FAN CAST: X-Men 4

FAN CAST: X-Men 4

Here are my choices for who should feature in X-Men 4 setting up a whole new trilogy of mutant movies!

As most of you probably know by now I'm not a big fan of the past three X-Men films. I'm also not a fan the series carrying on to a fourth movie especially after the franchise killing movie, "X-Men: The Last Stand!"

Still, I know that the majority opinion on CBM is that there shouldn't be a reboot, and instead the franchise should continue on with the Apocalyse storyline. If done well, this could be the epic beginning of a new franchise. So I have cast my choices for characters that should be featured in the next installment.
Now, I'm not saying that all of these characters should have a big part in the movie, but unlike the last three films, this new franchise could start to introduce new character and develop them! I won't be writing any long-winded explanations as to why I've chosen these actors. If you want to know, then you'll find me in the comments section! Thanks for reading!

Um, lol.

not bad some of them! QUICKSILVER makes me cringe lol!

I still like ALI LARTER as MS MARVEL better, but shes could be a WHITE QUEEN.

So this is a reboot right, sorta?? Love the CABLE pic dude, i like most of 'em, though OLIVA maybe is a lil too old for KITTY maybe??! But kudos, i like them!!

I wish they would hurry up an make the [frick]ing movie lol! ; D

LEEE777 - 10/25/2009, 2:17 PM
POLARIS amazing pick! Coz she was a sh!T LOIS but fits that role much better!! ; )

I duuno, but i think MARVEL has the rights to SCARLET WITCH?

Anyone know??!

Sanfordpunk - 10/25/2009, 2:18 PM
cool , but I don't like James Marsden as Cyclops
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 10/25/2009, 2:19 PM
JAMES MARSDEN is the perfect CYCLOPS, very under used though, but that was one of FOXES good things about X-MEN.
BlackCat1
BlackCat1 - 10/25/2009, 2:37 PM
yeah Ali Larter as Ms.Marvel and Tricia Helfer as Emma Frost:)

InTylerWeTrust - 10/25/2009, 2:42 PM
I like it, though I do have my fair share of preferences.

I'll start with the ones I really like:

Apocalypse, MCD is the only one for the job.
Gambit, hadn't thought of Franco before, he'd be terrific.
Havok
Cable

I'd get rid of Marsden, he wasn't very good as Cyke, I thought he was annoying.

I'll give you some of my personal picks:

Jared Padalecki as Cyclops
Tricia Helfer as White Queen
Steve Bacic as Beast
Garret Hedlund as Angel, dude, how could you use Jason Lewis? TRAITOR! J/K ;)
Emmy Rossum as Shadowcat
Ed Harris as Magneto
Christian Campbell/Michael Rosenbaum as Quicksilver
Anne Hathaway as Scarlet Witch
Keith David as Mr. Sinister

Let me know what you think Josh.

But anyways, fine casting, good choices.
BlackCat1
BlackCat1 - 10/25/2009, 2:43 PM
No Wolverine this time around lol

Michelle Trachtenberg for Kitty and Olivia Wilde for Scarlet Witch

Ian Somerhalder as Gambit

Get rid of Sabretooth and Bring back Storm and Iceman and Kelsey Grammer as Beast, Storm can be recast though I guess.

Love your pic for Angel

Gotta be honest, when I first read this, I hated it. But as I look over it more, it's not bad. Not a huge fan of the Angel pick, and I think Kelsey Grammer needs to stay. Every time I see Ali Larter, all I think is Emma Frost. I think she'd own that one. I know that just about everyone on here thinks Keith David should play Sinister, but I think Gary Oldman should play that one.

For the most part, I like it!
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 10/25/2009, 3:12 PM
ECKS @ KEITH DAVID cast as SINISTER, nah man, thats total miscasting that is lol!! Ive got my own (JASON ISAACS), but FASSBENDER pick is cool too!

