Lucas Till On What He'd Like For HAVOK In X-MEN: FIRST CLASS Sequel

The young actor spoke to IGN at E3 about some things he would like for his character Alex Summers (Havok) in the sequel to X-Men: First Class - It seems he would like the next movie to be a bit more faithful to the Havok from the comics..

Follow Mark "RorMachine":
By Mark "RorMachine" Cassidy - 6/8/2012
Lucas Till did a decent job as Havok in the first X-Men: First Class, but like a couple of his young team mates in the movie, he wasn't really given a whole lot to do. Hopefully that will change in the now officially announced sequel, which Till confirms he will return for. He also acknowledges the changes made to Havok's powers in the movie and says he hopes things will be a bit more comic fan-friendly in the next one. And, why not throw in a bit of Polaris action while we're at it! I like the way you think son..



"All I know is that my mom told me we're going to start shooting in January. It's funny because she tells me everything that goes on before I know. I don't know if you saw, but Havok shoots hula hoops out of his body. I remember when (director Matthew Vaughn) told me, and I was like, 'NOOOO!' It's going to ruin it for all the fans of Havok and I tried to make the best of it, but I really hope in the next one that the chest piece—because there's always that circle in the middle so you could tell where his power level was at—but not necessarily used as a device to channel the energy from. I want some gauntlets or something to shoot it out of my hands, and I want Polaris in there. I want a sexy green-haired girl to fall in love with. That's all I'm asking for."


Well, I can't see Polaris (Lorna Dane) appearing as Magneto's daughter as she is in the comics, but they could use an alternate version of the character I guess. After all, Alex Summers is Scott's (Cyclops) brother and they haven't acknowledged that - at least so far. What about you guys, you looking forward to seeing Havok back for the sequel, or did he fail to leave an impression first time around?

Fox has to be stopped
marknjoanna - 6/8/2012, 7:49 PM
i guess in the only guy that thinks 1st class was the best x film.

1st class

x2

x1

x3

i remember when a men #94 came out and loved it, best run ever in comics dc or marvel is x men #94 to #138.

I think Polaris would be a welcome addition to the franchise, especially if they play up the "is she Magneto's daughter?" angle.
How would Magneto handle suddenly having a potention relative after being alone for so long?
souhunter - 6/8/2012, 7:54 PM
These adds r pissing me off & FU fox I don't care just make a good movie
MitchConner - 6/8/2012, 7:58 PM
I agree with Mark, first class was the best movie yet in the series, the rest of them blew as far as I'm concerned
TheSoulEater - 6/8/2012, 8:06 PM
I could see Alice Eve as Polaris
Mercwitham0uth - 6/8/2012, 8:09 PM
God I wish Fox didn't make this. Only reason First Class was made was because Fox was about to lose their rights to the X-Men franchise. The least they could've done was make it a complete reboot and faithful adaptation to the X-Men.

Cyclops, Iceman, Beast, Angel, Jean Grey (Marvel Girl) That's the first class. That would've been better if they just focused on those characters in the other movies rather than just make it all about Wolverine.
sbdc1939 - 6/8/2012, 8:15 PM
i like this dude he actally knows who he is playing. Not like the guy who played gambit that played gambit in wolverine.Im with that kid, i thought the hoola hoop thing was kinda wierd myself
tweeeeenkies3 - 6/8/2012, 8:21 PM
YES.
PLEASE. POLARIS. PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEE!
I want her too! Please and thank you!
ThePowerCosmic - 6/8/2012, 8:22 PM
First of all Havok should not have even been in that movie. First Class would be Cyclops, Jean Grey, Beast and Angel. I fricken hate that they had to use secondary characters because of their screwed up continuity. If they would have just considered it a reboot they could have done it right.

This steams the hell out of me!!! Anyone else? Is everyone ok with them using Havok, Mystique, Darwin (whatever the hell that character is), Dragonfly girl that spits fire instead of the original X-men? I am so ticked off they did that. FOX Sucks give Marvel the Damn rights back to make a proper Uncanny X-Men film!

