This is more or less a prototype cast. I wanted to present an early version of this X-Men Reboot I had, while working on the final product. I am working with certain restrictions, placed by myself, to allow for a multi-film package. One such restriction is that I must do this cast as a 20th Century Fox Property, understandably they want an X-Men Cast that can last a couple decades, this is more or less a pitch to that. Second I am using "younger" actors who're young enough to carry this franchise for roughly 20 years. Finally I would like to ask: I know there will be a few choices that will immediately kill the cast for anybody, I understand that but out of any and all respect for Fan Casting, I'd appreciate it if you looked over the entire cast and gave an opinion instead of stopping at the first "Bad/Wrong" choice you come across. That said, I hope you enjoy the cast.
Executive Producer: An executive producer (EP) enables and backs up the making of a commercial entertainment product. He or she is concerned with management accounting and possibly with associated legal issues (like copyrights or royalties). An EP also contributes to the film's budget, and does not work on set
. Kevin Feige [Notable Works: X-Men, X2: X-Men United, Avengers]: More or less added to give a sense of good faith between 20th century and Marvel Studios in the idea they might work together to help the X-Men be rebooted. This guy knows what he's doing and is very good at the producer's helm. It's fitting that he'd reboot X-Men since it was his first credited Production.

Hugh Jackman [Notable Works (As a Producer): X-Men Origins Wolverine, The Wolverine, The Greatest Showman on Earth]: I understand this is as odd as it can get. But the truth is... Hugh is more or less a staple of the X-Men franchise, he's always taken the work and wisdom and kindness of Xavier and the X-Men and has spread it. He's been known as one of the nicest actors in Hollywood, to have his money and spirit on the X-Men reboot would gives those groaning at the reboot a little hope, and it would be a sign of Honor from those who wish it to be rebooted.

Richard Donner [Notable Works (As a Producer): X-Men Origins Wolverine, X-Men, Lethal Weapon 4]: He's been on the X-Men franchise for a while, and he certainly knows what it's like to see something rebooted. From a production standpoint he's a good fit for Producing this.

. Laura Shuler-Donner [Notable Works: X-Men, X-Men Days of Future Past, The Wolverine]: She's another voice of the X-Men franchise who must understand a reboot will eventually be necessary. Her money is as good as anyone's in rebooting the franchise, given she keeps this role.

Stan Lee [Notable Works (As a Producer): The Wolverine, X-Men, Avengers]: He's Stan the man, He's been working on every Marvel film, in some capacity, for the last couple decades. He's the guy that absolutely has to be on board for this really happen.

Avi Arad [Notable Works: Spider-Man, X-Men, Fantastic Four]: Avi is a producer I admire, he stands by his work and always shows optimism for his work. He would certainly bring pomp and assistance to the project.
Producer: Film producers prepare and then supervise the making of a film before presenting the product to a financing entity or a film distributor. They might be employed by a film studio or be independent, yet either way they helm the creative people as well as the accounting personnel.
Mark Millar [Notable Works: Kick-Ass, Kick-Ass 2, The Fantastic Four]: He's the Fox/Marvel Kevin Feige and so for an X-Men reboot he's a necessity to guide everything right. He's definitely the man the X-Men reboot needs as a "spirit guide."
Producer: Film producers prepare and then supervise the making of a film before presenting the product to a financing entity or a film distributor. They might be employed by a film studio or be independent, yet either way they helm the creative people as well as the accounting personnel.
Andrew Stanton [Notable Works (As a Producer): UP, Brave, Monster's University]: Andrew is a very dedicated filmmaker and when he does something he backs it. For X-Men it needs this confidence. He's a rising filmmaker and will become something of an Icon by the time he's done.
Director of Photography: A cinematographer (usually credited with the title director of photography, or DP) is the chief over the camera and lighting crews working on a film and responsible for achieving artistic and technical decisions related to the image. The study and practice of this field is referred to as cinematography.
Claudio Miranda [Notable Works: TRON Legacy, Oblivion, Life of Pi]: If there is such thing as Art in the film world, then Claudio would be one of very, very, very few artists. He is a true painter of visuals. He's No doubt someone who can take something like X-Men and make it feel like the most unique film you've encountered visually.
Film Editor: Film editing is part of the creative post-production process of filmmaking. The term film editing is derived from the traditional process of working with film, but now it increasingly involves the use of digital technology.
James Haygood [Notable Works: The Astronaut Farmer, TRON Legacy, The Lone Ranger]: He's a great Editor when it comes to the emotions of characters, the drive of a plot, the humor of a scene, or the thrill of action. He's developed a clear formula that puts films together and creates a thrilling memorable film.
