Young Magneto Casting Thread

Electrix · 06-07-2006, 10:45 AM

They may use a younger actor to portray Magneto.

Ian in 1965 aged 26.

Ian in 1970 when he was 31.

Who do you think could play Eric?

javon · 06-07-2006, 10:58 AM

Wow! I thought it was just a look-alike who was gonna play him when i first took a glance at the pitcure! And did ya'll make this section Electrix?

Ebil Gig · 06-07-2006, 11:00 AM

Wow, Ian ages very nicely.

SuperHeroHype! removed the Non-Spoiler section as the film is out and made forums for Wolverine and Magneto as they are the next X-Men films to be worked on.

In that first pic, I get a Karl Urban vibe for some reason.

But then I get Rhys Ifans which is even weirder...

Decay · 06-07-2006, 11:09 AM

I like the picture where he was 31!

I think they should get the kid who played Eric during the deathcamp flashback in X1. He would be about 20something now. It would be nice for continuity.

I doubt he will look anything like Ian.

he has only acted in one other thing so he isnt much of an actor...

Depending on how old they make Magneto in this movie -

James Marsters

Seriously, there is a resemblance there. If not to play Magneto, then to play Quicksilver is another X-spinoff

Yeah. It's bad enough when he first appeared in X1 he didn't even look like him.

ComicKoryn · 06-07-2006, 08:48 PM

oh wow, James Marsters would be an awesome look a like casting. I just wonder if he has the presence to pull off the film mostly by himself, that's the only problem. I could see them casting someone that doesn't necessarily resemble Ian as he used to appear.

Also...I kinda want a somewhat buff Magneto, I missed that element in the movies.

Iceman · 06-07-2006, 08:54 PM

Ian looks better than I expected when he was younger.

James Marsters would be a great Magneto, but I can't see him bringing across a 'Master of Magnetism' vibe. Although there is a resemblance, the actor needs to have a very dominating presence on film. Besides, James is getting a lot older now, and age is catching him. Even at the time that photo was taken, underneath he looks a bit worn without the make-up.

Also, I don't think I could see him as anyone other than Spike...

Whoever plays Magneto, needs to be an incredible actor to fallow in Ian Mckellon's footsteps. It's going to be hard seeing someone else in that role.

I know exactly how you feel.

ComicKoryn · 06-07-2006, 11:10 PM

well that settles it, we just need to clone Ian McKellen!

That could work.

thorstone · 06-07-2006, 11:57 PM

I have no clue who could fill this man's shoes.

JustABill · 06-08-2006, 12:04 AM

^ Exactly, whoever is cast as a young Magneto is never gonna fill Ian McKellan's shoes.

He's the most talented actor out of all the talented actors that worked on the X Films. He's easily the toughest to replace.

Yeah, at least... I'd even take that further and say that he's very possibly the best actor I've ever seen on the big screen.

ComicKoryn · 06-08-2006, 12:08 AM

I'd say he's one of the best, definitely

Does Ian have a partner? If not, we'll need a way to obtain a DNA sample...

CaptainAwesome · 06-08-2006, 11:09 PM

Has anyone considered Ewan McGregor yet? He's got the acting ability and I think he could pull off the look as well.
