Darth Lohr Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 When the real-life woman you have always had a huge crush on gets cast as the...um, imaginary woman drawn on a piece of paper that you have always had a huge (and totally normal, non-creepy) crush on - that, my friends, restores my faith in humanity... http://assets.nydailynews.com/polopoly_fs/1.1005327%21/img/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/gallery_1200/jpg.jpghttp://images2.fanpop.com/images/photos/8400000/Psylocke-marvel-superheroines-8418868-400-898.jpg Olivia Munn Cast as Psylocke In X-Men: Apocalypse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Krawlie Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 There are plenty of quality actresses out there, though. Some are even good looking. Then again, this is xmen we're talking about. Besides Charles, magneto, mystique, beast, and Logan, everyone else will just get a line or two and one token display of power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NumberSix Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Quicksilver's split-second looks oddly cheesy. Otherwise...hm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Not entirely sure how I feel. So far all of these movies have been rentals for me, so this will probably remain the same. Not quite special enough to use my limited free time to actually go out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Bald Charles, yay! Jubilee, yay! Apocalypse looks good. Glad to see Nightcrawler back in some form or another. First Class was fine, but I really think there needs to be a strong non-Xavier/Magneto "X-Man" presence in the group. Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique is alright, but doesn't really do it for me. It just feels like there's something missing since they didn't bother to really cultivate any other non-leader character besides Wolverine.

Driver Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 "Look, I'm Jennifer Lawrence. You want me in this, I ain't sitting through no 10 hours of make up and standing around naked all day." So yeah-- I'm probably the biggest PT style apologist when it comes to X-Men movies, so I'm in. As long as you don't worry about continuity, it's fun times.

Darth Krawlie Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Apocalypse still looks like a Power Ranger villain, but should be fun. I've found something to enjoy in all the X-Men movies, even the shit ones, so yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacen123 Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Oscar Isaac doesn't have the deep voice I associate with Apocalypse (probably form the 90s cartoon), but I'm encouraged by him just being Apocalypse. I hadn't heard of him before he was announced for this and TFA, but he has been outstanding in everything I've seen him in. I can't imagine that he, at the very least, would not be good in this, too.

Not quite special enough to use my limited free time to actually go out.It takes a lot for me to see a movie in the theater anyway. So far, I have only seen X2 in the theater, and the rest at home. This one won't be different. Bald Charles, yay! Jubilee, yay! Apocalypse looks good. Glad to see Nightcrawler back in some form or another.

It just feels like there's something missing since they didn't bother to really cultivate any other non-leader character besides Wolverine.I'm also glad to see mohawk Storm! Also, I didn't see Wolverine in this one, so I am guessing Quicksilver and Beast might end up filling the non-leader roles you are talking about. I also read Gambit is supposed to be in this movie, and that there may be a Gambit movie in the works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 I'll be shocked if Hugh doesn't do a cameo for this. Maybe a post credits thing to hype up his next movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driver Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 They did say he was on set-- but we didn't see the Wolverine workout tweets so I bet it's a cameo. I for one don't mind Wolverine as the Star. As for a lead-- Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique is posing as human and is on the X-Men side thanks to the altered timeline. Her star power is equal to Jackman's these days. Pretty sure she'll carry a lot of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 I wonder how big of a deal Mystigue would've been in the recent films if they hadn't cast Jennifer Lawrence. I also don't have a problem with Wolverine being the central character. As a kid I thought he was the most interesting character of the bunch, even though he was treated mostly as a side character in the early 80s. Weird to think that they almost killed him off instead of Thunderbird, if that story is true. I think the biggest challenge this movie faces is selling Apocalypse. He was a great villain in the comics, but I fear that the film version is gonna come off as goofy/cheesy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Final trailer https://m.youtube.com/watch?sns=fb&v=Jer8XjMrUB4 I'm looking forward to this slightly more than Civil War. I loved DOFP, First Class, Deadpool and The Wolverine. They're really on a roll since the two stinkers before those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Krawlie Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I dunno, not really feeling it. I doubt I'll get to the theater but will definitely rent it. Like I said before, I've found something to enjoy out of every X-Men film and I'm sure this one will be no different. Just not excited about it like I was previous installments.

ShadowDog Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I'll see it in theaters but not the first weekend. Marvel has a long history of getting it right that FOX just doesn't have with X Men. It should be good but I also wouldn't be shocked if it's a shit show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exodus Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 The final trailer did some justice to the voice of Apocalypse...finally. I'm not enthused either, but it's my favorite Marvel villain...so I have to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poe Dameron Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I'll see it in theaters but not the first weekend. Marvel has a long history of getting it right that FOX just doesn't have with X Men. It should be good but I also wouldn't be shocked if it's a **** show. Singer's run with X-Men has been pretty darn good I'd say. X2 probably still stands as the best large ensemble superhero movie (though Civil War will probably soon surpass it). I certainly wouldn't put either Avengers movies above it. It's really a shame that Singer got lured by Warner Bros. into finally completing that Superman Returns movie. They had some solid momentum going to build the franchise up before the Ratner and X-Men Origins: Wolverine debacles knocked them off course for the better part of a decade.
