Sequels Young Magneto Casting Thread

[Prop_Replicas]

i'd also like an unknown actor. sometimes i just can't get actors PAST characters out of my head when i see them in different films

 

[Penguin]

I'd say Karl Urban.

 

[scorchedmuse]

I really like Karl Urban but I'm not so sure I can see him in the part.

Has there been any rumors or anything on who is actually being considered for to play Magneto?

 

[Keyser Soze]

It's an unconventional casting choice, but I think Paddy Considine could be a really good young Magneto.

I thought the villain from the Blade TV series was a perfect Magneto.

Neil Jackson:

Is Karl Urban the default choice for every superhero film or is that Jude Law? His name is everywhere.

James McAvoy?

Is he a good actor?

Personally, I was thinking of the guy who played Hannibal in Hannibal Rising. He's got the right look and he can play the origin of a madman pretty well.

 

[Electrix]

Is he a good actor?

Yep, I think he's good. He's just done Atonement with Keira Knightly and is filming Wanted with Angelina Jolie and Morgan Freeman. I suppose that doesn't prove that he can act but before he went onto movies he was on British TV and was great.

This guy?

Very good. Waiting for Atonement (which I'm seeing probably tomorrow), I'd suggest to see "The last king of Scotland" nice movie with great performances of both McAvoy and Forest Whitaker.

 

[Punitore]

James McAvoy?

perfect!

 

[flavio_lebeau]

James Mcavoy would be really nice. And I see some Mckellenish nose there on the third pic.

 

[Electrix]

Some more James McAvoy because David Goyer may visit these forums

The hard part will be finding a young Patrick Stewart.

Young Magneto

Young Charles

by the way do we have any clue how old are they going to be in this movie?

 

[Electrix]

The hard part will be finding a young Patrick Stewart.

Its hard because we need to see what people look like when they are bald. They need to find someone who has the facial structure similar to Patrick.

 

[BobJM]

Yea, I can't picture people bald. It's too hard for me, thus I'm useless in finding a young Xavier.

 

[BobJM]

Gaspard Ulliel. I just thought of him becuase he managed to humanize Hannibal Lecter, doing the same for Magneto wouldn't be hard for him. Plus, he's got a resemblence to Sir Ian.

 

[flavio_lebeau]

I think this Gaspard is too pretty boy...and young. Isn't Mags in his late twenties/early thirties in the movie? He looks like an 18 years old...imo.

 

[Antonello Blueberry]

Time for a poll?
McAvoy, Ulliel, McGregor, Rhys Meyers, Sturgess?

Would you like to make it or shall I?

 

[Antonello Blueberry]

I was waiting for some last minute nominations.

 

[Electrix]

I was waiting for some last minute nominations.

I'll nominate Jude Law, simply because he looks a bit like a young Ian McKellen.

 

[flavio_lebeau]

I'd be torn between McGregor and McAvoy. Both great actors, both look like Ian, and both have the nose. They even have the Mc thing going on
