FAN-CAST X-MEN IN THE MCU!!!!

FAN-CAST X-MEN IN THE MCU!!!!

With Spider-Man now swinging into the MCU the question asks can the same be done with the X-Men? And if so who would play them?

All choices are purely fictional and my own. Actors chosen aren't currently in any of the cinematic universes to my knowledge, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Enjoy.

X-Men

This is a casting of the first incarnation of the team, many more MCU phases for more Mutants to join.

Ralph Fiennes - Charles Xavier/Professor X.



Cillian Murphy - Scott Summer/Cyclops.


Joe Manganiello - James Howlett/Logan/Wolverine.

Jessica Chastain - Jean Grey/Marvel Girl/Phoenix.

Lupita Nyong'o - Orroro Monroe/Storm.

Ben Whishaw - Hank McCoy/Beast.


The Evil Brotherhood of Mutants


Daniel Day Lewis - Erik Lehnsherr/Magneto.

Karl Urban - Victor Creed/Sabretooth.

Charlize Therone - Raven Darkholme/Mystique.

Bonus

Aaron Taylor Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen - Pietro Maximoff/Quicksilver & Wanda Maximoff/The Scarlet Witch.


Now we know these two have already been cast in the MCU for Avengers: Age of Ultron. The two in question are being dubbed as "Miracles" in the MCU due to Fox having the rights to the X-Men.
If the rumors are true and Baron Von Strucker uses Loki's Mind Gem staff to create the "Miracles" then perhaps the story can be changed. Hyperthetically what if the mutant gene was always there hidden away but Von Strucker gave them the push they needed to gain there powers, also given that they're the son and daughter of Magneto in the comics if the X-Men were to be added to the MCU that would surely come up somewhere down the line.

Thanks for reading folks, let me know what you think of my fan-cast and theory in the comments below. Peace Out.

I like Cillian Murphy as Cyclops. The rest I have seen many times before.

Interesting choices.
If the MCU does a reboot or FOX needs to recast when they get to the current timeline and Mckellen, Stewart or Romjin can't return, they should consider your fan-cast.

There's this fascinating height discrepancy going on.
For someone as strapping as Cyclops, Murphy is shorter than Marsden, who wasn't that tall to begin with. Chastain is much much shorter than Jensen, but hey Jean Grey is closer to Chastain's height. Lupita is around the same height as Chastain, Storm isn't.
This is the first time I'm seeing an even taller fan-cast for Wolverine.
Ben Wishaw is great if they need to replace Coult's McCoy, not Kelsey Grammer's.

But then again, they're all perfect/good enough as actors or a different interpretation of teh X-men.

- I too have Ralph Fiennes as Charles Xavier! I think he'd be great in a role like that.
- Not sure I see Cillian Murphy as Cyclops.
- Oof! Wolverine is 5' 3" as listed at Marvel's Wiki page for the character. And Joe is 6' 4". He'd actually be better as Sabretooth.
- People like Jessica as Jean Grey and Lupita as Storm, so I won't complain.
- I think Day-Lewis is more fit for Magneto than Professor X. But I doubt he'd ever do a CBM.

The rest of the choices are okay. If you could, would you check out my Spider-Man fancast and leave your critique as well?

I don't like any of this... :/

Except DDL as Magneto and Urban as Sabertooth. Not choices I had thought of before, but I can dig it.

Switch Wolverine and Sabretooth and your cast is solid.

No Toad? I would love to see a Dane DeHann take a crack at Mortimer.

I think Tom Hardy would be a great Wolverine. And I'm always iffy about Armie Hammer but he'd probably make a good Cyclops. Not bad choices though, love your pick for Xavier.

I like it but I've seen about everyone one of these casting choices multiple times. Also the X-Men aren't going back to Marvek any time soon. Especially since they're basically rebooting their own Universe and can tie in with the F4.

great list... if it happened.

but never should. just because Spiderman is back doesn't mean x-men will be or should be!

X-men is doing completely fine on its own/

YOU guys try to not enjoy them because its not a part of the MCU, stop being such girls... enjoy the movies, they don't all have to be under the same universe...

THE MCU already has most of the characters in Marvel, we don't need the x-men with them. the x-men are good as their own movies...
