Article: Speculation: Puck To Appear In X-Men:Days Of Future Past Film? *UPDATED*

True... but that would just be such a random thing to do.
Which wouldn't stop filmmakers doing it.

This film doesn't have to stay true to the comics in the slightest, and is only in the continuity of First Class.

And as we all know, First Class played pretty fast and loose with continuity. For example:
Banshee: In the comics - an experienced, Irish, ex-Interpol agent. In the movie - a young wise-cracking American teenager.
Mystique: In the comics - an evil, vicious bad-guy. In the movie - an innocent, rather sympathetic "kid sister" to Professor X.
Sebastian Shaw: In the comics - an evil power-hungry American. In the movie - an evil ex-Nazi.
Moira MacTaggart: In the comics - a Scottish physician / geneticist. In the movie - an American undercover CIA agent.

I wouldn't be surprised if they have him playing Rachel Summers.

Now that I have read what Alphan East wrote, I am changing my mind; he's gonna be Juggernaut! lol

Well, you're right, of course.
I've been wondering if they're gonna play the angle that Bolivar Trask considers himself disabled by dwarfish; therefore he envies (and tries to kill) those with extra abilities - mutants.

Oh First Class took majority liberties from the comics (Still a great movie though)

Havok, who is Cyclops younger brother joined the team after Scott, but in the movie is now older and joined the X-Men first.

Angel also joined the X-Men much much later

Azazel being there in that manner

Darwin joined the X-Men when the original X-Men (led by Cyclops) were captured and was sent to rescue them (he "died" during that mission).

etc.

Absolutely, I actually enjoyed the movie for the action and story. Acting was well done, especially Michael Fasssbender... he's quickly becoming a favourite of mine. Loved him in both Inglorious Basterds and A Dangerous Method.
I simply had to watch it from a certain point of view... that being, to basically forget everything that I had read in the comics.
If you can do that, its a very well done film.

You'll find that many of the films to which we cling depend greatly on one's point of view.

Forget the X-Men comics, and 'vibe' of the 60s, and you can love it.
And I do!

I wasn't expecting much from it due to how much I disliked X-Men 3, but I really enjoyed First Class.

And now watching The Last Stand I don't actually mind it as much as I did. If I forget about Juggernaut. And Cyclops' death. And Xavier's death.

[Le Messor]

I've never thought X-Men 3 was a bad movie per se... just nowhere near as good as the two that preceeded it.

I really liked First Class a lot! I was completely sucked in to Magneto's character and his whole take on the situation. I wanted to join the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants!

I HATED X3 so much, just unncessary deaths (though Professor X did return in the end) and the chracterization was so off.

I HATED X3 so much, just unnecessary deaths (though Professor X did return in the end) and the characterization was so off.

I agree. I liked X1 a fair amount, thought X2 had some decent moments, and thought X3 completely ruined everything. That was why I was so happy when they rebooted the franchise with First Class. If X3 had been good, I probably never would have bought into the First Class movie, despite excellent acting and scripting; but with the major suckage of that movie, it made accepting anything new and re-invented that came along that much easier.

According to this:

definitely not Puck.

To be fair, I was 99% sure it wouldn't be Puck when I posted it, but it's nice to see the internet ablaze and people discovering Puck through rumours...
