According to Bryan Singer, Angela Bassett was originally offered the part of Storm before production began on the original X-Men, but she demanded an obscene amount of money and they went with Berry.

Storm is my favorite character in the X-Men family, and I'm happy that Berry stood up for herself and told producers to give her character a more substantial part in the movie other than one or two lines intermittenly. According the the makers, she is an integral part of TLS, and I couldn't be happier.

You may still get the chance. They have hinted that this may not be it. They are promoting it as the last act of a trilogy and want to see how people react to the new director taking over for Singer. I think if this movie does well or better then the first they will do more but it all depends. Berry has said this is it for her and Jackman is doing his Wolverine spinoff but did say he would be back. All the cast is up for renewals but they did say the actor playing Juggernaut in this film has been signed through a possible 6th fil so who knows.

This movie looks great and is my number one film to see. I am an X-Men die hard and I heard this film is supposed to be epis, emotional, character driven, and action packed. They are trying to make it so the X-Men show more of their powers and so that diehards get their dream film. Famke Janessen is going to rock this film!!!

I'd've dished out the money for Angela over Halle. Halle just does not do that character justice. Ororo Munroe is supposed to be this kick ass regal figure, and Halle doesn't give her that. Angela can play the tough, take no [!@#$%^&*] attitude that Storm has.

My favorites are Magneto and Wolverine so I'm been happy with the two movies. I'm sure they'll be showcased a lot in X3 too and I can't wait for their prequels.

So can Halle. They just haven't given her anything to do in X1 and X2.

I agree. Love the dynamic between Jean/Scott/Logan. I know that with James Marsden in a major role for Superman, that he will have only a limited role in the film unfortunately. I just hope they don't screw up the Dark Phoneix Saga (BTW, Marvel has re-released the original Dark Phoenix Saga in a graphic novel. Check your local bookstore).

    • What did happen to Beth between 86 and 89? Did she have amnesia?
    • I actually thought he came off as younger. It's so hard to buy Martin as Nicole and Ted's son unless they had him when they were 12.
    • @chrisml Isn't remarkable that, on a soap whose brand is built on twists and mysteries, that Raven's last straw was as simple as Logan saying that she was incapable of loving Jamey.  In the episode when Raven exit's and leaves Jamey with April, I can remember feeling the subtext that Raven is also trying to talk herself into leaving him behind.  There's so much in that little scene.  She's trying to stick it to Logan for saying she was a bad mother.  She's both granting April's wish, and damning her with the old adage of being careful what she wished for.  And, she's hinting to Draper that she's going to boff his father. It remains my favorite scene, and it still blows my mind that was not the end of that episode.  
    • Oh lord not Drew just figured out it was both Nina and Portia that set him up. Willow WILL never leave this man. Ric taking the case purely just to spite Sonny is [!@#$%^&*].ing hilarious.
    • And in addition to Patti being de-aged, she was no longer a nurse, divorced from Len(fair enough) and her two children were not seen and barely mentioned. So basically she was a totally new character. For newer viewers it didn't matter but any loyal viewers would have been wondering about all the changes with Patti. Sarah Whiting always puzzled me. The writers finally decide to acknowledge Jo's family and do so by making up a never mentioned adopted teen. Why not just bring in Tracey, Jo's actual grandaughter? As for Liza, perhaps it would have been wise to rest the character when Sherry left. They were big shoes to fill and her Liza was so identified with Travis. I don't recall what was going on in the story at that time but if they knew Sherry was leaving, write it so Liza would leave town to care for an ailing Janet and take a breather with the character for a few months.
    • Ahh interesting. Yeah, that's sad for A-M. I will say, he and Nick became fast friends when Susan started working at Spaulding. A-M/Lucy/Nick/Susan had a lot of double dates in those 7 months. A-M was Nick's best man at his wedding to Susan, which now that I think about it, is odd that he wouldn't have considered Fletcher. I remember those two were so close at the paper, and even living together with Ben. Once Tangie left SF, Nick left the paper, and Fletcher/Holly were rarely seen... so I guess they felt that friendship wasn't shown often enough anymore (which again, lazy writing).
    • I honestly don't think Alan-Michael ever really had a friend on the show. Maybe Cameron or Samantha, but otherwise... *Cameron was a high school friend who ended up dating teenage Dinah after she broke up with A-M. Samantha is Phillip's biological sister, who A-M treated like a sister. Interestingly enough, they were born the same week on the show in 1981, but A-M ends up being older than her when she returns to town in '89.
    • I thought he was very cute too, and a likeable presence even though on paper Cliff was a prick. I wonder if he was well-liked by viewers or someone at the show as there's a point in these episodes where he could have been written out and was not.
    • I'm not a Derek fan at all (and not even all that much of an Ashley fan, but man has she become awful in their relationship--like she's not even trying.  But also I admit, I don't think I'd ever live with someone, even someone I was married to (I know they're not married) in a bachelor apartment unless I had to.  Even just a one bedroom would make a big difference.  I'd probably end up hiding in the bathroom a lot

    • Going back to this, I'm even more confused why Amanda would say that only a year later (lazy writers), because I'm watching April 29, 1996 right now and literally all of the current on-air Spauldings (Alan, Alex, Amanda, A-M) and Coopers (Buzz, Lucy, Frank, Eleni) are on a plane together for Lucy/A-M's wedding. Along with Reva (which right now makes sense because she's married to Buzz), Dahlia (so out of place, but by default because they can't let a high school kid they just took in stay home alone), and a very random Rick (he's barely had any interaction with any of these characters all year haha).  It's like a madhouse on that plane, which is pretty comical because most of them don't get along... but they very much know each other. Still miffed that Bridget is totally forgotten here. And David. And Nick/Susan! Couldn't they have waited to fire them until after this wedding?  It was only like 2 months later. They had to make Alan be A-M's best man (which is wild to me) bc A-M doesn't even have any real friends on the show right now.