Costume Designer: A costume designer is a person who designs costumes for a film or stage production. The role of the costume designer is to create the characters and balance the scenes with texture and color, etc.The costume designer works alongside the director, scenic, lighting designer, sound designer, and other creative personnel. The costume designer may also collaborate with hair stylist, wig master, or makeup artist. In European theatre, the role is different, as the theatre designer usually designs both costume and scenic elements.
Michael Kaplan [Notable Works: Star Trek, Star Trek Into Darkness, Fight Club]: He's show very distinguished work on films like Star Trek, and it's sequel. He has created a very unique team dynamic as well as a spirit of individuality. He understands characters and their differences. He has the talent to really distinguish darker sides of characters versus nobility.
Production Designer: a production designer or P.D is the person responsible for the overall look of a filmed event such as films, TV programs, video games, music videos or adverts. Production designers have one of the key creative roles in the creation of motion pictures and television. Working directly with the director and producer, they must select the settings and style to visually tell the story.
Nathan Crowley [Notable Works: The Dark Knight Trilogy, John Carter, The Prestige]: He's created by far the most intriguing and aw-inspiring environments. To see his take on worlds Like Astroid M, The X-Mansion it would be very inspiring and intriguing to any X-Fan.
Composer: A film score (also sometimes called film music, background music, or incidental music) is original music written specifically to accompany a film. The score forms part of the film's soundtrack, which also usually includes dialogue and sound effects, and comprises a number of orchestral, instrumental or choral pieces called cues which are timed to begin and end at specific points during the film in order to enhance the dramatic narrative and the emotional impact of the scene in question.
Alan Silvestri [Notable Works: Captain America The First Avenger, Avengers, Judge Dredd]: He's a genius composer, he understands the dynamics of both a team and individual theme. He can create an epic sweep while dissecting a team with their own theme both personal and as a force. To really bring a sweeping sense of unity I think that Silvestri is a perfect choice.
Screenplay: A screenplay or script is a written work by screenwriters for a film, video game or television program. These screenplays can be original works or adaptations from existing pieces of writing. In them, the movement, actions, expression, and dialogues of the characters are also narrated. A play for television is also known as a teleplay.
Michael Ardnt [Notable Works: Oblivion, Toy Story 3, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire]: Biggest, best argument for this is the dynamics of his Toy Story 3 script. It was a team film, it took the same simple idea of getting home that the other 2 had. But he made it something special, he used it as an allegory for World War 2 P.O.W. Camps. He's kempt up genius. Just imagine what he could do with X-Men, Civil Rights, Gay Pride, and costumes! He would no doubt be able to spin an epic that would honor the nearly 50 year history of X-Men.
Director: Directors are responsible for overseeing creative aspects of a film under the overall control of the film producer. They often develop the vision for a film and carry out the vision, deciding how the film should look, in other words they make their vision come to life. They are responsible for turning the script into a sequence of shots. They also direct what tone it should have and what an audience should gain from the cinematic experience. Film directors are responsible for deciding camera angles, lens effects and lighting with the help of the cinematographer and set design with the production designer. They will often take part in hiring the cast and key crew members. They coordinate the actors' moves, or blocking and also may be involved in the writing, financing and editing of a film.
Andrew Stanton [Notable Works: John Carter, Finding Nemo, Wall-E]: He is no doubt a rising filmmaker. He's a man with an imagination miles long. He certainly has the vision to carry an epic along a large arc of films. He has the talent to lift the characters out of the comic and put them on screen.
Charles Xavier [Height: 6' 0", Age: 50's]: Professor Charles Francis Xavier (also known as Professor X) is a fictional character, a superhero that appears in comic books published by Marvel Comics. He is known as the leader and founder of the X-Men. Throughout most of his comic book history, Xavier is paraplegic, although his body houses one of the world's most powerful mutant minds. As a high-level telepath, Xavier can read, control, and influence human minds. A scientific genius, he is also a leading authority on genetics, mutation, and psionic powers. Xavier resents the violent methods of the supervillain Magneto, and argues for a pacifist path towards civil rights.
David Hyde Pierce [Height: 5' 9", Age: 55, Notable Works: Fraiser, The Perfect Host, Hellboy {Uncredited}]: David is an amazing actor. This is a role I imagine would speak quiet clearly to him, it's a role that i feel is right for him. David is openly Gay, and it gives him a ground to stand on that is similar if not the same angle Charles Xavier is from. This would allow David to really feel himself in the role as well as produce a more human take on Xavier, as opposed to the "Living Legend" take made popular by Patrick Stewart.
Scott Summers/Cyclops [Height: 6' 3", Age: 20's]: The reluctant leader of the X-Men who shoots concussive blasts from his eyes, Scott Summers has been fighting for the peaceful coexistence of mutants and humans most of his life. Cyclops has been deputy leader of the X-Men since his teen years and has seen the team go through a myriad of changes.
