"The Official Lenny Kravitz as Angel (Formerly Played By Ben Foster) Casting Thread"

 

[Electrix]

I'm thinking Angel may be Storm's 'codename'. I hope it is anyway. They used 'Willow' for Mystique so [insert random black teenage female mutant] for Storm.

Angel either has wings and lays eggs or has a combination of Iceman and Pyro's powers. I fail to see how either will be required for the plot.

 

[Chewy]

Unless this is a reboot I think Storm would be a little younger than that respective to Xavier/Magneto/Beast's ages

 

[Project862006]

some weird casting is all i know

we thought Benjamin Walker was Beast then No
we thought Rosamund Pike was Moira Taggeret then NO
we thought Alice Eve was Emma Frost then NO
we thought Amber Heard was Mystique then NO

shoudl get amber heard for jean honestly

Yeah, similar to "The Man in Black". They often give character castings "Under-Wraps" names to shock and awe the fans when someone who could easily pass for a young Halle Berry (but better) is cast as, well, the bizarro version of Ben Foster... OH MY SHOCKER!

Actually, we thought Rosamund Pike was Emma, then Alice Eve, now (maybe?) January Jones.

There's never a dull day, when it comes to casting X-Men - First Class!
But...but...Alice Eve?

My brain hurts.

Unless they're looking to add random mutants a la The Last Stand... but why add characters that no one cares about seeing (at least some of the numerous mutant cameos in X3 were fan favorites... like Cyclops -lolzgetit?) who have the same codename as characters previously seen in the film series and powers that wouldn''t seem to be necessary at all?

 

[Project862006]

since amber Heard was up for mystique i believe she could be jean?

 

[JP]

My brain hurts.

Mine too. I need a First Class break.

Zoe would be so perfect for Storm. She can easily pass as a young Halle Berry, but she's not as mousy. She's a badass.

I'd say to frustrate the hell out of us.

I think she also goes by Tempest

January Jones would be fine as Emma, if this wasnt a prequel.

What is all this talk about ages? Their ages are not going to reflect their characters. Obviously, the 20-something actors are playing teenagers and the 30-something actors are going to range from 20s to 40s.

Nobody complained when Lea Tompson and Crispen Glover played Michael J Fox's parents when in real life they are around the same age.

That makes little sense. I mean, we saw Emma in Wolverine, and her look wasn't all that memorable. That's if they're even keeping all that within continuity.

Well they never said her name in that movie so she was just Kayla's sister. Nothing more.

That's not really a relevant example in this case as a) they were playing the same age as MJF for the vast majority of the film and b) there's already precedent for ages in this film series and Storm being ten years younger than Magneto ain't it

 

[Project862006]

well Alice eve is what 3/4 year younger than January lol

Diamond hard skin, white tee, blonde hair, generic hotness, slight chemistry with Scott... yeah, totally not Emma.

Emma Silverfox is not Emma Frost.

Where was it established that Magneto is only 10 yrs older than the rest?

 

[Chewy]

Fassbender's 33. Kravitz is 22.

No telepathy, No hotness, Native American ancestry... ya, totally a random mutant.
