What's this?

Here's a very important question for me (in all seriousness)

How are they going to portray Iceman? I see it will, in the least, just be an offscreen character (like the trailer alludes to)

BUT...if you were going to give him any screen time for real...how would you do it 'honorably' to the original character, with the stark differences in the aging of each actor including Val's health? Just something I've been thinking about...maybe they say Iceman is dead and that's why they just shoot the picture? Or maybe some crazy recorded message etc....idk....not a movie writer, but I hope they don't do some stupid CGI...i think a cool option is that Iceman did some serious mission shit and got exposed to some agent orange or radiation crap..idk..that's fanboy thinking...

Probably the best treatment is to keep it off screen..but I really hope they get Val some airtime somehow...my 2 cents

According to the writer/producer team, this is a “new” movie, not a sequel -- PhotoHokieNC 03/29/2022 6:40PM

It's not a new movie, many of the same characters later in their career. ** -- hokietony 03/29/2022 7:16PM
