Extraordinary X-Men Film Universe

Extraordinary X-Men Film Universe

A fancast for the future of the X-Men universe residing over at Fox Studios. Containing elements from multiple comic book runs, I cast my ultimate X-Men fantasy film franchise.

Tom Hardy as James Howlett/Wolverine
A long-lived mutant with the rage of a beast and the soul of a Samurai, James "Logan" Howlett's past is filled with blood, war, and betrayal. Possessing an accelerated healing factor, enhanced senses, and bone claws in his hands that, along with his skeleton, are coated in adamantium, Wolverine is the ultimate weapon.

Reasons: Getting the obvious picks out of the way first, Hardy has shown much affinity for the comic book movie genre and was even rumored to have been tapped to play Apocalypse in the upcoming titular X-Men film. Fans everywhere would love to see the rugged Tom don the claws and spandex. Similar to Michael Fassbender I could picture Hardy playing the character for a long time while also continuing his Oscar buzz film career.


Jon Hamm as Nathan Summers/Cable
Cyclops' time-traveling son infected with the deadly techno-organic virus at a young age which he kept at bay using his advanced psionic powers. Before he became Cable, Nathan Summers was the infant son of Cyclops who was sent into the future for protection. As a child, Cable possessed a mild form of psionic abilities. Later, Cable appeared as a man with mysterious roots. He first led everyone to believe that he was simply a man with cyborg parts. This characterization slowly changed into that of a mutant with robot parts. His character finally evolved into the child that Cyclops had sent into the future, revealing him as a mutant with techno-organic parts.

Reasons: I do believe it was Liefeld that said he would love to see Hamm play the character and to be honest I agree wholeheartedly. I initially chose Hamm as my Cable before the statements were released but those made me even more confident that it could happen. 


Emmy Rossum as Neena Thurman/Domino
Domino is a skilled, mutant, mercenary, who possesses, the ability to manipulate probability in her favor, giving the effect of incredible luck. After joining with the X-Men, she is currently a member of Cable's new X-Force team.

Reasons: Rossum is one of the most talented and under appreciated actresses working today with roles in things like Shameless and Mystic River. Rossum could play the badass leading lady of the X-Force and make a possibly convincing romance and/or bond with Jon Hamm's Cable. Rossum is about due for a solid comic book role and Domino could be just the one for her.


Hunter Parrish as Samuel Guthrie/Cannonball
Cannonball is a mutant with the ability to propel himself through the air like a human rocket. Over the years, Sam has grown from a New Mutant, to the leader of the original X-Force, to a full-fledged X-Man. He currently teaches at the Jean Grey School and is an Avenger.

Reasons: Parrish has shown his talent in films like Still Alice and Freedom Writers and the television program Weeds. Parrish is a young and upcoming talent pretty much bound to be tapped by a major studio one of these days and with his talent and resemblance to the character it's safe to say he'd make an amazing Cannonball.


Imogen Poots as Lorna Dane/Polaris
The mutant mistress of magnetism, Polaris is also the daughter of Magneto. After a long sojourn in space she rejoined the ranks of X-Factor, fought alongside the X-Men against the Avengers, and now leads Serval Industries' All New X-Factor.

Reasons: Poots is a gifted actress appearing in films like Green Room, Me & Orson Welles and Jane Eyre. I would like Polaris to make an appearance in the X-Men franchise and I get the feeling she'll be alluded to in the upcoming Apocalypse film. If so or if not I'd love Imogen to portray the character and have a relationship with Magneto or Quicksilver, possibly being a threat to the entire X-Men team.


Nick Robinson as Jamie Madrox/Multiple Man
Jamie Madrox, also known as Multiple Man, is a mutant with the ability to create duplicates of himself through physical contact. These "dupes" can later be reabsorbed, along with all of their memories and experiences. Madrox runs X-Factor Investigations, a mutant detective agency.

Reasons: As I stated before in a different fancast I would love to see Robinson portray the more X-Men Evolution esque version of Madrox and eventually grow into the more mature version we all know. Robinson definitely has the talent, appearing in Jurassic World and headlining the smaller film The Kings of Summer. Robinson has a likeable personality and can carry this character to great lengths.


