The more I see the size and diversity of the cast involved in this “Wolverine” movie, the more I’m thinking it will turn out to be shite. Beak? Really?

Aw, I really liked Beak. That’s cool I guess that he’s going to be in Wolverine…I guess…

…god I’m tired of Wolverine.

Yay! Beak!

All we need now is Ugly John, and we got ourselves an movie!

Oh, and Thunderbolt Ross.

And Nick Fury.

And Tony Stark.

And Shemp Howard.

And Tom Green.

And Andy Sugden.

And Leslie Neilsen as John Diefenbaker.

…what?

//\Oo/\\

I don’t see the problem with these additions. If they’re doing a movie about Wolverine being involved in Weapon X, then it makes sense that there are going to be lots of mutants involved that the program is experimenting on. Beak’s not such an established character that he can’t be refit to that purpose, and it drives home the point that, whether he likes to or not, Wolverine always ends up helping that not as powerful as him. Beaks the perfect type of character to make Logan realize that things are wrong, weak mutants are being victimized, and he has to do something about it.

I agree but I hope they relax with adding anymore characters or this will turn to crap. here’s to hoping

I don’t think it will be Beak though. Maybe they’ll use the same name of Barnell but this is not Beak unless I missed something.

“Monaghan will play Barnell, a mysterious character from Wolverine’s past who has the ability to manipulate energy and electricity.”

Oh fuck me.

The reports on this movie get worse each and every day.

I am officially going on a media black out and will wait for the trailer

I’m actually more confused by the casting of Daniel Henney. Agent Zero/Maverick is supposed to be an east german freedom fighter, and he’s being played by an asian man.

I’m fine with diversity, but c’mon, that was the only thing that made Maverick INTERESTING.

In yesterday’s press release, didn’t someone make a joke about “Where’s Maverick”? lol This is nuts…I get the sensation of a “Batman and Robin” happening.

1. There was no way that a Wolverine solo movie was ever going to be anything other than crap, just like all Wolverine solo comics after the first mini years ago. This would actually be better if they dropped Wolvie and just did a “third string mutants” flick.
2. While I was initially surprised by all these characters being loaded onto a Wolverine movie, I then realized this was not such a bad thing, as it would dilute the general level of Wolverine-presence in the film.
3. I’m actually quite happy with getting to see characters like Deadpool and Beak, you know, when I see this on DVD much later on, preferably having tricked a friend into renting it. What? In the theatre? As if.
4. Gambit? Nooooooo! Just pray it falls through like it did in X3.
5. Liev Schreiber as Sabretooth? Really? I mean, he’s a fine actor and all, it just seems like perplexing casting.

Ah, I don’t mind Wolvie all that much, as long as he’s used as a part-of-an-ensemble character and not a solo megastar. I’ve enjoyed plenty of comics with him _in_ them, but I won’t touch any of his solo titles.
Gambit, however, doesn’t just need to be killed off, but retconned into never having existed.
By the way, I’m just giving an opinion here, you’ve really got no basis for the “take a breath” stuff unless I load up on capslocks and multiple exclamation points.

Oh, and “Ed” there IS a basis for having things thrown at you such as earlier posts. You said the movie is going to suck, therefore, I must ask, have you seen it yet? Is it any good? I mean, after all, I couldn’t say if a movie sucked or not until it’s been released. You remind me of those idiots who try too hard to stand out by saying Cloverfield sucked before they even saw it (if they even did that is). So why don’t you do us all a favor and continue your negetaive email campaign against James Cameron for killing Jack in Titanic and be done with it okay?

@WolvieExpert

You can tell a movie/book/comic is going to suck without having seen it.

For example, you could easily tell Wolverine would suck if saw, Tom Cruise or John Travolta was playing Wolverine. Or if Spider-man was played by Will Smith. Or if Superman was played by Rob Schneider. Mm?

Wolvie eXpert:
I’ve stood up elsewhere against people prejudging Cloverfield and other things. Don’t make assumptions about people you don’t know. Where does that Cameron thing even come from?
In this case, I have a very solid basis for being able to determine that this will suck: it’s a Wolverine solo movie. Read what I said above about Wolvie in an ensemble like the X-Men vs. solo. No Wolvie solo comic book series since the first mini has been any damn good at all. There’s an infinitismal chance that a movie could escape the pressures of history and be OK, but the chance is something like a 0.00001% possibility.
Also, take an English class.

And thank god, somebody mentioned the butchered grammar going down here. I’ve seen better structured grammar on Sprnger.

warm up the ski-boat, because Wolverine is on the brink of jumping the shark-or has that already happened while I was watching the Spider-Man franchise spiral downward?