If it wasn't for Fassbender and McAvoy that movie would have been complete garbage. Fox is just wasting years that Marvel could be making a great franchise out of this.
ThePowerCosmic - 6/8/2012, 8:27 PM
Oops!
@ Mercwithamouth beat me to it! But I am glad you agree.

I can't believe some people this FC was the best X-Men film. That wasn't an X-Men film, it was the history of Xavier and Magneto with some throw away mutants to fill in the cracks.
CCWGGuy - 6/8/2012, 8:30 PM
Well he is only 22, his mom has probably been his manager or one of them since he was a minor, so that makes sense, and I agree alter his powers (and just he has learned to channel them in a different way).
thewonderer - 6/8/2012, 8:37 PM
First Class was better than pretty much every Marvel Studios film besides maybe Iron Man and Avengers.

It isn't just about accuracy, its about making a great film and honestly marvels had a hard time making STELLAR films out of their properties. Mainly because they wont hire talent.
marknjoanna - 6/8/2012, 8:43 PM
love and listen to your mom as looong as you can. she may be gone before you know it and all you will have is memories and aholes like pattyzreo running her down.

peace out.
JerBear - 6/8/2012, 8:46 PM

"It isn't just about accuracy, its about making a great film"

Avengers is now the template for ALL future Marvel movies, there's no reason we shouldn't get an accurate and great comic book film?
ThePowerCosmic - 6/8/2012, 8:54 PM
@thewonderer

You would lose that argument with 90% of Marvel fans. Marvels films are praised for their great casting and storytelling by both critics and fans alike.

If you think a girl with dragonfly wings that spits fire was a good choice to help tell that story then go right ahead. X2 destroys that movie in every way.

NeoBaggins - 6/8/2012, 9:03 PM
First Class is overrated, which usually happens when a film does more than expected. People go overboard. But it's a good film if you ignore the continuity raping. If they're not going to go by the existing fox/x-trilogy universe, I hope they at least keep in line with the story they've created thus far. I'm tired of the Magneto show, but Fassbender made the movie. Quickly followed by Bacon and Mcavoy.
thewonderer - 6/8/2012, 9:32 PM
@Jerbear, no please god no don't let Avengers be a template. Look it was great no doubting that but the film lacked hard in plot and character development. Yes you can argue it had its 5 films before to support, but you see most CBMs WONT have that. So no don't let Avengers be a template at all. Only for team up films.

@PowerCosmic
Marvel films don't always have great casting. Yeah the leads are great. Look beyond them. Don Cheadle was terrible COMPARED to Howard, I HATED Natalie Portman as Jane Foster (way too big a star for such a role), Rourke would've been good if he had more than 15 minutes in IM2, Bucky from Cap was the least memorable thing about that film, and all Colbie Smulders served in Avengers was to be that person people go "hey shes from how i met your mother!"

Storytelling is arguable. Iron Man was great, Iron Man 2 was decent at best, Cap and Thor were equally good, and Hulk was decent.

First Class however was Iron Man good. I could give a flying frick about what their powers were. It was a great film. Matthew Vaughn, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, these are talents you won't see in a Marvel Studios film because they're so damn cheap.

First Class was great. The mutants they chose to be in the film were strange but hey it worked a ton.

Bacon, Fassbender, McAvoy, even Lawrence and Byrne(looks ;) were simply astounding to watch.

The final battle FINALLY first CBM before Avengers to give a fulfilling final battle in A LONG TIME. Maybe since Hulk. Rest have been what less than 10 minutes?

I also loved the story of FC. Fassbender made the Holocaust connection work strong. McAvoy nailed the incredibly generous yet still young and naive Charles Xavier.

