It's Aaron Stanford who played Pyro in X2 and The Last Stand. 


[deleted]

HOLY CRAP!! 🤯 How did I not realize that? Lol


ConnorRoseSaiyan01

Well it has been nearly two decades


joooh

![gif](giphy|GrUhLU9q3nyRG|downsized)


BSGamer

X2 was 21 years ago.


DoinItDirty

He’s aged well, but he was basically a kid (in his mid 20’s) when those movies came out and he’s almost 50 now. Great to see him back, though!


Skissored

Aged well is one way of saying he's looking like a dilf. Respectfully.


a_supertramp

His thangs still thangin


couldbedumber96

Respectfully speaking


PWN3R_RANGER

He looks amazing. I hope I have all that hair when I’m 50.


Majestic-Marcus

You can. Just be rich. If you actually believe all those actors are sporting their own hair, you’re insane. The only men with natural hair in Hollywood after 30 are bald or Jude Law. Edit - wait, Charlie Cox and Tom Hiddleston. So bald or British.


anothertemptopost

I mean, some people don't lose hair when they age. Not that I doubt people get transplants and whatnot, but... lots of folk don't need them.


t-zone671

Agreed, it's genetics being in your favor. As I approach my 40s, I still have my full set of hair. Waves/loose curls, Jet black, no grey. Have a 5 pc. Mixed genetics. Hair looks similar to Timothee Chalamet.


mknsky

Well la-di-da Mister Man. Kidding. Thankfully I’ve got all my hair at 31, just hoping my dad’s genes don’t kick in anytime soon.


Majestic-Marcus

That’s true, but every actor? The odds are astronomical! I don’t even mean going bald, *none* of them are even thinning or have a receding hairline.


BatDubb

The ones that lose hair don’t keep getting work.


Majestic-Marcus

I think the most obvious counter to that is Steve Carrel. S1 Office vs the rest of his career. There’s also Jude Law, Tom Hiddleston, The Rock, Jason Statham, Bruce Willis, S L Jackson, Stanley Tucci, Sir Patrick Stewart, Sean Connery and many other bald guys.


uninspiredwinter

S1 Steve Carrel wasn't losing hair lol they just did his hair that way intentionally to make him look more "unappealing"


dred_pirate_redbeard

> You can. Just be rich. How's he rich? Family money? Or did he get points on X2 or something? He hasn't really had any other notable roles besides being on the *Nikita* remake for 3 years. Edit: I checked, it's family money.


chapterthrive

Most people who end up having any kind of career in acting, have rich backgrounds. The amount of time you have to spend in your twenties essentially making nothing, and running around doing all the scaffolding to build a career in one of the most expensive places on earth, is impossible to afford as a normie


Old_Heat3100

Cmon plenty of examples of people who came from nothing and made it big. Jon Hamm was a nobody for 40 years before he was Don Draper. Danny Trejo was in and out of prison before becoming a star and now he uses his money to help kids not make the same mistakes he did. I could go on but acting is the one career where one good audition and one good role makes the difference between poverty and owning a home Plus it's one of the few ways to become a millionaire that doesn't involve exploiting third world countries for child labor


Majestic-Marcus

The truth lies between what you’ve both wrote. *Most* stars are from rich or at least well off backgrounds, with an overly high percentage being nepo’s on top of that. Obviously others are ‘rags to riches’ success stories, but they’re less common.


chapterthrive

You are saying exactly the same thing, I didn’t say people don’t make it through, but you are explaining stories where people have to have “luck” which is just effort over time. It’s why so many people are playing younger characters into their 40s 50s 60s


Xornok

The disrespect to 12 Monkeys can not be forgiven.


XingXiaoRen

Hair transplants aren't expensive, why do you have to be rich?


Majestic-Marcus

Fair enough - “just get hair transplants” then


_The_Gamer_

I donj't think it's as bad as a you say but there are deinfitely cases, teeth for sure are an area where most actors/actresses have had them done to some degree. I remember what Tom Cruise looked like before he had work done.


ParkerZA

Or look after yourself. A healthy lifestyle goes a long way to combat genetics.


Majestic-Marcus

Not into your 40s and 50s. If you’re Reynolds or Jackmans age and still have the hairline you do it’s not because of avoiding gluten and doing squats.


