    I don't think Angel is a good idea (too much like Falcon) and Iceman as a black man is going to make people think Frozone. Maybe that isn't a big deal, but it might be.

    Xavier, Cyclops, Storm, Jean, Nightcrawler, Colossus, Shadowcat is the team I think I'd prefer they start with.
    I'd be down for some Lance Reddick as Professor X. I also think Denzel would kill it, but he is great in just about everything.

    Personally I think there are only a handful of characters that shouldn't change, Superman, Batman, Spiderman, Wolverine, Captain America and maybe the Hulk. To me these characters have all transcended the art form that spawned them and I think even the most basic person would know who these characters are and have an idea of what they look like. I think with characters of this magnitude if you want to do something different than I really like the approach taken by Logan and Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse. Miles definitely held his own and X-23 was a breakout star. Even still I'd go see any movie starring these characters regardless of my personal opinions.

    I said on my news blurb on social media recently I think the "Pryde of the X-men" lineup would be interesting but I'd swap out kitty for Cipher, who has a more interesting power set IMO.

    I'd also like to see Rogue as a villain this time round as a Brotherhood member that eventually switches teams.

    And on the idea of race-bending in the X-verse in the MCU, I personally think it's unecessary... if they want a diverse team, the X-men have enough characters to pick and choose from...

    I remember it having absolutely zero impact on the movie's performance.

    Judging by alot of people's desires for the team roster it'll be worst.

    I see alot of people wanting 5 out of the 7 man roster being race/gender swapped
    The agreement also provides Disney with the opportunity to reunite the X-MEN with the Marvel family under one roof and create richer, more complex worlds of inter-related characters and stories that audiences have shown they love. It only makes sense for Marvel to be supervised by one entity. There shouldn't be two Marvels.

    Not sure who else I’d mess with honestly, as there’s plenty of existing diverse characters to use as well like Storm, Jubilee, Bishop, Thunderbird, Forge, Sunfire, etc. Lots of options when you get to the ANAD squad and beyond.
    Can you race bend someone who will appear as a big blue creature and not get a ton of flak? That was my worry with Beast.

    A Hispanic Iceman might be a good idea.

    don't race bend just to race bend. Use the BEST ACTOR regardless of race. Sweet mercy.

    I would assume they'd implement Hulk transformations or Vision illusions for the more monstrous X-Men. They did it with Hoult, and it worked fine. Nightcrawler having a mutation to change his appearance like his mom wouldn't rattle the cage too much... I'd just pair it with a limitation that he can't teleport unless he's in demon-form.

    I'd want a WASPy-as-hell, conservative, and repressed family of Drakes. Maliciously Pleasantville, with emotionally abusive parenting. It's why I picked Evan Hansen's Ben Platt. He looks friendly, acts goofy, but seems kind of beat up.

    2 more days until Disney's acquisition of Fox is officially official my X-friends!

    I know it'll be only be after Far from Home hits that we will get any info on what the MCU X-slate might look like (perhaps even a placeholder date for the first movie?), but I for one will be happy to at least breathe a sigh of relief and bid adieu to "the CompleX" forever!

    Racebending tends to be at least somewhat controversial and as it’s been pointed out by others the X-men already have quite a lot of characters of colors, they just haven’t been used enough. If there is racebending, I think it will only be done very minimally, like say a couple obscure white and probably male characters will be racenbent into people of color and that’s it.
