that man.

Anteprequel.

Over-quel.

cgraves67: I'm so happy their making another movie for me since I'm apparently the only one who liked First Class.

Nope. I loved it. Best of the bunch IMO. Looking forward to this especially if it's with the same cast. Please god let them keep the same chick for mystique. I get hard just looking at that babe.

GAT_00: X-Men First Class was good. The sequel might suck but it could easily be better than the other comic book shiat that comes out X-Men 3.

Fark you, Brett Ratner!

I dunno Smitty. Ask JJ Abrams.

I just saw it this past weekend. Fantastic in my opinion for the genre. Very well cast, a solid story, good effects, and I think they did a good job tying it into the first two movies (let us just pretend there was no third). And I applaud them going with some of the less popular mutants for this story (though I did enjoy the cameo).

The one thing that bothered me about the first movies is you were just supposed to understand Magneto and Charles had been friends since you were told, but were never shown how or why. It's so central to the plot and the behavior and core of both characters I always felt it deserved actual screen time. It took something away from the story in my opinion. I think First Class did an excellent job of establishing that background.

And it's been said, but Fassbender absolutely nailed the Magneto role. I liked Mckellen's version, but I felt Fassbender did a much better job at depicting the Magneto from the comics I read growing up.

All that said, I'd wish they would leave well enough alone and avoid a sequel, but who didn't see this coming? Hope it doesn't suck.

serial_crusher: It better have Wolverine.




Go fark yourself

First Class was great, almost made me forget about the nonsense in Last Stand.

The canon's a little weird if you think about it too much. Sometimes it's clearly a direct prequel to the rest of the X-Men movies (Rebecca Romijn & Hugh Jackman cameos), and other times it's a reboot (hairless Beast, Professor X walking up to Jean Grey's house). I guess that's comic books for you...

GAT_00: serial_crusher: It better have Wolverine.

I'd enjoy an X-Men movie without him.

Can't we all agree what Fox needs to do with the Wolverine license is make a Wolverine movie that involves Omega Red, because he is awesome.

/Omega Red!

Still pissed with the end of First Class. Really should have saved Magneto's turn till at least the second film. A growing friction between Charles and Magneto would have been much better that the quick turn we got.

the dizzle: Still pissed with the end of First Class. Really should have saved Magneto's turn till at least the second film. A growing friction between Charles and Magneto would have been much better that the quick turn we got.

I hear ya. I'm sure they just weren't sure they'd make a second film.
