Boy, I'd like to see that! :]

A very dark sense of humor at your expense.

X2 pretty much killed me when they switched actress for the role of Kitty Pryde.
 

Going to have to put my two cents in here Nightwalker, sorry, lol

I liked dazzler and longshot both, although I did prefer both of them when they teamed up with lila and went their own way. Still think dazzler had one of the best xm cards ever of her in that blue suit with the short hair.

I don't really care for Gambit, the more I read him and see him the more I think he was just fan service and nothing more. He had promise but for so long they just completely ignored it and played up on his don juan/anti-wolvie aspect. I would rather see them bring dazzler, or heck, even sunfire into the movie than gambit.

I know I know, I just committed blasphemy, sorry.

ps. I think JS could do a decent dazzler and make it look believable.
 

As long as we're throwing in our 2 cents, the X-Man I want to see most up there is Colossus. His cameo in X2 was fantastic, so let's upgrade him to a full member! And I'd like to see a cameo of the Angel. Those two X-Men translate really well to the big screen (as long as it's done right).

As for Dazzler, I like her well enough, and Jessica Simpson is a great choice to play her.
 


God help me, I'm about to defend Jessica Simpson. :)

If there were a Dazzler role cast, she would be a natural for it. I wouldn't have a problem with seeing her in the role.

Secondly, Simpson is not as ignorant as she's played up to be; pop culture wants to see pretty young blondes, and that's what they're given. (She's not very attractive to me, but to many perople she is). She's smart enough, on the other hand, to parley that resource into serious bucks and prestige. She makes money on her singing, but likely she makes MORE money on her endorsements.

Finally, everybody who is in their early 20's is young and naive, moreso if they have been living at home prior to being out in the world. She and her husband were married young, and newlyweds are going to have some funky conversations. Take their show, and put two average people their age into the same roles, and I'd bet you'd have pretty similar situations. The only difference is that they are pretty to look at. :)

Then, there's the novelty of the whole Jessica Simpson thing - she's a celebrity who's sleeping with the person she's married to. Who'da thunk it? ;)
 

Personally, I'd rather see Michelle Pfeiffer (sang on Grease 2 and The Fabulous Baker Boys), but she would be too old for the role.

Hillary Duff is too young.

Lindsey Lohan have yet to show she got a set of pipes.

Britney Spears? So 1990's.

Christina Aguilera? Despite she's out of her "skank stripper" phase, it still follow her.

Leanne Rimes? Doesn't fit the lounge singer role, and Dazzler isn't into country music.

Dazzler will kill the xmen for me. I cannot stand that character.. It's just one of those things in the comic world that should never have been.
I say we have a pyro vs Iceman match fianally!
The fan-boy in me also asks that we see Gambit. But I can wait on that.

Eh...personal preferences to characters. I liked the Dazzler/Longshot storyline that precedded the "Fall of the Mutants" back in the 90s. I think Simpson could pull off such a role if it was a secondary character. I had no idea who Hugh Jackman was before X-Men 1 and now I am hard pressed to think of who could do the role better.

Gambit on the other hand...meh. I have no love for the character so I could care less if he made it in or not. I suspect somewhere down the line though he will pop up. Now Colossus...there's a character we need to see more of.

I will agree with the Pyro/Iceman conflict - there some nice symbolism there and they have already established a little bit of history for them.

How 'bout Anne Hathaway? She's proved that she has a more than decent voice.

And just how young is 'too young' for this role? When I first saw Xmen, I thought that Rogue was too young, but look how well that turned out. They are making a ton of the characters into younger roles. Not that I want Hilary Duff for the role. (Please shoot me now if she is even considered for the part)
But I don't think that her age is that big of a problem.

Technically, anyone who hasn't gone through puberty yet...

But probaly anyone 16 or younger... Proably 18 or younger judging by the ages of the rest of the actiors.

Any new unestablished mutant on the run should be played by a younger actor/actress Hilary Duff wouldn't be to horrible either. :)