GARY OLDMAN, Hmmmm.
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 10/25/2009, 3:16 PM
LEE: Yeah, I suppose its a bit of a reboot! Sort of like The Incredible Hulk though rather than a full one! Id like to see the back of Xavier and see Emma Frost running things until Cable brings back Cyclops or something! As long as Larter cn pull off a decent British accent, I think she'd make a decent White Queen!

I think Padalecki would make a good Quicksilver as his character in Supernatural had a similar relationship with his father as Pietro does with Magneto so I can see him doing a good job of playing a character with "daddy issues", lol!

I was basing my Kitty choice on how old the character is now because Id like to leave teenage characters out of this movie altogether after what they did with Iceman and Rogue! I actually have no idea about who Scarlet Witch belongs to but assuming its Fox Id like to see Magneto's kids in the next few movies! And yeah, I can see Bosworth working well as Polaris! What did you think of my picks for Gambit and Magneto - they're my two favourites so Id be interested to know what you think! :)

TYLER: Thanks! Franco is one of my favourite choices as not only would he be great in the role but he actually looks like an older version of the guy from Origins! I think that Singer was to blame for Marsden not being a good Cyclops - under the right director I think that we could finally see the Scott we all know from the comic books!

LMAO, I chose Lewis because he has the pretty boy look of Angel and for some reason I can imagine him as the businessman version of the character who in my vision of the movie now funds the X-Men with his millions! I like your choices and would be happy to see your picks for Magneto, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch and Emma Frost just as much as mine! I like your other choices as well though Im not 100% sure about Padalecki as Cyclops!

BlackCat1: Id definitely like Wolverine in this one and thats why I chose to put Sabretooth in the movie as well! X-Men 1 should have featured Sabretooth taunting Logan about his past but now we've delved into their past in Origins, X-4 is the best place to show this! I've never liked Storm (even in the comic books) so Id be happy for her to have a cameo but thats it and I never really liked Grammar as Beast even though to be fair, he did a good job in the awful X-3!

Dude sick picks,never thought Franco as Gambit though
InTylerWeTrust
InTylerWeTrust - 10/25/2009, 3:26 PM
Josh: Thanks, I agree that Singer had a hand in the misinterpretation of Cyke, but Marsden just didn't give me that feeling like he's the leader, and gave a weak and boring performance IMO.

Padalecki I think would be a great Cyclops man! Sam reminds me of Cyke all the time! He's always trying to do the right thing and wants to be a hero and save as many people as he can (for example, he liked that he didn't have to kill people when they were possessed by demons, since he could exorcise them himself), yet he does have a conflicted inner struggle at times, giving him depth and real emotional weight. Not only those things, but the dude is a giant, meaning he wouldn't look out of place as the leader of the X-Men, and is in amazing physical shape.

Lewis does have the look for Angel, though his sh*t eating, advertising grin is too distracting! ;)

But again, I do like your picks a whole lot. And Fassbender as Sinister is actually really growing on me, I reckon he's my second choice, after Keith David, but I don't think there's an actor out there who I would like better as Mr. S than David!

BTW, I just started watching Reaper (the TV show), and it's awesome! Fu*cking hilarious! And now I know for sure that Bret Harrison IS Spider-Man!
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 10/25/2009, 3:44 PM
InSpace: Thanks - Franco would make a brilliant Gambit IMO! It helps that he actually looks like an older version of the guy from Wolverine so the timeline could still work!

TYLER: Lol, as long as he keeps his grins to the minimum Lewis would do just fine! When you put it that way, I can kind of imagine Padalecki as Cyclops! He is a great idea and I guess I never thought about his character in comparison to Scott like that! Although Fassbender is my no.1 choice for Captain Britain I think he'd make a great villlain and he just looks right for the part of Sinister - especially if he used the British accent from Inglorious Basterds which would work perfectly!