Kiernan Shipka as Hope Summers
The first mutant born after M-Day, Hope Summers is believed to either be the mutant messiah or the harbinger of death for humanity. She is an Omega-level power mimic, and possesses a connection to the Phoenix Force.

Reasons: Shipka is arguably the most talented young actress working today and it shows in her work like When Marnie Was There and even playing Jon Hamm's daughter on the popular television show Mad Men. Rachel is protected by Cable in the future so the father-daughter dynamic between Shipka and Hamm is a no-brainer and she's shown to be more than capable of doing her own dramatic work.


Britt Robertson as Kitty Pryde/Shadowcat
Kitty Pryde, also known as Shadowcat, is a mutant gifted with the ability to become intangible and phase her body through solid material. A talented prodigy, she became the "poster child" of the X-Men. Since "Battle of the Atom", Kitty has left Wolverine to join Cyclops and now mentors the time-displaced original X-Men.

Reasons: Robertson made headlines after leading the highly anticipated Disney wonder Tommorowland alongside George Clooney. Although the film didn't fare as well critically or financially as they hoped, the world was still talking about Robertson and her amazing performance, heralded as the next big thing. It almost seems unfair to relegate her to a co-lead character like Kitty Pryde but hopefully we could see alot more of the character in the future.


Billy Unger as Bobby Drake/Iceman
The youngest member of the original X-Men. Bobby is an Omega-level mutant, although it took some help from Emma Frost to realize this. Bobby's control of ice is vast; he can create shields, clones, spikes, slides and also freeze others. He currently teaches at the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning.

Reasons: Unger made some waves as many suspected him of being Marvel's ace in the hole and all but confirmed him as being their next Peter Parker. Although that didn't turn out to be true Unger is still an immense talent worthy of a comic book role and I think Iceman, with his age and looks, would be the perfect role for him.


Katheryn Winnick as Emma Frost/The White Queen
The former White Queen of the Hellfire Club, Emma Frost is a powerful mutant telepath who can transform herself into organic diamond. She has become an eminent member among the X-Men. A gifted teacher, Emma is renowned for her beauty, wit, and revealing attire.

Reasons: I've already given my headcanon on how Emma Frost could come back into the X-Men universe despite being confirmed as dead but that's not what I'm here to talk about right now. Katheryn Winnick has been impressing on the show Vikings and in the film Cloud 9. With this she's gathered alot of attention to be Marvel's Carol Danvers in the upcoming film. I think Winnick would be better suited giving life to a role that January Jones made dead and uninteresting. 


Missy Peregrym as Anna Marie/Rogue
Once a member of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, Rogue has since become a veteran member of the X-Men. After many years, she has finally gained conscious control of her power to absorb the thoughts, abilities and memories of others through physical contact. She is currently a member of both the Avengers Unity Squad and the X-Men team, based out of Jean Grey's School for Higher Learning.

Reasons: Peregrym is an impressive actress appearing on Heroes and Backcountry. She's also close in age to Channing Tatum, leaving the option for Fox to explore the Gambit-Rogue relationship if they so choose to do. Rogue is a character I want to see done right and while flying may not look so great on-screen I at the very least want her to have super strength. I feel Missy could play the role very well and even give some fan service to the audience.


Malese Jow as Xi'an Coy Manh/Karma
Karma is a mutant with the ability to mentally possess other beings. A founding member of the New Mutants, she is one of the few confirmed and openly lesbian characters. She lost a leg and now has a cybernetic one in its place.

Reasons: I'm not sure how actor contracts work in Hollywood but I'm pretty sure being on The Flash TV show doesn't stop Jow from appearing in other things comic book related. I would love if Jow was tapped to play Karma, an underrated mutant in my opinion.


Matthew Beard as Jonothon Starsmore/Chamber
Chamber is a mutant with psionic energy emitting from his chest. He lost his powers on M-Day, was kidnapped by a cult of Apocalypse and transformed into Decibel. Now he's a teacher at Jean Grey School for Higher Learning after regaining his original powers following the events of Age of X.

Reasons: Beard is a well-established actor with a lot of gold chips on his resume including a role in The Imitation Game and was voted most promising newcomer in And When Did You Last See Your Father?. Chamber is mutant I've wanted to see on the big screen for a while and Beard is a safe choice to do so.


