If you were making X-Men 3, who would be your main villain?

[PVnRT]

Based on IMdB, it looks like it's going to be about Phoenix (Dark Phoenix?), which is perfectly fine. (Sorry if you actually thought Jean dided, but, jeez, c'mon guys, it's based on a comic book, no one ever dies).

Who amongst these former comic book baddies would you make the next one center around if you were making the movie?

I vote for The Right, for obvious reasons, but also to see big guys in power armor with smiley faces painted on their helmets.

1. Thanks for the spoiler, Phoenix is going to be a baddie?! (link...)

Judging by this, her bust could easily be the next baddie. Just think of what Cyclops would do, starting with Wolverine... :evilgrin:

5. If you've gotten into the comics

It's not really a spoiler (neither is Nightcrawler's parentage anymore).

But, if you don't want more spoilage, I won't talk about what the Phoenix is, etc.

7. Dark Pheonix--Eeeek! No Pupils!!! I Hate That In A Chick!

I was hoping they would steer clear of the Pheonix storyline. The movie method was really lame! At least in the comic she got her suped-up juice in space on re-entry!

Hopefully they'll let Jean repose for an installment and have to deal with something easier like The Sentinels!

They may have a change of heart and bag the Pheonix thing altogether!

11. I don't know...it looks pretty cool on Storm...

2. They have to have an "uber" villian

I would like The Right more, but you gotta go with Apocalype.

After all it's mostly a kid's movie, and you can't get too deep.

Plus seeing Magneto fight with the X-Men is cool.

3. When is it set to release?

I had to explain to my Girlfriend that Jean really didn't die. She gave me the "you really are a super geek" look. :freak:

4. 2006

At least, according to all I've seen.

10. oh man

that's too long to wait.

6. The Hellfire club would be cool

if we got a nice big mutant battle. I don't think this is going to happen though because they need to keep Magneto involved.

8. Pee Wee Herman

only like in his mug shot

[Tummler]

9. Sentinels

The Hellfire Club wouldn't be bad, either.

Of course, the Hellfire Club (incl. Mastermind) were intimately involved in the original Dark Phoenix saga . . .

12. Magneto

I NEVER tire of Ian McKellen.

[Kitsune]

13. Anyone by Phoenix.

I've never been able to stand Jean Grey.

14. Kick for the Sunday morning comic book fans

:kick:

15. after we kick Rummy out with the other repukes

I'm sure he can be available! He already has a smiling minion in General Myers!
