The Perfect Cast for The MCU's X-Men

[@CantinaTalkSW]

What would your MCU X-Men lineup look like?? Edit: this was video I made previously but wasn’t released fully. (Hence the sub goal, and the outdated secret wars info), but I added a bunch to this video today for you all so it’s still worth watching!

[@MrZilvis78]

Its not a bad idea I agree with some stuff but not with others. I collected comics...all x-titles from 1988 to 2005,still have them all. Plus random marvel/dc/ image stuff. Xmen 97 was great,no complaints and this ties into my first divergence...magneto, now look I don't know what peoples morbid obsession is with this guy, the 90s were so thick with magneto flip flopping, onslaught, Joseph, asteroids and limited series and then fox put this guy who was supposed to be an arch villain and kinda made an overused joke of him,having him in every single movie was so crazy im shocked he wasn't in the wolverine films and yes he was mentioned in Deadpool and wolverine but pretty sure that was a joke. No magneto...if you wanna give him the thanos treatment see him for 5 seconds for a couple movies then the reveal in movie 3 do it but no more "he's just eric,Eric, dude on the team" no he's a trauma damaged human hater who could clearly shut off earth based on 97,which was handled well he was there but I dont think a crazy amount. Beyond mags...I know they said the writer picked likes kitty pryde and gambit most,they are confirmed im sure...I hope she has Lockheed I miss that baby dragon. I think the core 5 should be there,then limited wolverine stuff he is my favorite but its fine at this point, jubilee done properly would be nice, then maybe branch out, young versions of xfactor,xforce,and Excalibur members could be fun or any newer ones from the last 15 years can be shoved in there. As for villain I agree sinister is the prime needed, with maybe his mutates as well. Genosha...I get the idea but I think that can be a news story separate but a backdrop in these movies not the focus,it happens but other things keep the xmen from just going there to do nothing because you can't fix it save genosha ever so a general o agree spooky sinister story him messing with then at the mansion maybe, then a big fight in one of him many labs at the end plus 1 or 2 set ups for future villains either as cut aways or post credits. I have no casting choices so fat feige has done ok casting people ill trust the system for now

this is very cool but it’s just WAYYY too much too soon. i agree that we don’t have to do a full origin story, but we need SOME kind of jumping on point. not enough of the general public actually know enough about any of the x-men other than wolverine, magneto and professor x. the more time we have to grow with these characters, the better. the way you’ve laid it out here makes it prone to the same exact issues as the dceu.

[@paulaabelenda5867]

Disagree. The MCU needs to tell the origin story of the original five X-Men. We never got a decent live action adaptation of Cyclops or Jean Grey because the Fox movies only focused on Charles/Magneto/Wolverine, so to set itself apart and to properly adapt the X-Men, MCU movies shouldn’t just skip decades of development.

[@blacksuburban2410]

Bro, Zac Efron is 5’8”. You gotta stop this madness. This isn’t accurate AT ALL. We need a physically imposing Cyclops. Same with Storm. She’s feminine but intimidating.

In my opinion, the storyline NEEDS to focus on Scott and Jean. We need to be convinced of why they are the leaders of the X-Men. However, I disagree about starting off around the arc that was just started in X-Men '97. We don't need to reintroduce characters completely, but we also don't need to have too much depth and confusion in the storyline starting out. There should be a solid foundation for who each character is before introducing elements like love triangles involving impregnated clones.

You seriously caught me off guard in the beginning with Zac, but now I can't picture anyone else as Scott. I especially love Ross Marquand as Charles. The one thing I absolutely hated about the past X-Men movies is that CHARLES IS NOT BRITISH! He has a highly educated upper class accent, but it's still as American as it gets. Of course I mean absolutely not offence to Patrick Stewart or James McAvoy. Both outstanding actors. I'm actually surprised Fox didn't make Beast British too. Outstanding picks man.

[@Lantern_Matt_2814]