Gary Oldman as Nathaniel Essex/Mr. Sinister
19th Century scientist Nathaniel Essex was genetically mutated by Apocalypse, who shared his philosophy of Social Darwinism. Becoming the immortal Mr. Sinister, he is perhaps the greatest geneticist in the world; capable of cloning, creating, enhancing, and controlling mutant abilities.

Reasons: Other than the fact he's Gary freaking Oldman? He's still a very active actor taking roles in the second installment in the newest Planet of the Apes franchise,  he's idolized for his versatility on the big screen and has a couple projects already in the works. Oldman could play Mr. Sinister in his sleep.


Anya Taylor Joy as Laura Kinney/X-23
A product of the Weapon X program cloned from a damaged sample of Wolverine's DNA. Since she could walk, she was trained to kill Wolverine, but instead she joined the X-Men, becoming his daughter figure and, eventually, his successor.

Reasons: Rarely would I include an actor that's been in practically nothing on a list for such a major character but Anya is pretty much an indie goddess at this moment with her debut film The Witch gathering critical praise especially her performance. If the yells of her great performance are to be trusted I have no issue having her as X-23 especially if the right director steps on board.


Rachel Brosnahan as Lani Ubanu/Lorelei
Known initially as Lorelei, Lani Ubanu is a Savage Land native who was mutated in order to become a terrorist in Magneto's service. She later served the High Technician.A member of the Swamp People inhabiting the Antarctic jungle known as the Savage Land, Lorelei received the power to hypnotize men after Magneto subjected her to a DNA-altering machine. Her powers are irresistible to males but have no effect on females. Lorelei became a member of the Savage Land Mutants (also known as Beast Brood), battling foes from the X-Men to Ka-Zar. She later joined Magneto's Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.

Reasons: An OG member of the Brotherhood alongside Magneto, Lorelei is a character I would love to see on the big screen. Brosnahan has been really turning heads in House of Cards and James White. With studios reaching into every corner of acclaim they can find I'm sure Brosnahan can be sure to get a phone call soon. Hopefully she turns out better than the last House of Cards actress Fox tapped.


Rebecca Ferguson as Raven Darkholme/Mystique
True to her name, the shape shifting Mystique is an enigma. Is she a mutant terrorist determined to bring about the end of humanity, or a misguided mutant with a good heart?

Reasons: It's not a popular opinion and I know it isn't but I actually quite like Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique. That being said there's been some doubt on if she's returning for more X-Men films or not and this is basically a "just in case" casting. Ferguson is a great actress and could definitely play the shape shifting mutant and complicated figure in the X-Men history with stints in Mission Impossible Rogue Nation alongside Tom Cruise.


Ryan Hurst as Victor Creed/Sabretooth
Victor Creed is the feral mutant called Sabretooth. He was a member/subject of the Weapon X Project and is the arch-enemy of Wolverine. Unlike Wolverine, Sabretooth embraces his primal instincts, leaving death in his wake.

Reasons: Again this is somewhat of a "just in case" casting as I think no one is really sure if Liev is set or intending to come back. I loved Schreiber as the character and would love to see him return but with all he has going on it's certainly very possible that he won't. That being said Hurst of Sons of Anarchy fame could bring back the more primal version of the character seen in the first X-Men film but with better acting because watching that movie again Mane was pretty cringe worthy.


Elizabeth Gillies as Illyana Rasputina/Magik
The younger sister of Colossus. Illyana Rasputina is a mutant teleporter, a sorceress, and the former Sorceress Supreme and Queen of Limbo, who is currently a member of Cyclops' team of rebel mutants and a teacher at the New Charles Xavier School for Mutants.

Reasons: With a new Colossus and seemingly a more vital member of the team I feel Magik could be a part of the new X-Men universe and Gillies, one of the more talented young actresses working today could portray her very well. 


Amber Midthunder as Dani Moonstar
A Native American and member of the original New Mutants, Dani Moonstar was one of many mutants to lose their powers on M-Day. Moonstar currently uses her skills, experience and combat prowess to fight against evil as Hel's Valkyrie and one of the Fearless Defenders.

