Days of Future Past First Class Official Casting Thread

[Gambitxr3k]

You people and your overactive imagination....

 

[Rodrigo90]

Oh dear, he's in a bit of a rut right now,but he is a fantastic actor and Im sure he'll get better. He has quite a few upcoming things.

 

[DarthDaveBanner]

McAvoy has comic Xavier's eyebrows, awesome.

 

[Rodrigo90]

You people and your overactive imagination....

Anyway, I think McAovy will be great.

 

[spider-neil]

'TO ME, MY X-MEN!!'

'YES, SIR!!'

 

[squeekness]

He certainly is a handsome fellow.

 

[OptimusPrime114]

'TO ME, MY X-MEN!!'

'YES, SIR!!'

Save that for the caption thread. Speaking of which, why isn't there one?

 

[Project862006]

JRM does have that creepy villain look about him but anyways look what picture surfaced Aaron Johnson is First Class?

 

[Rodrigo90]

Aaron Johnson...Cyclops perhaps? He's too young for Magneto.

 

[UnionJack]

Sooo is this film carrying on from Wolverine Origins ... when we've already met Pro X?!? another Fox Fail!

 

[Spider-Fan83]

Aaron Johnson...Cyclops perhaps? He's too young for Magneto.

keep in mind that they will probably be showing Eric and Xavier
in various stages in their lifes...

 

[Nightmare]

Good casting, didnt see this coming at all. He's a great actor. Im sure he could pull off Prof x.

 

[Rodrigo90]

keep in mind that they will probably be showing Eric and Xavier
in various stages in their lifes...

Ahh, right. If thats the case...

Aaron as Teen Eric

Jonathan Rhys Meyers as Eric in his twenties-thirties

Clive Owen as mid-age Eric

 

[Nightmare]

Clive as Magneto? Hmm I kinda like that..

 

[JP]

Well, McAvoy is 31. I'd expect to see Magneto as someone about 40 or so. I never thought of Charles and Erik being the same age in the films. I always assumed Magneto was older.

 

[FaT_tONle]

I thought about McAvoy a while back... for Eric. Not sure about this. Doesn't seem like that ultimate good guy, but he can certainly capture Xavier's intelligence. Just figured him as more of a villain.

 

[Doctor Jones]

I see him as more of a good guy actually. And I don't see the similairty between him and Mckellen at all. Mcavoy looks like a thoughtful person even when he doesn't say much; constantly thinking which is what Stewart had. That's essential. He should be wise beyond his years.

I love the suggestion of JGL as young Eric... if he can pull off an English accent that is, or would they be following continuity?

 

[FaT_tONle]

I'm sure they'd drop the accent... but JGL wouldn't be terrible. Unless Nolan snags him for a Batman role or something. I am still completely vexed because I don't know exactly what they are doing with this movie. If they are going this young for Xavier, I am not even sure I want the First Class in the movie.

 

[xwolverine2]

what a random choice.... its not bad just random... like heath ledger as the joker was.

i love mcavoy though

 

[Man in the Suit]

Never would have guessed he's be Prof. X. At least it isn't some crazy choice.

 

[Van Petrol]

Ahh, right. If thats the case...

Aaron as Teen Eric

Jonathan Rhys Meyers as Eric in his twenties-thirties

Clive Owen as mid-age Eric

Can't see them pulling in as many these three actors to play one character.

 

[Van Petrol]

I like the idea of Johnson as Cyclops. I reckon this could be what he's up for, if he's involved in this production that is.

Me too. I was just thinking of actors who could play alongside McAvoy in comparison to him (i.e. agewise) and JGL came straight to mind. I think it could work.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Yeah, the picture of those two next to eachother but having opposing ideas is very interesting. I mean their facial features are very much the opposite, yet they do come together for a while, they share different ideals. Which done right could be fantastic. Imagine the first pic released to simply be these two standing side by side just looking out past the frame. Mcavoy's thoughtful face and Levitt's intense one. That would be great stuff right there.

 

[Van Petrol]

I'm liking the sound of that Doctor Jones.
