I wish it was that easy...Okay so we are all mixed up over the ideas that are coming out for casting and characters in X-MEN: FIRST CLASS. I have come up with an idea for Fox to make this movie understandable for to be connected to the original X-Men trilogy and still tell the story from the actual comic book. Everyone is complaining because the team is not consisting of Cyclops, Jean Grey, Beast, Iceman, and Angel. Professor Xavier and Magneto were a given and were casted early. But it turns out, based on the trilogy, Iceman and Angel cannot be in this movie without unraveling everything they have already done and rebooting the series. A reboot would be okay but wouldn't work due to the other X-Men projects in production like X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE 2 and X-MEN ORIGINS: DEADPOOL. So what Fox needs to do is use some of the original team and work out a few small details to make it work. It is easy to put Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Beast in the movie as teenagers and Beast not having blue fur. But there also needs to be 2 or 3 more characters added. I say 3 because 5 for a team isn't set in stone after the changes that have already been made. First member to add and pretend was an original would be Storm. You can add a couple extra like maybe Banshee and Emma Frost. If you put Havok in it, he should just be a little kid who is shown as Cyclops' family. And if you make them go the route of the origin story from the comic, it should work out pretty well. Just have a Wolverine cameo in the background for kicks and giggles. And to tie it into X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE, you can put Gambit in a cameo too.
