Fan CastingX-Men

• fredericarrowsmith Faran Tahir was a villain in Iron Man (I forgot this once before and have an old story where I cast him as Apocalypse)

  • stevepwayne914   @fredericarrowsmith True, but his participation is small in Iron Man. Jemma Chan played Minerva in Captain Marvel, but she plays Sersi of the Eternals too, so I don't think that would be a problem.

• joeyfantana I took a look but couldn't see the story written anywhere, am I missing it? Not sure if you had a plot or general arc mapped out... In terms of casting, I'm not overly in agreement with many of them (will list the ones I like below), I can cast votes if you want me to, but there are really only two I'd back (see below). Specifically I don't get the current support for Esposito as Prof X - if anything I'd think he would be better as Magneto (Magneto was a Jew and the Holocaust drove much of his beliefs and actions, so as it's now impossible to use that as a motive for the character (they'd have to be 80 odds) casting Magneto as a person of colour makes it easier to apply a similar background through racial profiling, various atrocities of more modern times put about minorities. The other one I just plain don't get is Gibson for Wolverine... his CV does not fill me with confidence and looks like he's closer to Sabretooth. For me. Think the problem I have with most of the castings is, if you take Ms Marvel as the blueprint, it looks as though Marvel will be introducing the X gene in youngsters, late teens-to-early-20s, so I suspect the cast you've gone with are predominantly too old.The other thing I'll say is it looks a little villain heavy - too many heavy hitters in one movie, but that might be me missing something as I can't see the plot anywhere. Hope that's not too disheartening feedback, meant to be constructive. In terms of positives, going by the surnames, it looks as though Rogue and Gambit are married. That's an interesting angle that makes me wonder if your idea revolves around introducing these characters later in the MCU timeline, which negates some of my above feedback. Of all your castings I think Storm and Sinister are the two most on point. Mena Massoud and Vanessa Kirby are both really good shouts too, but I would probably cast them as other characters elsewhere personally. Oh and Joel Edgerton (my original choice for Ben Grimm). Anyway let me know if I'm overlooking the story you outlined and I'll double back and give it a read. Cheers

  • fredericarrowsmith   @joeyfantana I agree with everything you said Wolverine is an Alpha not an underdog (Radcliffe and especially Egerton excel as the Underdog) and your choice would be?

  • joeyfantana   @fredericarrowsmith hey. My comment above about ages, I would probably exempt Wolverine from that as he is over 100 years old but still ageing slowly. So someone a bit older is more realistic. In truth I think all three of those suggestions are horrible, Gibson is too blocky and has no charisma, and the other two don't look tough enough for the part. None of them could carry off a seasoned, master of his domain character like Logan convincingly for me.

  • fredericarrowsmith   @joeyfantana I kind of see it if he bulks up (there's plenty of 'special' supplements readily available in Hollywood) but the dumb racist internet would find out that he's mixed race and go crazy if he was cast so to Christopher Abbott as Wolverine I'd say I'm with it.