Garrett Hedlund [Height: 6' 2", Age: 29, Notable Works: Tron Legacy, Four Brothers, Country Song]: He's a great actor. He's giving a really great performances lately. He is the first person I really thought of for the role. I think many agree he's a strong actor and really fits well in this cast.
Jean Grey/Marvel Girl [Height: 5' 6", Age: 20's]: As a founding member of the X-Men, Jean Grey has been fighting for the peaceful coexistence of mutants and humans as Marvel Girl and later Phoenix most of her life. While piloting a spacecraft back to Earth, Jean was saved by the Phoenix Force and placed in a cocoon to heal, while the Phoenix impersonated her.
Olivia Thirlby [Height: 5' 4", Age: 26, Notable Works: Juno, Dredd, The Darkest Hour]: I love her as ana actress, she's beautiful and so immensely talented. She would really get the character, especially at a young age. She really would feel the character and if she brought 1/10th the talent she brought to Anderson it would be more iconic.
Hank McCoy/Beast [Height: 5' 11", Age: 30's]: As a founding member of the X-Men, intelligently gifted Hank McCoy has been fighting for the peaceful coexistence of mutants and humans most of his life. Born with a physique, strength, and muscular structure greatly resembling an ape, Hank was known as Beast. Later, becoming a biophysicist at the Brand Corporation, Hank drank a serum he had created and further mutated himself into a blue furred, strong beast with fangs and claws. This take would show Beast as the first actual student and would be the second Teacher at Xavier's school.
Sean Maher [Height: 5' 10", Age: 38, Notable Works: Serenity, Much Ado About Nothing,The Playboy Club]: I've wanted to cast him as Beast, I love his work as an actor. He's got the intelligence and the voice to really play Beast the way I remember him. He would do an amazing job as Beast. He would really play a Beast similar of the Beast in the 90's Animated series.
Warren Worthington III/Angel [Height: 6' 0", Age: 20's]: As a founding member of the X-Men, wealthy heir Warren Worthington III has been using his wealth and fighting for the peaceful coexistence of mutants and humans most of his life. Born with hollow bones, little body fat, and feathered wings, Warren is able to soar high as Angel.
Armie Hammer [Height: 6' 5", Age: 28, Notable Works: The Social Network, J. Edgar, The Lone Ranger]: He's a good actor and for some reason I've always seen him in the role. He's got the look and feel of the character to me and he would be a fun addition.
Bobby Drake/Iceman [Height: 5' 8", Age: 20's]: As a founding member of the X-Men, Bobby Drake has been fighting for the peaceful coexistence of mutants and humans most of his life. A very powerful elemental, Bobby uses his cryokinesis to create ice shields, freeze enemies, and absorb cold or moisture around himself.
Kyle Gallner [Height: 5' 8 1/2", Age: 27, Notable Works: A Nightmare on Elm Street, Smallville, Cherry]: Kyle is a good actor, and a fun actor to watch. He does a wonderful job playing smart elect, and I think this would be a good maybe similar to a break out role for him.
Ororo Munroe/Storm [Height: 5' 11", Age: 20's]: After her parents were murdered in the rubble of a plane crash, Ororo Munro began life as a thief with a severe case of claustrophobia, until she was worshiped as a goddess in a tribe in Africa. After Professor Charles Xavier recruited her for his X-Men, Ororo matured to the point of leading them, fighting for the peaceful coexistence of mutants and humans most of her life.
Jessica Lucas [Height: 5' 6", Age: 28, Notable Works: Evil Dead, Cult, Cloverfield]: She's a wonderful actress. She's got a very strong vibe for her that gives her a very good performance. She's not exactly the same size as Storm, but she's a strong actress with enough talent to compensate.
Jim Howlett/Wolverine [Height: 5' 3", Age: Unknown]: With a past shrouded in mystery, Wolverine's memories are full of government secrets, traumatic events, and death. Remembering only escaping Weapon X and later joining Alpha Flight, the man known as Logan was approached with a chance to change the world, by Professor Charles Xavier. After joining Professor X's X-Men, Wolverine has been using his mutant powers, to heal at an accelerated rate, peak physical condition, and razor sharp bone claws that protrude from between his knuckles laced with the indestructible metal Adamantium, to fight for the peaceful coexistence of mutants and humans most of his life.
Kit Harington [Height: 5' 7 1/2", Age: 27, Notable Works: Game of Thrones, Pompeii, Seventh Son]: He's a young one, but he's a damn good actor and stands at 5ft 7 1/2 inches. He's got a grizzled look, and a rough voice. He's definitely the right guy to play Wolverine long term and would definitely leave his mark on the character in the best of way.
