Xavier has the X-Men, Magneto has the Brotherhood, Moira has her own students, The Helfire Club has mutant members and Emma has the Hellions.I wonder how many mutants we'll see in the movie?

Has this Tony Rich done anything?The only one I know is from the Tony Rich Project, and it's not him.

Yeah, agree with deadpool72 on a movie that neither you or him know nothing about or you're automatically not a fan. I'm supporting this because I want it to be good, but since I want to see a good X-film, I'm not a fan. Ya learn something everyday. I read mutant comics every month because I hate X-Men, I did not know that.

Fu*k a Thomas. This movie sound plainer than a cracker. We want real x-men characters!! Cyclops god damn it!! the only good aspect of this film is that it may cover a lot of the civil rights/persecution aspect which was not explored adequetly in the present x men films but still, we want the beloved characters we grew up with. so far this is a download, i will not pay to see this, not until i see a classic x men character besides beast...
