Comic/Movie News - X-Men First Class


Josh Schwartz, the man behind The OC, Chuck, and Gossip Girl, has signed on to write the big screen adaption of X-Men First Class. I'm really not sure how I feel about this. After X-Men: The Last Stand my faith in the X-Men franchise is shattered. I guess it will depend on what characters will be covered. My dream is that they will delve into the young X-Men from the Last Stand, Kitty, Rogue, Iceman, and Colossus. I am purposely leaving Angel out because I now hate the character thanks to Ben Foster's whiny, simpering portrayal. So angry... I want to see a new headmaster (EMMA FROST!!!) and an edgier, less-aged version that is true to the comics but still kicks ass. Alas, NO Halle Berry!!! Let's see some Grant Morrison action peppered with the killer New X-Men run by Kyle and Yost. Bring on X-23.
