The other way around. He remembers everything, but it's everyone else who has "amnesia," so to speak. Otherwise, yes, it's a renewed world without the robot laser guys.

I'm with you and don't think you are naive. It's entirely too easy to get spoiled nowadays. I avoid all trailers at this point and largely stay off these threads a few weeks out from a movie.

I get it, but posts with every known cameo (earlier in the thread) takes a little bit of the fun away from seeing it and being surprised.
Maybe I'm being naive .
ETA: maybe "every known cameo" wasn't in this thread and some suggested article I saw. Saying that, there are plenty of big possible spoilers in the thread like screencaps of the entire trailer and tweets (x's?) of possible cameos.

Slow down there Bob…let's just focus on "one good film" per year before you try to double it

A number of reports have said Doom won't be cast until well into filming (which doesn't start until July or August), since it's apparently a one-scene or so tease at the end of the movie. That said, maybe they already found their guy, and it's Malkovich. I've seen others speculating the same.

Then again, I've also seen speculation that it's Malkovich who could be Mole Man, and that Hauser is playing someone else.

If Malkovich is Doom, I really hope they let him "win" a few rounds like Thanos did.

I'm hoping one of the other "select few" lands the gig and neither of these two, seeing as this collective body of work doesn't instill much faith (though it's certainly not all bad)...
X-MEN X-CLUSIVE: It has been 7 months since Deadline's article about Kevin Feige taking pitches. As a decision grows near, meet two of the finalists for Marvel’s hottest writing gig...https://t.co/lKCtSK5VzM
— Jeff Sneider (@TheInSneider) May 9, 2024
Quote:
It has been more than seven months since Marvel fans received any update about the upcoming X-Men movie, as it was last September that Deadline reported Feige would begin hearing pitches later that fall, with a decision expected at the top of this year.
Obviously, that didn't happen, though Marvel hasn't been in any rush to hire a writer since the X-Men movie doesn't have a release date yet. Nonetheless, I'm told that Kevin Feige & Co. are coming down the homestretch, with a decision expected before Memorial Day weekend.
X-Men represents the most coveted open writing assignment in Hollywood, and to that end, I'm told that Marvel has settled on a very short list of writers that includes Rafe Judkins and Michael Lesslie, who multiple sources say are among the select few still in the mix.
Initially, I was led to believe that the decision was down to these two writers, though insiders insist that a few others are in contention.
Still, Judkins and Lesslie give us an idea of the kinds of writers Marvel is looking at - ones with experience.
Judkins got his start as a writers' assistant on The 4400 before serving as a script coordinator on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. From there, he worked as a writer on Chuck and a co-producer on Hemlock Grove before becoming the supervising producer of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. He currently serves as the writer and EP of Amazon's big-budget series The Wheel of Time, and he's also reportedly set as the showrunner on Amazon's planned God of War series.
On the film side, Judkins co-wrote Tom Holland's Uncharted movie as well as Netflix's planned adaptation of The Division starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Chastain - both films based on popular video games.
Lesslie co-wrote a pair of Lionsgate movies - The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes and Now You See Me 3, and he's also behind the upcoming modern-day remake of Hamlet starring Riz Ahmed.
Additionally, he wrote the Michael Fassbender movies Assassin's Creed and Macbeth, and executive produced the acclaimed documentary The Rescue as well as Ron Howard's take on the same story, Thirteen Lives.
On the TV side, Lesslie co-wrote and EP'd Park Chan-wook's AMC miniseries The Little Drummer Girl, and he's also among the finalists to write Max's Harry Potter series. It's unclear whether he'd pull out of the running for that high-profile project if he landed the coveted X-Men gig, but obviously, he's in demand all over town.
A representative for Marvel had no comment regarding possible X-Men writers.
Though the most recent full-fledged X-Men movie, 2019's Dark Phoenix, sputtered to $252 million worldwide, the franchise was extremely lucrative for 20th Century Fox, which was acquired by Disney several months before the release of that film.
Ever since then, Feige has seen former Fox properties such as The Fantastic Four and X-Men as key to Marvel's future, especially with the Avengers Saga ending relatively soon.
Thus, X-Men was never going to be the movie where Marvel takes a chance on some up-and-coming hotshot, though Feige and his execs did cast a wide net for this all-important franchise reboot.
Writer Beau DeMayo may have gotten the chance to write the live-action X-Men movie on the strength of reviews for his Disney+ animated series X-Men '97, though those hopes were dashed when DeMayo was dismissed from the show days before the Season 1 premiere for reasons that remain unknown.
CAA represents both Lesslie and Judkins, who is also repped by Kaplan/Perrone Entertainment, whereas Grandview and Casarotto Ramsay & Associates also rep Lesslie

I'll always remember Malkovich most for having his usual American accent in the Man with the Iron Mask while surrounded by a bunch of cool European actors. He and young DiCaprio were just awful!