I absolutely love the X-Men from Marvel so much so, that I have a detailed fan theory as to how the X-Men could join the Marvel Cinematic Universe: keep First Class, Days of Future Past, Apocalypse, Dark Phoenix, Deadpool 1 & 2, New Mutants in the Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline as there is a massive gap between 1963-1995 with the Dark Phoenix cast appearing in Deadpool 1&2, these films can happen after the events of Dark Phoenix and since Essex Corps is referenced in New Mutants, this could happen in the Dark Phoenix timeline after these events, Professor X uses Cerebro to convince the world that mutants don't exist and erase any new mutant activities from people's minds whenever one is witnessed. however the only person who knows is Nick Fury, who agrees with Professor X to keep tabs on any new mutant activity. this is also referenced in a deleted scene from Iron Man 1, when Nick mentions X-Men the X-Men can work in secret between 1992 up until Endgame. when Tony Stark snaps his fingers, the mind stone reverses the effects of Professor X's actions. resulting in the public now remembering who the X-Men are as for Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, Hydra's meddling with the mind stone prematurely reversed Professor X's actions, as it was mentioned that the mind stone unlocks dormant abilities already present in the brain my theory brings the Dark Phoenix X-Men cast into the MCU, thus eliminating the need to recast the entire X-Men team. the actors are young, they've expressed interest in returning and continuing their roles. it's an option for Marvel Studios to do that I've explained my theory to a lot of people, most of whom say it works. others say it won't work and demand i should forget everything about the Fox X-Men films and be happy with what Disney/Marvel Studios are going to do with the X-Men I will probably receive a lot of negative feedback about my theory, nothing is set in stone, if Marvel Studios can bring back JK Simmons as J Jonah Jameson/the Sony Spider-cast, why won't they bring back the Dark Phoenix cast? there are multiple websites that support my theory, along with the Iron Man 1 deleted post credit scene. not only that, something similar happened in the comics (Robert Reynolds/Sentry and Gabriel Summers/Vulcan) since Days of Future Past rewrote the timeline, X-trilogy/Wolverine trilogy no longer take place as the ending to Dark Phoenix doesn't connect to the original trilogy, leaving it open for possible future sequels. as I mentioned, the Dark Phoenix cast could return and continue James McAvoy - Professor X Michael Fassbender - Magneto Tye Sheridan - Cyclops Nicholas Hoult - Beast Alexandra Shipp - Storm Kodi Smitt-Mcphee - Nightcrawler Sophie Turner - Jean Grey Channing Tatum - Gambit Josh Brolin - Cable Brianna Hildebrand - NTW Stefan Kapicic - Colossus Olivia Munn - Psylocke Peter Dinklage - Bolivar Trask Oscar Isaac - Apocalypse Rose Byrne - Moira McTaggart Anya Taylor-Joy - Magik as I've mentioned, in my X-Men MCU timeline, Mystique dies and Quicksilver dies after Avengers 2. the other X-Men characters I don't mind recasting, as long as they keep the cast I mention above aswell as try to follow my fan theory

And we can't just re-do X-Men 97 in live action, nor is it fair to leave so much info on backstory exposition. Exposition KILLS movies, and you can't expect every single viewer to be a massive diehard nerd with the preconceived knowledge necessary to "get it." Unfair to general audiences.

[@WaniZame]

X-men 97 worked because it was a sequel series. I don’t think a lot of these ideas work when going in with a completely fresh take on the x-men. The castings were a mixed bag. I think re-casting previous guys like Channing and Grammar doesn’t work because they are too old for the roles. However I did like the Jean Grey, Rogue and even the cyclops picks. I think aging characters up is less of an issue so I really like Luke Evans as Magento. Physically he’s a unit, he’s only in his mid-40s but that’s easy to explain via the xmen evolution or Masque route. Taron Egerton has to be the next Logan. Anyone who saw Blackbird knows he has charisma oozing out of his arse. Could play Logan for two more decades and is not that tall at about 5’8 which isn’t comically short enough to look silly but keeps in line with Logan being a short king (I am only 5’9 so this a self-burn).

No worries! That’s what I’m here for. (Don’t check the marvel KZbin channel, they have released all of the spoilers already)

[@benjaminwhite3585]

Dude, it's Genosha, not Geonosha!!!! Pronounced Gen Osha.

[@CantinaTalkSW]

Dude I’ve already addressed this in another comment

[@HavendaleBlvd80]

I think a smaller statured wolverine would a good thing as well.

[@Korbanbaby]

No Gambit is too old. Need younger actor.

[@jesusvideogamemaster]

Why?

[@CantinaTalkSW]

understandable

[@CantinaTalkSW]

@@jesusvideogamemaster idk

[@WhitePhoenixJean]

If you want a more in-depth and can do action Jean Grey, you have Saoirse Ronan

[@hungryalmighty7156]

Although I like the idea of Zac efron playing cyclops, shouldn’t u get a different actor to play him cause u got Henry as wolverine. Idk I feel like if ur gonna get someone like Henry to play wolverine than u need someone around Henry height and build for cyclops. I was personally thinking that if James marsden doesn’t appear in secret wars than marvel should give him another chance. And trust me it’s not gonna confuse anyone as long as the rest of the x-men are all played by different actors. Overal I agree with all ur choices except id do Jensen acles as cyclops But if we went with younger actors than Glen Powell cyclops Taron eggerton wolverine

[@camilovarela478]

I think that Dacre Montgomery as cyclops could also work wonders

[@jonathanhaynes7904]

I see him as Human Torch but it’s too late

[@CantinaTalkSW]

Personally, Johnny Storm but I could see it too. Hes just a little young imo. Maybe more like iceman

[@CantinaTalkSW]

@@jonathanhaynes7904yep

[@colbyrackler3915]

Is it ever actually going to happen? I feel like, Live Action MCU X-Men is never going to happen, or it will happen, but 20 years from now.

