"Ben Foster (Six Feet Under) will play the mutant Archangel (aka Angel) in 20th Century Fox's X-Men 3, reports Variety. In the comics, carefree millionaire Warren Worthington III was the high-flying, heroic Angel. But Warren's world came crashing down when dark forces conspired to clip his wings. Recovered from his brush with evil, Archangel again soars the skies alongside the uncanny X-Men. The actor joins fellow "X-Men" newcomers Kelsey Grammer and Vinnie Jones in the second sequel, which reteams Hugh Jackman, Famke Janssen and Ian McKellen. Brett Ratner is directing the third installment, scheduled to hit theaters on May 26, 2006. Foster's recent films include Hostage and The Punisher."

Wow... just, wow. Worthington is supposed to be a handsome stud. All signs point to great casting.

"Halle Berry talked to V Life, the new Variety magazine, about her role as Storm in the "X-Men" movies. The interview was done before she had agreed to come back for X-Men 3. "I suffered through the two movies where die-hard fans would come up to me and say, 'How come you let them make Storm wimp out all the time?'" she says. "As if I have any control. Last time I asked them to let Storm do something more than drive the plane, and she drove the plane. Storm is a formidable fighter in the comic books; she has a cape and can fly. I've never flown anywhere in two movies except behind the wheel of that plane. I'd hate to not be part of the final film, but I won't spend five months standing around, even though we all stand to get paid a lot of money this time." "X3" co-writer Zak Penn says Berry won't be disappointed. "As one of the writers of the last film, I'd say it's true she ended up with mostly exposition and plane-flying," Penn says. "There was a whole sequence at the beginning of the last film that showed the origins of her character in Africa, and it got cut simply because there are 14 characters to service. But 'X3' has a couple of big twists, and Storm is right in the center of them. The fact that Halle is a very good actress who was underused compounds the wish for her to have a better role. 20th Century Fox's X-Men 3, directed by Brett Ratner, is currently filming for a May 26, 2006 release. "

I HAVE A CAPE OK
I CAN FLY

8/12/2005 12:00:10 PM

God this movie sounds like it's getting worse by the second

8/12/2005 12:04:03 PM

you're kidding right

I THINK ITS GONNA BE AMAAAAZING

8/12/2005 12:39:13 PM

I will make no judgments until I see pictures of beast, juggernaut and angel.

8/12/2005 12:43:50 PM

SHE FLEW FOR A FEW SECONDS IN THE STATUE OF LIBERTY.


Oh yeah and in the movies they kinda left out that SHE COULD SHOOT LIGHTNING FROM HER HANDS. LIKE RAIDEN!

8/12/2005 12:45:02 PM

The only thing they've done right with this film thus far is Vinnie Jones as Juggernaut.

8/12/2005 12:56:18 PM

I demand a hi-res photo of Beast now.

9/9/2005 1:33:38 PM

you know
as worried as i was about this film, especially with brett hackner

at least topher grace isn't playing venom in this

oh, and gambit isn't in it either

I'm pretty ticked he's not in it. I admit he's annoying to hear talk, but they could have done some cool things with him. Does angel do anything but fly? I'd rather swap those two.

flying is kinda important
and we don't have (m)any flyers on the (movie) team
we already have someone with attitude and a shady past

Damnit Halle Berry, you hvae to come back as Storm...I will accept no one else....umm well maybe Janet Jackson...or Vanessa Williams...but I hate having characters switched after a sequel...canit wait for X3!!!!!!

Trailer description, will be online Monday Dec. 5 on Apple.com

Quote :

