Gorjesspazze9 Posted May 15, 2022 Posted May 15, 2022 Marvel Studios is currently casting the X-Men in the MCU. Casting has started since October 2020. Mutants will be showing up in several Films and Disney + series leading up to the X-Men's Official first Film slated as TBA. however several actors have received calls from Marvel casting. this Thread is created for the rumored original 6 member team of the X-Men that will comprise the group . Mutants projects will take an avenger trajectory, building up the stories to these Major characters before their team up film. use this thread to cast your first Class of Mutants. these Castings are not spoilers to any films. as most of these actors are either fancasted or have been contacted for roles in the MCU with disclosed decisions. this is for discussion purposes. Project CodeName: Uncanny X-Men is still years away, but we have already seen mutants and will see more sooner then you think. Professor Xavier/ Bryan Cranston (Creator of the Uncanny X-Men & School for Gifted Youngsters) As Mutant's begin to appear, Xavier uses Cerebro to find Mutants that are discriminated against. Bryan's professor X use's Sympathy and telepathy to control Mutant's powers. while offering them housing and tutelage at his school. Bryan is an excellent actor with Critically acclaim series like Breaking Bad under his belt. he would give a stellar performance. Cyclops/Liam Hemsworth (Leader & First Member) The first Class member that Xavier recruits in his Men Initiative. Liam is another actor that looks the part and can turn an other wise boring character like Cyclops into an action hero. Liam has worked on multiple action films and is most known for his role in Hunger Games. experience in Action movies can add to his fight sequences in the MCU. IceMan/Chris Colfer (Class Clown) Canonically, the Next Member to join the X-men. after being harassed about his powers and coming out, this is one of the most import character for representation in the X-men. Chris is most known for his work on Glee and publicly being a very entertaining and funny actor. bringing his real life LGBTQ activism into this role, as well as the humor and personality bobby has in the comics. he also looks the role, as Iceman was young looking in most iterations of the comics. IceMan Can be the comic relief, but also have strong representation and storylines. Jean Grey/ Anya Taylor Joy (Teacher's Pet & The Phoenix) Jean Grey is the Special Telepathy/Telekinetic that is even more powerful the Professor X. Anya already played a mutant in another universe, with a spectacular performance. She has the look, the Acting chops, and the fanbase to make Jean Grey actually popular on the big screen. hopefully Marvel can do what they did to Wanda, and generate a massive story arch for her. Kitty Pryde/Millie Bobby Brown (Valedictorian) Shadowcat/Kitty Pryde can replace Angel in this lineup. mainly because we don't really need a guy with wings in the MCU. we already have Falcon. Millie Bobby brown has been contacted by Marvel multiple times. of all the X-Men, this is the perfect role for her. the power to phase through objects has been seen through vision. but Kitty Pryde can use many inventive ways with her power. Millie also looks the part and has several years playing a superpowered teenager. Storm/Kiki Layne (Teacher's Assistant) Another highly anticipated Mutant, Kiki Layne brings the acting depth needed for such an import role. as this will be the biggest Female African American/role model hero in the MCU. Storm is a powerhouse with storylines that intersect greatly with professor X and Black Panther. she is seen as the leader when Cyclops isn't around. giving her a leadership position at the school is ideal. Wolverine/Scott Eastwood (Post-Credit Scene) Hugh Jackman's Predecessor has huge shoes to fill. however, Scott Eastwood has the look for a more contemporary Wolverine. making Wolverine the cool uncle type character would fit in with Disney. however Scott has played hero shows, and has the acting range to bring out the Berserk and violent side of Logan. since Wolverine is such a massive character he shouldn't be in the film until the pot credit scene. Disney+ has already confirmed a solo series for him. that where his origin and character development can be handled. the X-men 1 film should be similar to Avengers 1. as professor X get's his students to work together in a X-Men first class type of way. Disney+ and other Marvel films can introduce other Mutants, but the first film should focus on these core characters.
MingYouToo Posted May 15, 2022 Posted May 15, 2022 Wolverine has to be short tho! Scott Eastwood is WAY too gigantic to be the annoying runt Wolverine!
BOOMBAYAH Posted May 15, 2022 Posted May 15, 2022 I think half of the casting will be race-bent since Storm was kind of the token black member + Marvel is looking for diversity with it’s ensembles. I can see Cyclops being played by a black actor.
anklebiterrs Posted May 15, 2022 Posted May 15, 2022 ATJ and MBB are good choices for those characters, tho idk if they’d use ATJ again after New Mutants.

Oxy Posted May 15, 2022 Posted May 15, 2022 If they want diversity then they should go with this team: Storm an African queen. Sun fire a Japanese icon. Forge a Native American genius. Jubilee a Chinese underdog. Dust the original Arabian princess. There are so many, but please don’t race swap the original members.

I do think its a strong possibility they would race-bend Jean to try and avoid direct comparisons to Wanda.
Johnny Jacobs Posted May 15, 2022 Posted May 15, 2022 Not Chris colfer Liam hemsworth has no talent so y
ALittleGauche Posted May 15, 2022 Posted May 15, 2022 I knew I was gay at a young age when I would watch the X-Men animated series and my favourite opening shot was Jubilee throwing glitter at the screen. I stanned.
Vitaly Posted May 15, 2022 Posted May 15, 2022 (edited) Asian casts count in this so far: zero. Marvel better get a couple or three if they actually looking to "diversify ", and by that I mean 1 East Asian, 1 South Asian, and 1 South East Asian Get Sunfire, Surge, Tyger Tiger, Omega, & Jubilee in!

I'm curious to see what team line up they'll go with. I think it'll be a mix of first class (Cyclops and Jean), second genesis (Storm, Wolverine, Thunderbird) and animated series (Jubilee). That way they can have a pretty diverse cast.

Well this is just the first class. There are hundreds of mutants tho. Plenty of choices for diversity
Miles. Posted May 15, 2022 Posted May 15, 2022 Storm: T’Nia Miller Cyclops: George Mackay Jean: Anya Taylor Joy Iceman: Patrick Schwarzenegger Gambit: Dacre Montgomery Rogue: Julia Garner Wolverine: N/A (for the love of god he’s been in enough movies please just leave him out)
TheOnlyOne Posted May 15, 2022 Posted May 15, 2022 Storm: Jodie Turner-Smith Cyclops: Rome Flynne Jean Grey: Rose Leslie Nightcrawler: Timothee Chalamet Cast newbies/unknowns for Iceman and Jubilee. Introduce Rogue & Gambit in the sequel.

Just a Gay on ATRL Posted May 15, 2022 Posted May 15, 2022 I want Bryan as a in-your-face evil Magneto but fine
Guest Posted May 15, 2022 Posted May 15, 2022 They should introduce firestar and iceman and making them team up with Spiderman for a movie
