I don't generally have a problem with changes to the source material as long as they work. So far I have faith in those behind the franchise. If Angel is a girl, then bring it on. If she's half as attractive as the girls on the team now, then I'm all for it!
What I'm interested in is the idea of movie number "3." There's no real precedent here. Superman II was pretty good as far as that goes, and Spidey 2 seemed to follow that movie's formula pretty close, but there's no book on how to write a successful 3rd movie. Both X-men and Spidey have that challenge to face right now and the way it's been going with the Marvel stable (Elektra and Blade III notwithstanding), I have faith that at least one of them will get it right.
As long as they don't try to follow the formula of Superman III, we should be O.K. Although I would pay to see X-men 3 if Richard Pryor was in it (as Bishop perhaps?)