"While in Vancouver visiting the set of X-Men 3, ComingSoon.net/SuperheroHype.com and several other online journalists were asked by Hugh Jackman, in full Wolverine garb, if we had seen the teaser trailer. When we said we hadn't, he said, "Oh, you've got to see it!" Little did we know that he hadn't seen it either and was actually on his way to check it out. After a quick check with the Fox representatives, Hugh Jackman got approval from our gracious Fox hosts to let us see it with him. He then led us through a maze of trailers to a truck trailer with a screening room. (There's nothing more surreal than following Wolverine, along with a group of fellow internet geeks, through a movie set.) We all sat down and got to watch the teaser along with Jackman himself. I'll do my best to recap it. The trailer is a montage of scenes from the film. It starts out with a voice over by Patrick Stewart. As he talks about the war of mutants (as well as angels and demons), we see a bunch of very, very brief scenes. Here's what I remember (not necessarily in order): - The X-Men walking down the hall in the basement of the X-Mansion. We see Wolverine, Storm, Kitty Pryde, Colossus, and others. - An exterior shot of the X-Mansion - Storm walking out of the Mansion doors and looking at a cloudy sky. - Quick shot of Professor X in a wheelchair. - A shot of Beast and the other X-Men at what appears to be a funeral. - A shot of Angel, shirtless and in a lab, quickly unfolding his wings in from of some scientists. - A quick shot of the President and his advisors. - Juggernaut in a containment cell. - A shot of Magneto in the woods flanked by Pyro, Juggernaut, and an Asian mutant among others. Magneto delivers a line and dozens of mutants raise their fists in the air. - Cyclops screaming at the sky. - Wolverine meeting Cyclops at Alkali Lake and his glasses flying off and into Wolverine's hand. - Jean Grey waking up on an infirmary table. - An X-Student walking through the halls of the Mansion flying paper airplanes with his powers. - Storm flying through the air, then spinning and knocking people over. - Storm flying and knocking Wolverine out of the way of debris falling down (in a Danger Room training sequence). - A shot of Magneto causing a car to fly up into the cab of a truck. - A shot of Magneto and other mutants walking along the Golden Gate Bridge. The Bridge then starts ripping and bending apart. - A shot of Jean Grey casually walking towards a door in the infirmary and it violently blowing apart. - A scene of Wolverine jumping out of a tree and tearing someone apart with his claws. - A shot of Mystique jumping onto a desk in front of somebody, and her hands are chained together. The trailer then concludes with the X and Wolverine's claws as seen on the poster. The reaction to it was overwhelmingly positive among us and we applauded it (which was again surreal with Hugh Jackman there seeing it for the first time with the rest of us). This teaser gives us our first look at Beast in full makeup. The best way to describe it is to say that Kelsey Grammer looks like the Marvel Legends Beast action figure, at least from the neck up. You'll have to freeze frame the trailer in order to get a good look at him (or any of the mentioned scenes, for that matter). However, the scene with Angel is what stood out to most of us who watched it together. Seeing him unfold his wings was an impressive sight. We asked to see it again and they obliged. Jackman even wanted to see it too, so he stuck around. All in all it was a fun evening. You'll hear more about our visit to the set in coming months. The X-Men 3 teaser trailer will be attached to "King Kong" when it hits theaters, but it will debut online this coming Monday, Dec. 5th. Watch for it on Apple's website in High Definition quality. Thanks again to 20th Century Fox and Hugh Jackman for giving us a sneak peek. You guys are going to love it, too."

FUCK......................................YES...........................!!!!!

12/2/2005 9:55:58 AM

if thats all true
and they deliver on this as good as it seems in my head

i'll never criticize ratner again

i have a feeling the finished film is going to be much like the description of the trailer
choppy, overpacked, and more sizzle than steak

PROVE ME WRONG X3

12/2/2005 10:00:22 AM

i hope you are wrong too

12/2/2005 11:23:39 AM

i mean, in reality

neither x-film has been "good movies"

they have just been "good comic book movies"

spiderman 2 was a "good movie" that happened to have a comic as source material...

but having said all that

there is no x-movie i will not see

hell, i had back-to-back tickets for the opening day of x2

12/2/2005 3:43:02 PM

that link just leads to the same pic that is in the thread

its in your cache homey

and cwill, what do you think about beast?

this is actually better than what i expected for beast

of course, this is just a headshot type thing

and angel looks right to me...

12/5/2005 12:56:56 AM

Beast rocks, I think they're going with the Astonishing look for his uniform, if so that'd be awesome. I'm really glad they didn't go with the recent "cat" Beast. It's so much better than what I was expecting! I kept thinking they were gonna go with the weird design they came up with for X1 until they cut his character. Angel looks good too, can't wait to see him in uniform as well. I also like Halle's new haircut, the black streaks are pretty tight.

Trailer will be up later today (haven't found out what time yet) at Apple's trailer site.

hey, did they ever replace nightcrawler?

cause i was just thinking

Niles probably isn't doing anything

12/5/2005 1:03:43 AM

Nah Nightcrawler isn't in this one, and according to stuff I've read, his absence won't be explained.

12/5/2005 1:04:22 AM

thats kinda wierd....

i mean, real wierd

12/5/2005 1:04:58 AM

Quote :

"X-Men Movies.com which says: "The real story behind dropping Nightcrawler from the current script are two reasons: One being that the studio looked at the number of X-Men that were going to be in this new story and it was just too many to fit in.The producers really wanted new heroes like Beast to be given their own screen time as this is the first X-Men Movie they are in, and between the new heroes being added to the story and looking at how much the budget was going to be, something had to give. Nightcrawler's absense will not be explained, nor will the part be recasted." says scooper BA."
