When X2 came out the papers made a big deal about how the "older" stars Wolverine, Jean Gray, Storm, and Cyclops were all signed on for 2 movie deals and that the newer or younger cast members had been signed to do 3 movies. (Iceman and Rogue) and the new ones from X2 were also signed for X3. Nightcrawler, Colossus, etc. Famke would obviously have to be Pheonix now after the way X2 ended. Personally I think if they don't have Wolverine and Cyclops along with at least one of the women it will be pretty lame. Jr. X-Men doesn't really float my boat.

I'm beginning to prefer Hugh more and more to be the next Bond, as long as he buffs up for the role as opposed to being skinny like in some films. To quote our governor..."girly man". :)

They could find replacements for those characters though if they were determined to do X-Men 3, and they didn't have everyone on the principal cast returning. Whether that would work or not I'm not sure, due to the fact that those are of course some prominent roles.

Ha, only Ahnold.

From Empire Online yesterday:

Indeed, X3 may not be all that cut and dried. Many of the actors in the cast

Since Storm is pretty much an afterthought in the movies anyway it won't matter all that much if Halle doesn't come back. There are so many characters that none of them get enough screen time in the movies except Wolverine and Rogue. For some reason their storylines worked out just right. I'd like to see a bit more of everyone else in action. Especially Famke.

x-men 3 is still set for release in may 2006, now with a different director, however, i dont know if the cast will return without singer.  Therefore it maybe postponed, it may be scrapped, or it may continue with a different crew like batman. anyways, so far, jackman is still set to do x-men.

Is he still legally contracted to do so, Hoodman22? Or is it just that he looks to be returning for the role if X-Men 3 occurs. (I haven't followed Jackman lately.)

he did look to be returning to the role, but now that singer left, i dont know. i just hope owen gets the role

I'd much rather see X-3 in 2006 than another Superman movie. Yawn. :) But I want Spiderman 3 to come out in 2006 so maybe it's good news afterall becuz can Spidey and X-men come out the same summer? Didn't work out for the Hulk...


Anyway, Jackman or Owen are preferable as Bond than another Brosnan(aging) sleep through. :)

Indeed. Much rather see Spiderman 3 than an X-Men or Superman sequel. They've set it up for such a good one.

So I've heard. Kirsten Dunst, I recall mentioning something to the effect of they're very excited for this third film. At the mentioning of another, I believe she said it was a possibility, but to wait 'til the third comes first.

from what i've heard, sam raimi and the cast want to do three movies, while the producers want to do six, so they may continue with a different cast and crew

That I did not hear, thank you! I guess I can see the logic in both. Three is usually a good number to insure the films don't get repetitive or overdone. While 6 shows the obvious availability of villains and plots to use for them.

I hope they continue after 3, it's such a fun series.
