Nightcrawler's Dad Will Be In X-Men: First Class

There's going to be more mutants you can throw a stick at.

  You can always count on X-Men: First Class to keep popping up in the news. There's been yet another character cast for the movie. Although, I'm not sure if you can call this one an actual mutant.  
 

No Caption Provided
Superherohype has reported that Jason Flemyng will be playing a small role as Azazel. Azazel has been described as a "teleporter" and of course we all know he is also Nightcrawler's father. Apparently Flemyng was considered for Beast in X-Men 3 when Matthew Vaughn was attached to that. Looks like Vaughn has chosen another role for Flemyng.  
 
With the appearance of Azazel, what does this mean for the movie? We know Mystique is supposed to be in it. Will we be hearing Nightcrawler casting news soon?

Seriously.  You know you're doomed to fail when turning Chuck Austen comics into movies is the best you can do. 
 
  
 
 

 
Mystique is Nightcrawler's father.

Sony SUCKS. I wish they would give up their marvel license because they are just making crap now while Marvel is actually making good movies like Iron Man. 
 
X men Origins... SpiderMan 3.... Enough is enough Sony. Go make a Crash Bandicoot movie

  Lol, I bet when Fox's license expires Marvel will probably do an epic reboot of the X- Men movie franchise.

X-Men: First Class - now featuring characters that only diehard fans will recognize and even they don't care about.

this movie enrages me 
thanks Fox, thank you for over saturating the comic book movie genre with SO MUCH crap that soon no one will care enough to finance one for another decade 
you know, before they ever got a chance to make movies about characters people might actually care about 
Fox, you just replaced Glenn Beck as #3 on my Sh!t list

I always wanted a movie with more "deepness" from the comicbooks, but this is a little to deep for me - i don´t even know this guy.....

This film seems like it's going to die, as far as the fans are concerned, before it even finishes being made.

Open on a suburban house with a white picket fence.
Inside we see a red demon with pointy ears and animal horns on his armor.  He calls down his son from upstairs.
 Azazel:  "Well time for school son."
Nightcrawler:  "I don't want to go dad!"
Azazel:  "Now son, school may seem scary but it is important.  And you will make friends."
Nightcrawler:  "Ok, if you say so.  Thanks dad"

WAIT JUST A MIN! !!! if he has the same size role he did in Kick-Ass then maybe he is just in a few seconds of the film and they are showing flashes of a BABY boom. you dont know the context HALF these characters are going to be filmed in. this movie isnt a reboot and is just another story with interesting characters. lets see what this director and team can pull together. stardust was awesome and this will be awesome cuz the x-men are awesome. their  story has only be written since 1963 and has been changed 100s of times. let this creative team be creative.

UGhhhhhhhajkkagiaqw23rkanwñlpIO!!!!! WHY!?!?!?! 
 
Seriously guys, anybody know WHEN fox rights expire?? I want my real x-men movie before it loses all the credit on the big screen... 
 
I hate when my friends that don't read comics watch this films and when they ask me I have to explain them EVERYTHING that is wrong with EVERY character they use... and it usually takes me a lot of time... one thing is make some licenses wich is good to make the plot fluid, and another thing is use the names of the characters to make a history that hasn't any remote sense or nothing to do with any of them.
 
I was thinking on watch this film only to make sure my friends don't get all this wrong again (Wolverine Origins and X3 were specially hard to fix on their minds), but I'm afraid it could upset me more than any other film I've ever seen so I'm starting to think that I'm not going to see this film never.

in fact i love darwin and most of the others cast in the movie, i do hate Azazel but i hate most villians in the marvel u. but we have to have them. hell he might work with the hellfires club in the 1600's for all we know and they will change it in the comics 4 months later. you just never know. they made it so gambit was around during the days  of weapon x so that it made comics sell during the movie origins. and what about when they redid god love man kills for X2 or lets not forget Joss Wedon's cure for mutants in x3... all the movies have been whats going on in the comics now or what they want to sell...

The worst of all: according to the wolverine origins videogame, on "this universe" the father of nightcrawler was John Wraith instead of Azazel. I'm suspecting  they are going to use azazel as a generic teleporter villain with only the power of teleportation and nothing about his origins (when for example, vanisher, could be a better fit for this role). 
 
And please, repeating my question of 2 minutes ago: please, tell me if you know when they loose the rights and Marvel Studios can make a real movie.

@BuddyBulson:
those are good points 
I just dont' know why they can't at least use the source material for reference instead of just using the characters and creating something that they think will have broad appeal and make more money 
they shoot themselves in the foot almost every time 
because the fairweather fans they make that will pay for the movie and buy the DVD and the videogame don't have the same staying power or overall impact as making a good movie that appeals to audiences, fans and novice and is also a good movie 
it's the "making GOOD movies" part I wish they'd get back to 
I don't want to like movie on general principal 
no more, "well, I like marvel, so I guess it's cool"

i played the game id i didnt notice they said that John Wraith was his father, im sure the director will say he didnt know, and roll with what ever, who knows he might father someone else in the film. he did come to earth and screw like 100's and 100's of chicks with the x-gene. as for when does fox not have the rights? i donno. but i think in 2032 people will forget that these movies didnt live up to the comics or tv shows, cuz there will be that many more x-men movies and shows out for them to live up to.

listen shadow, i am going to say i agree with you to a point as well, i hated some things they chose to do with x3. but the way i look at these films are they have nothing to do with the comics, and they are stand alone. not many people are going to watch this and start reading the comics, sad but true. so they take these characters and role with it. but i know for a fact that stardust and kick ass rocked!  which Jane Goldman and Matthew Vaughn both worked on together . lets live the secret and give the movie a chance first!

ill vote once i have seen it, i happen to be very excited about this film, i have every single x-title and issue since 96' so i know pretty much EVERYTHING x-men, so if they are going to make a movie id like to see what stories they compiled together to tell it. most people who trash talk movies they know nothing about will at least know something about it... which no one does so please go post about how bad the next batman movie will be
