This week on The Marvelists, Peter and Eddie continue another semester at Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters as they talk about 2003’s X2. Considered to be one of the greatest comic book sequels as well as comic book movies in general, the film borrows heavily from the iconic Claremont story “God Loves, Man Kills.” Does it still hold up over 15 years later? Peter and Eddie will be the judge of that.
X2 is directed by Bryan Singer and stars Patrick Stewart, Hugh Jackman, Ian McKellen, Halle Berry, Famke Janssen, James Marsden, Rebecca Romijn-Stamos, Brian Cox, Alan Cumming, Bruce Davison, and Anna Paquin.
Next episode: X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)
On top of all of that, we are joined with Arrow show runner and current X-Men Gold writer, Marc Guggenheim. Topics include his work on the X-titles, Spider-Man, as well what he thinks the future of Blade should be.
