Curing mutants: take a pill or call Wanda?
SciFi.com has an interesting story up on the third X-Men movie, which will feature a storyline that sounds an awful lot like Joss Whedon's first arc in Astonishing X-Men:
The introduction of a cure presents each mutant character with a choice whether to accept themselves as they are or take the chance at becoming "normal." It was clearly a dilemma to which the actors responded emotionally.
"There are people who think gay people can be cured," said McKellen (Magneto), who has spoken publicly about his own homosexuality. "My reaction to the idea that I can be cured as a mutant is as contemptuous as my view of people who say I need curing of my sexuality. The idea that black people could take a pill that would cure them of being black is abhorrent to me."
A new trailer for X-Men 3: The Last Stand will debut tonight during 24 on Fox.

Well, Chris Claremont doesn't get a dime excepting the sales of the novelizations of stories he came up with adapted for the last two movies.
well it's no suprise. whedon's storyline is the most accessible in decades.
