^overall not bad...i would rather not have jean brought back. Emily blunt would be an awesome emma frost. and phillipe is too old for angel. foster didnt get a fair crack at him.
 
Blunt as Forst? Yeah, I dont see it, at all. But seriously, whats the point of replacing Famke? Thats right, there is none.
 
^ I don't see Blunt as Emma either I have always been a fan of Uma Thurman as Emma or Ali Larter.
And I would have rather either never had Famke as Jean or never have James as Scott because there is a clear age difference, she just looks older than him by more than a few.
And why not bring Jean Back it would actually help to include and expand upon the powers of the pheonix and how it is able to heal and revive from the dead...just don't have her be evil in this one.
And for the last time Angela Basset is too old! I would like to see Gabriel Union or paula Patton but Halle could come back as well.
 
That casting wasn't for an X4 I was just doing an if I started the X-Men movies casting
 
Blunt as Forst? Yeah, I dont see it, at all. But seriously, whats the point of replacing Famke? Thats right, there is none.
I thought they could have found better. She looked waaay older than all of them. And I don't find her very hot. Isn't Jean supposed to be? Didn't much see what Logan and Scott were fighting about there. :p
 
She's supposed to be the cute innocent girl next door type before she becomes pheonix so yeah Famke was a miscast although she looked darn near perfect as Pheonix to me. Its funny how Singer cast all the men in the movie perfectly but really F'd up on the female casting (rogue, storm, & Jean)....I think Shawn Ashmore was wrong for Bobby Drake too.

Who would you have chose for Storm, Jean , and Rogue around that time?
 
^ Hmm, right now if I was to cast for storm, Jean, and Rogue
Storm: Kerry Washington, she has proven herself to be one of the best younger actresses of today, she could carry the accent with no problem watch 'The Last King of Scotland', and she definately can have a commanding presence to her.

Jean: Scarlet Johanssen, I know that people like to suggest her for every comic book role under the sun but she is Jean Grey to me she is the cute girl next door with a crazy/witty intelligence. If I was casting for the original (2000) movie my number one choice would be Kate Winslet.

Rogue: Hmm, she's a hard one...who ever is cast as her must have the ability to come off strong yet very vulnerable at the same time. I think I would give Neve Campbell a shot she comes across as some one who can do that with chracters in movies like "Wild Things" and "Scream".

jada pinket smith could be a good storm recast....
 
I don't know what you guys are talking about. Famke is extremely attractive! She totally rocked as Jean.

uhhh I like Famke but she's not extremely attractive I think she looks alot better with black hair. But she does look older than Marsden and wasn't the best person to cast as Jean.

what about if itwere the year 2000? Who would you cast then?
 
^ If it were the year 2000:
Jean: I said in my earlier post that I would cast Kate Winslet as Jean her acting ability is amazing and when she has red hair Kate just strikes me as Jean.

Rogue: Neve Campbell, she to me would make an amazing Rogue just by looking at characters shes played in the past, in 2000 she looked young enough to be cast. She'd be great now too.

Storm: She's really tough to cast so I'm not quite sure...I would probably go with a little known actress, definately not Halle Berry, she's a good actress just not for Storm, I don't hate her as Storm she just does alright. And my reason for not saying Angela Bassett is that she was offered the role but turned it down because she didn't like the script (she is a fan of Storm and didn't like how the character was handeled). But if it was up to me I would definately have gotten her. Actresses like Garcelle Beauvais and Vivica A. Fox come to mind as well.

Scarlett as Jean Grey? Why?! Noooooo!
And I think that Anna Paquin was a good choice for Rogue. She just wasn't written very well.
 
You know she's either a hit or miss with some people so to each his/her own, I love her.
And While Rogue could have been written better Anna Paquin just doesn't come across as Rogue she's too soft way too soft I wouldn't even believe Anna if they had written Rogue like she is in the comics, she is like Halle Berry, she is good for the way the character was written in the Films but in a "faithful" adaption she would never work.

Yes, what a perfect Jean Grey! What a perfect, 50 year old Jean Grey :dry:

Seriously, she was too old for the role before she was even cast in the role, and that was 10 years ago.

Watch True Blood.... Anna can EASILY play rogue. She was just never given the chance due to poor writing.
 
That casting wasn't for an X4 I was just doing an if I started the X-Men movies casting

Well that makes sense, when I read "Storm: Angela Bassett" I was like WTF she's too old,LOL! I kind of like the choice of Ryan Phillippe as Angel, though.

To Spideyboy: You know everytime I say I'm gonna watch that show something comes up, is her character rogue like? I guess I'll have to start tuning in to see...I still like Neve Campbell though.

Who would you guys cast as jean Grey but think from the perspective of "Its the first film and its the year "2000" because alot of people didnt like Famke because of her age.

she's sassy and southern... thats all you really need acting wise to play rogue.... that and anna is a pretty good actress, she was just never able to be rogue in the movies
 
This is all the casting that I could come up with.

The X-Men:

Pierce Brosnan as Professor Charles Xavier
Patrick Wilson as Scott Summers/Cyclops
Eric Bana as Logan/Wolverine
Elijah Wood as Kurt Wagner/Nightcrawler
Colin Farrell as Remy LeBeau/Gambit
Brandon Routh as Piotr Rasputin/Colossus
Matthew Goode as Warren Worthington III/Angel
Chris Pine as Bobby Drake/Iceman
Kevin Grevioux as Lucas Bishop
Bruce Willis as Nathan Summers/Cable

The Brotherhood:

Jeremy Irons as Erik Lensherr/Magneto
David Thewlis as Jason Wyngarde/Mastermind
Andy Serkis as Mortimer Toynbee/Toad
Russell Crowe as Victor Creed/Sabretooth
Thomas Haden Church as Cain Marko/Juggernaut
 
I was thinking if it was rebooted that Pierce Brosnan would be a good Xavier
 
^^^The casting that I did is for the X-Men reboot, not First Class or X4.
