Spotted on IMDb ...

Halle Berry only agreed to star in the second X-Men sequel after studio bosses agreed to give her a bigger role in the forthcoming movie. The Oscar-winner was reluctant to reprise her role as Storm in X-Men 3 - but producer Lauren Shuler convinced her by boosting her character's involvement. Schuler says, "I love working with her. We would only write a huge role for her, so she's right in that respect. We would make sure that would happen." Hugh Jackman, Rebecca Romijn-Stamos and Famke Janssen are also expected to reprise their roles in film, set to begin shooting next year.

Ugh. I suppose pointing out to the producers that they could have spent that extra time and money on Gambit or Colossus or Beast and made the audience infinitely happier would just go right over their heads.

EDIT: You know how they have those DVD players that'll just edit out objectionable material for children? They should have DVD players that do that for adult movie lovers. So if I want to push a button and replace Halle Berry with a better Storm or force Kevin Costner to speak with an English accent or entirely negate Sylvester Stallone from existence, I have that option.

I'm pretty sure I remember pointing at the screen at some point and going "OOH! That must be Jimmy Proudstar!" while my boyfriend marvelled at my uber-nerd status. Doug and Sam are easy - unless Sam's blasting, you can point at any normal-lookin' guy in the school and convince yourself it's Cypher or Cannonball. That'll at least tide you over. :D

We do need an Illyana, though. But do we want cute, innocent small child Yana, or TEH HELLBITCH!Yana?

I bet HELLBITCH!Yana would be sexah. It's a law somewhere.
