what!? who was cast to play Wonder Man?

Yahya Abdul-Mateen - same guy who is movie Black Manta.

They also cast Grim Reaper and Ben Kingsley was supposed to be in it as Trevor Slattery.

Elsa Bloodstone not having red hair will always feel wrong to me.

What!? How did this not get fast tracked and damn how did I miss this news!?

Wonder man may be scrapped.

Such a bummer. Wonder Man is one of my favorite Avengers of all time and I was hoping he'd get some love.

Plus she has no ponytail.

It doesn't pay to be Simon in the MCU. This isn't even the first time they'd cut him .

Plus she has no ponytail.

That too.

But there's only so much more mileage you can still get out of that cast. Secret Wars will probably be a big swan song (if DP 3 isn't).

You can actually do a lot with that cast. Namely Exiles, X-Force, the Messiah Saga, and Krakoa. Things that can only be done with an older X-team. Ryan Reynolds even hinted that X-Force is still on.

I mean, depending on if they want to carry over that continuity, but I feel like there's more to be gained from rebooting most of it at this point.

I honestly don't see what new ground you could cover with a new version of the X-Men. It would be hard to avoid making it feel like a retread of the prequel movies.

Well, Cyclops getting to be awesome and not overshadowed by Wolverine .

Also you can pull more from the comics with a different vibe than the Fox films.

Elsa Bloodstone not having red hair will always feel wrong to me.

I agree! Having first seen her in Nextwave, she'll always look that way to me. I remember seeing the covers to her original mini-series, long before Nextwave, and she was a blonde Buffy lookalike, and I was like, 'No! Unacceptable!'

Easy, do a different story. They didn't do a story with the Acolytes, and barely used the Brotherhood even. They could do a U-Men story, or X-STatix.

Focus on actual X-Men members. So many were under represented during the Jackman/Lawrence/Magneto/Xavier era. Actual X-Men at the forefront? Yes!