Jubilation Lee/Jubilee [Height: 5' 5", Age: Early 20's]: A mutant, Jubilee had the superhuman power to generate "sparkles" out of her hands, consisting of explosive plasma. A teenage "mall rat."
Brenda Song [Height: 5’2”, Age: 26, Notable Works: Dads, The Social Network, Thunder Alley]: A fantastic actress who’s been doing Disney shows for the last Decade. She is a Chinese American born in California while she’s older than most fans would like for Jubilee older performers have played younger roles. She is an actress who is talented in action having a black belt in Tae Kwan Do and the perfect look for Jubilee there is no doubt that for an established or growing Jubilee she could do the role perfectly.
Piotr Rasputin/Colossus [Height: 6' 6" {Normal}, 7' 5" {Armoed}, Age: 20's]: Born to a simple farm life, Piotr Rasputin was the younger brother of the famous cosmonaut Mikhail Rasputin. Gifted as an artist, Piotr was content with his simple life, until he was approached with a chance to change the world, by Professor Charles Xavier. After joining Professor X's X-Men, Piotr has been using his mutant power, to turn to organic steel and gain superhuman strength, to fight for the peaceful coexistence of mutants and humans most of his life.
Alexander Ludwig [Height: 6' 2", Age: 21, Notable Works: Vikings, The Hunger Games, Lone Survivor]: I like this kid, He's a strong actor, and he's done some solid work as an actor. He's got the look down pat, but more so he has talent, While I am unsure that he can do a Russian accent, I'd think that the money for a dialect coach would definitely would be well spent. He's be dynamic as Colossus.
Kitty Pryde/Shadowcat [Height: 5' 6", Age: Late-Teens]: Born to a simple life, computer genius Kitty Pryde's life was changed when she learned that she had the mutant power to phase through solid materials. After being kidnapped by the White Queen, Kitty joined the X-Men as its spoiled bratty, easily angered member, and has been fighting for the peaceful coexistence of mutants and humans most of her life. Hailee Steinfeld [Height: 5' 7", Age: 17, Notable Works: Romeo + Juliet, Ender's Game, True Grit]: I haven't met anyone who doesn't love her as an actress. She does wonderful work and is really fun to seen act on screen. She would do a wonderful job, and would definitely take the role and evolve into it.
Kurt Wagner/Nightcrawler [Height: 5' 9", Age: 20's]: Born to a demon, claiming to be the inspiration for Satan, Azazel, and the shape-shifting mutant terrorist, Mystique, Kurt Wagner was abandoned at birth, due to his demonic appearance, and raised highly religious by circus gypsies. Born with a unnatural level of gymnastic agility, and later gaining the ability to teleport, Kurt became a high wire wonder, until a violent mob drove him from the circus. Saved by Professor Charles Xavier, Kurt joined the X-Men and has been fighting for the peaceful coexistence of mutants and humans most of his life.
Josh Zuckerman [Height: 5' 10", Age: 29, Notable Works: Kyle XY, Sex Drive, Feast]: He's a good actor, I think he's done really decent work and has just been cast in more soap-opera esq series, and I think this would allow for a more dramatic and fun return. He's definitely fun as an actor and would do the role justice.
Anna-Marion "Marie" Carlyle/Rogue [Height: 5' 8", Age: 20's]: Anna Marie's mutant power manifested in a way that prevented her from being able to touch another person without absorbing their essence, personality, and in some cases, their powers. Out of fear of hurting her loved ones, she ran away and eventually joined up with the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Acting on their orders, Rogue attacked Carol Danvers and permanently absorbed her powers of tough skin, superhuman strength, and flight and used those powers to attack the Avengers and X-Men.
Rooney Mara [Height: 5' 3", Age: 28, Notable Works: The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, The Social Network, A Nightmare on Elm Street]: I like Rooney as an actress. I think she's got some serious talent and would really harness this role, especially after the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, she really held her own as a strong Independent character and as a character that has to fight and protect herself.
Remy Lebeau/Gambit [Height: 6' 2", Age: 20's]: A mutant, Gambit can mentally create, control and manipulate pure kinetic energy to his every whim and desire. He is also incredibly knowledgeable and skilled in card-throwing, hand-to-hand combat, and the use of a bō. Few X-Men trusted Gambit, who was originally a professional thief, when he first joined the group. There was consistently a source of stress between him and his on-again, off-again love interest Rogue. This was exacerbated when his connections to villain Mister Sinister were revealed, although some of his team members accept that Gambit honestly seeks redemption. Often written as a "ladies' man", Gambit has shown a more vulnerable side of himself over the years, especially when it comes to Rogue. Gambit remains fiercely proud of his Louisiana heritage, and speaks in a very thick Cajun accent.
