I spy a Bishop. My favourite X person is finally in the house of Marvel movies.

I saw him too! Bishop was always one of my favorite X-Force characters.

Looks really exciting. I like the idea of linking the two universes. I wonder how much glimpsing into the future we are gonna get to see. Will we see Apocalypse? I have always been a fan of post-apocalyptic fiction in comics, literature and gaming. And X-Men is my favorite Marvel franchise. The X-Men trilogy movies were largely meh, but First Class really brought it back and scored a home run.

I didn't get that excited to see him. The guy didn't really scream "Bishop" to me. It was more like, "hey there's the only black guy in the trailer, that must be Bishop". But it's just the trailer, maybe he will be better in the movie.

We only got a split second to see him, and he did have Bishop's "look," at least to me. I think the only characters with more than a brief line are Wolverine, Magneto, and Xavier. I think Wolverine has been a bit overdone in previous years and this looks a lot like "Wolverine goes back in time to save the world" to me, which is getting a bit trite. I hope we get to see more of them team, at the very least he has to be working with the team from First Class.

In my ideal world, this movie will take place in the actual future for at least the first 30 minutes before we see the going back in time bit. I really would like to see some X-Force vs. Apocalypse action and seeing them ultimately failing which forces the X-Men in the present day to concoct their scheme to go back in time to fix things. Don't get me wrong. I loved First Class, but if it's just going to be a Wolverine movie, I will be a little disappointed.

It reflects the comic, Wolverine has been over done in them too.

Yeah, Wolverine character is about as over-rated and over-hyped as Dark Knight Returns or Watchmen.

He dropped in popularity and is less present. Now it is Iron Man who has the gift of ubiquity. He is even with the Guardian of the Galaxy.

Yeah Wolverine is my favorite character and even I'll agree that he has been overused. But he had a pretty heavy role in the comics, IIRC.

I definitely want to see some of the future action before they travel back. I'm also interested in how they explain the professor's return. He hinted that it had to do with his powers (or maybe someone else's powers) but that was it. Personally, I was hoping that they would leave him dead and then it would be the changes to the timestream that would alter history and keep him alive.

At the end of X3 you see how the professor comes back to life. Post credit scene.

I have to admit I am a big fan of Wolverine. He is a great hero and anti-hero (depending on the circumstance). He has a compelling backstory (even as ret-conned as it has become) and an awesome suite of powers which still have their limits and vulnerabilities. There is something of a romanticism about lone-wolves in North American culture as well which I believe grants him a great deal of popularity. But even in the comics he has been far too ubiquitous. Just check out his Marvel page or his Wikipedia entry. He's been on practically every Marvel team in existence at one point or another. I get that he is a popular character and Marvel/Disney want to milk it to its fullest extent. But there are fans out there with other favorite characters. Cyclops has always been my personal favorite (not the movie version, but the comic versions). And X-Men has always been about teamwork and overcoming adversity. Turning the X-Men brand into a Wolverine fetish diminishes the message and the true appeal of the franchise.
