Shit. I need to start writing all of these down in one place. Y’know, since it’ll literally never be relevant but since when has that mattered to me.
Kalen’s Ideal X-Film Casting (no it does not matter that this is too many characters to fit in a single film USE YOUR IMAGINATION gdi)
and in no particular order other than Iceman first because that one is very important to me look it just is:
Iceman - Manny Jacinto
The Frost Siblings, Adrienne, Emma, Christian and Cordelia - Ming Na Wen, Lucy Liu, Godfrey Gao and Elodie Yung (who here is their half sibling, with a Cambodian mother and the same father as the others)
Dazzler - Janelle Monae
Richter (I know its actually Rictor, but that’s been bugging me for decades, I say we ignore canon and go with the idea his codename makes more sense as his last name and his last name’s spelling makes more sense for his code name) - Michael Trevino
Cyclops - Chris Pine
Jean Grey - Nicole Beharie, because I have to fancast her somewhere in every fancast I do as Justice for Sleepy Hollow, its the Law, but also I just really think she has that “I am the caring headmistress that all students should feel comfortable coming to with their problems, but also sometimes I devour suns and destroy solar systems, nbd” energy. Also also, casting her as Jean ALSO means potentially casting her as Maddy Pryor and Nicole!Jean vs Nicole!Maddy? COULD YOU IMAGINE?
Also, I am a shallow, greedy bisexual, and the second I pictured Chris Pine and Nicole Beharie together my brain exploded and I am typing the rest of this from The Other Side, Adele says to say hello.
Havok - Dead and irrelevant
Cece Reyes - Rosario Dawson (there definitely need to be a wider pool of Afro-latinx actors drawn from for fancastings, but she’s freaking perfect for Cece and this is the role that Claire Temple should have been anyway IMO)
Gambit - Gaspard Ulliel
Rogue - Angelica Ross (credit to @gingerjab for this one, I’m STUCK on it now and its all his fault, ugh he’s so problematic)
Monet (and she needs her full name dropped at least once, obvsly: Monet Yvette Clarisse Maria Therese St. Croix) - Anna Diop
Destiny - Jane Fonda
Cannonball - Ryan Kwanten
Quicksilver - Jesus Castro
Neal Shaara - Karan Tacker
Dani Moonstar - Julia Jones
Banshee - Ewan McGregor (I’m aware he’s Scottish and casting him as an Irish character is a crime but I’m Irish and thus I’m allowed to say its okay I’m pretty sure it says that in the Bible so shh)
Tom Cassidy - David Giuntoli
Ink Leon Nunez aka the actual mutant responsible for Ink The Fraud’s powers in canon, and who deserves the focus canon has actually given that loser skinhead in his place, Redemption For Leon Nunez - Diego Tinoco (also I just really like him in OMB and wanted to cast him as someone and I couldn’t decide between Velocidad or Hellion and then I thought of this guy instead)
Colossus - Danila Kozlovsky
Magik - I gotta come back to her because I actually have like, three different ones depending on which age ‘Yana you go with but I can only find two of them and I can’t do an Incomplete, wtf
Longshot - Daniel Henney
Blink - Dominique Tipper because it just works but also she’s of Dominican descent and Clarice Ferguson was originally black and from the Caribbean, with all due respect to Fan Bingbing and Jamie Chung who likely had no idea given most comic book fans don’t even know.
Captain Britain - Trevor Donovan. Look, he’s big, buff and goofy and really what more do you need when casting Brian Braddock? Those are the three essentials, don’t overthink him. Also, Trevor Donovan attempting a British accent through several movies sounds HILARIOUS to me and worth the price of admission alone, and after so many British actors attempting American accents with varying degrees of success in superhero films, turnabout is fair play.
Northstar - Zachary Quinto cuz he’s gay and his years playing Spock can be deemed prep work for playing Jean-Paul’s arrogance
There’s like thirty more because that’s how many X-Men there are and that’s not even getting to the students, but I gotta stop now because Adult Responsibilities and also I can’t find the one I came up with for Lila Cheney and its BUGGING ME cuz it was perfect and I have to find it before I can keep going.

finally read new mutants: dead souls #1. as..... a lifelong fanboy........ i’m so sad :\
rictor is... very whitewashed (tho i think he’s modeled after daniel zovatto who is my fancast, but he looks sickly pale in the colouring). shan’s prosthetic appears to have vanished. nobody is mentioning that guido literally killed rahne’s kid the last time they hung out???
marvel comics: what is continuity?

I saw someone suggest Diego Boneta for a Fabian fancast and I was kinda like “huh” cuz I don’t see it...
...then I saw they also suggested him for Empath, Rictor, Sunspot, and Velocidad. So basically every Hispanic male character despite all of them looking very different and coming from different parts of the Spanish-speaking diaspora.
Ok then :/
