Sequels Recasting the X-Men for the MCU

[Dark Raven]

I think Emma Stone would be a decent pick for Jean Grey, particularly if they go the early Marvel Girl version.

But you can't cast someone like her and then a weak actor for Scott Summers. That would be exactly like having James Marsden alongside Famke Janssen. You can't have her and everyone else completely outshine Cyclops.

CG is definitely the way to go for Beast. The makeup in the last two films made him look more like Teenwolf and the running and jumping he does is extremely akward since all of his proportions are human length:

That doesn't work for me

What are some new characters you're dying to see? I would love to see sunfire.

That's part of the reason I want to see the savage land or genosha. I was watching an episode of the animated series where the xmen get kidnapped and have to fight their way out of genosha which is guarded by sentinels. There were some great cameos and a great way to show off everyone's favourite xmen and their powers.

Anyway Tatsuya Fujiwara would be a great sunfire

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.

I have to say, I dig your choices, especially Emma Stone.

 

[LaughterLives]

Colin Farrell is definitely an interesting idea for wolverine



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

I follow her on instagram, I can't get enough of her.

RuPaul would make an interesting Professor X hahaha! I can seriously see it now.

 

[Mad Ones]

I love Krasinski. It would be awesome if he got cast as someone.

Riz Ahmed too.

I'm dying to see Morph from the animated series.

YES! This is the best pick for Logan I've heard in awhile. Just finished watching "Spartacus" and have been wondering which superhero would fit him (the Arrowverse has already scooped up most of the cast, funnily enough).

Iceman - Will Poulter

 

[Spider-Fan83]

extended cast...

Wolverine - Milo Ventimiglia

Hes 5'10! Wolverine is called RUNT for a reason

 

[Brawl]

extended cast...

Wolverine - Milo Ventimiglia: hes gotta bulk up majorly.

Storm - Pearl Mackie: NO she is not in any way fit to play storm,

Morph - Jonathan Tucker : as good as anything else

Rogue - Paloma Kwiatkowski: totally depends on what Rogue they go with

Kitty Pryde - Joey King: as good as anything else

No a million times to the storm pick

 

[Spider-Fan83]

^ya, knew that wasn't going to be a popular pick... was just put names out there (had Doc Who fresh in mind)

hes gotta bulk up majorly.

fair enough, I would imagine that goes without saying for anyone who get's cast, tho (short of casting some wrestler and bodybuilder) just thinking out side the box

It's about comparatively speaking. Say they get an actor Armie Hammers height to play Cyclops he'd be considereda runt by comparison.

Also thank you all for liking my suggestions!

 

[Kuwolski]

A 5'10 actor would hardly be an issue when it comes to Wolvie. Jackman is taller then that.

 

[AndrewGilkison]

Professor X - Graham McTavish

Cyclops - Chris Pine

Jean Grey - Emma Stone

Wolverine - Either Tom Hardy or an unknown.

Magneto - Liam Neeson

Emma Frost - Rosamund Pike

Kitty Pryde - Hailee Steinfeld

Tom Hardy is a fan favorite and he's 5'9 1 inch of height is apparently appropriate over another.

 

[Silvermoth]

You know who would be a fun Emma frost?

Nicolette Sheridan. Just full on diva. Hard to cast without knowing who is playing Scott though. Although she would totally be a cougar

 

[Kuwolski]

If we start looking for actors much closer to Wolverine's comic size, then we're diminishing the talent pool greatly. Hugh Jackman is actually one of the taller actors around in terms of the average median height.

jackman's height was always his main critic on the role.
Honestly for me Jackman never seemed like wolverine as much as he was Jackman the really good actor playing an Xman. Jackman shined because he was a great actor not because he was particularly carried the essence of wolverine IMO. I thought he came real close on old man wolverine but that was hes best characterization IMO.

 

[Brawl]

Professor X - Graham McTavish: Not bad

Cyclops - Chris Pine: Cyclops is so vanilla I think a great actor can really add something tot he role, great choice

Jean Grey - Emma Stone hmm sorry I just think she is unattractive, my pet peeve she might be good so ill leave judgement on this to others since im biased due to her unattractiveness to me.

Wolverine - Either Tom Hardy or an unknown.:Same pick i made so great of course lol, I agree a unknown might also be a great second choice

Magneto - Liam NeesonWOW IMPRESSIVE

Emma Frost - Rosamund PikeNever thought of her but could work, intersting

Kitty Pryde - Hailee Steinfeldcould work. Kitty is another vanilla character so why not.

Very impressive list of star power on this list. I think definitely would make a great movie based on skills alone. Bravo!

We do that anyways in movies LOL It all depends on how important the trait is for the role. You need a large size man to play Kingpin, I don't care how good actors are if they are not impressive in stature they can't play the Kingpin.
