X-Men Movies

As disappointed as I am that things didn’t pull together for a new X-Men movie, im happy that the first of the proposed Origins movies is going to be coming in May 2009.

Hugh Jackman will play Logan/Wolverine (could it be anyone else? No.) Liev Schreiber as Victor Creed/Sabretooth and Taylor Kitsch as Remy LeBeau/Gambit. Gambit! One of my favorite character was always Gambit. I also always loved the relationship between him and Rogue. One of the things I found disappointing in the X-Men movies is the lack of that relationship.

I hoped for a long time that we would see that relation on the big screen. Who knows, maybe we still can? It was on superherohype.com shortly after X-Men 3 was out, that it was being proposed to be a 4th movie anyway and just recast partialy or completely. This would have opened up the possibility to see so much we hadn’t. The idea was shelved last I read.

Now, Fox is looking over the possibility of doing more spin-offs. This leaves it open once more. They could do it. We all saw at the end of X-Men 3 that its left open for Rogue to get her powers back. Upset that she cant touch Iceman ever again, she can run away, and into Remy’s arms. Where she belongs! A movie based on Rogue alone? I’d go see it.

But for now, we get Wolverine! The movie will go over how Logan seeks revenge against Victor Creed (who will later become Sabertooth) for the death of his girlfriend, and ultimately ends up going through the mutant Weapon X program.
