ELLE FANNING, PLEASE!

She was great in Maleficent, really great!

But, i preferred her in a Marvel movie, because the FOX's movies, in total, are bad.

@FordEl To be fair, Famke is one of a kind (her role in GOLDENEYE, dear lawddddd).

While watching Interstellar I kept thinking, "You know, Chalamet would make a pretty good Robin" so I'm okay with him.

Just don't cast Dylan Sprayberry, not a fan of that guy.

If she were 4 or 5 years older Mackenzie Foy (Young Murph in Interstellar) would have made an awesome Jean Grey

"“X-Men Apocalypse” will highlight Magneto's romance with Mystique, putting stars Michael Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence front and center, which is right where Fox — and audiences — want them."

I read that headline a while ago, but didn't have the time to read the article. Then I kind of forgot about it. Now it's all back. I might be alone on this, but that is so very far from what I want from 'Apocalypse' it's not even funny... :/

My choice would first be Steinfeld. She was fantastic in True Grit. Then Fanning. Uh that's gonna be a no on Moretz.

I've never seen those male actors in roles before, so I'm ambivalent.

I've heard of quite a few of them and they all have some good acting chops.

Wow...I mean these kids are like 18 but they look 14...maybe go the Tobey McGuire route and cast someone older who looks youngish? I mean sure the X-Men were young when they started, but they didn't look 14 lol They were like college bound aside from Ice Man, and he was 16, and begrudgingly let on the team.

I don't really have an opinion on the actors they're considering for Scott, unfortunately.
