Days of Future Past X-Men Origins: First Class--Post Your Casting Choices Here

I think the movie should focus on Magneto and Professor X putting together the frist X-Men team..Have them meet Forge who could help them build cerebro, danger room and x jet

The frist team should be
Jean
Cyclops
Storm
Beast
Banshee
 
I have a feeling they are going for a more "teenage" look than Jessica Biel. She is a fine actress but she is a "woman" not a teen.

Ok true, but there are "grown" men & women who play teenage roles in film/tv; e.g "90210", Melrose Place, Gossip Girl....it doesn't take much to make someone appear younger (hair & make-up) and also they have to be a good actor, so the audience believes it...the actors that portrayed "young" Scott & Emma are not in there teens, but it worked...
 
Yeah, but most of those actors on those shows can pull off being a teen look wise. Biel can't. She looks like a grown woman.
 
I'd like to see Thunderbird or maybe Warpath included. Maybe include Havok and Polaris, having them leave during the X-men/Brotherhood split to do their own thing, opening up the possibility of some other X-teams movies since X-3 jacked this one up so badly.
 
Scott Porter is also good, either for Scott or for Beast
 
I think they should stick with jean and NOT include Emma. Save Emma for X4, as a sexy adult
 
Emma Watson of Harry Potter as a young Jean, if she can do an american accent and die her hair.
 
I love Elizabeth Mitchell, but she's more woman-next-door. Emma needs to be more like Naomi Watts or Melissa George.
 
I was watching "Mercy" the other day and to me actress Sonia Jimenez, stood out for me, she's beautiful and i.m.o she would be a contender for a young "Storm"
-right dialect coach
-right wig piece
I think she could pull off what Halle started

I'm SOooooooooooo happy to hear Singer is coming back to the franchise! It's been a while since I've been on, hope everyone is doing well:yay:
 
Maybe Zac Efron for Cyclops?
I actually wouldn't mind that, but wouldn't they just use the actor who played Cyke in the wolverine origins movie? (I forgot his name)
 
John Hurt as Magneto

Daniel Craig would be a fantastic choice as either Xavier or Magneto, but would probably make a fantastic Magneto that we could all see evolve into Ian McKellan.

James Marsters is a very good choice for Xavier.

I dig the Ashley Greene choice for Jean Grey. Chick has some screen presence and is mega hot.

I think the hands down choice for Storm should be Rutina Wesley, who plays Tara on True Blood. Google it, nerds.

Anton Yelchin as Cyclops seems like a great fit.

Kellen Lutz as Colossus would be a natural choice.

But Stephen Lang as Cable is ****ing exciting. I'm really into that idea. Man could he nail it.
 
Based purely on talk of Matthew Vaughn directing, and the possibility of him hiring actors and actresses he's worked with before:

Chloe Moretz as Jean Grey?

Mark Strong as Xavier?

Obviously this will depend on age. Mark may be too old for the Xavier in the script, and Chloe may be too young depending how old the teen X-Men will be.

ya sure well, were at it... how about

Aaron Johnson - Cyclops
Clark Duke - Beast lol
Christopher Mintz-Plasse - Toad lol

hmmm an I wonder who Cage could play...? LOL

tho, I guess, I would mind Chloe Moretz for young (well, younger) Jean for any flashbacks... but, for the main part of the movie I would execpt her to be older

I might say, Lyndsy Fonseca for Jean (if were taking from KA cast)

but, in general, I am really a big fan of directors reusing actor/actress they've worked with before, tho...
 
Daniel Craig as Magento and Mark Strong as Professor X are awesome choices but both have other commitments this year. Craig is going to be filming "Cowboy and Aliens" soon and Strong is already filming "Green Lantern" and "John Carter of Mars"
 
If any of you suggest anyone from ANY Disney franchise, i.e. high school musical or hannah montana, I'll cut you ..

Chances are they will get the same actor's who played young Jean, Scott and Emma .. only Storm and Beast need to be recast at the moment.. I would like to see Emma defect or betray the team because of her elitist point of view. In a way they can have Scott and Emma as a couple, and have Jean come in between them and have Emma be a rival to Jean.

I would like to see Storm join the team, maybe with Banshee, and Thunderbird as well like how it was when the "second genesis" team was brought in. Sunfire is unneeded because we already had a fire based mutant.

PLEASE no Wolverine in First Class. He's been done to death and does not need to be in this!
 
Not knowing how young they wanna go with Xavier and Magneto and I guess this is somewhat by the book casting but I figured;

EDIT: I just realised I've probably gone a little too young with these choices given there is probably a 30 or 40 year gap between Xavier/Magneto and the students, as established in the X-Men films but I thought I would just leave the post up rather than erase it...
