X-MEN: FIRST CLASS actor Jason Flemyng has answered questions from the X-Perts on the official X-Men Movies Facebook page!
Was it fun to play the role and what challenges where there?
“The fun was in the fighting – I knew very little of it would be seen, but we did 8 weeks of sword and fight training. We could have shot a whole 90 mins of Azazel battles!”
We all know that Azazel of the comics becomes Nightcrawler’s father. Is this touched upon in the film?
“Not yet, hope they get them together in the next one, love Alan.”
How much focus will be put on the romance between Azazel and Mystique?
“None. Unfortunately she only had eyes for Beast.”
How was the look for your character done in the movie? Was it all CGI? Or was it make-up?
“Make-up 4 hours on, 30 mins off, tail CGI!!”
So either he’s misleading us, or there’s not actually going to be any relations towards him, mystique and nightcrawler? Furthermore she’s getting with Beast?!?! :S
I’m all for this film, it looks amazing…. and I’m definitely for a director doing his own interpretation on the comic book, but if you’re going to have all the characters in it why would you miss an opportunity relate it to the comics?? :S If this is true, I’m not even sure the point of azeazal’s character being there whatsoever??
Right you are,
I am so shocked to hear this!!!
Mystique and beast? What the hell!?
But there has to be a connection……!!!
Then who was with Mystique in the bed in the trailer?
Shocking, but I am still wanting to watch this movie!
Yea I thought it was Azazel who was going to be in bed with her
Yeah I know right!!!
But It is Beast, look at the new trailers, you see them talking together near a bed.
