X-Men Cinematic Universe

I could see her playing the role of Hope as the Mutant Messiah.

From what I've heard she already kinda does in this movie.

Hugh Jackman retiring is the perfect oportunity for other characters to take the spotlight for a few years and get popular in a bigger way than in the past. Fox can easily do this during a few years, and once they get a few more popular X-Men/X-Force stars, they can re-introduce Wolverine again. But doing a recast right now would be a huge mistake. There isnt anything smart in rushing something. Let X-23 has her time to shine in at least two movies, same with the young X-men from XMA, and then reintroduce Logan once the new Cyclops, Jean, Nightcrawler, Storm have gotten their deserved development and real exposure.

There was an interview with Mark Millar about two or three years ago where he said that is precisely the plan after Jackman retires. He was a consultant at the time on the X-films working with Simon Kinberg and they knew they had a problem when Hugh retires. He specifically said that this was how they'd address it. Build up other characters and focus on them for awhile, let Logan cool off and maybe eventually recast him. They were noncommittal on the recasting part, saying that he's "irreplaceable" in that role and all that nonsense, but we all know that's just Hollywood talk and heaping effusive praise on the guy. They will recast Wolverine down the road and bring him back. No doubt. He's too big of a character not to.

I think Cable will be from her time and try to bring her to the present or something, either in X-Force or a possible Cable spin-off. I could see her playing the role of Hope as the Mutant Messiah.

That could be interesting. Especially if it's some sort of virus or something that is wiping out mutantkind in the 'Logan' future timeline, and for some reason her DNA is the key to stopping it. Hmm...

That would mean no Hope Summers then. Which would be awesome.

That would be one thing the movies get better than the comics.

You are very naive if you think that when Hugh Jackman left, the other characters become popular.

The films that focus on the early days of the X-Men are vastly better than the early days of the X-Men. Jean was more developed in Apocalypse then she was in the original X-Men run.

The X-Men are more than Wolverine.

No. They are not. As bad as those early X-Men issues were, the movies are worse.

[Celestial]

The X-Men are more than Wolverine.

They are. Unfortunately, Fox doesn't think so.

[Divine Spark]

No. They are not. As bad as those early X-Men issues were, the movies are worse.

I can't think of anything in the movies worse than this.

[Divine Spark]

I said the films that focus on the early days. So only the last image matters.

[SpiderClops]

The Stan Lee/Jack Kirby run might not be good, but X-Men: First Class comic and X-Men: Season 1 were superb. And both of them were focused on the X-Men, not just Xavier/Magneto.

Also, the First Class trilogy isn't about the early days of X-Men, it's about what happened before the X-Men were formed. It takes three F@#$%^g movies to form the team.
