Deadpool/Weapon XI/Wade Wilson
(Ryan Reynolds)
Although we initially saw him in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine", Ryan Reynolds is in process of bringing Deadpool back to the big screen. Now, it has been stated that this is totally different than what we saw before. And so far through the videos and pictures, it would appear so. Only question is whether or not it is still within the same movieverse.
Magneto/Erik Lehnsherr
(Ian McKellen and Michael Fassbender)
Is there a role McKellen hasn't dominated? He has seemingly passed the torch to Michael Fassbender, and Michael has run with it impressively thus far.
Mystique/Raven Darkholme
(Rebecca Romijn and Jennifer Lawrence)
Rebecca added the sex appeal and showed us she had some depth as an actress. Jennifer Lawrence simply solidified what many had already known. And has taken the proverbial torch amazingly well.
Emma Frost
(January Jones)
Unless the comic book rule on death comes into play, the White Queen's days in this movieverse are done, as Frost was one of the mutants apparently killed by Boliver Trask.
Sebastian Shaw
(Kevin Bacon)
In this movieverse he is on of the original children of the atom (mutants), and had survived decades until meeting his end, and being "replaced" by revenging Magneto as top dog of the Hellfire Club, now known as The Brotherhood.
Azazel
(Jason Flemyng)
In comic books you mix Azazel and Mystique, and you get a baby Nightcrawler. In this movieverse, that isn't likely the case given the teleporter's apparent demise alongside some other members of The Brotherhood.
Pyro/John Allderdyce
(Aaron Stanford)
He made for a perfect counter to the character of Ice Man (Bobby Drake). Upbringing, personalities, even powers. Of course we saw that Pyro should've considered staying in school, but what is truly unclear is his future. Did Phoenix kill him? Did "X-Men: Days Of Future Past" change anything?
Juggernaut/Cain Marko
(Vinnie Jones)
Although they didn't include that he is Xavier's cousin, Juggernaut smashed his way into this movieverse none the less. His only apparent weakness was Shadow Cat and Leech. And like many, his future is a mystery for now.
The Blob/Fred J. Dukes
(Kevin Durand)
We know Fred is The Blob, but don't call him that. He doesn't like it. Hopefully the events of "X-Men: Days Of Future Past" changed his history, otherwise he met his end via Sabertooth.
Bolt/Chris Braldey
(Dominic Monaghan)
Again, "X-Men: Days Of Future Past" may have changed his status in the movieverse, but if not, and he also met his end via Sabertooth, then at least it gave us Deadpool.
Sabertooth/Victor Creed
(Tyler Mane and Liev Schreiber)
Tyler Mane's version hopefully disappeared from this movieverse no matter how (DOFP?), it would be nice to see Liev Schreiber's version (or something similar) if we ever see Wolverine's brother from a different mother.
Agent Zero/David North
(Daniel Henney)
His confidence was apt, and even if you didn't care for Agent Zero, you had to like how Wolverine takes him out in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine".
Lady Deathstrike/Yuriko Oyama
(Kelly Hu)
Although they didn't dive into their history, the adamantium showdown was nice to see. Add Lady Deathstrike to the long list of those who's future is in mystery mode despite her liquid adamantium infused ending.
Toad/Mortimer Toynbee
(Ray Park and Evan Jonigkeit)
Ray Park gave us a more physically involved rendition, and Jonigkeit showed us a younger, grittier version. After his shocking exit in the initial "X-Men", his future was never clarified, and now would possibly mean is still alive and well.
Callisto
(Dania Ramirez)
Instead of leading The Morlocks (like in the comics), she was apart of a small group (Omegas) who joined Magneto's Brotherhood. And Callisto was an integral part of Mag's locating Phoenix. Her future is also up in the air, otherwise it was a shocker a la Storm and a fence.
Kid Omega/Quentin Quire
(Ken Leung)
Due
to a typo, many thought this character to be Quill. However, Ken Leung
was portraying Kid Omega, of the Omegas, before becoming a member of the Brotherhood in "X-Men III: The
Last Stand".
Arclight/Philippa Sontag
(Omahyra Mota)
Arclight was one of the "Omegas" who joined Magneto's Brotherhood, before meeting her untimly end courtesy of Phoenix in "X-Men: The Last Stand". Although, future is unknown. Like many others.
Phat/William Robert Reilly
(Val Saleaumua/Richard Yee)
Why two actors for the same role? Well if asking, then you likely forgot that Phat could change his body mass, and that they chose to show us this via a large actor morphing into a smaller actor.
