Hey bub, x-actly which mutants are in this Wolverine movie? (and fun with "ex" words)
I'm X-tremely X-cited. Heck, I'm X-static! And you should know X-actly what I'm talking about.
Even though I've given up on bothering with any of the television MTV is responsible for these days, I've become a habitual reader of their well-informed and lovingly written entertainment blogs. Particularly the Movies Blog and the Splash Page.
But today, they really upped their stock in the nerd hearts of us entertainment fiends by unveiling the premiere of the final trailer for X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie.
I thought it would be just another 30-second commercial short with recycled footage--but holy f-bomb! This sucker looks more and more like it's finally the X-men movie the world has so long craved. Take a gander at those Gambit and Deadpool scenes! They look x-ceedingly x-cellent. And...a guy with 'radiant' eyes?! Cyclops?! Is that you??? What are you doing in Wolverine's trailer?!
Sure, it's looked awesome in the previous trailers we've seen (and we've seen quite a few)--but this new behemoth of a sneak-peak has sent our heads rolling. Frankly, it seems we got more mutants and X-men in this sucker than we saw in the original X-Men trilogy! And it's all those rad mutants that weren't in those first round of compromised X-Men movies.
Let's do the roll call based on what we've seen in trailers so far. Here are the mutants who appear to be in this Wolvie movie.
Wolverine--um, duh.
Victor Creed/Sabertooth--And he doesn't look like a blumbering idiot for once. I'm impressed.
Gambit--sure to be a screen stealer, particularly since he never showed up in the original X-Men flicks.
Deadpool (and/or Weapon XI)--another sure-to-be scene stealer. And if that fugly looking red dude in this trailer is Deadpool after he gets all nastied up, well, this movie is gonna be The Dark Knight of X-men movies, no doubt. (Or maybe the nasty looking foe is not Deadpool, but the mysterious Weapon XI. OR! Perhaps...Weapon XI IS Deadpool???)
Cyclops...wait, what did you just say?--That's right. I don't know many other dudes who wear red shades to cover up a set of shiny, nuked out pupils. A pleasant surprise, though I'm guessing he doesn't run into Wolvie (just S-Tooth).
Charlie from Lost!--Well, I don't think I've seen him in the trailers or in any pictures, but Dominic Monaghan (see also, the hobbit I look most like) has been confirmed to play some muto-chump named Barnell Bohusk.
The Blob--Speaking of Lost, you remember that a-hole Keamy who shot our beloved Alex dead? Well he's gone Eddie Murphy and become a mutant now--a big, disgusting, blubbering one who seems to have a fancy for boxing. Yeah, that big guy in the previously seen trailers is actually the same actor.
Emma Frost--w00t!
Will.I.Am.--never thought I'd see a Black Eyed Pea in an X-men movie, but stranger things have happened. Here he's Kestral, which makes him like Nightcrawler--but without the ugly blue face and tail.
Storm?--we've seen a toddler Storm in the first trailer, but it sounds as if her scene was pulled from the final cut.
More?--And with all the mutants that Wolvie seems to be freeing in this movie, I'd say we can expect a few more morsels of cameos & fan favs here and there. Is it too much of a stretch to think we'll even see a Captain America appearence in one of these wars that Logan fights in?
For pictures of some of these jokers--cheers.
X-Men: Wolverine hits theaters May 1. Get X-cited.
And while we're on the subject, any other good "ex" words where we can sub in an "x" while talking about this movie? x-ceptional? x-animate? x-orsism? x-cept?
