Okay people, here's a great topic to start. If Fox and Marvel ever made X Men 4, (which they'll never do in the forseseable future) which mutants would you like to see and what should be the story? Personally I'd like to see Omega Red, Psylocke, Sage and Havoc in it. Story should revolve around Mr. Sinister leading Brotherhood of Mutants and Phoenix and Storm fighting over the leadership for X Men.

Psylocke has already appeared in X3. She had two lines and died.

As for who I'd like to see in an X4, I'd say Gambit -- introducing him in Wolverine was a mistake.

Apocalypse would be cool but I don't think the films should tackle him yet.

Mind you, I've never read any X-Men comics. I'm basing all this stuff on the old 90s cartoons.

How about, since this is Hollywood and all, wait 3 years before making anything x-men related and then... SHOCK everyone --- by doing a "RE-imagining" of the ENTIRE franchise. Not a RE-make... no, that'd be too easy. LEt's do a RE-Imagining of it.  That'll make those idiot crowd goers happy!

How many Hulk films did they do in 5 years time covering the origin? How many Punisher movies have they done in the last 20 years covering the origin? Hollywood is so out of ideas these days they'd be doing audience goers, all over the world, a huge service if they'd scan this site once or twice a month for new talent.

On that note... I can't say as if I was ever really into x-men much. Now the Flash... he's tops.

Thanks for your replies so far, guys. Reaper Creeper, your right, Psylocke was in X3. She should of had a slightly bigger part. As for Gambit, yeah, that would be cool. Only problem is using him would clash with Origins: Wolverine. I would like to see Apocalypse but I don't know who should play him. Baltis, I like the idea of re-imagining X Men. Only thing is Marvel have reimagened X Men a few times.

So if was going to do a whole new take on X Men, I would create a story which focuses on how society deals with the presence of Mutants and how they treat them, but not like in Heroes. I would probably leave out the X Academy all together, maybe. In my version the mutants train themselves and learn how to fend for themselves the hard way. Xavier and Magneto would sill be in there, but I would change their characters slightly.

So. your version is nothing like the X-men and would be something new...

After Origins Wolverine and Origins Magneto and the planned "First Class" who will want anymore?

The Wolverine movie is disappointing to say the least. The bone claws, Gambits pimp cane, Deadpool and I could go on with the problems it has. Unless the finished version is drastically different from the leaked version it will be a bigger disappointment then Venom.

What's wrong with the bone claws? Wolverine had bone claws before he was imbued with the adamantium skeleton.

I haven't seen the film yet, though, so no spoilers please.

The Hellfire Club would be nice, though I have no idea who would be the characters.

Well watch the trailer. A little kid with bone claws just doesn't work on screen. It make me laugh.

As him and his buddy are fighting the war (thats in the trailer to) you barely even know he has bone claws.

I'm fuzzy on the exact details but it seems pointless to change when he was virtually indestructible in the first place. Why go through the pain and agony to really change nothing.

Change nothing? In the early draft of the script that I read, the adamantium increased his strength to be on par with Sabertooth's so he could kill him in revenge for killing his girl. So I was under the impression the adamantium really made Wolverine a lot stronger.

AHHH!! I wanna watch the film bad.

--Julio

It may have made him stronger but what does that matter if either way you cannot die? The reason they wanted him was for another reason altogether.

The real response to your post is a spoiler so until you see it I cannot say anything haha

One decent thing for X-Men fans is Emma Frost has a small cameo. I never knew who she was until afterwards.

In the comic book, she's the White Queen in the Hellfire Club.


Phil

In more recent comics she is living with Cyclops and leader of The X-Men.

I guess with decades of material you can use whatever you want.

Really?  It's been a while since I read that comic book.


Phil

They are releasing a full motion comic which for those who aren't into reading comics is great.

This new way of doing it could be the bridge between wasting 50 million on a big budget film that becomes a disappointment.

It is a way to keep the book as it should be without butchering it.

This run by Joss Whedon has scenes that were used in X-Men 3 but not as good as they were used in the actual book.

They could always adapt the excellent 'alternate reality' X-men series "X-men:Evolution". That series was great and I wouldn't mind seeing a film version.