Spike/Darian Elliot
(Lance Gibson)
Spike helped make for a decent fight scene with Wolverine in "X-Men: The Last Stand". Whether or not his death remains, will of course be a mystery for now.
Ink/Erik Gitter
(Greg Lowe)
We only got a taste of Ink's mutant power in "X-Men: Days Of Futrue Past" where his tattoo's somehow effect others based on what they are. But, he is one of the few who's future is that there is one (for now).
Glob Herman/Robert Herman
(Clayton Dean Watmough)
He was a member of Magneto's Brotherhood in "X-Men: The Last Stand", he had lost his powers due to the "cure", but we all know that was temporary. His status in the mix of things, of course, is unknown.
Angel Salvadore
(Zoe Kravitz)
She was part of the initial crew Xavier and Magneto recruited. She fly into being bad, and spit on being good. Unfortunately, it would appear her status amongst this movieverse is "deceased". Unless the comic book rule comes into play of course.
Riptide/Janos Quested
(Alex Gonalez)
Riptide was a member of Sebastian Shaw's Hellfire Club, and like the rest of the team, joined Magneto to form the Brotherhood. However, unlike many others from the Brotherhood, Riptide's status within this movieverse is unknown. Or he at least wasn't scene or referenced as being dead.
Yukio
(Rila Fukushima)
From enemy to possibly apprentice. That would appear to be Yukio's mark in this movievese, her relationship with Wolverine. Is she alive? Dead? Dunno.
Viper/Dr. Green
(Svetlana Khodchenkova)
She was a mutant in disguise so to speak. However, given her death, she might be hoping for the comic rule or the events of "Days Of Future Past" to save her.
Kenuichio Harada
(Will Yun Lee)
His loyalty was unwavering, except by his level of honor. Which saw him protecting Silver Samurai from Wolverine, to fighting him alongside Wolvie. He also made an appearance of sorts amongst Stryker's files in "X-2: X-Men United". Like many his status is up in the air. If unchanged, he of course is deceased.
Col. William Stryker
(Brian Cox, Danny Huston, Don Creech, and Josh Helman)
We've seen Stryker in different eras throughout this movieverse. Which of course were done by different actors each time. Regardless, William Stryker is a prominent character within this giant story.
Mastermind/Mutant 143/Jason Stryker
(Michael Reid Mckay)
Although never referred to as Mastermind, that is who Jason Stryker was. Now, courtesy of "X-Men: Days Of Future Past", we are even unsure if his father will experiment on him, or enforce William Stryker's desire to do so.
Sen. Robert Kelly
(Bruce Davison)
He went from leading the charge in at least identifying mutants, to actually becoming one thanks to Magneto. "Days Of Future Past" may have altered all of this, but if not, "X-Men" showed that the senator couldn't control his powers and died.
Boliver Trask
(Bill Duke and Peter Dinklage)
Duke was obviously forgettable, Dinklage of course was memorable. Boliver Trask brought us and this movieverse, Sentinels. He also has the rare case of having been dead, and showing us the effects of time travel in changing his status to; Alive. For now at least.
Apocalypse/En Sabah Nur
(Brendan Pedder and Oscar Isaac)
Apocalypse to the X-Men movieverse, is what Thanos is to the Avengers movieverse. Hopefully, "X-Men: Apocalypse" gives us an epic story, but an even more awesome Apocalypse."X-Men: Apocalypse" is still in casting mode, but there are some new editions, replacements, and of course, the rumored. Only the "rumored" were left off of the list, but everyone else is in there. Even though they haven't filmed anything yet, and it is Hollywood, and there could be changes at anytime in the process. One of the heavier rumors has Channing Tatum playing the role of Remy Lebeau aka Gambit. We stated the characters that even appeared as background characters (Doug Ramsey, etc) and the younger versions of characters, as this could be the only time we get to see them. Even the recently cast Jubilee has appeared two other times before, by two different performers. If Lana Kondor drops out or is a victim of editing in "X-Men: Apocalypse", then Jubilee's "history" in film falls on the previous two. If any of this makes sense.
Bottom line, this movieverse is quite large character wise, and still has many, many characters that have yet to see the life on the big screen (Cable, Stryfe, etc, etc). It isn't as big as Marvel Studios "Avengers" movieverse, but it is much bigger than DC Comics. It explains why FOX won't let go, and Marvel Studios is dying to get the movie rights for "X-Men" universe. It's massive all in itself, and contains some of Marvel Comics biggest money makers (Wolverine, Deadpool, etc).
