Sequels Cast a Marvel Preboot titled X-men First Class

[RAMORE]

Ok I'm calling this a Preboot after someone said it would be a prequale and a reboot hence preboot. I'm totally dreaming a little dream here but let's just say Marvel got the rights back or that Fox woke up and said you know what we are going to restart this franchise and follow the source material who would you pick for the oringinal 5? Xavier? The villians? Costumes? Is it a period piece or do you set in the present?

My picks will be coming soon.

Really have no idea about who to cast but any Professor X after Patrick Stewart has some big shoes to fill.

The villains have to be the Bolivar Trask and his Sentinels as they haven't been done in the previous X-Men franchise (not prominently, that is); once you get into sequel territory you can start thinking about reusing villains.

For costumes, go with Jack Kirby's black/yellow costumes but maybe ditch the underoos on the outside and splice in some red for the costumes' belt.

Not a period piece, just set in a timeless period.

 

[RAMORE]

I agree with some of that. As far as costumes I think you have to go with these:

Here's a guy over at screen rant's idea some of which is good but I wouldn't kill one of the big five:

Here’s my personal vision for X-Men: First Class (in 3 acts):

Act 1: Real world setting and tone, modern teenagers trying to tackle the usual hardships like hair in strange new places; Ice and/or wings growing where there wasn’t any before; telepathic voices changing; and laser beams shooting uncontrollably from the eyes when excited. The kids parents freak, even going so far as to shun or abuse their children. (Seeing ‘the real world’ react to the sudden emergence of these ‘freaks’ would be a very interesting take on the X universe. People could really empathize with that.)

Act 2: In steps Charles Xavier with his long time compatriot, Erik Magnus Lensherr. The two build the school, (and the X-base beneath, Magnus’ idea, ‘just in case,&#8217 as a haven for the emerging mutant populace. The first class is enrolled but are awkward with one another, unsure of themselves and their strange new powers. Xavier and Magnus, (in two subtly different ways,) help them conquer their insecurities and embrace their powers –even show them how to work as a team. However, just as the kids come into their own, intolerance and fear amongst normal humans bubbles over. One student pays the ultimate price. Magnus, broken-hearted and disillusioned, gets twisted into the militant terrorist, Magneto.



Act 3: Magneto tries to lure Xavier and the kids over to the dark side with him. Xavier refuses, causing an irrepairable rift in their friendship; the kids stand with Xavier’s ideals, Magneto mockingly dubbing them his “Xavier Men.” Big final battle: the kids manage to stop Magneto from doing any real damage, but another big price is paid: Xavier’s legs get crushed. In the aftermath, humans fear mutants more than ever; new mutants are either forced to, or choose to reveal themselves and be who they are; Xavier’s school welcomes those in need; the first class steps up to become the X-Men; all while Magneto sits lonely, recruiting help where he can, secretly missing the family at Xavier’s school he has abandoned.

Fox execs, I can have a full script ready in a month! (P.S. if my 3-act masterpiece should end up as the official script, remember your favorite neighborhood film clairvoyant over at Screen Rant called it first!)

Been crazy busy at work but i've been thinking about the casting and i'm looking for photos now.

As for the villian I dunno Maybe sinister or Apocalypse but both of those seem to big for these newbies you know. I think I would go with honest to goodness sentinels chasing them and putting others in harms way maybe a secret mutant baddie pulling the strings behind the scene's...that could be sinister.

 

[Wesley Dodds]

Professor Xavier- Ben Kingsley
Jean Grey- Laura Prepon
Scott Summers- Jason Dohring
Hank McCoy- Jason Segel
Warren Worthington- Ryan Gosling
Bobby Drake- Kip Pardu

 

[Wesley Dodds]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannd Magneto? Terrence Stamp

 

[TheVelvetOnion]

If i was recast using the exisiting movie history then

Professor Xavier- Patrick Stewart
Jean Grey- Arielle Kebbel
Scott Summers- Tad Hilgenbrink
Hank McCoy- Alan Ritchson
Ororo Monroe - Raven-Symoné
Jason Stryker - Frankie Muniz

And the possible other characters

Avalanche - Drake Bell
Toad - Michael Cena
Blob - Eric Cartman would of been ideal if he was real but probably just use Kevin Durran again

 

[Sky Captain]

Here's my total reboot style cast. Not in the form of those collage thingies.

Prof. Charles Xavier: James Remar

Scott Summers/Cyclops: Sean Faris

Jean Grey: Anna Kendrick

Bobby Drake/Iceman: Dustin Milligan

Warren Worthington III/Angel: Chace Crawford

Erik Lensherr/Magneto: Clancy Brown

I could not find anybody to be Hank. Maybe I'm just an idiot.

