Characters who should appear in upcoming X-Men movies

After blogging about some possible characters in a possible third G.I. Joe movie, I figured why not give X-Men a shot.

Days of Future past is already in the works, but what about the one after that? One has to think that after the original trilogy, two Wolverine movies and two prequels, there’s not too many X-Men movies left.

Nightcrawler made an appearance in X2, Beast made his full-form appearance in X-Men: The Last Stand, and Gambit made an appearance in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Banshee, Havok and The White Queen were all part of X-Men: First Class.

Magneto, Mystique, Cyclops, the Professor, Rogue and Storm were all major parts of the original X-Men trilogy. So who is left?

Here are a few characters who would be fun to see make appearances in any remaining X-Men movies:


Jubilee

She was a teenager in the animated series in the ‘90s. Because of that she was often left out of the major missions, for her own safety. In X-Men, Rogue kind of took on the role of the teenage sidekick, so there wasn't much role left for Jubilee.

In First Class, however, most of the mutants who were involved in the fight scenes were teenagers too, so maybe there is a spot for Jubilee in upcoming X-Men movies.



Mr. Sinister

With his 21st century-style Dracula-like look, one would think that Mr. Sinister would have been used by now, if for no other reason than the fact that he’d be a very visually impressive looking addition.

Perhaps in Days of Future Past there will be an appearance.

In the ‘90s cartoon, Mr. Sinister was usually seen helping out the X-Men, battling the Sentinels, in future times.



Apocalypse

He’s arguably the most invincible villain of the entire X-Men franchise. He’s yet to make an appearance in any of the movies though. Perhaps it’s because he’s so invincible. It’d be extremely difficult for the X-Men to defeat him by himself, let alone with other villains involved.

The X-Men movies have always been more ensemble than focusing on a single mutant – villain or hero. Unless his four horsemen of the Apocalypse were involved, Apocalypse almost always battled the X-Men without help from anyone else.



Cable

If Apocalypse is to make an appearance, then Cable is a ‘must’ as well. As a time traveler, Cable has been battling Apocalypse throughout various decades and centuries.

He was never my favorite character of the X-Men series, but he is almost the ying to Apocalypse’s yang. It wouldn’t be right to have one without the other.

If Apocalypse shows up, Cable is sure to be close behind.



Omega Red

If there’s another Wolverine movie, then Omega Red is the only foe left that would make sense. Wolverine battled Lady Deathstrike in X2, Sabretooth in X-Men Origins, and will face the Silver Samurai in The Wolverine.

Other than the Incredible Hulk, Omega Red is the one major battle Wolverine has had in the comics and animated series, but not in the movies.

Celebrity (look-a-like) sightings - part 3

Part 1 and Part 2 were good, but I think there's some definite look-a-likes this time around. I'll get right to the comparisons, but let me know what you think? Am I spot on or what? I saved the very best (and closest comparison) for last this time, so make sure to scroll to the bottom of the page. On the left: Edge On the right: Jamie Campbell Bower May as well start with a wrestling-related one. It seems those pro wrestlers have doppelgängers all over. I'd mentioned before that Wilson Bethel resembles Edge . I still stand by that statement. However, I think Jamie Campbell Bower looks even more like Edge. Jamie Bower, for those who are unaware like I was, is an actor who has quite an impressive resume already. I just watched The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones (review to come later) and that's the first time I saw him...or so I thought. Jamie was in the final three Twilight movies, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Parts 1 and 2 , and t...

Choosing a side on DVD menu's -- what's the point?

Most DVDs go to a menu screen after you’re done hearing about ‘the cloud,’ how cigarettes can kill you and seeing a preview for the latest animated film. Some, however, give you an option. ‘Pick a side,’ they say. I’ve run into this twice recently – with the G.I. Joe DVD and The Break-Up DVD . At first I thought it was a cool concept. Maybe, if you pick Cobra’s side, there’s an alternate ending? Or maybe some special features --- like an in-depth look at Storm Shadow’s sword training. If you pick the side of the Joe’s, maybe there’s a look at their stunt training. No, no, and no. I went with Cobra and it takes you to the exact same screen, with the exact same features, as it does when you pick G.I. Joe. Same thing with The Break-Up .

R.I.P. to the Apple Grande

I got some sad news recently: Taco John's discontinued their deliciously underrated treat: the apple grande. For me, this is worse than the Twinkie ordeal earlier this year. I grew up eating these whenever my family went to Taco John's. You didn't even need to get a taco. A Pepsi, potato oles and an apple grande was a delicious meal by itself. The apple grande was not one of those treats that you'd often hear people talking about. There are probably quite a few people out there who never even got to experience the taste bud happiness that the apple grande provided. It was an amazing, crispy flour tortilla that was coated in cinnamon and sugar and topped with warm apple filling, cheddar cheese and crushed cinnamon candy. I was told by one of the Taco John's locations that they no longer served the apple grande and that it was a nationwide change. I don't know if that's the case or not. The item is still listed on the Taco John's website...
