After reading up on the character's history, I've decided that they must do a Dazzler movie (I'll let you make your own cast lists with Seth Rogen as Dazzler,etc.).
For those who didn't know, as I didn't, when the character was created Marvel had some sort of deal going with a record company. The plan was to produce disco records associated with the character as had been done in the 60s with bubblegum rock records and the animated band the Archies. Apparently she almost even got stuck with the name "Disco Dazzler", but thankfully the "Disco" part was dropped before the comic series was produced and the records never ended up happening at all. And that's why they need to do a movie now, to right this horrible, horrible wrong.
I'm picturing something where the actress who plays Dazzler is also a singer, and naturally will be the one to perform on the soundtrack album. Think Madonna's "I'm Breathless" album. That said, Lady Ga Ga immediately comes to mind as a logical casting choice, but if it were aimed more at the teen market it might make more sense to go with a Hillary Duff/Hannah Montana type. I'm a little out of the loop, but the point is I'm sure there's a pop singer out there who would be perfect for the part.
Ok? ACTION!

Cracked.com did a photoshop with Gwen Stefani in a Dazzler movie. |

That would be acceptable, but I think my eccentric music taste and fondness for campy movies would prefer a more offbeat choice. I don't even know who there is now though, somebody that would fit right into a movie like KISS or David Bowie would have. Gaga is about the only one that comes to mind. Debbie Harry would have been great had this happened in the 80s, but I think that ship has sailed.

It'll be Katy Perry, instead of shooting whip cream out of her boobs it will be sparks instead.

This should have been Amanda Lear, in about 1981, but that ship has sailed.

Hillary Duff is the most Amanda Lear-like option I can think of as far as a modern actress.

This role is all about Miley Cyrus.
Marvel is owned by Disney, her soul is owned by Disney, it's a win-win

Lead actress aside, Dazzler needs songs! This is really where the injustice lies in this lack of any records materializing. Who will write the songs for the Dazzler movie? David Bowie? Elton John? T-Bone Burnett?

I had a girlfriend who looked exactly like Ultimate Dazzler. It ended badly. Therefore I would dislike any Dazzler movie.

I don't know what Ultimate Dazzler is, but this ain't it. Come on, I can't be the only one who thinks it's a grave injustice perpetrated on the Universe by the Marvel Universe that there are no Dazzler songs. Unless somebody can convince me that there is another Marvel character who could sing on their own soundtrack...

Characters I never cared for:
Artie
Leach
Longshot
Puck
Sasquatch
Mojo
Douglock
Doug Ramsey
Joseph
DAZZLER
In my opinion they were all filler, the lot of them. Oh and throw Angel and Beak on there too. They couldn't carry stories if Wolverine packed their backpack with them. There is more depth in Diego or Dora the explorer and certainly more interest.Just my opinion. It would be a shame if Dazzler appeared on film before Sinister, Apocalypse or Exodus

I always will be for a Psylocke movie , there is sooo many interesting aspects to her story that have been tampered with that there is many ways they could take it.
I am hoping just a little with the next wolverine movie taking place in Japan that maybe my favourite purple haired telepathic ninja will cameo.

I'm hoping the X-Men: First Class series has an installment set in the late 70s or early 80s, so we can have Dazzler play a role in the proceedings.
It's a longshot, I know, but I doubt people would honestly line up for a Dazzler movie. Well, I'd line up for it, but I'm about it.

I'll get behind this movie if they update the character as a goth chick who sings for one of those female fronted opera-rock bands. Wait, what are you guys going to do with all that tar and that bucket of feathers?  |
