Fan Cast: Team X

Fan Cast: Team X

The original team: Wolverine, Sabertooth, Maverick, Kestrel, Silver Fox and Mastodon. This is my first fan casting, I hope you enjoy it.

To keep it short and sweet, here are my casting choices for Team X. I doubt there will ever be a live action movie that portrays this team truthful to the comics, which is a shame considering how essential these characters and their back stories are to the Marvel Universe.

Logan / WOLVERINE

Ok, I understand that I am possibly only one of six people that didn't like Hugh Jackman as Logan. I truly believe that he is a fan of the character and portrayed the role the best he could. I just don't look at Jackman's Wolverine and see "feral" and "berserker", he's too polished. I want to see an angry, powerhouse loner. Even when he's happy, he doesn't look it. My personal pick would be

DOUGRAY SCOTT

Wolverine


Victor Creed / SABERTOOTH

In my opinion, Liev is a phenomenal Sabertooth. Arrogant, unstable and vicious. My only qualm has to be seeing him with a buzz cut. If Logan can fight in all those wars with muttonchops, Victor could have a longer haircut.

LIEV SCHRIEBER

Sabertooth


David North / MAVERICK

David North (or Christoph Nord) is one of my favorite character in the Marvel Universe. He has such a deep, dark history you cannot play him off as just another mercenary. I would like to see this character embodied by

TIL SCHWEIGER

Maverick


John Wraith / KESTREL

Wraith might not see alot of action, but anyone who's ever been in a hostile situation knows how important your extract man is. Suffering from paranoia, he didn't like using his teleportation abilities when anyone was watching. Also, he was hinted to be Nightcrawer's father, and I personally would liked to have seen that story arc play out. I think we would see a good performance from

MEKHI PHIFER

Kestrel


SILVER FOX

Logan's lover, teammate and future enemy. A native Canadian Blackfoot, she is beautiful and deadly. You need a strong actress to portray a HYDRA cell leader. My choice?

TINSEL KOREY

Silver Fox


MASTODON

Though barely mentioned, Mastodon was a member of Team X who died when his age suppressant failed. He is only described as a well-built man who is proficient in firearms. . . I don't know about you, but that leaves ALOT of room for a good screenwriter and actor to substantiate the character. My pick for this role would be

TAHMOH PENIKETT

Mastodon


Wade Wilson / DEADPOOL (Not an actual member of the team, but it's hard to mention Weapon X without throwing him in somewhere)

Ah, Wade. . . Wade, Wade, Wade. Don't disappoint us Ryan, we have high hopes for you.

RYAN REYNOLDS

Deadpool



. . . and finally, every story needs an antagonist:

OMEGA RED

He is known as the ultimate weapon. I don't want to see a messy blur of CGI. Find a tall, muscled actor with a good sneer that doesn't mind a few hours in the make up chair. My choice is Russian actor, author and former bodybuilder

ALEXANDER NEVSKY

Omega Red


I'm sure some of you won't like my casting. I hope at least you found it entertaining!

Very good!

Great job. I like them all! A few weeks ago I did a fan cast that included Omega Red, and I chose Sean Bean, but your choice is also great, he's a hard character to cast.

ecksmanfan - 9/16/2009, 1:21 PM
I see your point. He is 6'7"? He doesn't look it at all in that picture. Sounds like a good pick to me! I'd love to see Omega Red on the big screen. I hope they can work him into the next Wolverine movie over in Asia. Maybe bring him in at the end to hint at another movie or something.

I think your cast is very good, and I like where going with regard to a possible plot/story. Omega Red would make a great villain for the movie, and yes, I agree, Liev was awesome IMO as Sabertooth.

I agree w/ Ryden.

And I love the idea of Meki Phifer as Wraith. that guy is a phenomenal actor. I loved him in the newer version of Brian's Song

Meki Phifer is awesome! Good choice! But Dougray Scott is yet another giant playing a 5'3" Wolverine! I'm sick & tired of giants playing Logan! It's not right at all!

But I think Dougray would be fresh and more feral anyway and, yes, he was supposed to get the part but had schedule conflicts.

Omega Red is another good idea!

All in all, very good casting!

Here's an actor who is short and a very good actor, Christian Kane. He was on "Angel" and now is on "Leverage" on TNT. He's bulked up and is almost doing Logan on Leverage and I think he would be perfect as Wolverine.

Looks good to me @Multipurpose! Dougray was supposed to get it and his 6' is shorter than Hugh's 6'2". Oh, well things are what they are!

Come on guys, dont bite the hands that feed you. Jackman was a great Wolverine. Maybe a little too tall, but still.

Just putting this out there: Michael C. Hall for Wolverine! I mean I haven't seen him act outside of Dexter, like in Gamer because it hasn't come out in Australia yet, but he sort of has that feral look and with longer, darker hair I think he could pull it off.

Skerringer - 9/22/2009, 9:05 PM
If not, then Christian Kane looks like a good choice.
@MultiPurposePoni: agreed.
