XMenFilms is reporting that CHARMED's Eric Dane will play Multiple Man in the upcoming X3. Dane apparently has approximately 50 extra's for his duplicates, and his character is allied with the Brotherhood, but seems to be apart of Omega Red's faction.

The site is also offering first look images of Omega Red, Gaunlet, and a Soldier. In addition, they have posted pictures of the location where Wolverine will be fighting.

I think the movie is getting real over crowded and no more time for character development. Its going to fast and furious action with mutant power here and there. We got multiple man, colossus, shadowcat, angel, cyclops (who would quit the team in the beginning the movie sort of the same with the comic book after Jean Grey died), wolverine, beast, storm, rogue, iceman, jubilee, prof x. Sadly still no gambit. And that is only the x-men. We get to see scarlet witch and quicksilver as well plus omega red and gauntlet. Do we still have a movie, definitely.

Oh yeah I forgot Juggernaut and Avalanche also in the mix of things. Its x-men vs brotherhood vs dark phoenix. the strong survive the weak perished. X-Men III- the Dark Phoenix Saga.

I agree with the overcrowding, but I didn't really expect much character development in this movie anyway. They just have too many characters. X-men is my all time favorite comic book, but this movie seems as if Ratner is going for action and spectacle, instead of a good story. One thing the comic book always had was a great story and dialogue. I had been waiting for a movie adaption for years, but they just haven't been able to deliver the same magic that makes the comic so good. Maybe because there are just too many characters, Spidey was done well, because he is the only real main character, but X-men is an ensemble cast, even though everyone seems to focus on Logan in the movies. It probably sounds stupid but a Xmen should be done with a Traffic or Ocean's 11 influence. Those movies are able to have a whole bunch of main characters, tell a good story, and it be entertaining.

I wonder if Ratner can somehow get Jackie Chan and Chris tucker in this movie as well. What the hell is ratner going for? What kind of budget will you have with so many damn mutants on screen?

I think Ratner is filling up the screen with tons of characters to make up for his lack of skills as a director. It's sort of like a guy who buys the biggest, fastest sports car to overcomensate for his "lack of growth."

When we finally get to see this in theatres, it's going to be all "bang boom," which isn't bad, but when the movies over, I bet there'll be a lot of head-scratching.

After the first two X-Men movies many fans complained there wasn't enough action, that Brian Singer had too much dialogue in his films. I thought both movies were pretty well balanced and complimented the comics very well. Now, with Ratner directing, it seems like he's going to give us a wall-to-wall action movie with just enough storyline to advance the film's actions sequences. This is fine by me, because I've been waiting to see Cyclops (or any other X-Man for that matter) actually team a team into battle. Say what you will about the Fantastic Four movie, but at the end of the film the team-up on Doom was like something right out of the comic book. I say throw as many mutants into the movie as you can to give it that huge scope. I'm looking forward to this film more and more with each little tidbit I hear.

Stop giving Ratner that much credit. Tihs film is going to suck really bad folks, and if you are a fan of the comic books, you will finally see the film you feared the first one would be.

So is Omega Red fighting for the humans? I know he was a government creation in the comic. Or does this mean we have the X-Men, the Brotherhood, Dark Phoenix, the humans w/ sentinels, AND Omega Red's team? Geez, and you thought Michael Bay made big explosion movies...

don't worry , remember that it has been said that the danger room is in this one so some of the villians could be sims in the danger room.

I liked the first two movies, but except for the scenes with Wolverine the action was pretty slim. Maybe it's time for a mutant team on team smackdown.
