MCU X-Men Fan-cast
Prospective cast for a possible post-Secret Wars 2028/2029 X-Men saga, including some rumoured castings. Cast for the original members should be able to play around 30-35 yrs old by time of filming. Actors for Magneto and Xavier should be in their early to mid fifties. Other team members have some more leeway in terms of age range but with the knowledge that they will likely be playing these roles for 10+ years…
This is assuming the film will go the Fantastic Four route and pluck the X-Men full-formed from another universe (except set in the mid-80s and not the 60s). This would solve most of their issues regarding age and origins etc…
I’ve tried to be authentic with my castings but I’ve thrown a few wild cards in there too
