X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST WILL BE AZAZEL-less :(



Bleeding Cool favourite Jason Flemyng gave an interview to an Irish newspaper over a week ago in which he made it pretty clear that he won’t be in the next X-Men movie.

I don’t think I will be back. Initially I was gutted, but then, I remembered I had to get up at two in the morning, I had to be painted red and be slightly out of focus and posed a lot, and that was sort of it. Now I don’t have to do that.

Nope, he can be unpainted, in focus and do more than pose in some other film instead. Hopefully.

I should have spotted that interview. Would have stopped me writing that last thing about Azazel that I did. Anyhow, thanks to IGN for the heads up..




Bryan Singer Shows Off X-Men: Days Of Future Past’s Cast – Including Some Surprises – TWO UPDATES


X-Men: Days of Future Past director Bryan Singer is back on Twitter today, revealing a production office wall of actors' headshots. As you can see below, there's quite a few familiar faces, a few surprises and what appears to be six empty slots. Of those faces, the final three have not yet been announced and the first appears to be that of Daniel Cudmore, who played Colossus in X2 and X-Men: The Last Stand. We'll have updates on the other two faces as soon as they can be confirmed.

Scheduled for release on July 18, 2014, X-Men: Days of Future Past features a script by Simon Kinberg and is said to be inspired Chris Claremont and John Byrne's comic book storyline that ran in "Uncanny X-Men" #141 and 142 back in 1981. "Days of Future Past" introduced the idea of an alternate future for Marvel's mutants that grew out of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants killing an important senator, leading to a future where all mutants are hunted by Sentinels.

Cast members confirmed for the film include Hugh Jackman, Anna Paquin, Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, Nicholas Hoult, Ellen Page, Shawn Ashmore, Peter Dinklage, Omar Sy and Halle Berry.

What a waste of a fantastic character with so much potential only to be squandered and tossed aside. If they don't know what to do with a great character like Azazel then they should just leave him alone. This bit really pisses me off!

Yet I'm EXCITED for the inclusion of Colossus eventhough he'll be a bit role as usual, just glad to see Cudmore brought back.

Only semi-related but Shawn Ashmore's chihuahua was attacked by an unleashed dog in a park today and is currently in critical condition. :(
setsuna16 16th-Mar-2013 02:50 am (UTC)
I hope the doggy makes it!
vehiclesshockme 16th-Mar-2013 02:54 am (UTC)
Same.
cricketgrl 16th-Mar-2013 02:53 am (UTC)
I get so infuriated by careless, irresponsible dog owners. Here in LA I've seen so many little dogs and other animals attacked. Dogs are unpredictable and some dog owners just don't give a shit.
anus 16th-Mar-2013 02:57 am (UTC)
I can't even imagine witnessing my dog getting brutally attacked. It makes me want to cry ;_;
foxhound 16th-Mar-2013 04:07 am (UTC)
That's horrible. Fucking shitty owners. :(
foofighter0234 17th-Mar-2013 02:39 am (UTC)
:( Poor puppy! I'll pray for it tonight.
jackiemust_die 16th-Mar-2013 02:46 am (UTC)
YES OMG COLOSSUS
nymphadoratonks 16th-Mar-2013 02:49 am (UTC)
that is terrible news. the first one gave me a lot of hope for some nightcrawler aspect in the sequel :|
jackiemust_die 16th-Mar-2013 02:54 am (UTC)
:/
Nightcrawler was one of the best things about X2
cricketgrl 16th-Mar-2013 03:04 am (UTC)
I'm still sooooo steamed about it!! :(
shining_starsxx 16th-Mar-2013 03:16 am (UTC)
That's why I'm upset. That and Halle Berry as Storm again.
nymphadoratonks 16th-Mar-2013 03:16 am (UTC)
iman will always be my storm
war_machine_rox 16th-Mar-2013 02:50 am (UTC)
he was the only thing that kept me mildly interested during First Class.

well then. There goes that. :/

but yay Colossus. I still yell at the movie when Wolverine refuses his help in X2.

Okay so there's good enough reason, protect the kids blah blah blah but come on now.

setsuna16 16th-Mar-2013 02:51 am (UTC)
We cheered like crazy fucks during that sequence at the midnight showing of X2.

God, that was almost 11 years ago.

Fuck, I'm old.
war_machine_rox 16th-Mar-2013 02:56 am (UTC)
11 years? holy shit thanks for that :/

But yeah omg the theater was wild during this whole scene.

lothlorienbow 16th-Mar-2013 03:43 am (UTC)
Lol I remember going to see this on prom night by myself. I was forever alone even back then...

But then I ran into some friends from a different high school who were going to see the second(?) Matrix and snuck in and saw that movie with them.
anna_darkholme 16th-Mar-2013 05:01 am (UTC)
god how depressing.