[@seanyoung7713]

Nope 😂 will start a lot earlier in the X-man timeline, need to look more at the eighties, maybe early nineties

[@startainfection9736]

“The main team needs to be in their 30s” way to miss the biggest draw of the xmen?

[@WesleyWyndam-Pryce]

Uhh, what's the biggest draw again?

[@Tracydavies-me9sf]

​@@WesleyWyndam-Prycethey live in a school

[@ronin6033]

I still wanna see shia laboufs iceman and taylor swifts dazzler

[@bobbycoltrane7552]

So no Colossus or Nightcrawler nah

[@CantinaTalkSW]

@@bobbycoltrane7552 did you watch the full video? I literally mentioned nightcrawler 😂

[@omgmacy]

Xmen 97 had me sobbing when genosha fell andid love tosee that properly adapted and have a magneto you canget behind

[@Sam-magicedits]

Mathias is a German am i too good Pick for him

[@CantinaTalkSW]

Agreed

[@RealtorJonathanCruz]

This cast it’s great but they took a long time to film and release these movies I think a younger cast it’s a smarter choice

[@Antiprincipl3]

Agree with every other thing except Janelle, you likely won't recognize Storm anymore, replace her with Yetide Badaki or Deborah Ayorinde.

[@CantinaTalkSW]

Thank you! Thats why I didnt have her as my main pick and I had DeWanda Wise. I really like Yetide Badaki!

[@camman48296]

Daniel rad has to be wolverine

[@74MaverickMan]

Harry Potter is the best accurate wolverine.

[@m00k61]

I would make Sidney Sweeny as Jean.

[@CantinaTalkSW]

Saw people talking about that on X the other day too. Personally, Black Cat is better for her

[@tonyserrano275]

Morph is from only the tv shows not the comics please don’t do any of these stories

[@Sasq23]

I'm on board except the Henry Cavil as Wolverine. I'm a Cavil fan-boy, but I want a comic book accurate Wolverine. Short, hairy, pissed off and violent. Honestly, the portrayal of him in Hulk vs Wolverine is probably the closest I've seen to him the way I would direct the character.

[@CantinaTalkSW]

My backup pick is Taron Edgerton who I really love for Wolverine as well

[@Sceriouz187]

If they can pull it off and still pass as the character then I think they should play the character.. only change when playing the role is not substantial or believable as the character

[@CantinaTalkSW]

understandable

[@dylanuwu8270]

Wow. That Zac pick is honestly one of the better picks ive heard. My personal best Scott pick is Chris Pine. For some reason everything about him makes me think he could play scott. Especially his performance from wonder woman. Really good

[@CantinaTalkSW]

Thank you, I was just messing around one day and tried that and I couldn't unsee it. I'd love Chris Pine as Hal Jordan. Personally, he feels too old for my version of Scott, but if it was an older cast I'd love it! I loved him in Wonder Woman

[@MisterBadman]

Pushin back the 100k goal?

[@jesusvideogamemaster]

No MCU hero is one to one with their comic book counterpart so I always laugh when people say an actor isn’t accurate enough to portray a character like as if marvel time and time again hasn’t established that there are many variants of different characters

[@nattycasper2022]

1st choice Storm is an amazing pick. Yes.

[@ringleader5150]

Great pics, except prof X. Don’t care for Ross. Very over rated imo

[@CantinaTalkSW]

Understandable!

[@markdaza8425]

Professor X- Ewan McGregor Magneto- Daniel Craig Cyclops- Patrick Schwarzenegger Havok- Harris Dickinson Jean Grey- Jodie Comer Storm- Jodie Turner-Smith Beast- Josh O’Connor Angel- Paul Mescal Iceman- Tanner Buchanan Nightcrawler- Owen Teague Gambit- Dacre Montgomery Rogue- Peyton List Kitty Pryde- Cailee Spaeny

[@P4trickSt4rmie]

Channing is too bulky for me
