Wondering if they'll do something like the Wolverine and the X-Men cartoon: prevent the DOFP future but somehow cause AoA in its stead. If this DOFP movie is the middle of a trilogy, would be a nice, dark Empiresque ending.

If Marvel wanted to make a Captain Britain movie (not likely, I'll grant) would they be able to use Psylocke?

I somehow doubt Psylocke is among the handful of characters, like Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, that was included in rights with MCU and X-Men rights. She made a minor appearance in X3 so she's probably firmly stuck over there unless Marvel/Disney wants to bargain for her.

Haha a captain Britain movie would rule. They could pair that with a Moon Knight movie (he is French, non?) to work up to the Eurovengers.

Was that girl ever referred to as Psylocke in the movie? I know it was in the credits but the character in the movie had nothing to do with the character in the comics (which could be said about every non X-Men mutants in the movies).

She was asian, had purple hair and could teleport through shadows so it was her though never mentioned by name. Though all that said I wouldn't be surprised if Singer decided to reintroduce her in what I presume will be an Age of Apocalypse type story.

Thinking about it, maybe it's Fox who has the Captain Britain film rights instead of Marvel. For large parts of his history he's been with X-Men related characters and most of his supporting cast including his sister, brother and wife are mutants.

Whether or not she was mentioned by name in X3, she was in the movie. Fox has the rights, without question. It probably means they have Quentin Quire as well

Mostly I'd like to see it because I think Jared Harris could play Mad Jim Jaspers. I guess someone like Benedict Cumberbatch could play Captain British. I seems like he'd have the prerequisite stiff upper lippedness. Perhaps they could get away with having Psylocke in the movie but never calling her Psylocke? She was only ever Betsy or Elizabeth in the original Captain Britain comics, as I recall.

I wonder if they'll bring back Ben Foster to play Archangel, recast him or leave out the character. He's a pretty important inclusion when dealing with Apocalypse.

Over every other joke casting The Rock as Apocalypse would be great if and only if they make Scorpion King canon.

Haha, I hope this isn't true because it sounds terrible. Potential (probably, hopefully fake) spoilers ahead. http://www.firstshowing.net/2013/exclusive-how-x-men-days-of-future-past-teases-x-men-apocalypse/

He was completely pointless in The Last Stand though. Not completely pointless. He was this guy with a major deformity (wings) and was pressured to get himself "fixed", but by embracing his otherness discovered it was actually a thing of beauty and inspired hope. If anything that was the most Singer-like thing in there.

Couldn't a Captain Britain film use the original pre-merger persona of Betsy Braddock and not the purple-haired anime fantasy doll without getting in trouble?

Yeah, I'm inclined to assume they could use her if she's only called Betsy Braddock, because as far as I'm aware she wasn't called Psylocke until Claremont decided to the put her in the X-Men. She still had purple hair before that, though.

That whole thing with Psylocke always struck me as one of those weird, creepy things that you'd have expected another writer to come in and retcon or otherwise write out and return things to normal. And then it never happened and now the way it is is normal.

She still had purple hair before that, though. even if Fox has the rights to "Betsy Braddock" or even 'Elisabeth Braddock" for some reason, it seems like Marvel/Disney should be able to just give Brian the same sister and change her first name. Maybe call her Liz. Aesthetic distinctiveness are important in copyright law. It's a lot harder to make a copyright claim stick to "British lady" than it is to make one stick to "ninja in a purple unitard". Don't see what grounds Fox could have to object PupsOfWar fucked around with this message at 03:02 on Dec 7, 2013 |
