Colin Salmon seems like he'd be better for Apocalypse. He would be imposing already and would have a booming voice.

Agrreed with this fancast especially Prof X and Cyclops

 

[MilkmanDan]

I'm glad to see Tobias Menzies get some recognition. I've liked him as an actor since Rome. I also like the choices for Scott and Jean individually but I think they should be closer to age. Either the actor for Jean should be a bit older or, ideally, the one for Scott younger. Although I have a surprisingly hard time trying to think of good, charismatic, twenty-something male actors.

That's the issue I had as well, so I just went with the actor who I feel would make a good Cyclops for the purpose of this cast list , even if he's in his late 30s.

If I think of an actor closer to Zoey's age, I'll make an updated cast with the new Cyclops.

Rogue - Billie Lourd

Gambit - Lakeith Stanfield

Dunno if this was inspired by my post, but heck yeah dude! I really want to see these two in a Mr and Mrs X romantic adventure film. I don't know why but I can just see them having really good chemistry.

 

[BoredGuy]

I like Frodo's list above, save for Henwick as Psylocke and Hafthor for Juggs. He's too on the nose, and has never shown he has any acting ability, and she just kind of annoys me in everything

I also like Lakeith Stanfield for Gambit, but I haven't seen Billie Lourd in enough to judge whether she could pull off Rogue

 

[NotNickFury]

Plus Henwick's already been in the MCU anyway, and if the other actors returning is any indication, I don't see why she wouldn't as well. Unless Marvel and Disney just wanted a complete do-over on Iron Fist.

 

[Frodo]

Henwick was up for a role in Shang Chi, so Feige and co didn't consider her off limits just because she did Iron Fist on Netflix , so that's not really a hinderance as far as Marvel is concerned.

 

[ALittlePush]

Storm- Tracy Ifeachor
Gambit- Glen Powell
Rogue-Christina Chong
Polaris-Amanda Seyfried
Blob- Jorge Garcia
Beast- Kelsey Grammer (either Beast would be CGI with Grammer's voice or they might do a Darth Vader and have someone do the physical stuff and keep Grammer's voice)
Jubilee- Leah Lewis
Jean Grey- Rachelle Lefevre
Cyclops- Josh Dallas
Magneto- Timothy Dalton
Professor X- Colin Salmon
Mystique- Gemma Arterton
Shadowcat- Molly Kunz
Nightcrawler- Percy Hynes White
White Queen- Jessica Chastain
Black Queen- Lana Parilla
