Who is that guy with two swords?
There's Sabertooth, Gambit, Blob, who else?

Looks good to me. Not sure I like the non-professional wrestler take on Sabretooth, mainly because he's always drawn in the comics slightly larger than life.
Thirteenth, the guy with the two swords is Deadpool, who was part of the Weapon X program, although the chronology is a bit off.
Deadpool? Awesome! His skin looked silky smooth though.
EDIT: Played by Ryan Reynalds, of all people.

Gambit. Gah. This is the beginning of the end.

I was going down the list of Weapon X members, and he's the only one that used two swords. The only thing is, Deadpool is from the second team, not Team X.
The others on the Team X list are: Maverick, Silver Fox, Mastodon, and Kestrel. From the trailer, it looks like Maverick and Kestrel are definitely involved.
Edit: just watched the trailer again, and the team looks to be Maverick, Kestrel, Sabretooth, Wolverine, Silverfox, and Deadpool instead of Mastodon.
That looked extremely cool. Are they looking at a summer '09 release?
I agree that it would have been better to have had a much larger Sabretooth, but they obviously couldn't use the guy from the first X-men, and they probably couldn't find a wrestler (The Rock, John Cena) with the acting skills required to pull it off.
Where does the Blob fit in with Wolverines origins?

I wonder if they ended up using the script this leaked exerpt was from.
I have fond memories of Barry Windsor Smith's Weapon X story.
This is not that.
I'm not sure I can handle another X-men movie crapping all over what was probably my favorite comic as a kid.
The first two were good. The Second one was excellent even. The third was utter trash and this looks somewhere in between the second and third.
I just might skip it in the theater if reviews from trustworthy people aren't really positive.

Looks ok...I'm not a huge follower of 'traditional' superhero comics (more of a fan of the stuff like Sandman or Hellboy) so I'm probably a lot more forgiving of lore deviations than most
So...are they positioning this whole "X-men origins" thing for multiple characters? (i.e if this one succeeds - which, lets face it...Wolverine
- they'll do other characters origin stories?)
I have more faith in this than I do compared to the third one
It might be really good but i doubt it will be as good as the second one.

Make no mistake, I'd hit them all so hard that my pelvis would have to be classified as a deadly weapon, I just don't think they're all
Supposedly they are already working on a Magneto Origins movie as well.
My days of not taking you seriously have certainly come to a middle.
Whoa!

I think it looks pretty good. Not much you can tell from that trailer besides a few of the characters. I'm certainly looking forward to the next trailer after this one. Regardless of how it looks I'll probably see it in the theaters.

This movie is going to be interesting. Can't wait.

Gambit's such a tool. Deadpool is awesome though. Let's hope they do him credit.
Isn't that music lifted directly from 300?
Yes.

Sabertooth doesn't have to be super huge but in some of those shots he looked even smaller then Wolverine which is totally wrong. Looks interesting and I will see it but I'm not holding my breath as that trailer looked all over the place. Action, action, action, Wolverine gets his metal bones, action, action, action. Not sure if there was a story in there at all or just nonsensical action wrapped around the experiment.
Oh, also, EPIC BLEH for yet another shot of someone walking away from a huge explosion, entirely nonchalant. Come one, Hollywood, it's been done to DEATH.

Lots of hairy face action happening there. Will beards be 'in' in 2009.
I still have my original Marvel Comics Presents of the BWS (I think I may have the trade too) Weapon X. Good times.
Wasn't Deadpool 'normal' looking before the program? It was the cure/healing factor that gave him the scars I think.
EDIT:
That is classic.
Do you ever walk alone like a drifter in the dark?
I'm sold just to see Gambit. Always was my favorite X-Men. I'll just consider Wolverine the side story in this movie, especially since it's been done to death.

According to Deadpool's origins (Wikipedia, etc.), Deadpool had cancer prior to getting the Weapon X treatment. Deadpool's cancer reacted with the Weapon X genetic manipulation, and caused full body disfigurement.
Aw, my hopes and dreams of this being set in Madripoor featuring "Patch" are finally laid to rest.
Oh well, it's still Wolverine. I'm bound by personal duty to see it the day it comes out.
Letters to the Internet
Holy sh*t. When did it stop being cool to like Gambit? He's one of my favorites from the X-Men Universe.

Anyone else notice a little Snow Queen and Lady Deathstrike action in there?
Yeah, I already know I'm going to be in the lineup for this one next year. All because it's got Gambit, and he's just awesome

Why is that, now?
And Liev Schreiber as Sabretooth? Really? Maybe his image in head wouldn't be so totally unfit for the role if I hadn't first seen him in Kate and Leopold (which my wife had an unhealthy fascination for).

I just don't think that guy is capable of stringing more than a few words of dialogue together. I saw it on tv this weekend and basically they just had him grunt, growl, and sneer. I'm not saying that this new movie is Shakespeare, but I think the role requires a more accomplished actor.

Wow Ryan Reynolds playing in a semi serious movie, I do believe this might be one of the seven signs of the Apocalypse.
But to get back on topic, that doesn't look half bad. I will see everything at least once to form my own opinion of things.

"First we charge de cahd, den we throw it."
Sabretooth and Wolverine are two sides of the same coin.
Sabretooth is what Wolverine would be if he gave in to the animal side of his nature/powers...when they started off in Team X, they were pretty much alike, except Sabretooth embraced his darker impulses, and Logan tried to maintain his humanity.
You need a good actor to portray that slide into animalism. Why not Liev Schrieber, other than the fact that he is too small for the role? Come to think of it, there aren't that many good Mack truck sized actors...
Blade 3 was semi-semi-serious.
Ryan Reynolds can definitely do Deadpool's level of smart-ass.
