I reverted to my teen years when I saw Gambit. *squee*
Trailer is up!
Me Likey... :D
Am I mistaken, or did I spot Deadpool and a young Storm in there too?

A source is also confirming that a young Cyclops will be in the movie. Also Gambit and Deadpool spinoff movies are already in the works.
I know it was only a quick glimpse but I thought Sabertooth looked too much like a goth metrosexual instead of a bestial killer. Then again the trailer for the first X-Men movie left me feeling less than enthused about Hugh Jackman as Wolverine and I was happily proven wrong.

Deadpool is the only reason I am going to see this movie!!!
If they did a Deadpool movie I would be there in a heartbeat!
Only movie I would want to see more is a Flash movie!
=D
Which Flash?
Jay?
Barry?
Wally?
Bart?
And is Mark Hamil too old now to play the Trickster?

Oh God I remember that!
They even had a bit about an old 50's or 60's vigilante using the motif of the Sandman!It was a two parter where the second dealt with a Punisher style vigilante who used the same "hero" identity as the older hero.
If memory serves he came back when an old enemy of his based on a Futuristic mad scientist easily transferrable as a batman villain came back having been thought dead but had spent 3-4 decades in cyonic suspension...

I have that Series on DVD. ;)
I would have to say Barry.
Even though Wally is realistically my Flash, Barry is still seen as The Flash.
and Hopeless: that vigilante's name is Nightshade.

Yes but his style of operating and methods screamed the Sandman, Wesley Dobbs, admittedly still after that era but it all but hollered the connection to me.
I wonder if they'll ever manage to produce episodes like that and be as fondly remembered... and I don't count Smallville since too much went wrong with their attempts!

Never watched Smallville (I was never a Supeman fan, except the Doomsday Issues when he died), but I did watch the episode with Bart... weird!
To be honest, I was disappointed that Wolverine wasn't wearing that metal bucket on his head.
Seriously though, this looks "meh". Thanks for the link!
Peace,

It looks okay. The helicopter is a bit too much for me, though.
I'm still waiting for Hal Jordan to get his silver screen dues...

Deadpool = double yawnBlasphemer. Thou shalt burn for eternity for thy heretical ways!
;)
Deadpool is just mixture of Domino and Wolverine and meant to be disposable villain. His character is one dimensional at best, kind of like DC's Lobo, but for some reason some people just adore sociopathic characters. If you dressed John Wayne Gacy in spandex some fan boy out there would be calling him the greatest character ever. Not that I'm calling you a fan boy though.

Spandex? But Gacy already came with his own superhero/villain costume. Wasn't he a co-star in McFarlane's Spawn?

It's OK, I'm comfortable with my Fanboyism. ;)
I think what makes Deadpool so much fun (aside from the sociopathic tendencies, but hey, we play D&D where we kill things and take their stuff and the common folk praise us for it, so we can't really point fingers there) is that he is either so crazy he's sane, or so sane he's crazy.
Deadpool knows he's in a comic book.
Kid you not, in several issues he makes reference to other events by issue number, page number, or such. He routinely breaks the fourth wall.
He is optimistic escapism given flesh. He has as much fun as he can, and with the exception of a few situations that would likely break even the most mentally resilient of folks, he maintains a cheerful, upbeat, looking-foreward-to-the-next-moment outlook on life. Which is amazing, considering he's a horriblly disfigured person who was previously a terminal cancer patient, subjected to government experiments because of his terminal status, pursued by law enforcement, and has had his personal life shredded on multiple levels by his own actions and the terrors the weapon X program put him through. His history has more in common with the Punisher and the Joker, yet his personality is much closer to Spiderman or the Human Torch.
He's the magnificent bastard we wish we could be, maybe not all the time, but sometimes. Like arguing with the french cook to make sure the bar of butter he sticks into the bullet hole in his butt is both fresh and not margarine. Or when the obnoxious sleazy man behind him at a restaurant kept talking about parallels between food and sex, and after jumping him once then calming down, finding out he's the guy who invented Pop-Up Adds, and going back to finish the job.

I'm wondering if we might have a Captain America cameo. After all Logan and Cap worked together during World War II and they at least touch on that part of Wolverine's life in the movie.
That would be a neat nod, to tie things together a little. (And that story was one of my favorites, although it's been at least partially retconned out of existence, since the new improved Wolverine always had claws, even before the adamantium.)

Any one hear any news on a Capt. America movie? If Marvel is working up to an Avengers movie as implyed by the teasers at the end of Iron Man and the Hulk (the good one) and Thor is coming out next year so Cap has to next right?
The rumors I have heard is that there will be two Cap movies, one set in World War II and the other one that will actually introduce the Avengers as a team set in modern times. There is also an Ant-Man movie in the works. The Cap movie is set to come out in 2011.

