And I agree, Ric's powers would work really well in a modern blockbuster movie context, good special effects fodder and widescreenage. I'd just be worried the whole time that because he's not a Proper Important Core X-Man in the movieverse (or out of it for that matter) he'd get killed in some really stupid headdesking way to provide motivation for somebody 'bigger' cf. Darwin.
But you've got me thinking now how great a sequel could be if they went for 80s nostalgia rather than 60s. There could be a bunch of more-or-less current characters who started out in the 80s and 90s and there would be bad outfits and dorkiness. Now I have to stop being naively optimistic that we may even see 'Star in a movie - he's pretty cinematic too after all XD
(randomly, I'd love to see Warlock in a movie. I love him, and his powers could look fantastic in today's CGI!)
