Superhero Hype, one stop shopping for all your superhero movie information needs:

no Ethan Embry as Nightcrawler. instead, it's Alan Cumming.

and Aaron Stanford, who SHH says will be Pyro, is quoted: "The thing is, the character of Pyro is so completely different. In the comic book he's this Australian ex-pulp novelist professional criminal and in the movie it's a very different character."

i don't think i can like someone who speaks like this: "I think everyone loved Wolverine, you know what I'm saying?" ick.


on The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen [source]: Our League source advised us that the inclusion of a Yankee character "was because the studio wanted an American (character) to break up the all British thing." But why take such a radical departure from the original Mark Twain creation by making him a police detective? Our source explained that since "Twain's sequel was called Tom Sawyer, Detective" it makes sense that when Sawyer grew up "he'd be an All American cop." feh! wanna get terroristicalous on a studio exec for that!