Reaper is an amazing TV show - I just cannot believe it got cancelled after Season 2!!! Apparently the head of the CW never liked it and wanted to focus on crap like 90210 and Melrose Place...unbelievable right? And yeah, as soon as I saw Harrison in the show, I knew he was perfect for playing the Peter Parker that we all know and love from the comic books rather than the whiney cry baby that Maguire ha turned the character into!
InTylerWeTrust
InTylerWeTrust - 10/25/2009, 3:51 PM
Josh: All I've seen is the Reaper pilot and I KNOW that Harrison would be a BRILLIANT Peter! He's got charm, charisma, and like-ability coming out the wazzu! He's literally perfect for Spidey, in every way!

I don't know about Lewis, he seems like he can't help himself but to grin and look at the camera every 2 seconds ;) I don't think he would be able to manage a serious performance, one that has no advertising in it LOL :)

Fassbender does have a great look for Sinister, with a dark smile that could convince you to do anything.

Padalecki for Cyclops ;)

THEHAWK
THEHAWK - 10/25/2009, 4:41 PM
Not bad. I like em man, good job. My main complaints are:

Ali Larter is perfect for Ms. Marvel.I say Traci Lords for Emma




I'm not crazy about Leee's lover as Angel. I say keep Foster, because while he was bad as Warren, he would be phenomenal as Archangel!



Scout Taylor Compton for Kitty.




That's it. I'm good with the rest.

Oh and Hey man, check out my X-Men 4 story in Fan Fic it's still on the front, just down there a ways.

THEHAWK abides

InTylerWeTrust - 10/25/2009, 5:15 PM
Josh: I'm also curious as to who you would like to see as Jean, Rogue, and Ice-Man in the next one, should the film include them of course.

I'd go with:

Emily Blunt as Jean



Eliza Dushku as Rogue



Anton Yelchin as Ice-Man

ASSASSIN666
ASSASSIN666 - 10/25/2009, 6:01 PM
Hawk- Traci Lords? The underage I got raped everyday 14 year old porn star? She's the little c**t who almost took down the industry, I would burn her alive for that. She couldn't act in porn, she ain't acting in X-Men. That aside it's a solid cast, I would say put Lewis for Havok and keep Gambit form Origins. I think he would be fine as Gambit if he had a larger role in the film
AshleyWilliams
AshleyWilliams - 10/25/2009, 6:36 PM
Great Cast!
Crudup has to be Reed Richard's and Tricia Helfer has to be Emma!
THEHAWK
THEHAWK - 10/25/2009, 6:44 PM
@Tyler. I say:

Rachel McAddams as Jean


Chris Pine as Iceman


Vanessa Ferlito as Rouge


@ASSASSIN666. maybe i'm thinking of Tricia Helfer. i always get those names confused...
InTylerWeTrust
InTylerWeTrust - 10/25/2009, 6:58 PM
Hawk: I'm still not sold on McAdams as Jean. I don't think she has the right look, figure, or style for Jean. I don't know, I just don't see it as much as Blunt.

Chris Pine is Hawkeye dude!

Don't know who your Rogue pick is, so I can't comment.

Tricia Helfer for White Queen!

THEHAWK
THEHAWK - 10/25/2009, 7:11 PM
Hey I have been pulling for Pine as Hawkeye for months. But since FOX has the rights to Iceman. He could be both.

I think Rachel would be a great Jean. I still want Blunt for Black Widow, so I can't see her in anything else. But wait until you see Rachel in SHerlock Holmes before you count him out.

Geez i thought this was JOSH'S Article, not you twos lol!!

; D

JOSH @ Yeah i like your MAGNETO, not sure who he is but i do know him from somewhere, but deff looks the part and very original pick! As for GAMBIT, it'll get a bit of getting used too as he's GREEN GOBLIN but i think i can do it, he's a talented guy, if you aint seen PINAPPLE EXPRESS check it out, it's so [frick]ing funny and FRANCO's in it!!

Actually @ TYLER @ I like PINE a lot better as ICEMAN he fits that part more than HAWKEYE dude! Though i really like JOSHES ICEMAN too, but i cant remember who he picked, just that i liked it at the time?!!!