Emile Hirsh [Height: 5' 9", Age: 29, Notable Works: Into the Wild, Speed Racer, Milk]: I have really have grown to like Emile as an actor, he's really grown with his performances and I think that this fits for him as an actor. I think it would be a bit to get use to his take on a cajun accent and I think he would be wonderful as Gambit I think he'd do it very well and really adapt to it.
Graydon Creed [Height: 6’, Age: 30’s]: Graydon formed a group called the Friends of Humanity, dedicated to opposing mutant civil rights by committing acts of terrorism against peaceful mutants and mutant sympathizers, and using the acts of violent mutants such as Magneto to rally support for their cause.
Wes Bentley [Height: 5’11”, Age: 36, Notable Works: American Beauty, The Hunger Games, P2]: He’s actually a decent actor who can turn a good performance in when he’s motivated. He could no doubt play the slippery little bastard that Graydon is and has a similarity to my Sabretooth choice and small similarities to my Mystique choice.
Senator Robert Kelly [Height: 5’10”, Age: 40’s-50’s]: He is a prominent United States Senator who began his career on an anti-mutant platform, and as the X-Men team is made up entirely of mutants, his role tends to be that of an antagonist. However, towards the latter days of his career, he began to change his views on mutants as a whole.
Jon Hamm [Height: 6’ 1/2”, Age: 43, Notable Works: We Were Soldiers, Mad Men, A-Team]: No one wears a suit or gives off the radiance of a politician like Jon Hamm; who was at one time a Superman fan favorite choice, would more than likely play an ideal Robert Kelly. He has a voice that people listen to and despite the characters lack of powers {which might be what draw Jon Hamm to it} he is a key character to the X-Men Franchise and deserves a great actor
.
Reverend William Stryker [Height: 6' 0", Age: 50's-60's]: Stryker is a religious fanatic, with a military history which may have involved the Weapon X project (the same project which results in Wolverine being given his adamantium skeleton). Stryker is characterized by his unequivocal hatred of mutants. So strong is this hatred that Stryker goes so far as to kill his own wife and mutant-born son, Jason, immediately after his birth in Nevada. Crazed and outraged, Stryker then makes a failed suicide attempt. As time passes, he is convinced that Satan has a plot to destroy humankind by corrupting prenatal souls, the result of this corruption being mutants. Additionally, Stryker eventually comes to see the birth of his mutant son as a sign from God, directing him to his true calling: ensuring the eradication of all mutants.
Mark Harmon [Height: 6; 0", Age: 62, Notable Works: NCIS, Freaky Friday, Weather Girl]: I think Harmon has become very typecast as a hero, and I think this would be a nice role to break that and really create something well. I think this is a very sympathetic villain. I think this is a role Harmon can really do something with. This would really bring something to the table that the William Stryker that Brian Cox didn't.
Dr. Bolivar Trask [Height: 5’10”, Age: 40’s] The architect for the US Government 'Sentinel Initiative', a response to Magneto's terrorist attacks on Capitol Hill. Initially, the Sentinels patrolled Los Angeles, and then New York City, destroying any human containing mutant genes.
Patrick Dempsey[Height: 5’10½” , Age: 48, Notable Works: Transformers Dark of the Moon, Grey's Anatomy, Enchanted]: As much as Transformers 3 sucked, he pretty much played a watered down version of Trask, it seems like a role he could adapt to quickly, could work for him if he doesn’t get to be Dr. Strange.
Master Mold [Height: 30' 0", Age: N/A]: Master Mold was created by Bolivar Trask to build an army of MK I Sentinels to control the mutant population. However, this version was damaged when the Sentinel Headquarters was destroyed by the X-Men.
Jackie Earle Haley [Height: 5' 5", Age: 52, Notable Works: Robocop, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Watchmen]: Jackie is an awesome actor, he's very popular in the nerd circle and I, for one, would like to see him pop up in more roles, comic book and Non-comic book related. I think the role of Master Mold is something that does work with Jackie. I think not only could he have the right voice for it but he could also bring layered dimensions and cause Master Mold to feel more of a threat.
Bastion [Height: 6' 3", Age: N/A]: Bastion was "born" when the giant robotic Sentinel, Master Mold, having absorbed the advanced Sentinel prototype Nimrod into its systems, fought the X-Men who saw no other way to stop the virtually indestructible amalgam except to force it through the Siege Perilous, a pan-dimensional portal which subjects those who pass through to the judgment of the universe's higher powers.Re-emerging from the portal as an amnesiac human/Sentinel hybrid with a seemingly immortal essence, he was taken in by a woman named Rose Gilberti. Living with Rose, she adopted him as a surrogate son and gave him the name Sebastion Gilberti. He began to hear about America's mutant problem. At some point, Bastion fell in with anti-mutant groups, like Graydon Creed's Friends of Humanity.