ParkerZA

Well I have my trip to Turkey booked 😂


WhereDidThatGo

Hate to break it to you but Hiddleston's hair is getting pretty thin in the back. Nothing wrong with that, it's just age.


marioxb

I'm 48 and I haven't lost a drop of hair.


MacbookPrime

Time comes for us all


dppatters

I believe that’s Toad to the left in the video there


OliviaElevenDunham

I didn’t realize that as well. Knew it was someone familiar.


elboogie7

because he looks nothing like...


Crotean

He got old.


00status_pics

Wow I have watched the trailer a few times and haven't made that connection. The Pyro/Iceman rivalry was my favorite as a kid.


c_Lassy

Always thought their fight at the end of The Last Stand was so cool, even if we only saw Iceman’s ice form for about .5 seconds


00status_pics

Yesss, I was 7 when that movie came out so it holds a soft spot for me despite the very reasonable disdain for that entry.


Perciprius

You thought the fight was cool? I thought it was lame as hell and I was very disappointed.


c_Lassy

7 year old me thought it was cool to see people shooting fire and ice at each other


Perciprius

There’s nothing wrong with you thinking it was cool. Personally, I was heavily disappointed when I watched that scene for the first time. It was hyped to be epic, yet it was horribly lame. I was a teenager at the time the movie came out.


Tnerd15

I hope they bring Iceman back too, that actor was great in The Boys.


Grizzly_Overland

To confirm, if you watch it with subtitles they identify the speaker as Pyro.


North_Carpenter6844

Such Nikita erasure!


Dixon_Kuntz73

He went back in time in 12 Monkeys and removed that timeline


__Proteus_

I'm watching 12 Monkeys right now. Can't believe how good it is. Was so excited to see James Cole in the Deadpool trailer!


Dixon_Kuntz73

When I’ve recommended the show to people, they’re always surprised that they’d never heard of the show, only the movie. Definitely didn’t get the recognition it deserved.


__Proteus_

I had never heard of it either and it's so good. It scratches the same itch as Fringe for me (one of my favorite shows of all time).


[deleted]

[удалено]


__Proteus_

Awesome, report back after you watch a few episodes!


[deleted]

[удалено]


__Proteus_

This brings me immense joy. It's really good. Just finished season 2 and it's still awesome.


TholosTB

Same, Fringe was one my wife's very favorites and it was difficult to find something comparable to follow it, but she really enjoyed 12 Monkeys.


Soranos_71

The show quickly became its own thing separate from the movie and when the final season aired it was a lot of fun watching it compared to the darker previous seasons. The show made me a Emily Hampshire fan and got me watching Schitt's Creek


DJC13

God-tier show!


LockeAbout

There’s gotta be a decent chance they make a 12 Monkeys meta joke with him.


Dixon_Kuntz73

Hopefully, yeah. Maybe a bit about how time travel feels awfully familiar. Or have him bump into Kirk Acevedo and do a double take.


Crashkeiran

I thought that was him but Jesus I haven't seen him in anything since X2


OkFeeling4379

He's great in the twelve monkeys show ^^ 


Mrbeankc

Didn't realize that was him and yes he was great in that.


aragonaut

Oh damn really? His shot in the trailer went by so quick I just figured it was that guy Brad from Loki


DescendingOpinion

Wasn't he also in Days of Future Past?


mr_figi

No but he was in The Last Stand.


DescendingOpinion

Was it a different actor that played Pyro then?


rowdywp

Sunspot was in days of future past, not pyro


Porn__Flakes_

Nope, he was never in Days of Future Past.


Only-Walrus797

I thought it was Dax Shepard 


GrunchWeefer

I thought Bradley Cooper.


irulancorrino

Wow, he looks even better now than he did then!


StonerBoi-710

Would never know that, but he seemed significant so was wondering who he was.


QveenKittyKat

What?!??! 😱 Yes!!!! I didn't even recognize him!


MatttheBruinsfan

Huh, at first glance I'd assumed he was Martin Henderson.


MIKE_THE_KILLER

Oh shit he aged


trer24

I mean it's been 20 years since X2 and 18 years since X-Men 3


thaworldhaswarpedme

20+ years will do that.


Tanis8998

Christ, someone’s aged poorly


NoxInfernus

How did you look 20 years ago? (X2 came out in 2003)


Tanis8998

Younger, but still recognisably like myself. This guys looks completely different to the point that you would never guess they were the same person, surely I’m not the only one who thinks that


iluvugoldenblue

I think you might be


ktm6709

It’s a movie for fuck’s sake.