Did you know PINE is the next JACK RYAN!!!

Yeah its just JARED i have a prob with JOSH, i see only one superhero part for him man, thats a perfect part called NOVA!



Man, perfect i tell ya!! As for CYCLOPS TYLER??! Lmao!

; D

JOSH @ Only PIC i'll put up, i wont plaster your whole post with my castings like the others lol!

Joking guys lol.

By the way, i forgot to ask, whos the HAVOK dude, i don't know him? Kudos again buddy!
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 10/26/2009, 7:03 AM
TYLER: I really hated what was done with those 3 character in the first 3 movies but if I were to bring the characters back then I couldnt think of any better choices than yours! Excellent picks man! And she is an excellent choice for Emma - now I've seen that side by side pic you've done Im convinced that she'd be even better than my choice of Larter, lol!

THEHAWK: I like all of your picks apart from your Emma Frost choice - like with TYLER's picks, Id be just as happy to see any of the others in a future X-Men film just as much as my choices! I'll make sure I find the time to read your fan fic sometime today!

LEE: Yeah, I also though of Padalecki for Nova in my big Marvel fan cast from a little while back - this picture shows that he is 110 perfect for that part!

Nova

My Magneto choice is a pretty well known actor I think but you might recognise him from Season 2 of 'Dexter'!!! As for Havok, the guy played Chase in Season 3 of '24'! Havent seen him on anything since but he was a brilliant actor in that.

Oh, and yeah - Pineapple Express is one of my favourite films ever and after seeing Franco show what a diverse actor he is with that movie Im convinced he'd do a great job as Gambit or even The Joker!

MisterUnderhill, ASSASSIN666, NightAvenger4 & teabag: Thanks guys - much appreciated! :) Oh and tea - you're right about the boobs which is why Im coming around to TYLER's choice...unless Larter considers getting some 'work' done, hehe! ;)

Damn @ JOSH @ Your right!! thats a perfect NOVA pic up there, i knew someone gave me the NOVA idea, it was you lol!

So if you want him as NOVA man you can think about a diff QUICKSILVER then heh heh!? I cant remember them two being twin brothers in the comics dude??? ; D

Still, i can see him a 1000 times more QUICKSILVER than CYCLOPS, i just cant see him as that at all?!

Uh oh,,, the b00by PIcs have started!!! : D

InTylerWeTrust
InTylerWeTrust - 10/26/2009, 6:17 PM
Cyclops = Jared Padalecki



Quicksilver = Michael Rosenbaum

DDD
DDD - 10/27/2009, 4:25 AM
Padalecki for Cyclops is perfect! He has enough
emotional range in his acting to finally make
the Scott we all are familiar with in the comics!

And I too want Emma to have big boobies 'cause
that is just how she is! :D Tricia Helfer would
be the one to play Emma, she was my first choice
for Emma when I did my X-4 casting but I finally
chose Katherine Heigl 'cause she got big boobies
too and I wanted to be different!

But please somebody get rid of Hugh Jackman! He's
a good actor but he's a giant playing a midget, a
6'2" man playing a 5'3" Logan. I'm sick of Fox
getting everything wrong ALL the time! I want my
X-men to be at least the characters they are in the
comics even if they don't wear the same costumes!

THEHAWK
THEHAWK - 10/27/2009, 10:58 AM
@DDD. Dude Jackman is the one thing FOX got right! He was perfect, except for his height. But that doesn't bug me much anymore. Not as much as what else they've done.

oreilly - 1/14/2010, 5:03 PM
I like most of them, especially Ali Larter as Emma Frost actually. But the one that is a deal breaker for me is James Franco as Gambit. What they need to do is get the guy that they wanted for Wolverine originally but they could couldn't get because he wasn't available.

JOSH HOLLOWAY!!!

He's going to be available in a couple of months because LOST is ending and he's perfect for the role! Plus it will work well with continuity because he even kind of looks like an older Taylor Kitsch.
