Jessica Simpson to appear in X3

Was that supposed to be kitty? I got the idea it was Illyana, she had the ability to teleport and some of the old artwork made it look more like phasing through one thing and popping out the other. The look fit Illyana so well too. (btw, am i spellingher name right, I can't remember, Petre's sister)

I don't know. Personally, she's much lesser known than her brother Piotr, aka Cyclops (assuming that the person we've seen in X2 is playing a Russian exchange student). So I don't automatically assume it is her. Kitty Pryde is my first thought.

you mean collosus insted of cyclops? lol. Also, some would argue that kitty is just as little known as majick, specially since majick is one of the major players in what is still one of the best known x-crossovers, Inferno. ;)

Nah. Kitty's been around much longer, and has actually made it into various animated versions of the X-Men. I don't think we've ever seen Illyana outside the comics.

And it was definitely Kitty in X2. It's right there on the IMDB:

Yup Jan 1980, Uncanny X-men number 129.



Yup, and she's also in the first movie, but played by a different actress. IMDB

I'm not saying it isn't so;P Only saying that i thought it was majik, just saying that is what I thought when I saw it and so wasn't upset *then* that she was a blonde. If that was supposed to be kitty, then, yeah, I'm a bit upset cause I liked the first actress better.

BTW majik is an older character than kitty. You are right that kitty's first appearance was x-men 129 in 1980 but majik first appeared in 1975 in Giant sized x-men 1. While I agree that shadowcat is much better known today, majik was pretty well known in the day as well, especially due to Inferno and new mutants.

A few points:
  • Dazzler is one hella stupid character to begin with, although Jessica Simpson is a good choice for the role. If they can get her to dress up in that John Byrne early 80s outfit she was first introduced in, it'd play up as a really campy comedy moment. I could dig that.
  • Gambit was always a really over-rated character to me. He never really did anything interesting that I recall. Frankly, the cast of the X-Men movies is already excessive, bordering on unmanageable. We really don't need to go introducing new characters anymore.
  • Colossus' cameo = da bomb. I've always loved Colossus. I wanna see more of him.
  • Umm, getting upset because they changed actresses for an extremely minor character that didn't even have any dialogue (that I remember anyway)? Dude, that's pretty hardcore.
  • The Phoenix Saga is one of the classic storylines of the entire superhero genre. How can it not be told with the set-up they've now done? Plus, who doesn't want to see Famke Jannsen again?

A wise man this one.
 

Gambit was only meant as a hipper-younger Wolverine. If we already have
Wolverine, what do we need Gambit for? If Jackman ever drops out and they
still want to make a new X-movie, *then* they could *maybe* add Gambit.

But only a maybe.