Reasons: Midthunder has impressed in films such as Spare Parts and Swing Vote, making her a fan favorite to play the badass female mutant that hasn't been seen on screen yet.


Yara Shahidi as Eva Bell/Tempus
Eva Bell is a new mutant that appeared in Gold Coast, Australia. She has the power to stop time, and was rescued by Cyclops, Emma Frost, and Magneto after her mutation emerged unexpectedly.

Reasons: Shahidi has impressed fans and critics alike with her performance in the popular show Black-ish and even her stint in in the popular (albeit terrible) film Alex Cross. Shahidi is an actress that needs that next big push into stardom and playing a vital part of what the X-Men stand for in Tempus could do just that for her.


Mae Whitman as Alison Crestmere/Magma
Magma can transform into molten rock & has control over the Earth. She was one of the New Mutants, but left to join the Hellions. She has since been a teacher at the Xavier Institute and rejoined her teammates from the New Mutants.

Reasons: I'm trying to come up with a reason for why Mae Whitman is necessary in every fancast ever. But in all seriousness Mae is a great actress with a bright future ahead of her. The DUFF was definitely a step in the wrong direction but she can easily redeem herself as she's shown in films like Perks of Being a Wallflower and fan favorite comic book film Scott Pilgrim vs. The World


Perla Haney-Jardine as Alison Blaire/Dazzler
A mutant with the ability to transduce sound into light, which often forces her into reluctant superheroism. She is also a very gifted singer and performer, hence her reservations in donning her uniform.

Reasons: Jardine is mostly remembered as the daughter of Uma Thurman in Kill Bill but what a lot of people may not know is that she just turned in a really good performance in Steve Jobs opposite Michael Fassbender himself. As far as Dazzler's powers they could find a way to make them cool or they could just do what they did with Negasonic Teenage Warhead and change them completely but keeping the name and look for the most part. Either way I'd be cool.


Antoine Oliver Pilon as Mortimer Toynbee/Toad
Born in York, England, Mortimer Toynbee has always been less than handsome. His parents abandoned him almost immediately. He lived for a few years in an orphanage, where cruel boys teased and tormented him on account of his ugliness and misshapen body. Despite being rather intelligent, his appearance, extreme shyness and slight learning disability led most to believe him to be slow. Mortimer dropped out of the orphanage prematurely, opting to live on the streets and fend for himself rather than face the abuse from the other boys. The constant fear and hatred exhibited by everyone he knew caused him to develop a severe inferiority complex. 

Reasons: Pilon already played someone who was quite hateful of people in Mommy and I feel like his acting chops don't stop there. He'd easily be able to play the once leader of the Brotherhood and right hand man of Magneto. 


Nathan Jones as Cain Marko/Juggernaut
Cain Marko, also known as the Juggernaut, is the step-brother of X-Men founder Charles Xavier and the avatar of Cyttorak. Powered by the Crimson Gem of Cyttorak, Marko is bestowed virtually limitless brute strength and durability which he mostly uses for criminal pursuits and wanton destruction. The Juggernaut is considered one of the strongest and most powerful beings on Earth.

Reasons: Because duh. Nathan is a mountain of a human being and has done what few strongmen in the Hollywood do and that's become a legit respectable actor. He'll still be cast for his size without a doubt but his performance in Mad Max Fury Road showcased he was more than muscles.


Fatima Ptaceck as Megan Gwynn/Pixie
Pixie is a fairy-winged mutant who can cause those exposed to her dust to experience hallucinations. Magik forged a fragment of her soul into a dagger which can disrupt magic and mystical beings. Pixie is a teleporter by means of a teleportation spell. She is a member of the X-men.

Reasons: I included her on my last fancast for the X-Men and I still include her because Fatima is a growing actress that could certainly bring a sense of joy to the sometimes dark world of the X-Men. She's appeared in award winning short films and even if she's not all she's cracked up to be we've seen that in the hands of the right director anything is possible.


Rockmond Dunbar as Shadow King
The Shadow King is a powerful psionic entity that can possess and control human bodies. Originally thought to be a mutant, while possessing Amahl Farouk Shadow King was the first evil mutant [sic] fought by Charles Xavier. Their battle was a major factor in Xavier later forming the X-Men.

