[Neptune]

He's of Aboriginal Australian and Haitian American decent. He is a "black guy." Bishop is also Aboriginal Australian. It's not like people cast in the movies don't bulk up a bit and even still not everyone needs to look like a Jim Lee drawing.

Yep. I was looking for black Australian actors and Lochard really stood at to me as, "Bishop."

Ok, i thought he was Latino. I don't think he looks like Bishop at all but to be fair i have never seen him act. Maybe he could pull it off regardless. I'd pick a more square jawed, taller, darker dude. Don't have anyone in mind though.

 

[Dark Raven]

Halle Bailey for Storm.

Might as well get another Halle.

 

[Jordacar]

I'd also be cool with her sister Chloe

 

[Eddie Dean]

What about Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke’s kid as Jean Grey?

 

[Jordacar]

Add her to the surprisingly long list of legacy actors to consider, right next to Milo Gibson and Scott Eastwood

 

[Eddie Dean]

Sorry, Wyatt Russell is the only good legacy pick for Wolvie.

 

[Jordacar]

Patrick Schwarzeneggar might be lanky enough for Cyclops

 

[BobJM]

Patrick Schwarzeneggar might be lanky enough for Cyclops

Harris Dickinson might have him beat in the slim & tall contest.

 

[x-er]

how is khaleesi as Empress Lilandra or Moira

 

[Silvermoth]

Ok if lilandra is like, five years old. The actress who plays her should have some gravitas and wisdom

 

[DawnWarrior]

Lilandra should be close to the same age as whoever plays Xavier. And I hope the Shi'Ar have a nice exotic alien-bird look to them; the Guardians movies have done okay with that kind of thing so it should be fine.

Well, you can't deny she portrayed a fan favorite for Game of Thrones. She's got the spark to me. That plus good writing and effects is enough. Plus, I don't know if you've watched the clip of the Avengers 4 when Captain Marvel meets Thor, the one they used to market the film? Out of the context of the movie, that scene's acting isn't the oscar-winning type.

Btw Emilia Clarke should try some comedy as well. If they let her do just a bit of improv and pranking, I think they could make something really funny. When's that gonna happen???

 

[DawnWarrior]

Emilia is an extraordinary goofball in interviews, yeah. Comedy, bring it.

 

[Silvermoth]

Lilandra is not really a comedy character. She might look goofy by today’s standards (all silver age characters do) but I wouldn’t say the need to be goofy is an important prerequisite of the character.

As Dawn Warrior said lilandra should be a similar age to Xavier so unless they get like, Shawn mendes for Charles, there’s more a few other options out there to consider first

 

[x-er]

Hmm, are you thinking something more Kate Blanchett? I can see that

 

[Mad Ones]

[TOTALLY NOT SERIOUS, JUST FOR FUN CASTING]

Archie Andrews as Cyclops

(Dark) Betty Cooper as Jean Grey

Veronica Lodge as Emma Frost

Josie McCoy as Storm

Kevin Keller as Iceman

and

Jughead Jones as Wolverine

Spoiler

 

[Silvermoth]

Hmm, are you thinking something more Kate Blanchett? I can see that

Yeah, I mean not exactly like her obviously because Cate is already in the marvel u but someone with that grandioseness. Maybe even a theatre star, like a patti lupone type

[Dark Raven]

Since they already managed to get Rachel Weisz in the MCU, how about Daniel Craig as Wolverine?

Unless he would need 4 years between each film.

Nah, I’d take Craig as Magneto though.

 

[Silvermoth]

Ha I was actually think Craig as doom. Funny how everyone was thinking about him.

I don’t know what he’s like when the cameras aren’t rolling though? He might get a bit tired of genre films and whoever plays magneto or doom has to be prepared for like an eight film contract without complaining

 

[Jordacar]

That's a great point about Craig. On the other hand, Magneto and Doom are both a lot juicier roles for an actor than James Bond, right?
