This trailer is being talked about in other threads, so I thought I'd start one of its own. The new trailer (and it is new, not just the old one with a new clip or two) plays with the Daredevil movie. I thought first I'd just relate some of hte cooler parts and speculate what might happen in the movie.

First I think Brian Singer is really going to get the point that the Brotherhood aren't evil, they just have a different view then the x-men arcoss. One scene in the trailer shows Gen. Stryker, the President and Senator Kelly (Mystique) in the oval office. Styker says something like "We've found the mutant's lair and are preparing to attack". Kelly (Mystique) says "That lair is a SCHOOL, full of children". I loved that idea that even after the X-Men almost killed her, she is still protecting them because the are mutants.

There was a rumor spread when the movie was being shot that Pryo would leave the X-Men and join the Brotherhood at end. Thers a scene in the trailer that makes me belive this rumor. Magneto, Mystique and Pryo are all sitting in (what I'm guess is) the X-Jet. Pryo tells Magneot "they all say your the bad guy" and Magneto smiles at him "is that what they say about me?". I know it doesn't sound like much, but give the rumor, the picture of them together in the same scene and both of them talking about the Brotherhoods views (what I'm guessing follows) I think this will happen.

The trailer has what I think will be a very powerful scene between Rogue, Iceman and the Drakes. The gist of the scene is Bobby is telling his family that hes a mutant and his parents can't believe it. If I had to guess, I would guess this scene leads to Bobby being "Cast out" of the family. His mother has a funny line after he shows them his powers - "have you even tried to not be a mutant?"

We also see about half of Colossus transformation into his organic steel - very cool looking. They show us Nightcrawlers teleportations powers. Basically theres a cloud of blue and black smoke, he disapears, another cloud appears and Nightcrawler comes running out of it. There's a great scene with Wolverine (claws out), Rogue and Iceman all standing outside of a house (the picture of them standing is on the net somewhere) and a police officer tells Logan "Drop your knives and put your hands over your head" and Logan just looks pissed and says "I can't really do that".

Last Kelly Hu's character's name is Deathstrike (as far as I know this if the first time we've heard this name, she's always been labeled by her "human" name before).

You've seen this new X2 trailer? The one I saw here in the UK (watched Daredevil on the Thursday night Preview) wasn't anything like that - the trailer started with the old ending of X-Men (Prof X & Magneto playing chess) and hardly anyone spoke in it!

That just ain't fair darn it. I hope it's on the Apple website. Better go take a look.

to be honest as much as i liked daredevil x2 preview was better. i am so charged. i was skeptical of the changing teleport but i don't even care now. Allan cumming and Brian cox also add some credibility......looks so good

Does anyone have any pictures from the preview, like the one where they are standing in front of the house?

The preview looks amazing. We finally see more of Jean using her powers like she should be (instead of the 2 measly times she used them in the first film).

A comical part I found was that Cyke says while hugging Jean, " I would never let anything happen to you," then immediately following that it shows him blasting her full force with his laser. However no, it does not hit her, she is deflecting it back towards him with her telekinesis. The scene looked almost as amazing as the very end clip of the trailer when Jean Is at the base of a dam, deflecting this huge rush of water with her tk, I got goosebumps watching the trailer. The overall feel of the trailer was a lot bigger too. They made it sound more epic, which was awesome.

Another scene I'd like to bring up is Storm creating the tornados, and steering the blackbird through them trying to chase off some jets following her. The scene was amazing, and anything with Storm in it is awesome by me.

I'll add more later, for now I'm out ;)

oh and on a side note, if you didn't see the trailer at the DD movie (which I thought was awesome), you can find it at quicktime.com labeled x2 trailer 02 ,

*note you will need quicktime to watch it ;)
