20th Century Fox has announced that the official title to the new X-Men movie will be X-Men : The Last Stand. This looks to be the best yet of the X-movies. We have the inclusion of several new mutants including Beast, Angel, Callisto and more Colossus,(no Nightcrawler this time) also Juggernaut and some new baddies. Jean Grey returns in her Phoenix state which should make for some great character interactions. The Phoenix story was some of the best writing in the original comics so it should lend itself well to the screenplay.
In a recent interview, Vinnie Jones, who play Juggernaut said he had signed on for X-men 4 and 5. This is big news if it is true. The original cast had a 3 movie contract. Will they return for more? I know that Halle Berry was close to turning down X3 until they expanded her character. And it is unknown what Hugh Jackman will do. He is the mainstay and center-piece of all the movies. The Wolverine solo movie is set to film after X3 is released. There are tons of stories that could be adapted to the big screen, and the amount of characters they could tap is endless.
