Anya Taylor-Joy seems perfectly cast as Magik. They definitely nailed the appearance of the character, but I have doubts that they will do her character justice.
A blonde wig with bangs, does not Illyana make. This cast is already too old for these characters. Illyana was like 14 during most of these New Mutants stories.
Let the flames destroy all but that which is pure and true!
I still think Anya looks good and my expectations for the movie is low enough already.
Who says she has a Roberto romance? That's news to me.
I don't know what the people who wrote this film thought they were doing. I'm prepared to just ignore this film and if Hollywood doesn't implode in the next little bit, I'll be looking forward to the MCU's mutants being built up from the ground up.

Yes, not every single Black person in that time was a slave but that doesnt change that if they want back south they would have been enslaved. Black people in the north escaped slavery or were freed by former slave owners. Thatt doesnt change the fact that during that time Black people were enslaved in the US and they were born into slavery in the US or that they were only seen as 3/5 of a person.
Theron calls herself African. She has never called herself black. if she is cast as white storm, don't be surprised if some turn out to like it for superficial arguments.
Don't hold your breath for MCU or Disney, their new build up with Spiderman or Force Star Wars were far from great. MCU has not shown they have the smartness to take on Mutants because none of their movies have any strong science fiction backdrop. the build up of mutants will never again surpass Xavier thesis in First Class. its the best we are ever going to get.
In this boiling climate of diversity, I think the suppose LGBT romance will get more attention. I heard the movie is less than 2 hours, so how much time can be put in a romance? not much
