For the people who *will* ask: the ones who aren't immediately recognisable are Shadowcat, Callisto, Pyro, and Juggernaut.
No, Colossus is NOT being played by Ben Affleck, and Pyro is not from Tatooine.
If you haven't seen the teaser yet, what are you waiting for?

Date: 2006-03-03 04:03 am (UTC)I am claiming stupid day stress for not cluing in to Shadowcat (yay! finally! Kitty Pride!).
I still want to know on what fucking planet that is Callisto, but okay. I mean, she looks clean and delicate, with a classy-ish tattoo. She does *not* look like the punked-out queen of the sewer mutants.
(I *liked* the punked-out queen of the sewer mutants.)

Date: 2006-03-03 12:45 pm (UTC)(Hang on: mainstream? These movies *are* the mainstream continuity. The comics are for the geeks.)
Apparently they have decided to pick the character's styling from the post-Siege Perilous era and add a tattoo, in which Masque made her abnormally beautiful and she was having a successful career as a New York model and hooking up with the sensitive Russian artist Peter Nicholas.[1] That is fine. I very much doubt they're going to have her accidentally reverted back to her original state after the nasty Morlocks beat the shit out of her to attempt to secure the position of ruler (even though she was off being a model and not really very involved with the Morlocks at that point), but that is fine.
Nonetheless, I miss the punked-out queen of the sewer mutants.

[1] Who'd forgotten such little details as "Why yes, I can change my body to organic steel and used to be hanging out with the X-Men." Sweet amnesia, where would comic polts be without thee...

Date: 2006-03-03 06:58 am (UTC)Wondering how the hell they picked that woman to play Callisto when Callisto is a rough-looking white woman who led a group of outcasts that lived underground in New York City.
Noticed a bunch of weirdo cameos in credits. Omega Red?
Feeling the same skepticism that plagued "pre-Alan Cumming as Nightcrawler" thoughts on X2, lessened only by "Kelsey Grammar as Beast" hopefulness.

Date: 2006-03-03 12:35 pm (UTC)Russian mutant villain. Noted for lethal pheremones,[1] Doctor Octopus-style coils of carborundum (flexible adamantium) in his wrists, and an antisocial need to suck the life-force from other mutants (other anything?) to survive.
Last seen (by me, anyway) in early X-Men (the new series), in the middle of the Soul Skinner/let's re-age Illyana/whoops, killed her (and Collossus's parents) story arc. Yich.

[1] No, really. Lethal pheremones. Killer BO. Though I think they called them death spores in the comic.

Well, you see, it's the movies. Which means a passing observer might be tempted to believe that a side-effect of most mutations is being abnormally attractive, or very rarely abnormally unattractive, but certainly never anything so pedestrian as *normally* unattractive.
Which means that this face
just isn't cutting it.
"Punked-out queen of the sewer mutants" would also be a good band name.

Date: 2006-03-03 02:38 pm (UTC)As is, I'm assuming they wanted to make them easily icon-able.
