Graydon Creed needs to be in a future X-MEN movie!

The X-MEN film universe has introduced us to many characters from the comics, but there are still a ton of them waiting to get their moment on the big screen. In a series of posts, I’ll give my top picks of characters I’d like to see in future X-Men movies. There’s the obvious and the not-so obvious…

Graydon Creed

Might seem like a weird choice, but there’s a lot of potential here. In the comics, Graydon Creed (Wiki Bio) is the son of Mystique and Sabretooth. He is born human and abandoned by his mutant parents. When he gets older he learns of his heritage and grows resentful of all mutants. That resentment colors his outlook for the rest of his life. He starts a dangerous group called the Friends of Humanity, who are dedicated to opposing mutant civil rights by committing acts of terrorism against peaceful mutants and sympathizers and using the acts of violent mutants to rally support for their cause.

I can easily see this character fitting into a X-MEN: FIRST CLASS sequel or X-MEN 4 with an amazing plot. Think about it. In “First Class” the world first learned about mutants on a global scale. Setting up a character like Graydon could make for some thrilling moments on film. Sure, Mystique can’t be his birth mother, but Sabertooth still can (he’s really old, right?). Or you can keep things intact and do a post-X3 take. Towards the end of “The Last Stand” things were finally looking on the bright side, with the President appointing Beast as ambassador to the United Nations and Angel flying freely without fear. But we all know that won’t last long…

James Franco…are you available?
