I am very excited by this, probably because it's inspired by one of my favorite X stories. Plus, I dug First Class a lot. I am not going to see GotG because it's not MY Guardians (no Charlie-27? Bah!) Also, as much as I loved the first Cap movie and would probably dig this one, I refuse to acknowledge anything that even hints at the return of a certain character who should have remained dead, so I shan't be seeing it

Yeah, they should've never brought back Norman. They even went so far as to try & make him Marvel's Lex Luthor.
I thought the Winter Soldier story should've been a third movie, but I'm game. I've only read a handful of Cap stories, but this was by far my favorite. The retcon about what Bucky did during WWII was interesting & get the character more depth.
I don't know. Jack Ryan has been played by Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford and Ben Afflect and that is just a dude. I imagine it would pretty easy to replace a guy entirely covered in FX appliqué. Heck with Days of Future Past you just pick a different era nightcrawler (like the younger Mystique) and have a built-in explanation.
I'll tell you this, I'm excited, but not "Cap 2 excited." This IS more on my list to see then Guardians of the Galaxy.

I am mildly interested in this. I happen to like "timey wimey" stories, so that's a plus. I really enjoyed the original DOFP (though this doesn't look much like that at all). So I am slightly more jazzed about this than I am about another Fantastic Four reboot...
Upcoming Marvel movies ranked in my order of interest (not that anyone cares):
Avengers Age of Ultron Captain America Winter Soldier Thor Dark World Ant Man X-Men Days of Future Past Doctor Strange Spider Man 2 Guardians of the Galaxy Fantastic Four - reboot Venom Deadpool X-Force
So, I have a news story which may kinda, sorta contain some spoilers about Days of Future Past... even though its not REALLY about this movie... so... use caution before advancing below.

Still here? Great. The Wolverine, for those keeping track, has clawed its way to $417 million at the worldwide box office. Because of this movies overall success overseas and an OK showing in North America, Fox has asked James Mangold to return for another solo Wolverine movie featuring Hugh Jackman. Which is the reason for the "spoiler" tag, because this would seem to indicate some version of Wolverine survives Days of Future Past and that Fox is going to keep Jackman around.
Don't put her in the preview and not in the flick. C'mon, show us Rogue. Why not? 5 extra minutes of film, big deal! It's all digital anyways. The more Xmen the merrier, right?
The Quicksilver is hopefully just a bad pose and might look better in action. I figured it would not be close to original but hoped for something sleeker. Goggles make sense due to debris I guess.
Interesting that "Anna Paquin has been edited out of Days of Future Past", but she still gets a Magazine cover. Quicksilver looks ridiculous. Nice to see Sunspot and Blink! Sure I will see it, but I'm not going to hold my breath that this won't be any different than the previous hot mess that are the X-Men movies.
So far in the X-movies no one has really had individual "costumes" per se. Generally it has been uniforms (on the X-side) and a mix of vaguely military gear and underground/ punk/ comic book street gang stuff for the people working with Magneto. Even Magneto just had a sort of military uniform of his own making and the helmet. Had Quicksilver worn his costume from the comics, he would have been maybe the first character in the X-movies to actually do so, no?
Quicksilver, ugh. Looks more like gadget man. Trask looked like mini-Tony Stark. Sentinels need to be big. Purple guy, not so big. Unless......hmmm. Something we may have not seen yet? Future sentinel, cousin Gort says hello. I kind of feel like I did with Titanic. I already know how it's going to end, but I have to see the special effects. I'm excited for this film but nervous that it will be more of a dud. Huge cast looks great but can our story tellers be able to handle it? We'll see.

I think the twist is that we're already IN the dark future which must be prevented.
Makes sense to me.

Darkhorizons has the story
X-men: Apocalypse 2016?
I guess this makes sense; (spoiler) if her character's still powerless, then she doesn't serve much of a purpose.
Thoughts on the Quick Silver costume? Initially it reminds me of The Information Society circa 1992.
Sure I will see it, but I'm not going to hold my breath that this won't be any different than the previous hot mess that are the X-Men movies.
To respond to the article, I actually do think a spandex suit with a lightning bolt would have been FAR better...