Reasons: An underrated actor, Dunbar has had roles in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Prison Break, Sons of Anarchy and The Mentalist. Dunbar could without a doubt play a convincing villain and the first host of the psionic energy essence that makes its host become the Shadow King.


Travis Fimmel as Jason Wyngarde/Mastermind
Founding member of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, Jason Wyngarde was the original Mastermind. He was instrumental in the creation of Dark Phoenix, ruining Wolverine's relationship with Mariko Yashida and later died of the Legacy Virus. His two daughters have inherited his telepathic illusionary powers and name.

Reasons: Fimmel is a well-known actor appearing in Warcraft and the television show Vikings which has garnered critical acclaim alongside Katheryn Winnick. Fimmel is set to be a big movie star in the future and him being Mastermind would be a step in the right direction.


Halston Sage as Regan Wyngarde/Lady Mastermind
Regan is the daughter of the original Mastermind. Originally an agent for the Hellfire Club, she joined the X-Men after being captured by Pandemic. Shortly after, she betrayed the X-Men and joined the Marauders and eventually the Sisterhood of Mutants.

Reasons: Sage has shown decent to good work in the films she's appeared in including Goosebumps, Scout's Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse and Paper Towns. Her work in the aforementioned films has led me to believe she could be a viable asset to the X-Men universe and play well opposite the rest of the cast such as Sansa  Sophie Turner and Tye Sheridan. 


Tom Hughes as 
St. John Allerdyce/Pyro
Pyro is a mutant with the psionic ability to manipulate flame. He was a member of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants & Freedom Force. He died from the effects of the Legacy Virus, but has been resurrected by Eli Bard to work for Selene.

Reasons: Hughes is yet another up and coming talent that should be noticed sooner rather than later. He impressed alongside the likes of Ben Whishaw and Patrick Stewart in Richard II and even starred in the UK television serial The Game alongside William Stryker actor Brian Cox. Hughes could bring the fresh new take on the mutant Pyro to life considering we haven't even seen the character in live-action since 2006 and that was on a sour note. 


Holland Roden as Tabitha Smith/Boom Boom

Tabitha Smith was raised in Roanoke, Virginia. Her parents divorced while she was still young and her father remarried. Her relationship with her parents was tumultuous at best, and further declined after her mutant powers manifested.A former member of the New Mutants and X-Force, Boom-Boom is a mutant with the ability to create energy bombs of various sizes and intensity which explode upon impact.

Reasons: Roden has been a fan favorite among geeks for a long time with being considered for the likes of Jean Grey, Mary Jane Watson and really any other comic book character with red hair I chose to go a different route and have her bring her talents to a character we've yet to see in the film universe that I personally have been wanting for a very long time and that's Boom Boom. The chances of the character appearing grow more likely with Deadpool being said to be the key to an X-Force film and this new universe bringing in all sorts of goods. Roden has impressed in films like House of Dust and more on the show Teen Wolf.


Jack Kilmer as Dominikos Ioannis Petrakis/Avalanche
Avalanche is one of the more common villains of the X-Men, yet even with his popularity his past still remains a great mystery. All that is really known about his time before becoming a member of the Brotherhood of Mutants is that he immigrated to America from Crete, the largest and most populous island in Greece. He is also married to Helen Petros, but aside from this he has no other known relatives, however this does make him one of the few super villains who is actually married.

Reasons: While I would like to keep elements of his back story (or lack thereof) intact I would love to also integrate the comic version of Avalanche with the X-Men Evolution version of the character. Having him around the same age as the younger X-Men can play a big factor in how his arc starts and finishes and also having him as the cocky jealous punk from the Evolution series would work well while also abandoning the more non-discreet helmet thing he wears and just have him be a badass that can create earthquakes at will with a bad temper. Kilmer has impressed in films such as Palo Alto and The Stanford Prison Experiment.


Amanda Westlake as Hisako Ichiki/Armor
Hisako Ichiki is a teenage mutant from Japan that studied at the Xavier Institute before becoming an X-Man. Her mutant power allows her to create psionic "armor", giving her enhanced strength and durability. She is currently enrolled at the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning. 

