Finally!
After years and years of nonsense and back and forth the Marvel
cinematic universe is in the hands of Disney. It cost $52 billion
which sounds like a shit ton, because, well, it is, but think of the
future bank that can be made by having these movies under one
umbrella instead of in Fox's hands. Reports stated that Fox wanted to
focus more on news and sports which are two things I do not give a
damn about. This means that things like X-Men, Deadpool, and
Fantastic Four can now get a proper movie. In case you've forgotten
there have been four films made in three different ways.
This
got me into some hopeful and nerdy ass thinking. Does this mean that
we'll be able to get a decent X-Men movie? Yeah, I know some of you
have liked them but to me they are ass garbage and I would love for
them to reboot the series. Like, a complete reboot. I do not want a
single person associated with the previous movies near these. I don't
want to pretend that I have to know that this may be a different
universe (thanks, Logan).
I have
made a list featuring my own version of what I'd like to see in a new
series of X-Men films. The actors are for the most part under 30
years old and I am wanting it to be based closer to the old comic
books before everything got so goddamn dark. You will notice some
characters missing and that is because I want to use just the base
team to start with and in possible sequels add more mutants.
Daniel
Radcliffe as Wolverine. I know some people are already baffled.
“Harry Potter is only 5 foot 5! He is too short to play Wolverine!”
Actually, at his height he is two inches too tall to play Wolverine.
Don't let Hugh Jackman fool you. He was a foot taller than Wolverine
in the comics. That was one of the cool things about him. He was so
small but one of the most deadly characters in the comic. I wouldn't
even bring him into the story until damn near the end of the movie
because I want a strong showing of others first and establishing the
world that these characters live in. Which is the 1960's.
I
don't want them going into Wolverine's past. I don't wanna see him as
a kid. Nothing! I want him near the end of the movie getting his ass
kicked on his birthday. That's a thing. Every year no matter where he
is Sabretooth shows up and beats the shit out of Wolverine to show he
can. That's it. This can even be a stinger at the end of the movie. I
want Wolverine sitting in a cabin all alone surrounded by stubbed out
cigars and empty whiskey bottles. Sabretooth walks in smiling and
slowly closes the door as Wolverine's claws (ADAMANTIUM!) come out.
That's it. That is all the involvement these two have in the
beginning of this series because people still think they like Jackman
as Wolverine but what they liked was the idea of him and what he
could be which is what he eventually evolved into in Logan but to me
was too little too late.
Keke
Palmer as Storm. She is my choice until I can come up with someone
better and anyone is better than Halle Berry as Storm in previous
films or Alexandra Shipp from X-Men Apocalypse was nothing. In
the earlier X-Men films Storm was portrayed as timid and quiet, once
in a while reminding us why her name was Storm by doing things like
making it foggy. And, uh, like...electrocuting Toad.
I have
not seen much of Keke Palmer's work and really don't even know if she
has the ability to portray Storm in the way I envision but honestly
there aren't that many young, Black actresses that I know of to use.
Some of them are already in the Black Panther film or are associated
with other comic book related films and I am trying to not re-use
people. For those that do not know Storm was born to a princess that
was worshiped and had a lineage where some women were born with white
hair and blue eyes. After some shit went down she ended up back in
Africa and made it rain. Literally. What I'm saying is that she is
far more interesting than the movies have made her out to be and I'd
love to see a badass version of her in film form.
Will
Poulter as Sabretooth. I've seen this kid in a few movies and like
his look. I had no idea that he was so damned tall and that works
perfectly in terms of him being Sabretooth. I do not want the
bodysuit version of him. I want the Ultimate version for his look
with the long hair and jacket. In the movies you never got to see him
reach his full potential as a character. In the first film played by
Tyler Mane he was just a damn near mindless henchmen and in X-Men Origins played by Liev Schreiber I liked his look but they eventually
made him just seem crazy and petty. Sabretooth, for as insane as he
can be, is calculating as fuck.
I
think Poulter would be able to make this guy work and the idea of him
versus Radcliffe as Wolverine in a later film is cool to me. Even
without makeup this guy has a “Please stay the fuck away from me”
quality to his face even though by all accounts he is a swell guy.
