3Hello Anonymous! I think your spelling skills indicate that you might not be aware of what the word ‘composite’ means… look it up.
Thanks for your input though.

5Deadpool is the only mutant I like. I really hope he is given more than just two lines in the flick.

8I hope Taylor Kitsch makes a gret Gambit for the simple fact that Gambit is my favorite comic book character of all time. I’d hate to see him put in a movie and made a disgrace of!!

9i would love to see this movie , i agree ryan reynolds would be a cool choise for dead pool, (voice may be a bit off) , Hugh Jackman makes a great wolverine , tho in the x-men movies he wasnt a big enough jerk,and Liev Schreiber would make a good sabertooth as well, hope there truth to this line up

10They are looking to make a deadpool movie based off of reynolds. Also deadpools healing factor off wolverine was beefed up by a villian in the comics and he was made pretty much immortal as a sick way to punish him. So I would deffinitely consider him a mutant.

12Gambit is my favorite comic character so they better do a good job with him, and it better make sense that he is even in the movie. I also think the actor Vincent Cassell would have made a much better Gambit. As for Deadpool, its a good choice. I am disappointed Maverick isn’t in the movie. he was a big part of Logan’s early Weapon X days with Sabretooth. Not sure how they r gonna tie Cyclops in either. I am worried that with Gambit they are just trying to stick another face that ppl wanna see just for the sake of having it there. I mean, how many ppl wanna see this if for no other reason than to see Gambit on the screen. I know u can count me among that group. I just hope they don’t screw it up.
