X-Men 3!
From Greg Cassivan;s Movie Preview on Yahoo dot com.
"Villain Notes: (4/13/05) Up until now, there really hasn't been much word about what new villains may show up in this movie. Magneto and his crew (Mystique, etc.) are sure things in some capacity, and the ending of the second movie clued us in that Dark Phoenix (AKA Jean Grey) will probably be included as well. Now, however, emerging rumors/reports covered by both AICN suggest that Brit tough guy actor Vinnie Jones is in talks to play a new villain, and that villain will be... the Juggernaut. See my commentary to the right for more details on ol' Juggy."
Juggernaut?!?! Fucking awesome!!!
(12/23/03) Talking recently to Dark Horizons, producer Lauren Shuler-Donner confirmed that Beast is a strong possibility for this third movie, and threatened that she might also push to include Gambit. I say threaten, because I am among that vocal portion of the fanbase that is rabidly anti-Gambit. Whereas most of the X-Men characters thus far adapted for the movies are cool, Gambit is "kewl" and "kewlness" sucks. He's a relic of a dark time in comic book history when style was valued over substance, and probably the character that most singularly divides fans into two camps: the Gambit fans and those Gambit bugs. I would pity any actor who ends up playing Gambit; the down side is potentially huge... even if you please the Gambit fans, you still have to deal with all of the people who think the character just plain sucks.
GO FUCK YOURSELF Lauren Shuler-Donner!!!!!
New Mutant Notes: (6/2/03) In a special screening of X-Men in Los Angeles the week before the release of X2, screenwriter David Hayter revealed that the character most likely to be introduced in this third movie is original X-Man Dr. Hank McCoy, AKA The Beast. What is unclear is whether the same actor who had a small cameo as McCoy, Steve Bacic, would return in the role, or if Fox would seek someone a bit more famous. Of course, if Dr. McCoy has already evolved into the blue-furred version of Beast by the time of this movie, that problem may solve itself. Other likely candidates that have been mentioned or rumored for either 'X2' or 'X3' in recent years are original X-Man Warren Worthington III (AKA 'Angel') and Remy LeBeau (AKA 'Gambit'). In that same talk, Hayter said that he doubted Gambit would ever have more than a small role because he's too similar to both Cyclops (powers-wise) and Wolverine (personality-wise).
Fuck you, David Hayter! He is NOT like Cyclopse and Wolverwine, they are three completely different characters. And you were in the fucking show! How shameful. Oops, too bad you're not on X3 anymore and this entire statement is thrown out the window...
AND IT'S OFFICIAL, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN...
(3/24/05) The three X-Men that are now confirmed as appearing in this movie as new characters in some capacity are Angel, The Beast (who will be played by a new actor) and Gambit.
GAMBIT!!!!!! It's about fucking time!!! This movie will own.