I remember going to see X2 the night it released. Still my favorite movie ever
cricketgrl 16th-Mar-2013 02:54 am (UTC)
I want the X2 effects because in TLS the FX were terrible.
setsuna16 16th-Mar-2013 02:50 am (UTC)
Let's be real, Azazeal shouldn't even exist in any shape or form.

The Draco is GOD AWFUL.
snapiphany 16th-Mar-2013 02:51 am (UTC)
I hated his hair in that film. That's the result you'd get if you put Barbie's head in the microwave for 20 seconds.
virgo7598 16th-Mar-2013 02:53 am (UTC)
Really sad that I know this...but is that Boo Boo Stewarts headshot in the space between Halle and Peter?
bagelsvswaffles 16th-Mar-2013 02:55 am (UTC)
Apparently. Thunderbird, maybe?
diamond_dust06 16th-Mar-2013 03:05 pm (UTC)
Oh good, another PoC to kill off in the first half hour.
psubookworm27 16th-Mar-2013 03:33 am (UTC)
WHAT?



NO NO NO NO NONOOOOOOOOOO.
psubookworm27 16th-Mar-2013 03:33 am (UTC)
also, I'm judging you Henry.
scottfreein4_d 16th-Mar-2013 03:00 am (UTC)
What a waste of a fantastic character
cricketgrl 16th-Mar-2013 03:02 am (UTC)
You could add Emma to that list too.
scottfreein4_d 16th-Mar-2013 03:08 am (UTC)
Emma actually is a fantastic character tho...
bagelsvswaffles 16th-Mar-2013 03:00 am (UTC)
I'm not too upset about this. I do hope they show Mystique abandoning a baby Nightcrawler, though. It'd fit because it'd show the relationship between mutants/humans now that they're out in the public. Show her being chased and then she puts him on a circus train or something. It'd be good motivation for Mystique as well. She'd have an even bigger reason to hate humans after that.
cricketgrl 16th-Mar-2013 03:03 am (UTC)
I'm thinking Singer is retconning by having Beast as the father of Kurt instead of Azazel.
bagelsvswaffles 16th-Mar-2013 03:07 am (UTC)
I doubt it. This movie takes place, like, 10 years later. That's more than enough time for her to get pregnant and abandon Nightcrawler. If she's already pregnant or had him, Azazel isn't necessary.
war_machine_rox 16th-Mar-2013 03:08 am (UTC)
blegh

but where will the teleportation come from?


Idek why I'm asking that question. It's going to be a lame excuse he puts out.
starchain 16th-Mar-2013 03:12 am (UTC)
I will kill someone.
(Now that you mention, it makes sense)
starchain 16th-Mar-2013 03:10 am (UTC)
They took Rogue away from Mystique and that's her most redeeming relationship so I have no hope with what they're gonna do with her.
paquin 16th-Mar-2013 03:04 am (UTC)
the girl under hoult's photo is fan bingbing and it was confirmed she'll be playing blink. i'm glad that cudmore is back.
cricketgrl 16th-Mar-2013 03:09 am (UTC)
I haven't seen you around in forever! Are you still running the Anna site?
paquin 16th-Mar-2013 03:13 am (UTC)
i lurk most of the time, but i do pop in every now and then. yes, i am!
kairoso 16th-Mar-2013 03:17 am (UTC)
omg yess i love fan bing bing and love that she's transitioning to hollywood
shining_starsxx 16th-Mar-2013 03:21 am (UTC)
She's in this? Now I have to watch.
shining_starsxx 16th-Mar-2013 03:07 am (UTC)
Well fuck this movie then.
psubookworm27 16th-Mar-2013 03:41 am (UTC)
I feel this way every time I hear a casting announcement.
starchain 16th-Mar-2013 03:07 am (UTC)


Why do these people hate me so much?
zoaster_toaster 16th-Mar-2013 03:09 am (UTC)
His character was kinda useless in XMFC so I won't totally miss him.
safaiagem 16th-Mar-2013 03:10 am (UTC)
jfc I will choke someone if they fuck this up.
mctor 16th-Mar-2013 03:16 am (UTC)
YES COLOSSUS!

As much as I think this movie is going to be a mess, I still get really excited when they announce people returning.

OT but still Marvel related...
The Wolverine trailer is taking forever to be released. I know it's coming this month but I hate fucking waiting. I'm excited to see what it looks like
bagelsvswaffles 16th-Mar-2013 03:19 am (UTC)
I am so happy the cast list isn't full of random characters that don't need to be there. Hopefully that remains true in the actual movie.
mctor 16th-Mar-2013 03:28 am (UTC)
MTE
cricketgrl 16th-Mar-2013 03:26 am (UTC)
I'm excited for this production because I firmly believe this will be broken up in to a couple of films instead of one.

I think the Wolverine film is going to be a mess. They seem to be going the opposite way by having it more gritty but I the Mariko Chronicles have always been the most dullest of Wolverine's adventures. Uncanny X-Men 173 only kept me interested because Rogue was involved. Other than that I didn't get much out of the storyline.