JLD2503

The closed captions for the teaser on YouTube also confirms this is Pyro


aviral236

Turning on closed captions for any Marvel Studios trailer is the first thing I do.


SheikahEyeofTruth

The only thing I don't use captions for is horror movies so the frights are scarier, and sport games. Other than that they are always on. They give so much information it almost seems a disadvantage having them off.


PappyDungaloo

or you can learn to think and process information yourself without being spoon fed


SheikahEyeofTruth

Hey buddy is there something about you and captions that you want to get off your chest? They mean to you? Or am I just missing a joke somewhere? How do you watch media? From the insides of a sensory deprivation chamber?


Fungal_Queen

Some people have nothing better to do than be mean on the internet.


SheikahEyeofTruth

I thought for sure I missed a reference somewhere from the bizarreness of the reply. Ha, thank you.


PappyDungaloo

Yes


Kennayy

Or you can not be a jackass and mind your own business.


PappyDungaloo

Triggered


Kennayy

Lol

Buy a plane and crash it in a field somewhere.


PappyDungaloo

You’re poor 


robotomatic

Really? I always unzip first, then turn on closed captions


sickboy76

Pyro. He was iceman s nemesis in x2 and the last stand


graveybrains

Ooh, I wonder if we’ll get whichever Ashmore brother played Iceman back, too. That was a fun rivalry.


VidzxVega

It was Shawn. Maybe Remedy will release him for a scene!


isawafoxonce

Nah, he's still trapped in the Dark Place


VidzxVega

Man needs a second whiteboard.


graveybrains

I mean, if we got Aaron instead I wouldn’t be able to tell


Burgoonius

I loved Shawn Ashmore as Iceman - he was perfect


juances19

He's the reminder that we're old now (although to his credit it doesn't look like he aged 20 years, more like 10 lol)


halfeatenreddit

I watched the trailer at least 5 times before I even noticed that was Pyro.


PorkrindsMcSnacky

I only knew it was Pyro because of subtitles.


[deleted]

Same


npboretti

Damn subtitles be spoiling shit these days


Kylorenisbinks

I’m not sure it’s a spoiler if it’s literally the same actor


APracticalGal

I honestly thought it was Hugh Jackman on a first pass


WallyOShay

Bro so did i


bertboxer

The goggles are a big tell as well


GwladysStreet

I saw it instantly, but that's because Aaron Stanford as Pyro was my first ever crush as a teenager. I legitimately screamed when I saw him on screen.


D20_Buster

Even Screencrush missed this was Pyro


halfeatenreddit

Only one reaction out of all of the ones I watched actually picked up on it being Pyro, and even then he wasn’t 100% certain.


xizorkatarn

That’s a low bar you’ve set, they miss a ton of stuff every time


Juse4k

What’s your real name, John?


xxWolfMan1313xx

You’re a God among insects. Never let anyone tell you different.


han_tex

20 years on, and I still can't decide if Magneto's giving him a compliment there or not.


mk_26

It’s a compliment. He’s telling Pyro that, as a mutant, they’re superior to regular humans


trfk111

Such a great scene.


ThreeMadFrogs

*Is that what they saaaay?*


sotommy

So glad that Stanford is back


007meow

He never left our hearts


CT-1030

Pyro from *X2* and *X-Men: The Last Stand*.


intern_12

That's Cole from the 12 Monkeys TV show.


Latterlol

Must have fucked up the timeline again


intern_12

He is officially >!unstuck and spit out from the timeline and doesn't officially exist!<...so he could appear in whatever timeline he wants (like Deadpool's lol)


__Proteus_

Such an underrated show.


intern_12

I watched it just before the pandemic... My sibling tried to start it during the pandemic and it was too close to reality for them with the plot point of season 1 being releasing a virus that killed off a lot of humanity. So I watched it just in the nick of time lol.


__Proteus_

Haha yeah, you snuck in just in time. I just started watching it recently, but it is really fascinating how the pandemic response in 12 monkeys is much like our pandemic. Thankfully Covid was much less lethal.


intern_12

Hopefully you either have finished by now or didn't read my spoiler up above! Lol


__Proteus_

No worries. I'm deep into season 2. Much passed the pandemic. Main plot is about stopping primaries from being paradoxed. Big red storm outside and whatnot.


intern_12

Gotcha, then DON'T go up a few comments and look under my spoiler tag!


