My 3 reasons as to why NC wasn't in X1

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is just the beginning - talk Marvel on the big screen, small screen and everything in between. DC Cinematic Universe and independent comic creations are welcome, too - The Walking Dead, Preacher, etc.

My 3 reasons as to why NC wasn't in X1

Post by Nightfollower »

While at worh t'day, naturally, I was thinking anything to do with Nightcrawler. Then the ideas came to me. Here are my 3 reasons as to why Nightcrawler wasn't in the first movie and I certainly hope this thread has been put into the right thingo.

1) The guys who made the 1st movie were secretly planning Nightcrawlers costume and role. They took ages because Nighty had to be made to perfection.

2) They had top secret autitions for the role of Nighty, but they could not find anyone good enough to play him. They were after the perfect actor, and since they could not find the perfect actor, they chose to not have Nighty in X1 and continue their search for the perfect actor.

3) Since they couldn't find the perfect actor, they realised during their search that they should save the best for last and have X2 as a mega great movie considering a mega great character was in it.

Of course, they're not the real reasons, but you never know....

Hehehe... I wish... Nightie could be perfect. Infortunately, all the time that they gave it... I know I wouldn't be happy with the NC content. *sigh*
Ja... Brian Singer told us in an interveiw that they were working with an itsy-bitsy budget. I wish that they had been working on Nightie. *again, she sighs*

i think they just didn't really know who he is and if they didn't not well enough and not enough to develop the character yet. THey needed to introduce the originals before they went scamperig off and dragging in X-men from all comic ages. :) but that's just my opions. :D

I like to think he wasn't in the first one because, they only looked at the characters that were most recognizeable with the biggest fan following.

Then, after the first film a WHOLE bunch of Nightcrawler fans surfaced on the internet and the movie makers realized what a great character he is!

If he did get cast-rolled in the first X1 movie, would he get a minor role, ala Jubilee and Shadowcat?

I still stand by my opinion that that was NOT Nightcrawler on the basketball court. I still say it was Quicksilver, if any recognizable character at all.

Yer right, Crawler. It wasn't Nighty on the B.Court. If it was, there would be a BAMF and some wisps of Brimstone.

Why on earth would NC be doing in a Basketball court? All and all, it could be a kid playing another mutant.

Exactly. But last time they didn't have enough.

This thread was made for fun, okay? Just my thoughts on possible reasons. Don't screw it up by repeating facts.

Or the REAL reason he wasn't in the movie: They didn't want to have to provide a doctor for fainting fans after a dose of healthy Kurtage!

I know Beast and Blob were going to be in X1, but they were cut due to Budget constraints, and the fact that the cast was large enough as it was.

i read in some magazine they only had 75 million dollars for the first movie, for a movie with such speciall effects is a poor amount i think, but Singer did the best :)

I'd say X-Men: Evolution helped big time in getting Kurt in the new movie...

I remember reading somewhere another Nighty fan reckoned Kurt wasn't in the first one because it'd make things way to easy...

Like when they're all trapped in Liberty's head...he could have just :bamf:ed free and then :bamf:ed the bad guys out over the harbour or something...

Or...when they're arguing about how to get Rogue out of that machine, he could have just :bamf:ed up there and :bamf:ed her out...

yes it sounds like :)
sometimes i pictured him at the first movie, in the scene where Logan wakes up confused and tries to run away, i can picture Nighty coinciding with him and the professor asking him to stop Logan, and a spectaculat fight is between them.

???Alzeimers is waving????;)

I agree with all people they say:" not enought buget for in the first "-and i looked at the scene with the Basketballfield more than one time and i would say: no Crawler...look at him. He didn´t look like one ,act like one....
Im very happy they put Kurti in in this...and a little secret wish of mine: Beast.
Maybe in the next...;)

well we talked a LOT about the movie back at the monument back when Ray Park and Luke Goss were still the top casting guesses and before that, when no one was really sure if he'd even be in the movie at all... it sounds like something i would have said, tho...

beast is in this one JOgurt, He's played by that guy..whats his name, he's in it very breifly, but as a major character..eh...I think they will put Gambit and him in as majors in the third true, but they might make it so icey is a demand. I'm sure the next one will involve archangel.