That would be so cool if done right. I think now that Marvel is producing their own movies the chances of a Capt. America not sucking is really good. The proof is below.
Fantastic Four (both) not produced by Marvel = big suck
the first Hulk movie not produced by Marvel = suck (I liked it but most people thought it was crap)
second Hulk produced by Marvel = big green fun
The first two Punisher movies not produced by Marvel:
the first (Dolph Lungrun) = unwatchable
the second (Thomas Jane) = boring
the third (Ray Stevenson) produced by Marvel = violent goodness
Daredevil and Ghost Rider not produced by Marvel = meh
Electra, not even going to coment
X-Men and Spiderman movies are the exception to the rule, not produced by Marvel but really good.
what; no Ironman reference; I feel cheated...

How could I forget Iron Man it was the best Marvel movie yet.
I will be seeing this just to see if they do Gambit and Deadpool any justice.
As for the Cap cameo, as logical as it would be (there's a photo from this movie of Logan among a group of soldiers rushing out of one of those amphibious landing craft that are synonymous with The D-Day invasion), I don't think it will happen. Simply put, the Wolverine movie is being produced by Fox, and in order for Cap to make an appearance, Marvel would have to license the character to Fox...and that is just not going to happen with so many of Marvel's own projects depending on their exclusive rights to the character.
In my opinion, this is perfectly fine. While crossovers are par for the course in the Marvel comics themselves, I've always felt that the X-Men make far more sense if there are no non-mutant heroes running around the same world. It simply doesn't make sense that those who are born with mutant powers should be the subject of hate and fear in the same world where the Fantastic Four and the Avengers have such celebrity. Marvel has played with different variations on this setup with the Ultimate universe and the last three major crossover events, but in the end, the best X-Men stories, IMHO, are the ones where we never see or hear anything about the rest of the Marvel Universe.
Robert "Peanut Butter, Chocolate, You Know the Story" Ranting
/agree with Robert. While I love me some Hulk vrs. Spidey vrs. Wolverine vrs. Captain America action, a major portion of the various sources of antagonism for the X-Men stem directly from the human fear of "that which is differnt".
If other "powered" humans exist in the world, this dillutes the effect. Sure, logically, you can say that the mutants are freaks of nature, while people like the FF and Spidey are "victims of circumstance" and then folks like Iron Man are just "obscenely wealthy".
But fear isn't logical. So the logic ultimately breaks down, and we find the nice line between mutant and human is blurred by a dozen "not quite but maybe" cases, like the bit where the government had to figure out if Spiderman fell under the classification of mutant or not.
The stories are more cutting and poingiant if the lines in the sand are clear and easy to see.
Who had the "beard, minus mustache" look first: Sabretooth or Wolverine? Will this be explained in the film?

I think you are referring to the extended sideburns. Neither of them have a beard. Wolverine appeared in the comics first.

Heh, Wolverine's first appearance, where his only power was super-speed, and he took off his glove at one point and the claws came with them, because they were things he wore, not parts of his body! How things have changed.
Sabertooth, for that matter, didn't have regeneration when he first fought Spiderman, either, and had terrible scarring on his face in their later encounters, from where he ripped webbing off of his face in their first encounter (the face tore, the webbing didn't!).
How amazingly different these two characters have become.

Vendle, Mark Hamil has been very involved in comic book based TV/Movies for years, wow, almost 20 years.
His take on the Joker, for example, is very different and better developed than Jack Nicholson or Heath Ledger*
When CBS wanted to do the Flash, he showed up with EVERY comic the Trickster was in, and said he was a 'must have' villian. CBS agreed and offered him the part then and there.
The DCAU honoured that dedication by having him voice the Trickster in Justice League Unlimited.
If there were to be another Live Action Flash TV show, having him as the Trickster, or at least in some role, is a must.
*This is also why I dislike the 'Joker made him do it' on Heath Ledger's death. Mark Hamil did the voice for how many years? Personal theory, he woke up and finding out he slept with an Olson twin was too much to bear.
I'm no comics expert, but Gambit was always my favorite character from X-Men. Does anyone know why his eyes are normal in the trailer?

Budget? Pre production?
If you watch the trailer to the scorpion king on the Mummy Returns, you see Kelly Hu's bikini top when she comes out of the pool. If you watch the movie, it's been digitally removed.
Mmmm Kelly Hu.
Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool is epic win in my book.An anoying actor to play an anoying character how aproprate. ;)
Oy! Them be fightin' words!
I'm actually a huge fan of Ryan Reynolds. I see him as someone who's able to play a wide range of characters believably. Plus he's got great comic talent too!Your mileage obviously varies, though. :-)

I never noticed that. Yeah digitally removed! Though I hope you're right about pre-production because Gambit just doesn't seem right without the eyes. At the very least they should glow when he charges something up.
