Prof Xavier yes, Scott Summers no... I never liked Scott. The last stand was so tragic and I was a little disappointed. I was hoping to see Gambit and I didn't like the fact that they never mentioned Nightcrawler, its like he just disappeared.
First of all Xavier is not dead watch through the credits and u will find that out. Second Cyc may not be dead they never showed him killed the just implied it, which means he may return in future films.
The death of any X-man is tragic and sad, except for Scott Summers. Does anybody really like him? We also lost Jean Grey - for the second time... I wonder if they will figure out a way to bring her back? If Scott Summers is brought back since they never found a body, then Jean would have to come back (how, I don't know). How could there be a Scott without a Jean? I agree, Gambit is one of my favorite X-men and he should have been included in one of the movies. Professor X has to return if another X-men movie is made.
How many times has jean/phoenix died in the comics and came back? I think we are good to go for a few more resurrections in the movies! I greatly enjoyed the third movie. All my friends said I'd hate it because I was such a fan of the comics. The "death" of cyclops, xavier, and jean took a big detour from the comic stories. I enjoyed it all the more when I realized I couldn't really tell what was going to happen.
Bringing Jean back will be easy. In the comics Sinister created a clone of Jean Grey (Madelyn Pryor, aka The Goblin Queen). So all that is needed would be a short explanation of this in the beginning of the film.Which also by the way introduces the key villein in the fourth (and not final) film. And I will say once again watch the very end of the credits Prof. X is still ALIVE he will return for any future films.
Well, for all you Gambit fans, he will be appearing the X Men Origins: Wolverine movie. Which is tentatively scheduled to be released on May 1st 2009 as you may already know. The actor Taylor Kitsch will be portraying him. He is not really a well known actor. However, in case you want to know he did play the part of Pogue Parry in The Covenant. Also, Ryan Reynolds is slated to play the role of Deadpool.
Yeah, I can hardly wait for the new X-men movie prequel. Reading the various websites. it looks like there will be two, one with Wolverine and one with Magneto. Both should be great. And with Gambit expected to be in the Wolverine movie, it just may be the best X-men movie yet.
