Young X-men would do incredible at the Box Office! But... you have to be careful who you cast and which characters you include. I know many friends of mine who became huge fans of the younger Rogue as well as Bobby "Iceman" Drake. If Marvel wanted to keep the whole X-men train going, they would have to include a great line-up in this movie.

I definitely see Rogue, Iceman, Shadowcat, and Colossus headlining the movie. Perhaps we could see a bit of a Generation X twist with Banshee as one of the teachers. Toss in his daughter Siren and a couple villains... maybe some "Dropouts" such as Avalanche and perhaps Magneto's kids Wanda and Pietro.

Oh and one other addition... Lockheed the dragon! The novel for X-men 3 (written by Chris Claremont) included Lockheed, although he didn't play a huge roll or anything. It would just be great to have Kitty find him and create the friendship they have in the comics. Bryan Singer did all he could to make the X-men his own, perhaps it's time us fans get more of an accurate, by the (comic) book type of X-men movie!
