X-Men

To be honest this is one of the most original castings I’ve ever done rather than preferring the typical boring ones like rest of fans fan-casting pick.

I’m looking at this casting from a both Hollywood casting director and fans mindset, I’m intimately familiar with the X-Men comic books so I know all the intricacies of the characters personalities and traits.

What I do understand are the kinds of casts that make money and draw crowds, that may be through popularity or through “controversy”. Either-way I took into account the characters archetypes, the actors star power and especially how a general audience would respond to seeing them cast in the new MCU X-Men movies with right directions and scripts tell an X-men ever told before on big-screen.

1. Jonah Hauer-King as Cyclops

2. Jodie Comer as Emma Frost

3. Milo Gibson as Wolverine

4. Yetide Badaki as Storm

1. Andrey Trushin as Colossus

2. Francois Civil as Gambit

3. Paulina Chávez as Rogue

4. Connor Swindells as Beast

1. Odeya Rush as Shadowcat (Kitty Pryde)

1. Alyssa Wapanatâhk as Mirage

1. Rufus Sewell as Professor X

CONTAINS SPOILERS AHEAD

So filming for Doomsday apparently started the other day (production was March 26, filming on April 10), and it apparently starts at an under-attack X-Mansion. Since we know that the X-Men will be here, here’s my theory:

So it starts with the X-Mansion being attacked. Most of the X-Men and Brotherhood of Evil Mutants are killed, with Mystique, Cyclops, Nightcrawler, Professor X and Magneto barely escaping Doom’s attack. Continuing off of First Steps, the Fantastic Four find them, and assuming they’re enemies, they fight. However, it all stops when Doom recognizes the Fantastic Four, trying to fight them as well. However, they all just barely manage to escape with the Wormhole thing Reed Richards has been working on, although it’s unstable and transports them to some random universe (the Sacred Timeline)

I literally just woke up so you’re probably gonna be like “..this makes no sense at all but okay” but umm yeah

I hope that Marvel Studios dosen't make the same mistake that Fox did when they're trying to make Channing Tatum his Gambit film set in the Fox X-Men Universe with a bunch of Directors dropping out.

Rewatching x-men’97 and I noticed that Bastion’s plan, while killing or enslaving mutants comes first then human allies of mutants, is essentially leading to wiping out the entire population in general. That or turn them into prime sentinels. Which was practically every ultron iteration. So does that make him the same as Ultron?

Cause it be great for them to team up in stories.

Whenever X-Men make their official appearances in MCU (maybe Avengers: Secret Wars). Wanting to be new, unique and different from rather basic and uninspired lineups fan’s have created is too similar to either 90s animated series or Claremont run. Adding Mirage to the main team would have provided something different to other X-Men adaptations and having Mirage being on the main team instead of New Mutants (more a veteran than being a teenager) helped the MCU X-Men stay out of previous incarnations from movies, cartoons and video games.

X-Men never saw a proper live-action adaptation highlighting the relationships and interactions between each other except for Logan. Seeing Cyclops talk to Storm in a friendly manner or Colossus interacting with Nightcrawler or Logan trying to push Gambit into making things clear with Rogue would actually be welcome. We need a classic X-men story and a familiar feeling.

I'd love Wolverine to appear, don't get me wrong! But I'd almost rather he be a more mellow presence, more in a mentorship role than the central figure (Especially as Cyclops needs a lot more attention).

That was always a problem with the X-Men movies; you'd have like two characters front and center and everyone else is just supporting instead of an ensemble, which is what's worked for the MCU historically. If they’d introduce too many characters in one film, none of them are going to get enough screen time for people to care about them.

I'd keep it to a slim roster of 9-10 (not too big, Beast or Emma stay behind at the school until seems his in action) for the opening act allows audiences (old/new) get to known characters with some familiarity so Marvel Studios is not trying to retold while origins of the mutant’s again.

Members:

1. Brenton Thwaites as Cyclops

1. Jodie Comer as Emma Frost

1. Milo Gibson as Wolverine

1. Paul Mescal as Beast

1. Yetide Badaki as Storm

1. Andrey Trushin as Colossus

1. Julia Butters as Shadowcat

1. Francois Civil as Gambit

1. Rachel Zegler as Rogue

1. Alyssa Wapanatâhk as Mirage

1. Dougrlas Henshall as Professor X

Honestly. I highly doubt Marvel Studios left her out. My guess is she won’t have a huge role when X-Men esli themselves in MCU. Since she was the most slightly semi-important role in the Fox franchise. She will be in the reboot, but my bet is Storm, Emma and X-23 will be main female lead roles, with Jean taking a don’t appear, maybe less beings mention one or or twice.

I feel he would great with those rebooted X Men actors.

Who should be the overarching villain of the Mutant Saga? These two or another X-Men antagonist?

First off don’t use any actors or anything from the FOX X-MEN movies as much as possible. I've heard rumors that they want to start seasonal veterans as if they want to cast new actors.

So my idea is mostly to do with the introduction of the X-Men into the MCU. Basically after Secret Wars X-Men 's Earth were merged into the Main Universe and the multiverse was restored. I would have Cyclops being one of the main leads in the first X-Men Saga.

Skip whole back-stories, maybe establish mutant’s always exist in present days with hints of their origins in the background somewhere. Where the world may have experienced prejudice and violence on a large scale.

Maybe Cyclops selects the first few students and becomes the Next X-Men at the end of the first Marvel Studio X-Men with his ideals and vision of the future of mutants. Emma could then take those who maybe like him have experienced violence trauma like maybe X-23 can go.

I know my idea is similar to X-Men first class movies but my idea is different I think as in the cast. You start with seasonal members (Cyclops, Emma Frost, Storm, Wolverine, etc) then slowly introduce X-Men in training (Dust, Elixir, Hellion, Mercury, Rockslide, Surge and X-23).

Maybe even in their teens. Show how the progression of working together wanting to become X-Men.

Because if he does, then he will be the Quicksilver in the main X Men team moving forward since Evan Peters already plays his Fox X Men rebooted Timeline Universe version. Unless he dosen't want to come back and Evan Peters will play him in the X-Men since people like his Quicksliver better than A.TJ.

I think X-Men works best as a big ensemble, a found family, etc. I love that the animated series has 9-10 members and I’d take more than that!

A single movie - it’s hard, I don’t want it to be the eternals where there’s a million characters and they don’t get that much shading. And yet - I want a big team! I start listing characters would want to see Wolverine, Storm, Cyclops, Emma and a few more like Beast, Gamit, Rogue or Kitty are on the roster! There are so many characters I want to see in the MCU.

For me it would be Cyclops and Jubilee

Because I think that if the Disney-Fox buyout in late 2017 never happen at all then 21st Century Fox would have continue with their X Men film franchise with their version of Deadpool 3 and the X Force spin-off movie (The real X-Force team) they're were planning on making.

I think for me it's mostly X-Men members. Nova we will appear so there's that. Maybe Sword Master, I think it would interesting.
