Before watching the trailer the only thing i knew about the movie was the cast list, specifically who was playing Emma Frost. A character I've had a long standing familiarity with since my comic loving origins, back when she was the headmistress and teacher for the Generation X class. Anyway, a few years back the amazing Grant Morrison (writer of Doom Patrol, Invisibles, and -personal favorite-Animal Man) revamped and tweeked the character into the amazing ex-villain, cold-hearted, husband stealing bitch she is now.
I digress, this is supposed to be about the movie. So i was a little worried, at some point Bryan Singer (director of the first two movies) was connected to this but backed out/dropped out in the early stages of pre-production. A few weeks ago SOMEONE leaked a cast photo from the movie. A horrible cast photo that tried to resemble the ad-ascetic of the first couple Singer movies.

| Movie continuity? Nah, we don't need that. |
Diamondy Emma Frost seems like it'll never look right on film. Reminds me of an exaggerated Twilight vampire in the sun.
Magneto and Professor X seem to be working on saving the world from a missile crisis, assuming Cuban.
Seems like Hank McCoy becomes blue in this film (whoops, wasn't he pink in the first movie?).
Havok is older than Scott.
Angel looks too much like a model, the actress is too pretty. A Grant Morrison creation, she was sassy and her powers were a little grotesque, i hope we see her eat (like a fly). Vomiting on her food before consuming it.
Azazel is in this movie (Nightcrawler's dad), and it looks like he's got a badass scene in the film. He's a bit of a controversial character since he was created a few short years ago in a horrible storyline about Nightcrawler's origin. Horrible storyline, it was a sad few years in X-Men comic history.
Since they show Mystique in the trailer (Nightcrawler's mom) i hope they show baby 'Crawler BAMF out! How rad would that be?!
The cast is hot as fuck, i cannot wait to see January Jones walk around in her bra for most of the movie! I don't even really like boobies but i love me some Emma and Ms. Jones.
I am totally stoked about the movie now, the last scene in the trailer with the planes and missiles suspended in air look great. I'll be there opening weekend.