Benedict Cumberbatch [Height: 6' 0", Age: 37, Notable Works: Star Trek Into Darkness, Fifth Estate, Sherlock]: Benedict is a wonderful actor. He has played Supreme Evil and Unwavering good. Neither seemed to hinder his talent as an actor. To simply put it, Bastion isn't a popular character, and It would really allow Cumberbatch to take the role and do literally whatever he wanted with it and have the fans accept it. He's a strong enough actor to really play that off well and the end result would be one hell of a performance.
Max Eisenhardt/Erik Lensherr/Magneto [Height: 6’2”, Age: 50’s-80’s]: A powerful mutant with the ability to generate and control magnetic fields, Magneto has been the X-Men's most prominent enemy ever since his first appearance. In his early appearances, his motives were bent on megalomania, but writers have since fleshed out his character and origin, revealing him to be a Jewish Holocaust survivor whose actions are driven by the purpose of protecting the mutant race from suffering a similar fate. His role in comics have varied from supervillain to antihero to even hero. His character's early history has been compared with the civil rights leader Malcolm X.
Christopher Lambert [Height: 5' 11", Age: 57, Notable Works: Highlander, Ghost Rider Spirit of Vengeance, Electric Slide]: I am probably the Biggest Christopher Lambert fan on the sight. He is a wonderful actor, and best known for his role as Conner MacLeod in Highlander. To be blunt about it, he's a great actor, and I would love to see what his Magento is. I think the character is unique enough for him to really take it and transform it, I think he's a unique enough actor to really make it stick, and I think he's perfectly aged and built for the role. He still does physical work and he still acts extremely well, him as Magneto would be golden.
Pietro Maximoff-Lensherr/Quicksilver[Height: 6’, Age: 20’s-30’s]: Quicksilver is a mutant capable of moving and thinking at superhuman speeds. Originally capable of running at the speed of sound, able to run at supersonic speeds of up to Mach 5 and resist the effects of friction, reduced oxygen, and kinetic impact while moving at super-speeds. The character's speed allows him to perform feats such as create cyclone-strength winds; run up walls and cross bodies of water.
Anton Yelchin [Height: 5' 9", Age: 25, Notable Works: Star Trek, Fright Night, Terminator Salvation]: I've often seen Anton cast as characters like Harry Osborn or Toad, but Never Quicksilver. I think this role is perfectly suited for a man of Yelchin's talent. He does a wonderful job no matter what character he is and I think he could give the definitive Quicksilver.
Wanda Maximoff-Lensherr/Scarlet Witch [Height: 5’7”, Age: 20’s-30’s]: The Scarlet Witch is a mutant who had the ability to manipulate probability via her "hexes" (often manifesting physically as "hex spheres" or "hex bolts"). These hexes are relatively short range, and are limited to her line of sight. Casting a hex requires a gesture and concentration on her part, though the gestures are largely a focus for the concentration and despite this precision, the hexes are not necessarily guaranteed to work, particularly if Wanda is tired or using her powers excessively.
Imogen Poots [Height: 5' 4", Age: 24, Notable Works: Fright Night, 28 Weeks Later, Filth]: I know she has already worked with Yelchin, but that's why I chose her. She's a wonderful actress and she has worked with my Quicksilver choice so there is already some comradery there. They know each other and have a foundation to build their characters on. It would be supremely wonderful.
Mortimer Toynbee/Toad[Height: 5’9”, Age: 40’s]: Toad was originally a weak, hunchbacked mutant, with a superhuman leaping ability. He was Magneto's sniveling servant in the 1960s line-up of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.
Sean Astin [Height: 5' 7", Age: 43, Notable Works: Rudy, Goonies, Lord of the Rings]: I like Sean a lot, and the nerd circle finds him to be a fun inclusion as well. I think he's probably the one actor who would actually be optimistic about taking this role, and i find it in good spirit that he strongly resembles the original 616 Toad. I think if anyone could have fun and enjoy the role, while performing the role well it would be Sean!
Fred Dukes/Blob[Height: 5’10”, Age: 40’s]: A mutant originally depicted as a morbidly obese circus freak, the Blob claims to be immovable. He possesses an extreme amount of pliable body mass, which grants him superhuman strength and his own gravitational pull. Possessing the mindset of a bully, he mostly uses his powers for petty crime and as a member of the Brotherhood of Mutants and Freedom Force.