Reasons: My vision for the X-Men universe moving forward is to embrace time-travel and alternate dimensions more so I hope we could see Armor soon, possibly being an elite member of the X-Men in the future and attempts to help the main timeline stay intact by aiding her professor Jean in the fight against Magneto and the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Westlake has several short film credits including Next Door and Newfound Confidence


Juno Temple as Angelica Jones/Firestar
Trained to be an assassin with her microwave manipulating mutant powers, Firestar grew to be a popular hero. She spent years as a New Warrior and Avenger, retired during Marvel's Civil War, then joined the Young Allies. She is a current member of the X-Men, and teaches physics at the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning.

Reasons: Juno Temple is one of the best young actresses working with several blockbuster credits to her name including The Dark Knight RisesMaleficent, and Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. Temple has proven her acting chops time after time as a force to be reckoned with in Hollywood and that doesn't look like it's going to halt any time soon. Firestar is a tricky character in my opinion since I wasn't too sure who has the rights to her specifically considering she's crossed paths with Spidey on more than a couple occasions but also has significant history with the X-Men yet neither studio has attempted nor hinted at any intent to use her. For the time being I'll assume it's the same as the Quicksilver situation mostly because that's a win-win for me.


Kaya Scodelario as Sarah Rushman/Marrow
A mutant able to control her bone growth, providing her with armor, clubs, and knives. As a child, she was taken in by the Morlocks where she would form the terrorist group Gene Nation before joining the X-Men. Her allegiances have shifted frequently since then. She was de-powered after M-Day.

Reasons: Scodelario may very well be in my list of the most underrated actresses currently working. With roles in critical hits like Moon alongside Sam Rockwell and the critically acclaimed series Skins, Kaya has a bright future ahead of her and it's even better that she's no stranger to blockbusters like the Maze Runner film series, in which she has a big role, and the upcoming installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. I envision a very Medusa/Cleopatra esque vibe for the character in the films, able to transform into a brutal killing machine at any moment.


Bella Thorne as Celeste Cuckoo
Celeste is the youngest of the Stepford Cuckoos, a group of clones of Emma Frost created by the Weapon Plus program. She is currently enrolled at the New Charles Xavier School for Mutants. Celeste shares a telepathic hive-mind with her sisters to amplify there powers into an even greater mind. Individually she is a powerful and skilled telepath. Her telepathic powers allow her to do things like Mind Link, Mind Reading, Memory Reading, Mind Control, Hypnosis, Telepathic Illusion, Astral Projection, Psionic Inundation, Crowd Control, Sense Manipulation, Knowledge Projection, Knowledge Replication, Mental Inducement, Telepathic Communication and Telepathic Perception.

Reasons Bella is a talented upcoming actress that's being considered by many heavily for Mary Jane in the upcoming Spiderman solo film. I'm not THAT sold on her acting abilities so I'd prefer to have her as a side/supporting character that doesn't require much intensity or skill to play. I'm not saying she's incapable but if I was a casting director I'd want to play it safe with someone like Bella and surround her with better actors such as the other two Cuckoos.


Hailee Steinfeld as Mindee Cuckoo
Irma, also known as Mindee is one of the Stepford Cuckoos, clones of Emma Frost created by the Weapon Plus program. She is currently enrolled at the New Charles Xavier School for Mutants.Mindee, along with the rest of the Stepford Cuckoos, have left the Jean Grey Institute and are now on Cyclops' team of mutant revolutionaries at his own school. She recently cut and dyed her hair in order to stand out from her sisters.

Reasons: Hailee is without a doubt the most talented of the actresses I chose for the Stepford Cuckoos and could easily carry the entire dynamic of the clones on her back and possibly improve her own co-stars. That said I felt she was a great choice to play the emotional core of the Cuckoos and improve upon the character.


Nicola Peltz as Phoebe Cuckoo
Phoebe is one of the Stepford Cuckoos, a group of clones of Emma Frost created by the Weapon Plus program. She is currently enrolled at the New Charles Xavier School for Mutants.Phoebe is a powerful and bright mutant telepath able to merge her mind with her sisters into a psychic gestalt. She can also transmute her biology into a diamond-like indestructible form. Phoebe also possesses a piece of the Phoenix Force, but she (in addition to her sisters) has shunted off her access to the Phoenix.

