Looks exciting now, is this the last one or something, title is misleading....

I have mixed feelings about it. The second one, IMO, was poor. Plus all these Gambit rumors have been flyng around and they arent true, Gambit will never put in an apperance. Which I think is a let down cause he is one of the main male characters. The return of Phoenix is cool, but some of the makeup for that is not so good.

Gambit has not been completely written off, he wont appear in this Movie, but may make future appearances ( but its very unlikely ). His actually powers are the reason why they dont want him to be included in the Movies...

I heard that this was the final XMen installment, thats why I thought Gambit had been left out of the picture completely. Plus Rogue and Gambit were meant to be an item in the comics and so were Wolverine and Storm at some point. I wonder why they mix matched them? I cant remember Wolverine being into Gene Grey, although I may have missed that.

As long as its making money their will never be a last, maybe different director. And yeah, Wolverine was into Jean in the comics, in fact in the Ultimate storyline Wolverine drops Cyclops off a cliff because he wants Jean. I've heard that Gambit is definitely going to be in the next X-men movie, you can see his name on the computer screen in X2 when Mystique is downloading the mutant files, maybe he'll get a cameo in this movie.

They are going to branch off into seperate Magneto and Wolverine storyline soon I hear.

Rouge is nothing like the comic Rouge. The movies have nothing to do with the comics just as the animated series don't.

I can't get that trailer to play because quicktime + firefox = suck and I'm too lazy to attempt to deal with it right now.

The teaser trailer turned me off a bit, but the new trailer is a bit redeeming. I liked the first two, despite having no real connection with the comics, aside from some very casual reading many years ago and watching the older X-Men cartoon which followed the comic closer than the new cartoon does.

And most interviews state that this is supposed to end it, though they might bring it back depending on the success of the third. But knowing how Fox handles their properties (and the fact that certain execs didn't want a sequel, let alone a thrid or fourth), a fourth will prolly be announced then go straight to pre-development hell. Or it will release with most of the cast missing and/or changed.

Wolverine was pretty heavy into Jean Grey in many of the incarnations.

They mix and match the couples a lot... they've done lots of 'alternate universes' and started things over from the beginning quite a few times in the comics. I'm pretty sure Wolverine and Jean were actually together in one of them. As for the rest of the couples, I'm not sure... but again, they mixed and matched things a lot of different ways. Character ages changed, the core group of original X-men is different, and so on. Just fan service, I think.

I saw the trailer during the two-hour 24 last Monday, and I've gotta say I'm lookin' forward to this one. I'm surprised by the darker tone, but I guess that's what a mutant war's gotta have.

Sorry, but for some reason I find this amusing. They should do it in the film.

Dont tell me you hadnt heard that rumour? I remember reading that he would appear in the second movie. Least Ive seen my Nightcrawler.

And I quote:

"Couldn't open the file 'xmenthelaststand_1080p.mov' because a bad public movie atom was found in the movie."

I don't know what this means, but something won't let me watch it.

In the age of Apocalypse Jean and Wolverine were together. Wolverine took out one of Cyclopes's eyes, but cyclops got one of Wolverine's hands.

In age of Apocalypse Rogue is with Magneto, choosing him over Gambit.

I'm greatly looking forward to this. Primarily because of the awesomeness of the first two, and also because of Beast.