Jason Segel [Height: 6' 4", Age: 34]: This is really awkward I'll admit, but Jason fits this role well. He's got the humor for the character, and He's actually got the right frame to add weight too. I think he would make Blob a less-stupid and more just all around funny character But I also think he can bring some emotional weight to the character as well. He might not be the top of everyone's list for it but he would be great.
Jason Wynegarde/Mastermind [Height: 5’10” {Illusion} 6’2” {Normal}, Age: 40’s]: a mutant with the power to generate complex telepathic illusions. He was a founding member of the first Brotherhood of Evil Mutants and later a probationary member of the Lords Cardinal of the Hellfire Club.
David Tennant [Height: 6’1”, Age: 42/43, Notable Works: Dr.Who, Fright Night {2011}, The Decoy Bride]: An amazing and best remembered as the Doctor from DR.WHO he looks and has the ability to portray a convincing Mastermind He has the Talent and stature and poise to play Mastermind.
Gunther Bain/Unus Untouchable[Height: 6’1”, Age: 30’s-40’s]: born in Italy, where he discovered his mutation Gunther Bain came to the United States and became a wrestler, and when the Beast briefly left the X-Men, he was able to defeat him in a wrestling match. Once in America, he sought out the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants to join them. He turned criminal, and fought the X-Men alongside the group. During the battle, his powers were enhanced by a shot fired from Beast's gun, increasing his power beyond his ability to control it, and making him unable to touch anything. He promised to reform, and his normal power level was restored by the Beast. He became a good friend of the Blob, and they teamed up together on various schemes, such as posing as the X-Men and framing them for robbery before both mutants went their separate ways.
Luke Goss [Height: 6' 1", Age: 45, Notable Works: Blade 2, Hellboy 2, Death Race 2]: Luke is an actor often cast by Guillermo Del Toro, simply cause Del Toro sees what great an actor he is and So do I. He wasn't always my choice for Unus but in the end I feel he is a much better choice for the role and I think this is a role that would speak to him as a continuous villain actor.
Victor Creed/Sabretooth [Height: 6’6”, Age: 100’s {Subject looks to be in his 30’s-40’s}]: The character Wolverine is depicted as his long-time enemy, although conflicting accounts have been given as to the origin of their feud. It is also known that he and Sabretooth were victims of the Cold War super soldier program Weapon X, and that Sabretooth saw Wolverine as competition and tried to make his life miserable. While Wolverine is depicted as suppressing his more savage qualities, Sabretooth does the opposite and embraces them.
Jared Padelecki [Height: 6' 4", Age: 31, Notable Works: Supernatural, Friday the 13th, House of Wax]: By far my oddest pick out of my casting choices. But there is an element to Jared that I can't explain that just makes him perfect. We've seen his character, Sam, go extremely violent in Supernatural, remember the demon blood storyline?, But there's always been an element holding his character back. I want to give Jared a role where he get's to unleash himself and really play a horrible human being. I want to give Jared a chance to play a true monsters {an My favorite Marvel Character} because I see something in him that makes that accessible. I think if anyone would make this role a breakout performance it would definitely be Jared. I think he has all the earmarks to play Sabretooth, he just needs the opportunity and the motivation to really transform into this character. Trust me, he would be dynamic!
Cain Marko/Juggernaut[Height: 6’10”, Age: 40’s-50’s]: When Cain Marko finds the Gem of the mystical entity Cyttorak, he is empowered with magical energies and transformed into an immortal avatar for the entity in question. As the Juggernaut, Marko possesses superhuman strength, being capable of shattering mountains, lifting and using buildings as weapons, and extreme durability. The Juggernaut is described as physically unstoppable once in motion, does not tire from physical activity and is able to survive without food, water, or oxygen.
Dolph Lundgren [Height: 6' 5", Age: 56, Notable Works: Rocky IV, Universal Soldier, Expendables]: I understand Dolph is a popular choice for Creed, but I wanted to see something new. Juggernaut is an older individual, he's older then Charles, and I wanted to honor that Idea in casting Juggernaut by casting Someone around the age of my Xavier choice. He's a wonderful actor, He's always such fun and this role would really work well for him. It allows him to move with his size as well as embody something unstoppable.
Raven Darkholme/Mystique [Height: 5’10”, Age: Unknown{Exact Age is not known, Subject looks to be in her 30’s}]: Little was known about Mystique's past due to the fact that she could eliminate the outward signs of aging with her shape-shifing; it was not known exactly how old she was. She apparently learned to use her powers at a very early age which made her family fear her, for there is no evidence known to the public or the government that Raven Darkholme ever looked like anything but a normal human being.
Sienna Miller [Height: 5’5”, Age: 32, Notable Works: G.I.J.O.E. Rise of Cobra, Layer Cake, Factory Girl]: his remains for me the logical choice. Sienna is a good actress and despite the rest of the film she gave a solid performance as the Baroness, while this role would be a different skin for her it’s one I could see her having fun, we all know she has the talent and the looks for it and fits pretty damn well as Mystique.
