This looks fantastic. **** I'm annoyed Boone didn't get to do Dark Tower.
 
I was thinking that. :lol

The closest we've gotten to seeing them is on an action figure, but it looks like Jocasta Nu is wearing regular ol' loafers. BUSTED.

Jocasta Nu was a Jedi, the first one Vader ever killed. Maybe she survived, went to the dark side, and got some new slippers? The resemblance is uncanny.

According to sources, the "creative differences" we've been hearing so much about have been blown wildly out of proportion, as per usual, by the Twitterverse and that the current cut of the movie is the one director/writer Josh Boone and co-writer Knate Lee agreed to deliver. However, following that well-received teaser trailer in October, fans began to expect an all-out horror film, which, as it turns out, the film just wasn't since it was developed as more of a young adult film that drew inspiration from elements of Stephen King and John Hughes.

With the film testing as well as the original Deadpool, 20th Century Fox had originally only planned on three days of reshoots to improve the ending, but after the reception to the teaser, the higher-ups decided on making more significant changes to deliver a darker straight-up horror film, more in tune with what Boone and Lee had initially pitched.

In regards to the additional photography, the film's second half is largely expected to stay as is, for the most part, but the first half will need some work to incorporate more horror elements, with Boone adding/re-adding scary sequences that execs had previously deemed too frightening for a superhero movie.

As for that new character? Well, that's now been essentially confirmed and his identity could have some pretty major ramifications for the future of the X-Men franchise, depending on how many more movies we see before that merger passes. According to the report, 2x Golden Globe-winner and Primetime Emmy-winner Jon Hamm (Tag) was originally cast as Nathaniel Essex, a.k.a. Mister Sinister, and was all set to appear in a post-credits scene, with Boone even having filmed something leading up to the major reveal, but unfortunately, Fox decided to change course at the very last minute.

They've now enlisted 3x Golden Globe-nominee Antonio Banderas (The Voyage of Doctor Dolittle) for the post-credits sequence, but there's a bit of a twist as he's not expected to play Mister Sinister, which means, if they have him under contract, Hamm could still potentially appear in another X-Men film (e.g. X-Men: Dark Phoenix). As for Banderas' villainous character, his identity remains a mystery for now as it could be literally anyone from the wide catalog of X-Men rogues, but there are rumblings that he could be the voice of the Demon Bear, although that doesn't exactly line up since we already know he's the film's primary antagonist. In addition to losing Sinister, the alien Warlock was also cut, due to budget limitations, after having appeared in early drafts of the film's script.

If true, interesting that Hamm was going to play Sinister and now they've gone in a different direction with Banderas. (Still, I wonder who else could he be but Sinister?) Also neat that they tried to incorporate Warlock but that would always be a hard sell.

Also cool that they're giving in to the original vision since the horror elements tested well. Could be an interesting flick... here's hoping
