[Fan-Cast] If Sadie’s Going to be Jean, Who Are the Rest?

It’s seems more and more likely that Sadie Sink is playing Jean Grey (I’m still holding out hope she’s Firestar, Rachel Cole, or a genderbent Mindworm.)

So, I thought: Let’s fan-cast the X-Men (again) around her… My preferred initial X-Men lineup for the MCU would be the Ultimate X-Men roster around the Bendis and Vaughn era of the comic run. (Minus Wolverine and Kitty Pryde…)

The Ultimate X-Men roster I’d follow is: Cyclops, Jean Grey, Beast, Angel, Iceman, Storm, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Rogue and Dazzler. I’d add Siryn too.
(The 2nd film can introduce Kitty, Gambit, and Braddock/Psylocke. The 3rd can introduce Wolverine.)

In the past I’ve said I wanted Siryn instead of the common choices like Kitty and Jubilee, but only if Banshee can be a teacher in the school (played by David Tennant). I think the legacy aspect of their relationship could be mined for the movie. I would round out the school’s faculty with the Deadly Genesis characters.. (That can be a different post.)

In my version, Dazzler is only meant to be introduced as a cameo. Maybe a battle scene takes place during one of her concerts allowing for some light spectacle that outs the pop star as a mutant. She doesn’t have to join the team, but she can have a co ol moment where she helps during the battle. So, Siryn and Dazzler’s roles should be minor in order to explore them further later.

My choices:
Siryn: Millicent Simmonds (A Quiet Place; Pretty Lethal) who was originally my top choice for Jean, but do you understand why a Deaf actress would make sense for Siryn?!
Dazzler: Sabrina Carpenter (The Hate U Give; Work It) People forget she’s also a great actress, and honestly was my initial choice for Jean too, but I think now she’s too big a pop star. Perfect stunt casting!)

Rogue should also be a minor role because I believe she should start out as a villain… and with my idea of having Mystique in the picture, this could contrast Banshee and Siryn perfectly. My choice for her is Inde Navarrete who is making headlines with Obsession. I know her best from Superman and Lois, and she’s an amazing talent.

If you’ve noticed, I believe the cast should be in their early 20s or teens. Which is why my choice for one of the youngest X-Men, Iceman, is Noah Jupe (A Quiet Place; Hamnet) who is honestly one of the best young actors working today.

Beast & Angel are both the easiest and hardest to cast as they are not as specific (personality/ethnicity-wise) as others.

Then there’s Colossus and Nightcrawler who are totally specific: A Russian strong guy with a huge heart and a German funny and religious guy.

Here are my choices:
Beast: Amir Wilson (His Dark Materials; Letters for the King)
Angel: Asher Angel (Shazam!)
Colossus: George Hawkins (Starfleet Academy)
Nightcrawler: Wyatt Oleg (It; I’m Not Okay With This)

Last, but not least… The two most prominent leaders of the X-Men. Cyclops needs to be a stoic leader and Storm should irradiate weather godess.

So I have a few options for each:

Cyclops
Griffin Gluck (Locke & Key; Tall Girl)
Ajay Parikh-Friese (Lost in Space)

Storm
Priah Ferguson (Stranger Things)
Thuso Mbedu (The Woman King)

What do you guys think of my X-Men fan-cast?

Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends

Now that it’s been confirmed that Insomniac’s Wolverine game is in the same universe as Spider-Man’s… could a future game introduce Iceman and Firestar as supporting characters to at least a portion of the story? Mutants should now be fair game, right?
I know Spider-Verse is all the rage and we’re definitely getting Silk next, which probably means Spider-Gwen isn’t too far behind, but I’d like to see these two get a nod as they were “first” in a way.

Yord & Jecki Fan Art

I didn’t make it in time to post this on May the 4th, but I still hope you like it ♥️ (I’m always late to finish art on anniversary days.)

Anyone else miss The Acolyte?? I miss The High Republic so much! I think the look of Yord is on of my favorites. It’s too bad what happened to these characters. Great lightsaber fight tho… May the force be with you all and if you like this please go follow me on IG @Geo_Was_Here_Art
