Call Me By Your Code Name

lol. Magneto really didn't need to leave Xavier crying all alone like that in the end!

[Papa Moai]

He's a perfect Banshee, but no way am I killing him that quickly. He's teaching Gen X in their Disney+ show!

Jamie Dornan is another option though. He's actually Irish too. He's a touch on the young side now, but in the 4-5 years it takes to get these things going, he'll be perfect(I guess after a dyejob).

Jamie Dornan

Prettyboy!

Yeah disappointing that McKidd's Scottish, I just like his look.

It's possible that Banshee survives the Master Mold attack, but I need to see some severe X-Men fall early on. I was going to have him, T-Bird and Sunfire all wink out early in a X-SEALS type mission, which requires the old pros to rally and investigate.

Yeah, McKidd looks awesome, but getting a Scotsman to play an Irish man is just asking for trouble.

I think your alternative imaginings are interesting, but I would use the real canon as a closer guide. If you want to kill some operatives, use characters like Changeling, Mimic, Sway, Petra, Vulcan, Darwin, whatever, characters that don't really have a lot of narrative ties anyways. Banshee in particular is too useful to waste like that.

Banshee in particular is too useful to waste like that.

Is he though? Of Gen X's cast, he's pretty easily replaceable... ideally by Cyclops.

Moira's lover. Siryn's father. Black Tom's rival. Generation X's mentor. Lord of Cassidy Keep? You dare take that away from him? Enough with your revisionism! I can't with you anymore!

[CRaymond]

Moira's lover.

Prof. Xavier.

Siryn's father.

Generation X Season 1 villain, Season 2 main cast.

Generation X's mentor.

Mr. Summers.

You dare take that away from him?

I dare. And much, much more.

Enough with your revisionism!

The world will be made right by my hand. Tremble before my ultimate days of future crisis.

I can't with you anymore!

Karma is Kwannon. Mister Sinister is MOJO. Polaris is Legion. Sunfire is closeted. Forge is Canadian!

[MentalManipulator]

agreed. Timmy as Warren just gave me full-body tingles I think he'd have a great take on the character. equal parts charismatic and broody. I wouldn't even care if he buffs up or not

I hope he doesn't...I don't like that every superhero (or actor for that matter) must be so big...slender guys are way more chic.

Y'all are really making me feel like we do need a black Charles Xavier.

Man, I look at Colin Salman as Professor Xavier and I think, "What if there was never an Amal Farouk, and Professor X *was* the Shadow King (but doesn't consciously know it, and he's also Cassandra Nova, to boot!) and Legion is just following in dad's footsteps, having all those personalities?"

That tightens things up considerably. Add Onslaught.

And here I thought I was being garish months ago:

Xavier is his mother’s surname. Farouk is his father’s.

This thread is all the fun :-D

Longshot:

Ansel Elgort

Ansel Elgort is an amazing choice for Longshot and im kind of obsessed tbh. His endearingly narcissistic social media presence and general kookiness, but not without leading-man machismo...... just slick his hair back a bit and its the same dude. I love it

You're kidding, right? O_o

I've got to admit I've never watch him in a movie, but I'm googling him and the photos give me the chills -_- I know all of this is a matter of personal taste, but for me he's corny as hell. No thanks.

I've often said that my only choice for Longshot is Ewan McGregor. He's got the perfect mix of joy and melancholy (and loads of friendliness).





In a more Silvestri mood, I think Stewart Copeland would be great.

[Ricochet Rita]

Young Julianne Moore as Jean Grey



Young Grace Jones as Storm



Young Michelle Pfeiffer as Emma Frost

Absolutely agree 1000% all of this.