What the hell are you talking about did you read the first post at all? These are the original five no storm no Stryker...and seriously frankie muniz for stryker was that serious

I really like these picks alot Not all ideal but you definately get the concept.

 

[Congo Jack]

I agree with some of that. As far as costumes I think you have to go with these:

Why?

 

[RAMORE]

My Picks are:

Professor X ~ Patrick Wilson

in costume

Reasoning: Neto Magnus here on the hype cast him and made him bald and I think it's perfect you have to pick someone not too well known and they have to be younger than the perfect patrick stewart but not too young.


Cyclops ~ Zac Efron

Reasoning: I think he can pull off the unconfident boy next door who's not sure he can lead especially when he's least in control of his powers.


Marvel Girl ~ Autumn Reeser

Reasoning: I loved her in the OC she looks good with red hair and she's beautiful and vulnerable at the same time.

 

[RAMORE]

Part 2

Beast ~ Jensen Ackles

Reasoning: Before getting blue fur all over Hank was an all american looking guy captain of the football team and really smart he just had abnormally big hands and feet.


Angel ~ Cam Gigandet

Reasoning: I know this isn't normally his thing but He has the smug loog of a pretty boy you just have to clean him up. And hes a little wild which will plug into the caged bird feeling they portray warren as having in the book. Plus he has to be able to give scott a run for his money over jean's affections.


Iceman ~ Cody Linley

Reasoning: If any of yall were forced to watch dancing with the stars this season then you saw how Cody was goofy, funny, young kid who wasn't sure he should be there but still have a blast, ball of energy...that's exactly who bobby is in the book.

 

[RAMORE]

Part 3


And the Villian...it has to be Magneto!

Magneto ~ Cole Hauser

in costume

Reasoning: Again a Neto Magnus casting I agreed with only age him and wilson a little for their roles but he looks like a young brash Eric who's tired of trying to help people who hate him all he needs is the white hair.

 

[The Overlord]

Part 3


And the Villian...it has to be Magneto!

Reasoning: Again a Neto Magnus casting I agreed with only age him and wilson a little for their roles but he looks like a young brash Eric who's tired of trying to help people who hate him all he needs is the white hair.

But Magneto has been the villain in most of the X-Men movies already, he is overexposed and I'm kinda sick of him. I would rather they try someone else (Mr. Sinister, Sentinels, anything) then going magneto well again.

 

[RAMORE]

Yeah I agree you probably should be doing the sentinels however if it's like 5 or 6 years from now it won't matter.

 

[WeaponXProject]

I like the Patrick Wilson and Cole Hauser picks. Cole just looks like a bad guy.

As for Jenson whoever, he is Cyclops to me.

 

[RAMORE]

See cylcops has to be a little goofy to me, a little dude next door who's too hard on himself you know. Not cool at all. Not at the beginning anyways.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Colm Feore as Professor X and Viggo Mortensen as Magneto

 

[shadowcatII]

I think I would have to do things a bit differently. I would change the mutants up to be Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Beast, and Storm as teachers with Kitty, Ice Man, Angel, Rogue, Piotr, Banshee, and Jubilee as students with Xavior overhead.

The main enemy would probably be the sentinels. But seeing as how the movie is first class, it would probably be the lineup everyone else has chosen.

As for uniforms I would probably do something pretty simple that echoes the orignal black and yellow idea but keep it grounded in reality. Black jackets, yellow X shirt, different bottoms per teen in black. I'll post some sketches later.

 

[RAMORE]

This thread is only for the ideas that include going back to the true first class if you want to rehash the last three movies there are a ton of other threads.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Professor X - Colm Feore
Cyclops - Jared Padalecki
Jean Grey - Danneel Harris
Beast - Sean Astin
Angel - Justin Hartley
Iceman - Bret Harrison
Magneto - Viggo Mortensen​

 

[Rich Santoro]

X-Men "The Beginning" (when the true original team was formed, as teenagers).

Cyclops - Chris Pine

Jean Grey - Danielle Panabaker

Beast - Justin Long

Angel - Travis Van Winkle

Iceman - Matt O'Leary

 

[CapFirstAvenger]

Professor Xavier- ? (I still can't imagine anyone, but Patrick Stewart)
Cyclops- Chris Pine
Jean Grey- Autumn Reeser
Angel- Chase Crawford
Beast- Sean Astin
Iceman- Dustin Milligan

I don't know if I would want these exact people, but I would love to see the younger cast as when they first get recruited to the school

 

[Rich Santoro]

My Picks are:

Professor X ~ Patrick Wilson
in costume

I am sold on this...
