He was the "Hank McCoy" guy you see in the bar, IIRC.

What a fricken amazing movie. I can't say its better than Spider-Man, but I've got too much attachment to Spider-Man to judge objectively. Though I could see hwo an objective person could rank X2 as the best comic movie of all time.
Us fans all want to see more and more characters in the movie, but its frankly getting really crowded. I hear Collossus (the guy whose skin turned to metal) will have a bigger part in the next movie. I of course would love to see Gambit and Beast and Angel and Cable and god knows who else in it too, and if they do as many sequels as Brian Singer has suggested they'll have time, but it'll have to be at the expense of current characters. You simply can't fit that many people into one movie. But we'll all be teased for years to come with a multitude of cameos and teasers from all the different mutants.
In the forums at SuperheroHype.com fans are suggesting they may include the Hellfire Club and Sentinels. (in addition to phoenix of course).
Also, it has been posited that Singer will skip the intergalactic, alien component to the Phoenix Saga because he is intent on keeping things realistic and believable. He probably will just have phoenix be a new manifestation of her powers or something. Works for me.Captain of Team Apolyton - ISDG 2012

The original Beast from like the 60s was a stocky human looking person. Wasn't all blue and furry as he became later. I don't know when the switch came in the comics, but he started out looking fairly normal, and thats what he was on TV. Actually, if i recall (and i may be imagining this) didn't they mention Dr. McCoy in the first movie? Like during the Senate testimony? I forget.Originally posted by dejon
Really? Was he the big guy whose chest deflected bullets in the school raid? I wondered if that was him... I never read the comics, so my only visualization of Beast is from the cartoon - a stocky blue beast, and he didn't quite seem to fit.Captain of Team Apolyton - ISDG 2012

OzzyKP:
Thanks for the information!
I have avoided SuperheroHype.com, as they don't seem to have much regard for anyone who hasn't read the comics.
With all these characters, there is great potential for many more movies. The makers of the Batman movies had hoped for a long run too though, and shot themselves in the foot with bad casting, poor scripts, etc. Let's hope the same thing doesn't happen.Comment

Beast started out as a large footed/handed stocky normal guy but in an effort to remove his mutant powers IIRC, he turned himself into a blue, furry guy.
The message kids? Be happy the way you are.
And don't play with your DNA.Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

the beast from the cartoon was the later form of the beast in the book.
dr hank mccoy is the beast, but he starts off looking like a normal person, before having his dna tinkered with.
remy lebeau (gambit) is the name right above eric lensherr's when mystique first manages to hack into yuriko's computer. (did anyone else notice she wasn't referred to as lady deathstrike in the dialogue at all?)
the boy who sticks his tongue out twice? i suspect he's the leech... a) the beastly tongue, and b) his name is artie... which isn't that common.
the boy who changes channels by blinking--i think he's the same kid we saw teleporting in basketball in the first movie.
the young asian girl captured is most likely jubilee... why didn't she try using her powers to make a flare?
we saw kitty pride again, and the screaming girl i can't recall her name, but she's also from the comic strip.
i suspect that jason, the illusionist, is supposed to be mastermind...
colossus was cool, but he disappointed me a bit-- no russian accent.
===
and it's too bad the cold war is over, because i think it'd be cool to have omega red in one of the next ones.

Project Wideawake was referenced. That's the code name for the Sentinels.

If you watch the first X-Men with the audio commentary on, the director (Singer) mentions that some girl that is sitting in one of the classroom scenes is actually Jubilee. So the girl you saw may have actually been her.Originally posted by Q Cubed
the young asian girl captured is most likely jubilee... why didn't she try using her powers to make a flare?
Also, the first audio commentary mentions that you can see Colossus drawing a picture for about half a second in the basketball scene, and, AFAIK, it is the same actor who portrays him in the new movie.http://monkspider.blogspot.com/Comment

I thought the movie was ok, but for antagonists Stryker was pretty lame. You know that he's going to lose since he didn't have any Sentinels on his side, I think the movie was lopsided.
I liked Lady Deathstrike (Kelly Hu!!
Go Hawaii ppl! ) But the movie wasn't as good as the first, but was still kick butt.
Anyway, I've heard that they're thinking of making a Fantastic Four movie. This this true? If it is, I'm hoping the main villain is Dr. Doom!

He was a very powerful (read: omnipotent) mutant until he lost his powers. Who did you think was responsible for the Heroes Reborn episode?But Franklin Richards isn't a mutant.I make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara
