Absolutely 10000000% agree with Archangel. Dine right, those metal wings would look bad ass.
Where does angel fit in in the movie universe? He was in #3 right?

Ben Foster has turned in to a pretty good actor since X3, I'd love to see them go that route and turn him in to Archangel.

Ugh. I hated AoA. Besides being overblown, it started the trend of "event" storylines, finishing with a reset-button that pretty much says FU to all the readers. It's one of the things that made me quit monthly comics back in the '90s.

Age of Apocalypse didn't start the event gimmick.
Knightfall, Death and Return of Superman, Zero Hour, and The Clone Saga were all written before Age of Apocalypse.
Heck, events really started back in the mid 80s with Crisis on Infinte Earths and Secret Wars.

The Brood/Starjammers would be too close thematically to the Chitari/Guardians storyline.
I'm just glad the success of the Avengers movie has lit a fire under the asses of the X-Men producers, otherwise we'd be getting a trilogy of Kitty Pride at the Massachusetts Academy with Emma Frost.

I meant the "reset button" as in most of what happened in all those books ended up not mattering. Those other events didn't hit the re-set nearly as hard as AoA did.

Anyone with half a brain could tell that AoA would have a big reset button. There is no way that Marvel was going to let AoA be the main continuity for X-Men.

Also, after 6 issues, Liefeld's titles were taken away from him and were also given to Wildstorm to finish out the 13 issue run that each title had.

My only exposure to X Men before the films came out was watching the cartoons as a kid, and I loved the Apocalypse episodes.
I think the X Men films are the best of any comic book franchise thats been launched in the past 13 years. So I'm totally down for this.
Laurence Fishburne as Apocalypse? Anyone?

The big question for me with this movie is which cast are they going with? Original X-men from Singer or the cast of First Class....or like DoFP both together? They cant keep making movies with both together. I really enjoyed First Class and just like whats happening with MoS sequel, i think they are being seriously short changed in follow ups.
Oh, and as to the suggestion someone put forward for Laurence Fishburne...no. I am really tired of seeing his excuse for acting. Whatever happened to the King of New York guy? No we have a pompous self indulgent actor with no range.

Fox is considering a Marvel style Cinematic Universe.
So Fantastic Four and X-Men might be crossing over now.
Does Fox own any other Marvel property besides those two?
