X-Men: Days of Future Past Spoilers
Aug. 19th, 2013 03:36 pmThey abound, everywhere, in this post.
As does intermittent squeeing.
Also, some tumblrites might have seen even less coherent versions of this but this is longer, and slightly more considered.
So the thing that really set off this weekend's squeeing was ( this picture )
Also, while I've not been looking for casting news, I occasionally hear it. Now I'm quite deliberately not double-checking anything because I want to go into the film minimally spoiled (I'm a comics reader, I've see the cartoon, I have a base level of pre-spoiled) so I heard that Adrian Holmes has been cast. Now even if he's not Bishop (brief pause for Bishop-squee) (a second pause for Bishop-squee) (a further pause for Bishop and Gambit-squee which is not going to happen in this film but I don't care because squee), the man deserves to be in something big since he spent time acting with/at/around Steven Segal in the second season of True Justice which may, in parts, be the worst thing ever committed to television.
I've also just heard about Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Quicksilver. I approve. As long as they dye his hair silver. Some details are important.
Part of this approval is because I like his acting.
The other part is that he does look quite like both of the actors playing his Dad.
Of course, I have no idea how they’re going to do Quicksilver with his Dad being with a different studio, because, and this is me being a terrible comics fan, the only thing I remember about Quicksilver’s character and motivation are “I hate my mutant Dad” and “I love my sister”. According to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
angstbunny Fox and Paramount have an agreement, which basically boils down to Fox will not mention that Magneto's children are in the Avengers and Paramount will not mention who Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch's Dad is. I'm assuming the "or else" is attack lawyers. It does strike me as being horrible childish.
Also, they'd better also have the Scarlet Witch if they're going to have Quicksilver. I know she's game-breakingly powerful but one without the other, particularly if the one is the male twin, is a bit 0.o.
