Mystique's makeup looks so half-assed. Like they spray painted her blue and stuck some stickers on her head.

@THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - They really could have just hired a cosplayer for that. J-Law is so checked out of this movie. Probably paid for her acting hiatus.

I just saw Days of Future Past a couple days ago. Reminded me of how great that movie was. I remember when I first saw it, it gave me a newfound respect for the X-Men, because I was personally never a huge fan of them to begin with.

But I loved DOFP, and if this film can be as good as that...

I'm still not paying money to see it.

Jessica Chastain is some rendition of Mastermind. Calling it now. He was an instigator of Jean's corruption into the Dark Phoenix in the comics and the animated series.

@BlackBeltJones - My theory is that Chastain is a playing an example of how the old Fox regime, can hire great actors for crappy roles that bear little to no resemblance to their source material. Oscar Isaac played the same role in Apocalypse.

Fox after casting Chastain, going for the repeat

@JoeInTheBox - I don’t know why some people give Apocalypse so much grief. A lot of it has to do with sheeple jumping on the hate train ala that asinine Ivan Ooze comparison. Sure he didn’t morph his body, which I think he should have, but their take on how he passed his essence onto another host was really cool. I also liked the look they gave him. And it’s closer to the source than given credit for. I know the movie was divisive, but I liked it. But I do see some of the issues with it. Also, Fox isn’t the only company to alter characters they are adapting.

@PeenWeinersteen - Not counting Apocalypse aside. I just don't like the movie as a whole. Not in the bandwagon group either. I saw it the Tuesday after opening, to a largely empty theater and wanted walk out honestly.

I will totally understand altering characters to adapt. I think what Matthew Vaughn did with X-Men: First Class was amazing. What I hated was Fox handing the franchise back to Singer and Kinberg afterwards.

@JoeInTheBox - Yea, I can get behind that. I wanted to see what Vaughn would have done, going forward.

I think she will just be an Avatar of the Phoenix Force that only Jean can see and talk to.

@BlackBeltJones - I've been guessing that she's a blend of Mastermind and Deathbird. Chastain did mention that shes from another planet and that her movements are avian-like.

This movie looks pretty solid, the trailer was really cool, and I’m looking forward to seeing how this all plays out.

Why would I pay to see this when Fox already got my damn money for TLS?

Had already seen the first pic last weekend on Twitter I think and it is one of the best ones, the grip Jean has on Scott looks badass. The others with the group shots are cool as well.
