Before reading my article:,I want to say first,that I don't have,as a fan,anything against FOX or their way of making movies,I am just comic book fan who want to express his passion by making this article,in my opinion,the X-men movies are a great one genrally speaking,action sequences and stroylines are entratining so far,despite that they are not faithful to comics or what the fans wants.
Bryan Singer done an amazing job in the x-men movies,to the point i think he meant to direct them,and I think he should stay in x-men franshise because he has vision,but yet I want them to stay faithful to comics,DAYS OF FUTURE PAST,done an amazing job in fixing the timeline and getting things to the way they should be but still I want them to follow the right timeline starting with X-men first class or the original five and I have some ideas about it with the cast,as I kept some of the original actors in franchise
Children Of Atom Movie Idea:
This movie takes place in the 70’s and 80’s era, where the fact that there are mutants walking around us in not hidden anymore, by time people have become more aware of mutants and how their powers can be such a dangerous to humans life, as consequence, a new anti-mutants organization rose to eradicate the x-genes from the earth, leaded by William Stryker and his religious cult, the movie also centers professor Xavier and magneto.
As it show how Professor Xavier built his original roster, from Scott Summers, to Jean Grey, to Hank McCoy, Angel and Bobby Drake, in order to show the world how the mutant powers can be used for good and to built a better world, to settle the conflict between human and mutant once for all and to help all the repressed mutant all around the world to join a better cause. On the other hand, we have Erik The anti-hero the villain and his long repressed hatred toward humans, which make him targeted as terrorist and tyrant not to mention his mutant gang the brotherhood of evil mutants.
As the movie sequences progressed, we get to know more about the plot and Stryker plan to eradicate the mutant species, as he arrested all the mutants around the world and gathered them in one place, GENEOSHA, and island where mutants are being tortured and experimented on and suppressed by humans ,It reaches the moment where Stryker utilize Ronald Reagan Strategic Defense Initiative also known as Star Wars to bomb the whole island and mutant in it, but Stryker faces magneto, him and his team of mutants, when magneto lunch an attack against the human kind by redirecting the missiles in space to strike down the white house.
As for Xavier he stays confused about helping his kind or being on the side human, at time where him and his x-men stops magneto and his teams and try to find a solution that benefits the mutant and humans, as a result:
The x-men and the brotherhood of evil mutant collide in fight and lead to the final rupture between Xavier and Erik, Magneto is being arrested and genosha becomes the city of mutants, refuge of every mutant, isolated from humans and solution to keep mutants far from humans, and the resentment toward mutant spread widely and as consequence more inventing of sentinels
James Mcavoy and Michael Fassbender:

I decided to keep Mcavoy and Fassbender as Charles Xavier and Erik,as for multiple reasons,first,because of their top notch performances as characters,that I don't think any other actors could done them any justice,Mcavoy was able to be wise and guiding charles such in comics and at the same times we see the broken charles which made us heartbroken,As for Michael Fassbender,I think replacing him with an other actor would be a horrible thing to do cause I can't see other actor as erik,Michael is the true one magneto,powerful and menacing such as in comics
The Original Five
<a href="http://imgur.com/gD8w5xR"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/gD8w5xR.png" title="Hosted by imgur.com"/></a>
The original five are an important part of x-men history, they consider being the first x-men and I want them to be the main center of the movie. As to give every character it chance to develop and progress in the movie and concentrate on each one of them, and stay faithful to the form of the original roster as for my choices for the team
Travis Caldwell as Scott Summer "Cyclops": A young fresh new actor Travis Caldwell is my choice actor to play young Scott summers, mostly because he fits visually and look like Scott, he was in the fox show the gate, He is a fine actor I think that he can play the laid back more fun Scott before he turns into extremist and tough taskmaster older Scott
Molly C.Quinn as Jean Grey "Marvel Girl":For one of fan’s favorite character, I went to cast one of well known tv actresses Molly C. Quinn that you might recognize her as delightful Alexis from castle, Molly can definitely pull off beautiful looking Jean, not to mention that she is a good actress that with her sweet strawberry smile can bring the shy jean that turns into a powerful woman
Wyatt Nash as Warren Worthington "Angel": he is a model turned actor, I looked for actors to play Warren but some of them were very well known, so he came to my head since I recently watched him in Pretty Little Liars, I thought the blonde hair and the smile not to mention good physique that sold angel to me in his younger years
Nicholas Hoult as Hank McCoy "Beast": I thought to myself why I keep tiring myself looking for an actor to play Hank, While I aleardy got one, despite the lack of similarity between Hoult and hank visually speaking, he still despite of that, gave a good performance as geeky shy hank in his first years and I would love to see interact more with the team
Cody Christian as Bobby Drake "Iceman": Yet another not well known name to play Bobby, if you are a fan of Pretty Little Liars, You might recognize him as Lucy Hale Aria younger brother, I thought to myself, He is such as Iceman, With his annoying sort of douche attitude, But still a great assets to the team
Lucas Till and Annesophia Robb as Havok and Polaris: I thought those two as more of separated from the x-men, as Lorna and Alex, were always on their own road, differing from the x-men ,I kept lucas as Havok as I done with the other actors, He has potential to play the character well and I think it was a good cast no need to change it, As for Lorna I chose Annesophia robb which you might recognize her as carrie and oher several movie, she made think she would be a good Polaris in her debut and wanted an actress that can play bit of edge since lorna differ from Jean and stand bit different that my pick Molly c Quinn Jean ,would also love to see the love triangle between Havok and Polaris and Iceman

brotherhood of evil mutants:
Thought of them not the main villain of the movie, but more of opponent and motives that differ from the X-men and serves magneto philosophy and I wanted to keep them as terrorist and keep William Stryker as main villain for the movie

Aidan Gillen as Mastermind: Mastermind role will extend more in the franchise as a part of hellfire club and pivotal part in the dark phoenix saga, I wanted more of younger looking actor due to the latter reasons and for that I chosen Aidan Gillen Littlefinger from Game of thrones, yep!, He is perfect in playing foxy, sneaky, dark and manipulative character Imagine sansa stark being Jean Grey and him being Jason and toying with her hahah lovely
Evan Peters as Quicksilver “Pietro Maximoff “: no brainer obvious choice to play quicksilver, He was amazing and the critics approve that
Astrid Berges-Frisbey as Wanda Maximoff “Scarlet Witch”: I want someone to level up the performance of evan peters as quicksilver, I looked for an actresses to play the part till I set my mind on this euro beauty Astrid, that you know her as mermaid in pirate of Caribbean, she has stunning fragile look and thought wanda was also some sort of damaged and beautiful girl who loathed her father
Evan Jonigkeit or Iwan Rheon as toad: I would give the actor that played toad in DOFP as second chance to play toad, If not I would pick familiar face Iwan Rheon from got and misfits, he definitely was great as disgusting, stomach ache, vomiting Bolton bastard in got and I think he would be great as toad
Daniel Franseze as Blob: you might recognize him as the gay friend of Lindsey Lohan character in mean girls, but yet this actor has the physique and the acting chops to pull of the dumby dumby yet scary blob, he had done so many great performances as psycho

William Stryker: I didn’t want to cast Stryker because that would be a waste of time any actor can play the character cause it one dimensional and there is a lot of actor who can do the character and I preferred to cast the main characters, I want William Stryker to be the main villain as I explained in my story above, as he goes to build a secret military base in geneosha we he held down mutants and uses the missiles planted in space to bomb the whole island eradicating half of mutants, But soon he faces magneto and his evil brotherhood of mutants and The x-men on the other hand
