Rose Byrne Refuses To Reveal Whether Or Not She's In X-Men: First Class!

When quizzed about her involvement with X-Men: First Class at Bafta LA's event in Beverly Hills last night, the actress refused to either confirm or deny whether or not the reports of her playing Dr Moira MacTaggert in the Matthew Vaughn directed flick are true.

"Well, I feel like I don't want to get in trouble so I'm just not going to say anything!"

However, she did admit to being a fan of the past X-Men movies (who wants to bet she's never watched them?) but that was about all that the inteviewer was able to prise from her.

"Yeah absolutely, but I'll refrain from commenting."

What do you guys think? If Byrne wasnt in the movie, my guess would be that she'd just come right out and say so. However, why would she not want to confirm the role either? Could it be that she's actually going to play another character? Share your thoughts in the usual place!

I seriously don't give two [frick]s about X-MEN FIRST CLASS, worst thing Marvel ever did was sell the rights to them!

Damn we could have had a masterpiece!

This is nothing more than that MAGNETO movie, but [frick]ed up twisted version!

Wheres all the FOX h8rs gone lol?

I'll say one thing though, shes gr8 for that MOIRA role!

She's totally in the film.

"Rose, if anyone asks if you're in my film DON'T LIE, ok? This is Hollywood and we have standards, damnit. I want you to just zip your lip and if they persist run hysterically in the opposite direction."

LEEE@ actually Carolco Pictures bought the film rights of X-Men from Marvel. Fox bought the rights when Carolco went bankrupt. But i agree with you, they should just call this move X-men: Xavier & Magneto.

First timer here...all you guys on this site are AWESOME!!!
Brashlight@ dude you're avatar puts me in a trance sometimes, lol.

Brashlight @ I'm never gonna spend money on this IF it don't have the ORIGINAL X-MEN, no way in hell lol! : P

I'm not putting money in FOX's pockets to make even more crap... Only one thats looking up is maybe WOLVERINE but I wont hold my breath haha!

Hey we can both go and skip together going down the street whistling show tunes and going to see CAPTAIN AMERICA and THOR, oh and GL! : D

Yeah she probably is going to be in the movie. Which sucks cause she's a good actress entering a probably bad movie.

Check out my Batman story in the fanfic section. I bet you'll enjoy.

LEEE@ thanks man. concerning your desire to see X-men back in the hands of Marvel, dude i hope your still young cause i get your passion for them. But i don't think it's gonna happen for a looooooonnng time :(

Nicely said LEE! There's no way in hell I'm going to pay to see Fox continue to blatantly disrespect the comic books! In a year with the likes of Captain America and Green Lantern, Fox and X-Men: First Class can [frick] off! :P

megabatfan: Welcome to CBM! I dream of the day Marvel Studios have the rights back to all their characters, but I dont see it happenning for a long time...if ever! Just imagine Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four teaming up or the Avengers and X-Men fighting side-by-side!

BRASH @ LOL! ; P

megabatfan @ I know its a longgg way off just like SPIDEY, the thing is if people didn't spend money on these movies they would go back to Marvel Studios that much sooner, PUNISHER's already back (thank god lol).

Problem with FOX though is the X-Universe is a huge part of Marvel!

JOSH @ Yeah man, we wont be starved for comic book movies anyways and FIRST CLASS might lose money or just break even, who knows!?

The problem is, the more FOX keeps bringing crap out, the more it hurts the comic book movie, the general public might just get sick of them, lets hope not though!

FRESHMAN @ Its PROF X's bit of stuff! ; D

Josh@ Thanks! The day Marvel studios hold all their properties will be one of the greatest days in all of our lives. We'd hav to get a world holiday for it - lol!

DCMF: Thanks bud! :) You're not missing much to be honest as I've always found her to be a pretty uninteresting character to be honest!

LEE: While the likes of Marvel Studios and Warner Bros. continue to produce quality movies that outshine the kind of crap that Fox make, I doubt we'll have to worry about that...I hope!!! I hope this movie fails so they'll end up selling the rights back to Marvel or something, lol!

megabatfan: Haha, most definitely! :D They already have the Punisher back (and maybe Daredevil depending on who you listen to) so that's a start!

Brashlight - 8/31/2010, 12:45 PM
I hate to pee in the punch bowl but, it will be an extremely long time before Marvel gets their rights back if ever :(

I love me some Byrne!
She was great in Sunshine!

Seriously,those who doubt Evans as Cap should watch that movie. It's pretty amazing. Chris is great. She is Cillian Murphy and Byrne!

ScarletSpidey - 8/31/2010, 12:46 PM
@megabatfan - Bonjour and welcome to our humble abode.

@NightAvenger - I actually recently rewatched Sunshine for the first time since it's release and I couldn't agree with you more. Fantastic film.

Obviously guys, it's not a question of whether or not she's in the movie, but of what character she'll play.

Duh.

Even then, though, I think it's actually fairly obvious she's playing Moira (hasn't it been confirmed?) and she just hasn't been fully up on what's been officially disclosed or nit,a nd she's just being extra careful.
marvel72
marvel72 - 8/31/2010, 1:01 PM
this sounds to me that shes ashamed of actually being in the movie. :)

fox,keep up the good work.

the franchise will be back in the hands of marvel in no time.

epic,pile of shit.
