Latest X-MEN casting rumors

Well the latest X-MEN casting rumor (not fact, merely rumor) is that Jeri Lynn Ryan from STAR TREK VOYAGER (SEVEN OF NINE) is up for the role of Jean Grey and that Halle Berry will be playing Storm. Now these have not yet been confirmed, but it's the latest from the dish-mill which tends to churn out a lot of rumors when the project is called X-MEN it seems. Well, till we hear the confirmations... What do you folks think of these? Well I know so far there have been a lot of names for STORM, basically every black actress in Hollywood, but at 31, I think Halle could do the film and fill the role well. Jeri Ryan though seems a bit odd for the choice. I preferred the rumors of Ashley Judd, who's currently pal-ing around Austin with Natalie Portman. Hmmmm... We'll see, casting is coming fast and furious on this film... So we won't have long till this is answered.

What?

Cyclops? Haven't heard that much on good ol Cyclops.... I've heard everyone from Michael Biehn to Ben Affleck to Jeffery Falcon have been mentioned in conjunction with the character. But if the casting follows the Anna Paquin lead... whoever it is, it'll probably be from left field. Let's keep our fingers crossed for this film.