Give credit where its due, First Class may be inaccurate but I'd be damned if I lied and said it wasn't simply a great film all around. It was made in a year, holy hell thats just sad for any other CBM that took longer
Ace101 - 6/8/2012, 10:03 PM
fox just stop making cbm's ok
tylerox9 - 6/8/2012, 10:05 PM
lol. he is kinda kick ass actually.
StormLoganSummers - 6/8/2012, 10:15 PM
He probably won't do or say much in this one either.
nerdman81 - 6/8/2012, 10:15 PM
If I were him, I'd want a complete reboot of the franchise! Actually done correctly for a change with the REAL first class!! I don't understand the love for that movie! It wasn't good! The only thing remotely good about it was Fassbender, because let's face it, that dude is tits!! Also, please get a new director because Matthew Vaughn sucks! Sorry fanboys, but it's true!
nerdman81 - 6/8/2012, 10:18 PM
Ok I lied...Jennifer Lawrence naked in blue paint was also tits! No pun intended:P

he's upset that they messed with havoc's powers, I'm just pissed that he's not scott summers! They're at X 1st class and they already [frick]ed the summers family tree, which [frick]s up mr. sinister, which [frick]s up Phoenix, Cable, Stryfe etc. etc....

But he did fine as an actor, given the shit deal Vaughn gave him. He sounds pretty young but he was cool

"First Class was better than pretty much every Marvel Studios film besides maybe Iron Man and Avengers.

Dude, seriously? You're really going to say that it's not about accuracy, with the GLARING oversights of First Class? The changes to the roster of First Class, as well as the time frame in which it's established, is like taking the JLA (I'm assuming here that you know way more about DC than Marvel), and making the roster out of Superman, Booster Gold, Nightwing, Swamp Thing, Harlequinn, Captain Boomerang and Lex Luther. And Gorilla Grodd is in the role of Sebastian Shaw here (yep, it's that horrible already).

Ok now, Harlequinn is Superman's adopted sister "he found one night", and at the end of the movie when the team splits, she's the person who prompts Joker to become the Joker later in life, and a young Bruce Wayne gets motivation to become Batman after watching Nightwing chase after her. And then DC makes it canon from then on. Still nothing wrong with this, or does a "stellar film" make it ok to broad stroke the hell out source material?
Ranger14 - 6/9/2012, 12:26 AM
He'd like to have an older brother named Scott, but they fricked that up, so doubt that will happen. :-P

"but the film lacked hard in plot and character development."

Your opinion and I would say the vast majority of people who saw the film would disagree with you on that. If it lacked plot and character development, the critics would have ripped it apart like they like to do with cbm's. That wasn't the case.
Rhino4508 - 6/9/2012, 12:38 AM
@Darkhaven

Once again Darkhaven, Well said.

About First Class, I think the movie was a good movie, but honestly I had to go into it looking at it as another universe type deal. In my mind, X-men will always be the original five Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Ice Man, Angel, and Beast fighting against The Brotherhood made up of Magneto, Toad, Mastermind, Quicksilver, and the Scarlet Witch.
Ranger14 - 6/9/2012, 12:52 AM
"It isn't just about accuracy, its about making a great film and honestly marvels had a hard time making STELLAR films out of their properties. Mainly because they wont hire talent." f

Won't hire talent? Kenneth Branagh, Joe johnston, Shane Black, RDJ, Anthony Hopkins, Samuel Jackson, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Renee Russo, Scarlet Johannson, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Jeremy Renner, Tommy Lee Jones, Guy Pierce, Ben Kingsley...need I go on?

For me, it's about making me believe I am actually seeing the comic come to life on the big screen. First Class made me believe I was seeing something on the big screen, but it wasn't the actual X-Men comic. It was a decent film, but a lousy comic book adaptation.
gambgel - 6/9/2012, 1:17 AM
POLARIS, all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


She is the right choice for the sequel, since the x-men need one girl already, and they SHOULD adress the connection with Eric, without doubt.

They're on the 60's, so its the right time to adress that issue, because the later they do want to do it, the harder it will be, with more characters, subplots and all.
YipCha - 6/9/2012, 2:01 AM
darkhaven. You summed up my opinion on First Class perfectly. Very good comment.
timotey - 6/9/2012, 2:45 AM
@Darkhaven: Why couldn't Harley Quinn be Superman's adopted sister in an alternate universe? Because XMFC is set in a universe of its own, according to Jane Goldman. And with so many AUs and retcons in the comic books, you want to harp on XMFC? Sheesh.

And I love it when people on this side throw around statements like "box office success doesn't indicate the quality of the movie" or "look at the reviews" - only when it suits them. XMFC is the best rated X-Men movie, most critics and most people who went to see it and bothered to leave a review liked it, if for nothing else than for the amazing portrayal of Erik and Charles. So it wasn't a movie for you, big deal. I don't like TDK but I don't harp on it in every article's comments section.
breakUbatman - 6/9/2012, 3:03 AM
You know what I don't mind changes in CBM's... as long as they work.

