Depp...*drools* But he's too well known. It would ruin the movie. He'd be the focus of every scene he was in.
No, I think we need some good "unknowns"

My b/f and I were thinking they should get a hot french-man to play Gambit, cause he'd be best at the accent. Much better than most American actors probably.
I don't think Connick Jr. has the right look. He looks too...British...Well, maybe. I suppose being born in New Orleans would be a plus, although New Orleans actually doesn't have many Cajuns. It's the outlying areas, like Lafayette, that have the cajun culture. The Big Easy is a little more Creole, with a lot of other stuff mixed in.

Sorry folks, all this speculation is over. Hollywood has recently decided that all francophones are now to be played by Jean Reno.

UPDATE!
It seems they've filled the role of Beast. Quote:

This upsets me. Angel was a character in the xmen series I really thought was bad ass. Even when he was archangel after Apocalypse ripped off his wings (I think that's how it went at least) I still liked the guy, he was awesome.
The fact that they're making Angel a woman!? Rediculous. It makes me wonder though, wasn't there sort of a female counterpart to Angel in the series and we just didn't see her enough to be notable? |

I totally buy the idea of Grammer as Beast. I can't picture it visually just yet, but I will say that the dude won't need that much extra body hair
Anyone else remember when him and Patrick Stewart worked together?

You say that as if he had the ability to change back and forth from angel to archangel. Am I correct in my description that angel had his wings ripped off by Apocalypse, who gave him mechanical wings, and thus he became archangel? /shrug |

Kelsey Grammar as Beast probably aroused a lot of this reaction: "Kelsey Grammar as Beast?! WHAT?!.....wait. Oh....Ohhhhh. That's perfect."
This casting came out of nowhere, but now that I have the notion in my mind, I can't think of anyone else who could be any more perfect for this role. He seems a little bit old to be Hank McCoy, but he certainly has the voice and the personality. I'm just curious if they introduce him immediately as the huge, blue furball, or if they show him in his human form first. I'm sure a lot of liberties will be taken, but X2 did that as well and I didn't really mind all that much. One thing's for sure, the prosthetics and CGI for that one should be fun. I'm also really curious as to what they're planning on doing as far as Gambit/Rogue now that they've started the romance between Iceman and Rogue. I also am curious how Vinnie will play Juggernaut. I like Vinnie Jones a lot, and I think he'll do well as Juggernaut, but I imagined the role being played by a big, American jock type, and not the badass Englishman type role that Vinnie Jones is so well-known for doing. No matter what, I'm really excited to see if they can improve on X2, which is by far one of my favorite comic book adaptations.

Angel was a male all along. Arad said someone got confused and reported they changed him to a female for the movie when it was never true. (paraphrasing here)

Kelsey Grammar is perfect for Beast, though I think his casting indicates that we'll be getting blue furry beast, and not big footed original beast, and that It'll be CGI. I can't see Grammar, in his 50's, doing anything more strenuous than standing around. The question then becomes, if this is furry blue beast, is it demon-faced beast, or lion-faced beast? Demon faced beast seems more likely, as if they were going to do lion faced, they'd have to have gone with Ron Perlman.

Hahaha. Poor Ron Perlman. When was the last time he got to do a role where his face wasn't covered in prosthetics?

And I agree with Gilda about Grammer: I can hear him as the voice of beast but not him in a body suit as beast. I hope X-3 just has someone else as beast, and with Grammer to add the voice. That may take more work than CG, but it would look better for the audience. So we have Stewart, McKellan, and Grammer's voices all in the same movie... I could just listen and enjoy the movie.

Check out this interview with Avi Arad about the new X-Men movie: http://filmforce.ign.com/articles/615/615826p1.html
He mentions this about Beast: Quote:

Just read in a paper that Kelsey Grammer (Frasier) will play Beast.
As for Angel being a woman...i dont agree but i think they are doing that b/c they see angel as being more of a softer character and they'd like to portray an angel as a female. |