Reasons: Peltz gets a bad wrap for being in two of the most hated films of recent memory, one being The Last Airbender and the other being Transformers 4. However, her stints in Bates Motel has shown she can be quite good when given the opportunity so I'm down for giving her chance as a member of the Stepford Cuckoos.


Avan Jogia as Julio Richter/Rictor
A mutant with the power to create seismic vibrations, Rictor was a member of the New Mutants and X-Force. He attempted suicide after he lost his powers on M-Day, but joined X-Factor Investigations. He has since been repowered by Scarlet Witch and is romantically involved with fellow teammate, Shatterstar.Rictor (Julio Esteban Richter) grew up the son of a Mexican arms dealer. As a young boy, Rictor witnessed his father's murder at the hands of a mysterious white-haired man. His murder would continue to plague him for many years after his father's death.When Rictor's ability to produce seismic waves manifested, he unwittingly destroyed several blocks in his local area.

Reasons: Jogia has shown his natural charismatic charm on shows like Victorious and I Am Michael. Jogia was even the lead in the short-lived series Twisted so I'm sure he could play the minor character of Rictor and with the roles he's recently been taking this role may even appeal to him should a studio decide to use the character at some point.

 

Well that was exhausting. Hope you enjoyed it everyone! I left some important mutants out.

Nice and Thumbed.

Love the Emmy Rossum casting, she's an amazing actress. I'm hoping she breaks into more movies soon, or bigger movies. I would love to see her in a CBM. Her role on Shameless won me over, she has a lot of range. I'm not sure if Domino is the best fit for her though, I feel like she would own the role of Scarlett Witch, or even Rogue. Scarlett Witch especially because of the Quicksilver/Scarlett Witch dynamic.

Cool Article man.

Great fancast, I really enjoyed it. Each selection was well justified and interesting, and I don't have any complaints, keep up the good work and looking forward to more fancasts.

wow I have to say I really like this fancast!

Elizabeth Gillies as Magik,

Missy Peregrym as Rogue, and more, love it

It's all really good, except for Magma. Magma, real name actually Amara Aquilla (the one you have is just an alias she went by) was born in Nova Roma, which is basically Brazil. Doesn't really fit Mae Whitman.

- Jon Hamm actually played soldiers in the past, namely We Were Soldiers. Dye his hair red, and he's good to go.
- Interesting choice for Domino. She's definitely a must for the Deadpool sequel.
- I can somewhat see why you'd have Shripka playing another daughter of Jon Hamm's character. It could be put to good use in another Deadpool movie for a Mad Men joke.
- If you want a new Kitty Pryde, how about someone younger?
- I never cared for JLaw as Mystique. She turned Mystique into an overall aggravating and conceited character.
- I'd hate to see Gillies wasted in a role like Magik. I read that she's of Irish and Scottish ancestry, so maybe Siryn could work?
- Very appropriate casting choice for Moonstar!
- Methinks Mae may be too old for Magma.
- My choices for Dazzler would be either Rita Ora or Pixie Lott. They're gorgeous, in shape, and good singers.
- If Rockmund can play a convincing African, then I'm down for him as Shadow King.
- Haven't seen Travis do anything that would convince me to cast him as Mastermind.
- I love Halston Sage, but I don't feel 100% that she's the right choice for Lady Mastermind. Maybe she'd be better off as Boom Boom.
- I'm impressed by Ms. Westlake's stats on IMDB. She might rock as Armor, but is she young enough to play a teen?
- Your choices for the Cuckoos I feel may be too big of names. They're strong enough actresses to get juicier roles. Bella Thorne had a good role in Blue Sky and showcased some serious dramatic chops, Hailee Steinfeld was nominated for a Golden Globe so nix her out of getting a small role, and Nicola Peltz is someone I have in mind for Arkham Origins-era Harleen Quinzel (it'll never happen, but I can dream, can't I?).
- Surprised you have a few of the stars from Victorious, but you're forgetting one important person...



Very amazing cast! Glad someone has the gall to keep the site afloat from being a "Marvel fans vs. DC fans" douche-out.