Hellboy is a perfect example - Abes a bit of a wimp and is psychic, Liz and Hellboy are going steady, Johann Krauss joins the team before Roger or Daimio, Kroenen was a clockwork ninja and the horror elements are downplayed.

But the movies are good and the changes work for the films. I've accepted the XM:FC changes because they work and its separate from the comics, just as the MCU is not the 616 or ultimate Universe.

deamon - 6/9/2012, 3:34 AM
Till forget about Polaris.
She has the same powers as Magneto, her father.
If she's about 15 in 1963 (Eric is 33), then Eric should be about 18 when Polaris was born, how old was her mother?
jazzman - 6/9/2012, 4:17 AM
@deamon

maybe 18 also lol
marvel72 - 6/9/2012, 4:59 AM
he wants havok to be more faithful to the comics,well don't hold your breath mate,you're already cyclops older brother.

thats fox for ya.

the best x-men film ever.

1st x-men 2 4/5

2nd x-men first class 3/5

3rd x-men 3/5

AvengeCoulson - 6/9/2012, 5:18 AM
@marvel72 i concur x2 was hands down a better movie then the rest, shit the first scene in x2 was better then some of the other movies entire film
marvel72 - 6/9/2012, 5:31 AM
@ AvengeCoulson

the opening of x-men 2 is one of,if not the greatest comic book movie scene ever!
Watcher - 6/9/2012, 5:44 AM
OH PLEASE.....

First Class was a sorry cluster[frick]

Newbus - 6/9/2012, 8:31 AM
Darkhaven would argue that a lump of sh** on a string is better than a gold necklace. And his avatar is Batman!!???

And how would Polaris fit in a sequel? Sticking to the filmverse in First Class Magneto has no children / wife / girlfriend. Havock is already a teenager, so what time period will the sequel be in, late 70s? There goes Vaughns JFK assasination plot out the window. And if it's the late 70s will Xavier be in wheelchair or will he start walking again by a miracle?

There's a simple solution. Burn ALL existing copies of the xmen films and hand the rights back to Marvel.
ComicBookGoth - 6/9/2012, 8:39 AM
bring in lorna and fix the Sh*t continuity
PeterParker1991 - 6/9/2012, 10:09 AM
Just replace him with Cyclops. He's more powerful and depending on the villain, hopefully introducing Sentinels w/ more Magneto, Havoc doesn't stand a chance unless he's got a formidable team backing him up.
ThePowerCosmic - 6/9/2012, 11:49 AM
For everybody saying that First Class is better than any or most Marvel movies is just crazy to me, but that's just different opinions talking I guess.

Here's what I don't get. You can argue all you want about how awesome First Class was but it just comes down to how much better it COULD have been If they rebooted it and did it right. You might think it's a good story, but it would have been 100 times better if the original X-Men were used instead of weak developed secondary characters. How can you make an origin of the X-Men film without the original X-men? It's just moronic. The simple answer to make this film AMAZING would be to reboot and do it right. They easily could have but didn't.

In my opinion this movie wasn't even half as good as the weakest Marvel studios movie.
musashi - 6/9/2012, 2:09 PM
If Darwin can adapt to anything, how could he die? That didn't make sense to me.
HartViper - 6/9/2012, 3:12 PM
IMHO, the Neal Adams/Roy Thomas Sentinels issues from the original series (#57-58) would be incredible on the screen. Use the original Uncanny X-Men lineup, and with the Trask Sentinels you could certainly bring in any other mutants to enhance the story, and Polaris was in them (dating Iceman, as I recall). CGI technology would make the Sentinels look awesome.
laughterman26 - 6/9/2012, 4:00 PM
i want,him to get an updated cotumes, like the ones from the 70s, i would also like.......his bother [the one from origins, who was actually a pretty bad ass cyclops] AND WHY IS THE ORIGINS GAME [frick]ING AWESOME AND THE MOVIE IS SHIT