Saint John Allerdyce/Pyro [Height: 5’10”, Age: 30’s]: A mutant who has the psionic ability to manipulate flame by shaping it as he desires, increasing or decreasing its heat, intensity, and size.
Dustin Clare [Height: 5' 10", Age: 32, Notable Works: MacLeod's Daughter, Spartacus, Goddess]: A Natural Aussie, and a Spartacus alumni, Dustin has proven himself to be quite the talented actor. He's really played a mine of different people that have altogether different worlds and he's sold it well. He's an actor I could believe would make me like Pyro more so as a character than just admiring his powers.
James Madrox/Multiple Man [Height: 5’11”, Age: 30’s-40’s]: Jamie Madrox is a changeling, which is either a predecessor to or a subset of mutants. His power is the ability to create perfect duplicates, or "dupes", of himself, and all items on his person (clothing, weaponry, et cetera) through impact when he absorbs kinetic energy (although this sometimes has happened at will) through an unknown process. Most of the time, this is caused by him snapping his fingers, stomping his foot, being struck, or collisions. Each of the duplicates has exactly the same power as Jamie himself, and has independent thought, though Madrox "Prime" is usually telepathically and empathically linked to the dupes.
Neil Patrick Harris[Height: 6’1”, Age: 41, Notable Works: How I Met Your Mother, The Smurfs, Doogie Houser]: He’s a good actor that has begun to show the bulk of his talent and hasn’t done anything big in the last couple years. He could fit well into a supporting actors role and play a decent Multiple Man.
Alex Summers/Havok [Height: 6’, Age: 20’s]: Havok generates powerful “plasma blasts”, an ability he has had difficulty controlling. He is the son of Corsair, the younger brother of the X-Men's Cyclops, and the older brother of Vulcan. He often resents Cyclops' authoritative attitude and reputation as a model X-Man.
Scott Eastwood [Height: 5' 11" {Estimated}, Age: 28, Notable Works: Gran Torino, Flags of our Fathers, Texas Chainsaw]: I've actually become a fan of Scott as an Actor. He's a very talented one that is sure to see leading man status in no time. I think he could really work well with Garrett on the dynamics of the character's relationship. I think he could really bring a lot of bitter feelings to the Havok role and really take the character on a journey to being a better person. With Scott in the role I believe he could ascend his character to a hero.
Dominic Petros/Avalanche [Height: 5’11”, Age: 30’s-40’s]: Dominic Petros is an immigrant from Greece and a mutant with the powers to generate powerful seismic waves from his hands strong enough to shatter inorganic matter and create localized earthquakes. Being a mutant and seeing his own kind hunted and killed made him realize how ignorant mankind can be and he decided to hide his mutant powers from the world.
Dominic Purcell [Height: 6’2”, Age: 44, Notable Works: Killer Elite, Prison Break, Blade Trinity]: He’s an actor that is featured quite frequently in fan casts personally he’s a nice fit for a simple appearance of Avalanche.
Dr. Nathan Essex/Mister Sinister[Height: 6’5”, Age: 200’s {Subject does not show signs of age Past 50’s and is kept alive via clones}]: 19th Century scientist Nathaniel Essex was genetically altered by the "first" mutant, Apocalypse, who shared his "survival of the fittest" philosophy. Sinister is perhaps the greatest geneticist in the Marvel Universe, capable of cloning, creating, enhancing or controlling mutant abilities.
Oded Fehr [Height: 6' 2", Age: 43, Notable Works: Resident Evil Apocalypse, Covert Affairs, The Mummy]: Oded is an actor with a lot of talent, a lot of potential who takes low-profile roles. To his credit it has worked, he has crept into fame and has done well for himself as an actor. He's really someone who I've always wanted to see play a sinister role, He's always had the talent to play a great villain I think all he needs is the opportunity, given that I think the role of Mister Sinister would be perfect for him.
En Sabah Nur/Apocalypse[Height: 7’, Age: Agless {Thousands of Years old But does not Show signs of age}]: The First Mutant to exist, a god of evil and darkness who seeks to control a universe in ruins so that only the strong shall Survive.
Javier Bardem [Height: 5' 11", Age: 45, Notable Works: Skyfall, No Country For Old Men, Biutiful]: Javier is an unparallel actor. He had played a wonderful, iconic Bond Villain. He has always given such haunted performances that, really it fit to cast him as a "God" of Darkness and Evil. If there is anyone who can bring weight, darkness, and fun to a role like Apocalypse I think it has to be Javier Bardem. He would be iconic.
