Lets Recast the X-Men for the MCU
- Thread starter Anth0ny
- Start date
Fuck this is good.I'm going a different direction:
Lance Reddick as Professor X
Chris Pine as Cyclops is a good one.
Jason Isaacs or Viggo Mortenson as Magneto are A+ casting choices.
I don't think Disney has the balls to make Professor X black.

Fan casting is awful though.
This entire thread exemplifies that pretty well.
The number one requirement for casting Prof X is baldness.
The go to necessity for casting Wolverine is a beard.
The essential feature of Cyclops is... brown hair.
Terrible.
Seems like most of them have either a bad memory of Cyclops' character, or just flat out don't know what they are talking about. That character has only gotten better with timeDid you guys read Morrison's New X-Men? I recall Cyclops having some interesting character development in that run. In the films, not so much.
Well, if we want to go completely comics accurate, this man is your Wolverine.
Short, angry and Canadian, exactly like ol' Sniktbub.
Is this some sort of perspective trick or is Pat really 3/4th of an average size door tall?
Which is why he should be sunset. I don't want the dude to kill himself trying to stay in Wolverine shape. Steroids are not good for you.
Lol Chadwick is trying.....honestly he sounds like a
African politician's son which is kind of who is in the story.
:/
Why are there spoilers for a completely different show in this thread
He's too tall. Cruise is 5'7.
I would love to see an actual 5'3 Wolverine.
Good casting!Katheryn Winnick as Emma Frost
Evan Rachel Wood as Jean Grey
For me, as long as Professor X isn't British (or played as being British, cause the character in the comic ISN'T, he was born and raised in New York), Magneto isn't British (he isn't, so he shouldn't have a British accent, he's Polish), then we are cool. The actors could be British, but accent them accordingly.
It is kinda like how I remember, for the love of god, everybody wanted Emma Frost in First Class to be British because some misconception that people have that she.... is? Yeah, January Jones sucked big time, but Emma Frost IS American (upper crust New Englander to be exact).
Though, if I was to cast Jean Grey years ago, I'd cast Erin Chambers as Jean. Just give her green contacts and, to me, she's the spittin' image of how I'd imagine Jean to look in real life.
Well I'm glad someone else said it. Internet fan casting is just so uninspired and unimaginative. It's like people don't know that you can shave a person's head, have them grow a beard or have them use an accent and a bunch of other shit.
Cringe indeed.
Cyclops has been a pretty good character for most of his history. The problem is that in the peaks of X-Men's visibility - movies, animated series, 90s comics - he was being written less as a character and more as an obstacle for Wolverine.
Ryan reynolds and anyone who is in the deadpool movies isn't being recast isn't he EP on deadpool movies
Ian McShane - Magneto
Ben Kingsley - Professor X
Timothy Olyphant - Cyclops
And presenting..
Jake Gyllenhaal as Wolverine
And special guest..
Stragnelove77 as "Guy Who is Fun at Parties"
I'm going a different direction:
Lance Reddick as Professor X
Jason Isaacs as Magneto
Yo man... this would be fucking amazing.
heroin my dude
In a thread where Lance Reddick was cast as Professor X, I respectfully disagree.
And it's not like anyone's forcing you to participate. No need to be a wet blanket!
John Malkovich for Prof X
We've had some great Magnetos so I'd keep both.
Also John Malkovich for Magneto.
Made me Laugh.

i honestly want only two weird arty things to come out of marvel's total reconsolidation of their properties
one
a queeny as fuck sinister six film styled on ocean's 11 but where all of the sinister six are played by gay elderly broadway actors (Nathan Lane, Alan Cumming, Victor Garber, Harvey Fierstein etc) vamping it up super hard
two
a Godardian Brotherhood Of Evil Mutants film where they all live in a shitty Parisian apartment with a tattered Magneto poster up on the wall, Jamie Madrox is the one paying the rent for all of them, Mystique is a hardcore Maoist conspiracy theorist who believes all alternate timelines were faked, Pyro blows up an innocent civilian's car thinking it'll ignite the revolution, Sabretooth has the Legacy Virus, Toad just smokes and quotes Charles Darwin a lot, etc

Why are we casting 35-40+ year olds as the X-men? What's the point of rebooting the franchise if we are going to pretend that the characters have existed in the MCU for 20 years? The X-men should be young, with a few exceptions(Charles, Magneto, maybe Wolverine).
Fuck me, that is a good call.And just for me, I want Viggo Mortensen as Magneto.
As I mentioned before, the X-Men should be casted young (late teens early 20s) and should only consist of the Original 5 (Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Beast, Angel, and Iceman).
The MCU could use more teen focused movies.

First Movie: Adapt Joe Casey's 1999 miniseries "X-men: Children of the Atom"
Second Movie: Flashback movie starring the "original X-Men" of this universe - Charles Xavier, Wolverine, Magneto, Mystique and maybe a couple others. Ends with Magneto and Mystique leaving t form the Brotherhood, Wolverine going solo, and Charles beginning plans to open the school
Third Movie: X-Men vs Brotherhood. Wolverine returns and the X-Men recruit teenage Storm and either Nightcrawler or Colossus. Angel loses his wings and leaves the team, to set up an Apocalypse movie in a future phase.
Thankfully nobody saw that movie
Damn. These are good.I'm going a different direction:
Lance Reddick as Professor X
Jason Isaacs as Magneto

Lance Reddick as Professor X
this.... is some INSPIRED CASTING
