Sequels Recasting the X-Men for the MCU

[Spider-Fan83]

I think an outside box pick would spice up Beast

speaking of out side the box casting of a formal "Heroes" star...

had a interesting thought, what about Milo as Wolverine?

the dude has matured and bulked up a lot since those days

Interesting. But is he tiny? (I do miss sweet and cute milo ventimiglia though)

I feel like the two roles that will sink or swim marvel's xmen are going to be storm and rogue. Storm I'm not even going to try with. I thought Alexandra shipp was treated horribly just for doing her job and for stuff she couldn't even help.

I wouldn't love to see lake bell as a more confident badass rogue though. Have her appear in a broadcast with the brotherhood of mutants in a different movie and then bring her in to the xmen

he's pretty short (if that's what your asking) like maybe 5'9"... look at the way his "this is us" co-stars tower over him

or

I know Padalecki over towers everyone lol but still

 

[Silvermoth]

What else could I be referring to? I wasn't...you know. Being dirty.

Yeah interesting idea

 

[Silvermoth]

Ok, I'll try and do a cast list with the animated series

Charles Xavier - Morgan freeman


Cyclops - Riz Ahmed


Jean grey - Alison Williams


Storm - Teyonah Parris


Wolverine - travis fimmell

Rogue - Lake Bell

Juggernaut - hafpor bjornsson

Hey who is going to cast the brotherhood of mutants? I'm dying to see Australian pyro for once!

Not sure about the other Brotherhood members. But how about Rhys Wakefield (the creepy guy from The Purge) for an Australian Pyro?

 

[fan4stic]

I can dig Matt Lanter as Cyclops and even Amanda Righetti as Jean. However they're more TV actors than movie actors. Don't know if Marvel will want them.

Not so keen on Fiennes as Professor X. And definitely not Jamie Bell as Wolverine. He even seemed too weedy to be Ben Grimm.

And no to Liam Hemsworth as Colossus. After having a comic accurate looking Colossus in Deadpool, why go back to the more primitive method of doing it like Singer? It should be mo-capped, in which case they don't need Liam Hemsworth. The Colossus they have in Deadpool is perfectly fine.

And I don't see them replacing Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool with Chris Wood of all people. They'll keep Reynolds.

They're mainly tv, but have potential to do grander work.

Xavier has been portrayed as too kindly for too long. I like that version. But I want a kinda creepy seeming Xavier to do something new. Changed that to Emile Hirsch.

This isn't Deadpool and Colossus can't be in mo-cap all the time. But I changed that back to Armie Hammer.

That was if that rebooted. But Chris Wood isn't just boyfriend #32 as an actor. He gave a great performance on The Vampire Diaries as Kai. He's wasted on Supergirl.

I like them all except the pick for wolverine

I changed it to Emile Hirsch.

There's a really talented actor here called Ryan corr. He would be amazing.

I already said Marcia cross as mystique but that's the gay in me. I would have all the desperate housewives in the xmen universe

honestly I wasn't sure if you meant to type "isn't he tiny" like saying he's too skinny or has too tiny of a built for it... I was trying to point out that even tho, he's short, he's pretty proportionate buff for someone with his height and built

Oh right. I thought there was something about him I didn't know.

Anyway, I've always wanted to see nick frost as Beast or maybe Richard ayoade.

Plus how great would it be if he joined the avengers later too?

 

[Silvermoth]

And if they do get Morgan freeman for Charles they should get Jenifer Lewis for Cassandra Nova



Maybe her whole pitch is she wants something like the xmen but just as a militia force, not in terms of peaceful integration. That would make her different to what we've seen before and also show what makes the x-men so special. Plus we could see the savage land

 

[Silvermoth]

Although someone said Jane Fonda for Cassandra which would be amazing!

YAAAAAASSSS!...I love this woman.

 

[Jh7058622]

Storm needs to be played by Yaya Decosta!

Those cheekbones! That poise! The height! Girls got it all.

 

[Jh7058622]

Jean Grey Emma Stone because she's perfect.

John Krasinski as Cyclops he just has a stoic yet lovable nature we've failed to receive from previous castings he also looks like someone people would call "Slim"

And last but not least Dustin Clare as Wolverine he's got the early Colin Farrell look to him only more wide and can own the physical aspect very well while still being charismatic.

 

[Silvermoth]

Colin Farrell is definitely an interesting idea for wolverine

YAAAAAASSSS!...I love this woman.

She's so amazing. I heard her on the Rupaul podcast and she would be perfect for the role.

To be honest I could easily cast the entire xmen with Rupaul's drag race stars lol

that would be an interesting pick... kinda depends if they go with practical make-up effects or mo-cap CG

I 'd really like to see a truly hulking beastly Beast this time around... so, Frost would be a good voice for Beast

but, not a make up version

 

[Dark Raven]

I want the Avengers Beast in the MCU - the one who is more monkey like than cat like.

 

[Silvermoth]

I reckon they could do cgi well. I mean, hulk is cgi. It would probably be a relief for the actor not to have to go through 6 hours of makeup or whatever
