X-Men (film series)/Trivia: Difference between revisions

 

* [[Alternate DVD Commentary]]: [[Riff Trax]] did a few for ''X-Men'', ''X2'' and ''The Last Stand.''

[[Ear Worm|"Magneto!"]] }}

* [[Ascended Fanon]]: Used in-universe. The young students come up with the idea of having [[Rule of Cool|cool]] [[Code Name|code names]]. When Charles and Erik show up, Raven (er, Mystique) suggests they go by "Professor X" and "Magneto" respectively. [[Foregone Conclusion|Both eventually go along with it]]. Moira similarly coins the term X-Men.

* [[Fake Nationality]] - The Canadian Wolverine and the American young!Cyclops are both played by Australian actors. [[Fake American|Americans]] Xavier and Juggernaut and the Polish Magneto are all played by British actors (although in the case of Juggernaut and Xavier, their nationalities are never mentioned and they don't hide their natural accents so one could assume that the movie versions were simply from England)- which also includes the Scottish James McAvoy and the Irish Michael Fassbender. The German Nightcrawler is played by the Scottish Alan Cumming. Storm, who is from Morocco, and the Canadian Sabretooth are both played by Americans (by two different Americans, in the case of Sabretooth). The Americans Rogue and Jean Grey are played by a Canadian and a Dutch actress respectively, while the American Iceman is played by a Canadian. The Russian Colossus is also played by a Canadian but like the Xavier and Juggernaut examples above, the movie version is never given a clear nationality. Phew.

** In ''First Class'', Magneto is German-Irish and Xavier is Scottish (and the nationality is still unclear, as he lives his childhood in New York but graduates in Oxford). Not to mention Nick Hoult (English), and Rose Byrne (Australian) playing Americans.

** For ''First Class'', [[Atonement|Robbie Turner]]/[[The Chronicles of Narnia|Mr Tumnus]] as Professor Xavier and [[300|Stelios]]/[[Inglourious Basterds|Lt. Archie Hicox]] as Magneto

*** [[Skins|Tony Stonem]] as Beast
