The X-Men motion pictures have been fairly good, a minimum of the first couple anyway. They launched us to a cool group of mutant superheroes earlier than we have been inundated with comedian e-book motion pictures and heroes left and proper. The first movie, which was launched in 2000, featured a star-studded forged that included classically educated actors like Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan, in addition to academy award-winners Halle Berry and Anna Paquin, and different main Hollywood stars Hugh Jackman, James Marsden, Rebecca Romijn, Famke Janssen, and extra. The motion pictures have been action-packed, and the characters appeared actually cool, however that side of the movie got here at a worth.
In a 2020 video interview with Vanity Fair (through /Film), actor James Marsden, who performed Cyclops in the movie, opened up about the restrictive costumes he and Hugh Jackman (Wolverine) had to put on, saying:
“Hugh and I, we put our suits on for the very first time and they were these one-piece, leather suits that had no side-to-side movement at the waist because it was all just one piece, and we had to vault over this wall and none of us could get over the wall because our suits were so stiff. Add to that, that I couldn’t see out of these glasses or the visor that I was wearing. I’ve never felt less like a superhero. I think, at some point, we all were scared that we might lose our jobs on the first one.”
He went on to speak about how unsure the forged felt about making a superhero film at the time:
“During the process, no one really felt like it was working. Like, this could be cool or it could be a disaster. And we had our premiere on Ellis Island, overlooking the Twin Towers with fireworks going off and it was just like, this is what I imagined when I was a kid of what Hollywood, or having success in Hollywood, would look like. It was pretty spectacular and a lot of fun to watch it take off. And then even more fun to step into the second one.”
It’s cool that the motion pictures ended up being good, and all of it labored out with the costumes. X-Men is accessible to stream on Starz, and obtainable to hire or purchase on Amazon.
