Part III - Addendum: O.K. Maybe I missed this but…

Check it out!

The trailers for the new X-Men are out!

Wow. That...looks pretty good. The visuals do certainly.

O.K., so they got Hank and they got Warren…though it looks like they placed a generation between the two. And did they just make Avalanche a chick? And was that Juggernaut chasing Kitty through the walls of the mansion? And who’s the kid with the spikes? And the mutant who is the “source” for that matter? I'm really hoping in that crowd the audience get to run into the New Mutants. Espcially Dani and Sam, who really never got their due as probably the most unusual leadership paring ever created for a series.

In the book, the guy who created a “cure” to suppress the X-Gene was a guy, Forge, a Native American and a mutant whose ability was to instantly comprehend and build any machine he could imagine. The cure was a ray (this was back in the day) and they originally went after Rogue (who was wanted by the FBI) with it, but they accidentally shot Storm. Forge and Storm had this on again off again thing for a while and the Inhibitor turned out to only work temporarily, though for a long time.

Looks like they really changed the story up. I have some reservations about the director and I really hope they write Hank well.

I wonder if they are going to play out the entire Dark Phoenix Saga or just start it? It looks like they are just starting it, which would be infinitely cool.
