Young Kim Richards as Magik
Shane Gilberto Jenek/Courtney Act as St. John Allerdyce/Pyro
ooh that's spicy. I feel like he'd bring the right amount of fun to the table. and he's Australian and looks a lot like the character....how did I never realize this?
Recently I'd been talking about casting Rick Cosnett as Pyro, but as he had JUST come out, I wasn't sure he'd be comfortable hamming it up as villain. I was imagining Pyro & Avalanche as the Black Mask & Zsasz of the mutant world, with Pyro specifically having a madcap flair that's equal parts Pulp Fiction and Priscilla Queen of the Desert. Jenek might not be right either, but I want Mystique's Brotherhood to FEEL like a legendary house from Pose.
that's the definitive brotherhood vibe. I would adore that kind of dynamic from Pyro and Avalanche, and if anything Birds of Prey taught me that unexpected actors can play it incredibly well - never would have chosen McGregor and Messina myself but oh man did they make it work
Kitty Pryde should be played by the equally annoying Lea Michele
Still feel like Jacob Elordi will be thr perfect Scott in a few years. He looks just like Francis' Scott and is already such a great actor that would be able to play Cyclops character arc perfectly.

eva green would have slapped as Betsy Braddock!
I think Lily James would make a good Dazzler. We know she can sing and dance already. Halston Sage was good in the role but I think she’d suit Husk or Wallflower better.
