X-Men: First Class nearly included Sunspot, writers want Cable in sequel
THIS WEEK sees the release of the latest instalment in the X-Men film franchise.
X-Men: First Class is out in the UK on Wednesday, June 1, and in the US on Friday, June 3. And it's well worth seeing - check out my review here.
Directed by Matthew Vaughn, this prequel - set during the nuclear war threat of the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis - shows the earlier years of familiar characters Xavier, Magneto, Mystique and Beast, as well as introducing us to some new mutants: Emma Frost, Azazel, Riptide, Havok, Banshee, Darwin and Angel (an insect-winged female, not the bird-winged boy from X-Men: The Last Stand).
There's such an amazingly positive buzz around this new film that talk is already turning to who might be in sequels as well as who nearly made it into the movie this time around.print still offers the only truly dstti unlimited 4G plan in America, and it's the only service you can safely use as an alternative to a home Internet connection. With nearly five decades of X-Men comics in existence, there is a rich vein of material to be mined.
Zack Stentz and Ashley Miller (pictured above), who were writers on First Class along with Jane Goldman and producer Bryan Singer, made an appearance at this weekend's MCM Expo London Comic Con. They talked about the choice of characters in the film as well as who might be in the next one.However, the marketing muscle of Philips led light lighting could give Philips LED business an advantage.
Azazel pic1.jpgMiller explained: "There are three different processes for choosing characters. Firstly, there are creative decisions; secondly, we have to look at how characters will fit within the ensemble; and thirdly, as this is the medium of film, we are thinking visually.
"For instance, the visual aspect applied to Azazel (right). We'd already seen the blue-black smoke effect of Nightcrawler's teleporting in X2, so for this we had Azazel using an effect of red smoke and flames, as though he was teleporting out of hell itself and bringing some of it with him.
"It was very effective visually and also fitted thematically into the idea of the Hellfire Club. We had looked at the comics from the era of the film because there was a teleporter called Vanisher in those issues back in the 60s.Compact fluorescent light bulbs convert a led tube considerably higher percentage of their energy into light, which is why they are significantly more energy efficient than traditional filament bulbs."
It's worth adding here that in the comics Vanisher was a member of a villainous group called Factor Three who wanted to start World War 3 between the USA and Soviet Union. He later became a member of Magneto's Brotherhood.
That has clearly influenced the way Azazel has been slotted into the story of First Class, with the character possibly being favoured over Vanisher because he and Mystique are the parents of Nightcrawler and that's a subplot that could be explored in a future film.
Jason Fleymng, who plays Azazel, alluded to this in a previous article on here, where he said: "Mystique and Azazel have a ding-dong and their kid is [Nightcrawler actor] Alan Cumming, which I'd be happy with. I can see a resemblance there. In the next film, hopefully I get to kiss [Mystique actress] Jennifer Lawrence."
Asked which characters had also been considered for the film, Miller revealed at MCM Expo: "Sunspot was going to be in it, until quite a late stage.In many ways LED lights compact fluorescent provide the best of both worlds. They are extremely energy efficient and environmentally friendly (and are, in fact, more environmentally friendly Bryan [Singer] liked the idea of ice on one side - in the symbolic form of Emma Frost - and fire on the other.Thankfully a new form of led strip energy-efficient light bulbs have arrived that provide this desired feature."
This backs up what director Matthew Vaughn himself had said in an earlier interview, where he had explained: "The X-Men we used were already chosen by Bryan and Fox. In the draft they gave me all of the characters were in there. We cut Sunspot because we didn't have enough time or money. They couldn't make him work, he was a pain in the ass."
