PROFESSOR X
MOST POWERFUL TELEPATH
Professor X is played by Patrick Stewart. As the most powerful telepath on earth, Charles Xavier has watched the mutant race be slowly hunted down. But now the time has come to lead his X-Men in their greatest battle- both in the present and the past. Charles Xavier is played by James McAvoy in his younger version.
MAGNETO
MASTER OF MAGNETISM
Magneto is played by Ian McKellen. One of the most powerful mutants on earth, the ‘master of magnetism’ was at odds with Professor X and the X-Men for decades. But with mutant annihilation on the horizon, old animosities may have to give way to new alliances. In his younger version he is played by Michael Fassbender!
WOLVERINE
READY FOR TIME TRAVEL
Wolverine is again played by Hugh Jackman. With the mutant race on the verge of extinction, Wolverine’s healing factor makes him the only X-Man capable of withstanding the rigours of time travel. He’ll have to survive long enough to complete the most important mission of his life: to go back in time to prevent a chain of events that will bring about the end of mutantkind.
ICEMAN
MASTER OF ICE
Iceman is played by Shawn Ashmore. With the ability to generate sub-freezing temperatures, Bobby Drake can create ice projectiles, ice shields, and even coat himself in a full body suit of ice armor.
BISHOP
MASTER OF ENERGY
Bishop is played by Omar Sy. With the capability to absorb and re-channel energy, Bishop provides much-needed firepower for the mutants at a time when they need it the most.
WARPATH
SUPERHUMAN STRENGTH
Warpath is played by Booboo Stewart! With his superhuman strength, heightened senses, speed, agility and stamina, Warpath is the ultimate mutant warrior.
BLINK
WARPING POWERS
Blink is played by Fan BingBing. Blink’s dimension warping powers – the ability to teleport people and objects - make her a vital member of the X-Men. But with mutant existence at stake, she won’t be able to keep them safe for much longer.
COLOSSUS
INDESTRUCTIBLE
Colossus is played by Daniel Cudmore. With his incredible strength, gargantuan size, and nearly indestructible metallic form, Colossus is an ideal defender of the mutant race.
SUNSPOT
MASTER OF SOLAR ENERGY
SunSpot is played by Adan Canto. A new mutant joining the resistance, Sunspot has the power to absorb solar energy and rechannel it for superhuman strength, flight, and infrared radiation.
MYSTIQUE
MIGHTY CHANGELING
Mystique is played by Jennifer Lawrence. Once a close friend of Professor X, Raven turned against the X-Men and took on the identity of Mystique. With the ability to assume the appearance of any person, she’s determined to protect the mutant race no matter what the cost. However, her actions may end up causing their extinction instead.
BEAST
SUPERIOR STRENGTH
Beast is played by Nicholas Hoult. A student of Charles Xavier and a brilliant scientist in his own right, his unparalleled intellect is surpassed only by his inhuman agility and superior strength.
QUICKSILVER
ULTRA FAST
"Patience isn't my strongest suit" -- hahahahahaha! I can hardly wait for this movie!
ReplyDeleteshould be very whimsical :)
DeleteI'm a bit tired of X-Men. I'm sure I'm in the minority. My hubby and kids love it though. And, I have to say, Patrick Stewart rocks (and he's handsome!)
ReplyDeleteI hear you, sister, I think I've seen only first two movies in the franchise.. I've never liked the strange casting choices for the supporting roles. Anna Paquin, Halle Berry, Elen Page... all horrid actresses....
DeleteMe thinks he's sexy too.
DeleteI know the name Halle Berry sets your teeth on edge darling.
it does, dear, it torments my soul and nerves just to hear that horrid name :)
DeleteGreat pics Dezmond !
ReplyDeleteGreetings .
they're nice, aren't they?
DeleteI've always liked the X-Men movies !
ReplyDeleteI'm ready for another one!
Wolverine and Mystique are definitively my preferred mutants ....
I love Mystique too, but when she was played by Rebecca Romijn :)
DeleteThe teaser at the end of The Wolverine movie made me smile, as did this trailer. I'm curious how they will do all this timey wimey stuff.
ReplyDeleteI've no idea, although I wouldn't mind doing some time travel myself :)
DeleteAwesome have to love me a bit of X-Men
ReplyDeleteglad you like it, Simon
DeleteIs it just me, or does Nicholas Hoult as Beast really look like Silas Weir Mitchell on Grimm? The resemblance is uncanny (yes, that is an X-Men pun).
ReplyDeleteSilas who? :) I've never watched GRIMM. He kinda looks like younger Kelsey Grammer to me here :)
DeleteI'm curious with all this timey wimey stuff too. Given what happened to Prof X in the third movie *no spoilers for those who haven't seen it*, it'll be interesting to see where they pick it up. I haven't seen the fourth yet so maybe my answers lie in that.
ReplyDeleteyou never know, you never know
DeleteDon't tell anyone darling, but I've never seen any of these movies.
ReplyDeleteno worries, dear, now only you, me and my 3 million visitors will know :PPP
DeleteOh Anne - You've not seen Wolverine with his arms all out? Ohhh, you are missing a treat.
DeleteI've never seen them either. And I don't know why not. They've got some of my fav stars in them. *shrugs*
DeleteI've tried, but they never peaked my interested for some reason. I don't generally like them superhero flicks
DeleteOh, I am wounded to hear all this talk of not seeing Wolverine in action.
DeleteInsert sad face here :-(
:)
DeleteGreat trailer. Looks like a good movie. BooBoo and Bing Bing?
ReplyDeleteI can understand BinGbING she is Asian, but I don't get BooBoo either :)
DeleteWhat a great cast of characters! Professor X sounds awesome!
ReplyDeletewe do love them professors :) Meself included :)
DeleteI love Jennifer Lawrence, so I think the Mystique costume ROCKS!
ReplyDeletemore of a body paint than a costume :)
DeleteOnly thing wrong with this post is that Wolverine has a coat on.
ReplyDelete'tis true!
DeleteQuicksilver (though by another actor) will also be in Avengers 2
ReplyDeleteyep, I wrote about it a couple of times
DeleteExcellent series of films. Excellent cast. Loved them!
