Hugh Jackman Hugh Jackman *does a dance* and the possibility of Gambit *spins*
Hmm, though that might make Gambit older than he's supposed to be...

Well, the X-Men Origins thing means that the titles will seem consistent, as they're coming out with more, like Magneto.

Cool. I have no idea about X-Men, but the guy looks like someone I may have to draw sometime.

Wait, is that just a flashy movie title or are they seriously gonna be turning parts of the mini-series "Origins" into a movie?

1: The mini series is called Wolverine Origin. Wolverine Origins (with an S) is one of the current ongoing Wolverine comics.
2: It's just a flashy movie title which im sure they'll also attach to the Magneto movie.

I really don't see why people are so negative about this title. I think it's fine. It's a movie that has to do with the origin of an X-Men character, and they'll be doing more than one. What's the problem?

Oh, I don't the title either, I was just wondering if they were going to convert some of Origins into some scenes in the Spinoff movie, because I really enjoyed Origins.

Are you referring to Origins, which is one of the current series where Wolverine is exploring his past,
or
Origin, where we see Wolverine as a little kid in Canada, with the girl named Rose, and later Dog, who Wolverine scarred?

Then no, it won't be based on Origin. From what I hear, it takes place 17 years before the X-Men trilogy, and it's about Wolverine going through the Weapon X program.

Barry Windsor-Smith's 'Weapon X' , originally published in 'Marvel Comics Presents' was a masterpiece. Utterly brilliant.

I like the name, and I have heard, as Majin has said, that the Magneto spin-off will also be tagged with X-Men Origins. It's just a rumour, but, if true, it'll also allow for further spin-offs focussing on other characters, but all under the same banner title.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine: Im hoping it delves further into his past...like his growing up in Alberta and hiding out with Rose in British Columbia.
X-Men Origins: Magneto: Yea it deals with his past in the concentration camps but also deals with his friendship and eventual fall out with Prof. Xavier.
X-Men Origins: Storm.... if this one is done maybe it'll be like the comics and deal with Gambit or Black Panther?
X-men Origins: White Queen. I've heard a rumour that they were thinking of making a White Queen film. Something of which is odd since she's never even been mentioned in the films. The only live action X-men film she was even in was the made for tv Generation X movie back in 1996.

Actually, in the original script for X3 Emma Frost was supposedly one of the main characters.... so goes the rumour, at least... so they may have a general direction for the character.

Gambit wasn't in Storm's origins. They didn't meet until she was turned into a child after Rogue sent everyone through the siege perilous.
I think...

More Wolverine casting. So this week they've cast Deadpool, Gambit, and Silver Fox. Now they've cast.... Beak! And who's Beak you say?? Well he's an X-Man....he's um...a bird type fellow who married Angel (um..not THAT Angel...another one) who had Fly type wings...and they had six bird type babies*she laid eggs* (of which only one retained powers on M Day, which if you don't read comics was the day when all but 400 mutants lost their powers...no thanks to Magneto's daughter going "No more mutants!"....)
Beak is played by "Lost's" Dominic Monaghan.
Now... can Dominic pull off playing a Dutch bird man?

In the theater here when "Alberta" came up on the screen in the first movie, the crowd went nuts.
And I could care less what they call the movie or whether or not Gambit is in it because HUGH JACKMAN, HUGH JACKMAN, HUGH JACKMAN! *dances*

Daniel Henney has been cast as Agent Zero (Maverick). Now the only member of Team X not cast is Mastodon.

Actor Kevin Durand has been cast as The Blob!
Meanwhile, Barnell is NOT I repeat NOT the same character as in the comics. Just somebody with a similar name. This is not Beak/Blackwing.
Barnell, a former military ally of Logan with the power to harness energy and electricity.

I'm a little glad to hear they changed the Barnell character. I couldn't see Beak fitting in to this film, and Beak was never a character I truly liked... although, I liked his stint in eXiles and the revamped "Barry" of New Warriors, alongside Angel, is interesting.
