As we keep chugging along on our adventure through all sorts of comic movies, it's always nice to take a look back at time when we didn't really think that was going to be a real possibility. I mean, we had a few here and there; Marc Goldblatt's "The Punisher" in 1989 with Dolph Lundgren, Todd McFarlene's "Spawn" came to life on the screen in 1997, and even Marvel's "Blade" started it's three film run in 1998.
With production ramping up for the third installment in this new X-Men trilogy from Bryan Singer, there's been speculation over which mutants we may see in X-Men: Apocalypse. News broke recently that we'd see the younger versions of Jean Grey, Cyclops, and Storm and yesterday we found out that Nightcrawler would be joining the mix. Again its a younger version of the teleporting blue guy, as Kodi Smit-McPhee (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, ParaNorman) has been cast in the fan favorite role. X-Men: Days of Future Past saw the emergence of Quicksilver in a scene that most people call an instant classic. Will Nightcrawler get a similar treatment this time around?
Ok, so here's the 1,000th...and final, X-Men: Days of Future Past trailer to be released before the actual film does. It feels like there's been a new one almost every week for the past seven years. Could be that I've been paying extremely close attention to this film, or it could be that Fox's Marketing Department has lost their minds. Either way, it looks great (Quicksilver's silly outfit aside) and this trailer makes me really excited to see this film. I do have a fear that Bryan Singer has loaded up too many mutants for this film and there won't be enough screen time to see my favorites (GAMBIT! WHERE IS GAMBIT?!) but I'll keep the faith until I actually see the film.
