10 Movie Posters That Lied To Your Face
10. X-Men III: The Last Stand
Before the MCU kicked open the door for any combination of Marvel characters to grace our screens, we had the X-Men trilogy.
Getting excited for the X-Men films was kind of like waiting for a new Pokémon game to come out. What kind of new friends and enemies would we see this time? Each entry in the franchise included new mutants from the back catalogue of the comics and The Last Stand was no different.
Angel, with all of his boyish good looks and his luscious wings, was a big part of the marketing for the film and appears on every single poster clad in the X-Men’s leather uniform.
It feels like Ben Foster probably only got to wear the outfit for one day however and that was for publicity shoots as during the runtime of the film Angel never dons the outfit. Promising a new member of the X-men team on the poster does not reflect the movie’s course as Angel’s story never really sees him cross paths with the movie's heroes.
Additionally, the poster also features Cyclops all suited up and ready to fight. This is a blatant red herring considering he’s killed off unceremoniously 25 minutes into the picture.
