The future of the X-Men on the big screen

Yeah. Gaspard Ulliel would be a perfect Gambit. The problem is that he will be too old to play Remy when it is time for MCU X-Men. He is 35 now.

He was my classical pick for Gambit, but I agree, it's too late for him now. Between him and Gemma Chan, we really missed out on perfect Gambits and Psylockes.

He still looks younger and way more fit for the character then Tatum...never got that casting. But I agree maybe Gambit and Rogue should be in their early 20's.... Iceman, Kitty and Jubilee in their late teens....Cyclops, Betsy, Storm, Jean, Nightcrawler and Colossus in their mid to late 20's...Banshee, Beast, Moira, Forge and Logan in their mid to late 30's...Professor and Magneto should be 50.

Never heard of him but looked him up and he totally has the look. Also, he doesn't look that old to me? He could still pass as 20's (unless those pics are old).

Is he also a good actor? If he is, I wouldn't care about him being played by a slightly older actor.

But mutants age slower. I mean how else could Magneto still be youngish despite having his history.

Then again, I've seen lots of resistance towards the idea that mutants age slower.

He got de-aged, probably more than once.

He's a very good actor. He's french, so his acting style is more inwoards compared to the americans, specially in the MCU, who are more "showers". Which would fit Gambit I guess...more mysterious but yet charming.

Gaspard Ulliel should have been starring as Gambit for years now, already. Fox dropped the ball. He can't start as Gambit in 5 years, though, even if he's still holding up nicely now. I will forever thank the gods that Tatum never got shot in the role, though. The man might have been a decent Remy back at the very start of his career, but not when they were actually trying to do the film. To me, Remy still feels like a younger character. You could do a teenaged Gambit and it would be great(Romeo and Juliet, but in New Orleans, and it's the Thieves vs the Assassins). Even now in the comics after decades of stories, I feel like he's still in his late 20's max.

Beast is only one or two years older than the rest of the O5. Bobby was 16, Scott/Jean/Warren, 17, and Hank 18/19 in issue one. I don't think you have to overemphasize the age difference, rather just the difference in personality. And I hope we start the MCU X-Men as college aged kids. I want to see most their journey, not hear about it in exposition. You can cast Logan and Forge on the older side of things, but the main cast should be like Tom Holland's age at most.

I would put Xavier and Magneto at about 40-55. They would have been even younger in the original comics, but that's a good age to match most of the established MCU characters like T'Challa, Dr. Banner, or Dr. Strange(who should be their peers more or less).

If the rumors of a series are true, I hope this is what they do. Show him in NOLA, thieving and romancing BellaDonna. The series could end with him leaving NOLA or that could be a season finale and then the next season could be about him working with Sinister.

Absolutely gorgeous. This artwork makes me hanker for a Santa Monica Studios produced X-Men game more than anything. I thought he really nailed the designs for Scott, Kurt, Hank, and Ororo in particular. I really like what he has done with the uniforms. Storm looks very regal and formidable in that pose.

The artist managed to create designs that seem true to the classic comic book look of each character while also appearing somewhat functional. If this aesthetic was used for Marvel Studio's version of the X-Men, I'd be a very happy camper

[Jackraow21]

You and me both!

So many people fancast French actors for Gambit, which I think only makes half sense. Gambit is not French and wouldn't have a French accent. I feel like the Cajun accent would be pretty hard for a non-native English speaker. It would make more sense to cast a native English speaker who can speak French. Like a Quebecois actor, or better yet, someone with Cajun roots.

EDIT: Just looked into Gaspard's accent for Hannibal. I didn't watch it, but I guess he was able to attempt an American accent. Kinda like Eva Green!

Today is the 20th anniversary of the first X-men film.

Time flies.

Cool! X moviee saved Marvel comics from bankruptcy and gave a lot of great moments. They were not perfect but I am glad that they happened.
