Trenta sized thirst

I actually think Johnathon Groff fits more for an adult Iceman

I am now officially head-canoning Justin from 13 Reasons Why (Brandon Flynn) as NuBobby. He's one of those stock 25-year-old TV teenagers, but he can actually act, is gay IRL (if they want to go there) and, well, look at the guy.

Also, the hair color looks like Bobby, sandy/ashy blond, so I'd be down with it. ...

... (Still keeping 13 Reasons Why Guy at the top of the list, though, :P)

YES! Like minds!!

YES! Like minds!!

LOL, that pic is everything <3

The only downside to this (rather thirsty) conversation is that I'm now getting excited for MCU X-Men, and who know when that's crystallizing. *hurt itself in anticipation*

I like Groff, and he would have been perfect for the original film back in 2000, but imo he's too old now. I would want MCU Iceman to be about the same age as Spider Man, so they should cast an actor closer to Tom Holland's age. Flynn might work.

He would have been 14 years old in 1999 when the film was shooting. That's a bit too young for a Bobby who was technically set up to be Rogue's love interest.

By the time the X-Men make it to the MCU, Tom Holland would probably be in his mid-late 20's (and Peter would be going to college I think). Flynn would be pushing 30, which would be Adult Bobby aged.

I'm really torn about what take I want the MCU to go with the X-Men, although the origin story seems like a cop-out after the First Class trilogy. My issue lies specifically on "Are the O5 (+ the ANAD Claremont additions, perhaps) teens in the same age range as MCU Spidey, or older?" If they go young, Flynn might work for about one movie. But Feige casting is one of the finest points of the MCU (although they need to put out a trailer where Brie Larson emotes), so I remain hopeful.

[Strong Girl Daken]

Adam Rippon should play Iceman

[WhiteQueenEmmaFrost]

Bobby is not that flaming and his hairline is not receding unlike Ms. Rippon's.

Won't be too long and he'll be wearing them wigs like Johnny Weir.

[Strong Girl Daken]

shady lady.

Adam in his red Olympics outfit is peak Bobby Drake to me.

[WhiteQueenEmmaFrost]

Gussy is closer to Iceman. He's flirty and funny and sweet.

[Strong Girl Daken]

Gus is the masc4masc version of Bobby that he's slowly growing out of.

[Strong Girl Daken]

I envision one of those panels where it's the same shot, but multiple men/mutants leaving Bobby's apartment in his exploration of his new found self. LOL
