SEQUELS - BATMAN AND X3
Heard some interesting news over the radio today. It seems that they are already lining up actors to play Bat-villains in the sequel to Batman Begins. It was reported that Hugh Jackman (of X-Men fame) is being considered for the role of Harvey Dent/Two-Face, while Paul Bettany (most recently of Firewall) is a strong contender for the Joker. Jackman as Two-Face? Jury's still out on that one but I totally agree that Paul Bettany could play the Joker and come of as both chilling and charming.
X-Men III: The Last Stand will of course revolve around the Dark Phoenix saga as Jean Grey is resurrected and poses a threat to mutantkind. The regular cast of characters is back (although James Marsden/Cyclops is so way down the billing, you think the producers were getting back at him for going with Bryan Singer to make Superman Returns) and a whole new slew of familiar X-faces are coming in. It's well known that Kelsey Grammer (TV's Frasier) will be playing the lovable Dr. McCoy - but did you know that we'll also be seeing characters like the Angel, Moira McTaggert, Leech, Juggernaut (Vinnie Jones will play him), Madrox, Callisto, Bolivar Trask, Jubilee and Psylocke (played by Filipina Mei Melancon)? Ever since Singer went up, up and away to do the Man of Steel, expectations are low for this film.
