Staring Super Mario as Wolverine and Angela Basset as Storm!

http://movies.ign.com/articles/122/1221565p1.html

To be fair Bob Hoskins was a fairly good actor, better then Hugh Jackman at least. Can't judge him on on movie. Plus, if he bulked up, he would have looked more like 70's/80's Wolverine then Hugh Jackman does(thanks to him, Wolvie is a pretty boy now...).

I've been calling for Angela Basset as Storm for as long as I could remember! Seriously, why they choose Hallie Berry over her...

And Kathryn Bigelow is a terrific director. Sure it would have had James Cameron involved, but I think with Kathryn Bigelow writing and director, it would have been a fairly human story.

I wish they'd just confirm that First Class was a reboot so we could have Angela Basset play an adult Storm!

It was a massive dick move on Stan Lee's part luring Cameron away to Spider-Man.

Wow, that would've been pretty neat. Bigelow's a competent director; Strange Days is probably my favorite movie of hers, which also features the awesome Angela Bassett. Overall, I think those both would've been better casting choices. Never would've picked Bob Hoskins to play Logan, but I can see it if I squint, I think. I have no problem with Hugh Jackman's excellent portrayal of the character, but Hoskins is physically much closer to Logan's diminutive, bearish form.

I LOVE Strange Days. That sounds odd, Angela Bassett would have been a good choice for Storm, but I still can't see Hoskins doing Logan.

See, you have to think of Logan as the foul-mouthed, racist, short and squat and cigar-chomping doesn't give a crap about anybody or anything he will cut you Wolverine.

Bob Hoskins, physique aside, would be great for that Wolverine.

I like the girl that plays The Storm on the movie, but yeah Wolferine was.......ugly. I think Mario guy is much better looking and better looking for the character, too. But (and this is probably because I'm new to this), I like the bending metal stuff guy in the movie looks better than I do in the comic/cartoons. He was so much older appearing in the movie adaptation or something and I for some reason can take him more serious with that look/aura about him than how he was on the comix. 

More though, I just hated some of the dialogues in the movie. Made me go wth. I'm no writer, but I could write better than some of that. And i wish some of the characters got more screentime/dailogues because it's hard to see them develop when some pointless scenes can be cut to allow more expansion on certain characters.

Yeah.  I am so glad he didn't end up doing it.  Mary Jane and Peter having sex on a bridge?  Give me a break!
