Q
How much sex, violence, and profanity are in this movie?
A
For detailed information about the amounts and types of (a) sex and nudity, (b) violence and gore, (c) profanity, (d) alcohol, drugs, and smoking, and (e) frightening and intense scenes in this movie, consult the IMDb Parents Guide for this movie. The Parents Guide for X2 can be found here.
Q
Is Lady Deathstrike/Yuriko Oyama dead?
A
Adamantium being injected into her body in a mass amount, it is highly likely that this character is dead. However, Kelly Hu signed on to X-Men 3 when Bryan Singer was attached to the project as writer and director. As soon as Fox Studios replaced Singer for Brett Ratner and Zak Penn, Hu was no longer signed on and hasn't appeared in any other X-Men sequel.
Q
Is 'X2' based on a book?
A
X2 (aka X2: X-Men United or internationally as X-Men 2) is the sequel to X-Men (2000), which was based on the Marvel comic book series X-Men, created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in 1962. In particular, the film was based on the 'God Loves, Man Kills' storyline, written by Chris Claremont and illustrated by Brent Anderson, published in 1982. The story and screenplay for X2 was written by David Hayter, Bryan Singer, Zak Penn, Michael Dougherty, and Dan Harris. It was followed by X-Men: The Last Stand (2006), X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009), X-Men: First Class (2011), The Wolverine (2013), and X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014).