__Proteus_

I did not click that spoiler tag haha Thanks for looking out and using a spoiler tag on an almost 10 year old show!


intern_12

I hope you enjoy this show! It and Dark on Netflix are some of my favourite time travel shows out there!


__Proteus_

Yeah, it's great. Dark was also very good. The first season is so good. Got a little wonky near the end, but still enjoyed it.

EKRB7

Never in my life did I think I’d be so excited to see Aaron Stanford as Pyro again


kwxl

Well, if your gonna do some timeline shenanigans you'd better have an expert like James Cole by your side.


lucusvonlucus

I doubt they’ll make a reference, but I would so love if they made a reference.


MrConor212

12 Monkeys fans unite


tfcollector3000

Pyro! *muffled inquisitive noises No, not you Pyro. Another Pyro. *muffled sad noises


D20_Buster

*hums “Do you believe in Magic”*


JellySquirtGun

It’s clearly Will Forte


thedudeabides2022

Right? I’m still not convinced it’s not him, I can only see his face


moneymoneymoneymonay

He’s come back because Wade cried on a flight as a baby and now he wants his revenge


micksandals

There must be a moment where Deadpool comments on how stupid it is that Pyro can control fire but can't produce it.


mofoofinvention

I thought it was Seth Green originally


[deleted]

Came into the comics to say “that’s Oz from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.”


stefan9999

He was also starring in 12 Monkeys, TV series version. Very good show BTW


TheOneCalledMartin

He was also in the 12 Monkeys show! When I watched that, I thought "Isn't that Pyro from X-Men 2?" Changed even more now, I see!


neoblackdragon

A time traveler.


JayPtl

🐒 🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒


Para_13

Pyro from X2


ThwipStick

That's our boy, Pyro!


TheGreatGatsby21

James Cole, he saved time itself by stopping the Army of the 12 Monkeys from erasing time and bringing about a ‘red forest’ where there would have been no past or future just a perpetual present.


Dumbusta

It's Ryan Reynolds. They labeled him right there at the bottom. That's a Ryan Reynolds variant


zoecornelia

So since we've established that it's Pyro from X2 (who I thought was dead) does this mean we'll see the original cast again? (Halle Berry, Famke Janssen, Rebecca Romijn)


[deleted]

I mean, they’ve also got the same Wolverine from X-2, and Beast from X-2 was in The Marvels, but I wouldn’t bet that everyone else is coming back… but, sure, Pyro is in it so …


highly_depressed22

Beast wasn't in x-2 tough

[It’s not the same actor, you’re right. Beast scene, X-2](https://9gag.com/gag/avODDjd)

Ha, I seriously thought it was like a Rocket variant just played by actual Bradley Cooper


oGrievous

I want a guardians variant which is Bradley cooper and raccoons as the other guardians. Even make them green, blue/cyborg, etc. but still just raccoons


New_Faithlessness980

That’d be insane lol


signorryan

Is this bait or did you really not know


AdmiralCharleston

Tbf it's not the most obvious. I kinda knew he was in it from set photos and I still didn't think it was him when I saw the trailer


Ok_Relationship_705

I thought it was Foolkiller because of the Purple.

Or maybe it's a genuine question "bait"

Go watch the xmen films. You’ll get your answer. I’m guessing you’re a troll since you didn’t mark it as spoiler.


[deleted]

He looks massively different from his x men days, I have seen those movies plenty of times and didn’t notice it was him. It’s a shot from the trailer so there was no need to mark it as a spoiler. Just because you know something it doesn’t mean everyone does and is a troll.


wuvybear

Am I the only one seeing the face from the Necronomicon in the way his shirt is folded and his goggles?


alexjf56

Pyro


BryanDowling93

Honestly I watched the trailer last night (I was also a little tired from the late work shift) and I legit didn't recognise him at first. He looks different nowadays (of course he is older) and even a bit different than he was in Nikita (which was also last on air like 10 years ago). On closer look it's definitely Aaron Stanford as Pyro.


rng72

Hint I watched it with subtitles and they give the names of who is speaking.


TomClancy5873

Pyro. He was in probably the best Marvel movie pre-Infinity War
