I'm gonna go with some different choices here (& keep in mind since most of these roles are cameos the movie doensn't make or break on their performance)

Emma Frost --- Mellisa George (Alias & Amityville Horror)

Lonshot --- Josh Holloway (Lost)

Havok --- Paul Walker (Fast & the Furious)

Polairs --- Mia Kirshner (24 & Not Another Teen Movie)

For Quicksilver & Scarlet Witch I'd pick

Megan Fox (Hope & Faith ... yes i know it's a shitty tv show) & Ian Somerhalder (Rules of Attraction)

Rhys Meyers is soooooo Chamber you guys don't even know it!!:p

Seriously, watch him in these movies : Octane, Alexander and Tesseract. And you'll see what I'm saying. Dress him up in Chamber's clothes and it's just perfect.

He can really pull off Jono's UK verbage and rage-against-the-world mood.:)

Brendan Gleeson has always SCREAMED Banshee to me.

http://www.celebrity-pictures-world.com/pics/b/brendan-gleeson/brendan-gleeson-008.jpg


You've seen him in such films as......

Braveheart (Amish), Lake Placid (Sheriff Hank), MI2 (John McCloy), 28 Days Later (Frank the former Policeman), Cold Mountain (Stobrod Thewes), The Village (August Nicholson), Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Prof.Moody), etc.

BUT the movie which seels the deal for the role of Banshee is Gleeson's role as 'Monk' McGinn in Gangs of New York. 110% Irish badass. I still long to own a shillelagh of that caliber.

Sure he's a bit older, but he can play a similar role as Beast in this film. Course he supposed to be older when he entered the fray, and then became the "moulder of future mutant generations".

Takeshi Kaneshiro -- Shiro Yoshida [Sunfire]
Emmanuelle Vaugier -- Wicked

Because he is dating the girl who played his sister on lost. HA

I know Bernal so looks like Rictor in my avatar!....I'm having fun with this...I'm going to try and cast X-Factor! Help me Faded!!:)

Melissa George is okay but I still think there could be someone else...granted Sharon Stone is a little older but looks great and Emma is in the same boat. Stone can also be cold and that suits Emma but if we wanted to do a younger Emma I'm sure there's a better actress.

Hmmmmmm i love some of the suggestions you peeps have made, i really like the following:-

Gael Garcia Bernal as Rictor
Dakota Fanning as Layla Miller or a young Illyana Rasputin
Jonothan Rhys Meyers as Chamber (i also quite like the idea of him as Pete Wisdom)
Paul Bettany as a youg Banshee

And i like to suggest:-

Josh Holloway as Gambit
Charlize Theron as Emma Frost

As for David Tennant he'll be brilliant as anyone. Have any of you peeps seen him in Dr Who?

Sharon Stone is too old to play Emma. However Megan Dodd--who was on MI-5 for a short time. Would fit her to the T. Her ruthlessness is under the surface just like Emma. I almost had a heart attack watching her.

05-23-2006, 12:13 PM
Mmm, Sean Bean would be a nice Banshee.

I've always favoured Laura Harris as Emma:

[/url]http://www.seriesplus.com/emission/lavie_apreslavie/_img/personnage/lavie_daisy.jpg[/url]

She was Daisy Adair in Dead Like Me. While she was a little more flouncy in that than I'd expect Emma to be, she has that...frosty coloring that's just so chilly.

Or Nicole Kidman. I don't know why, but I always figured she'd be intresting in the role...



And of course, if it could be recasted, Gina Torres as Storm. Power and beauty, with the ability to actually act in something like a superhero movie.

I love this thread by the way! I've been very pleased with everyone's picks! Now here's some of mine:

(My Beloved)Havok: played by Jacob Young, from "All My Children" and" General Hospital". He is so cute, a great actor and looks great shirtless!!
http://www.cbsnews.com/images/2006/03/17/imageNYET15603171856.jpg

Polaris: played by Sarah Michelle Gellar, from "Buffy" fame. I think she could be a loving, yet fiesty, takes-no-bullshit, firecracker that is Lorna Dane.
http://www.tvstars.com.ar/s/sarah_michelle_gellar/sarah_michelle_gellar.jpg

Iceman: played by Chris Evans, from "Not Another Teen Movie" and "The Fantastic Four." He was a great Johnny Storm, so it would be a synch to play the easy-going, wise-cracking Bobby. Plus, this picture I found is like a sign.
http://eur.yimg.com/i/xp/premier_photo/3/3a245a6cad.jpg

Dazzler: played by Scarlett Johansson, from "Match Point" and "Lost in Translation." She's so beautiful, and I think she could bring a lot to table portraying Ali.
http://www.celebrities.pl/scarlett_johansson/scarlett3.jpg

Okay, this list took me like forever to assemble, so I will have to ponder more possibilites for other characters later. Let me know what you think of my choices so far though!

I think the real question is do you want a mature beefcake playing cannonball whens always shown as fairly gawky..

With Iceman i think it worked because we're always shown him as the childish one...so it was cool that he was a teenager.

Chad Michael Murray = Longshot. He's got the face and the lean build for the character.
Christian Kane = Gambit.
Amber Benson = Polaris.

Sure, but Bobby doesn't show any sense of humor or really any iceman-like personality traits. Not that I'm complainin', I'm just sayin'.
Sam sure didn't look gawky when he fought Gladiator.
And I think it would be cool to have an older, charming ladies' man guy who's ass explodes as a superpower.

i think comedy is unfairly looked at by the Oscars. Comedy is much harder than drama.

Horror is another genre that is overlooked. Sigourney Weaver getting nominated for Aliens was such a fluke but she deserved it. Great role for her.

James Marsters from Quicksilver! Harsh face, handsome like Magneto.

Dude, that's perfect!


Ian Somehalder as Quicksilver
He's more Northstar to me.

adding to this thread, ive always though Ali Larter would be an amazing Polaris

Totally agree with this, she'd do pissed off Lorna very well.

Not quite sure about the others but I'd always thought about Dominic Monaghan as Quicksilver since he reminds me of the cover to Son Of M issue 1

Banshee -- Laurence Kinlan
Probably too young physically to be Banshee, but he looks quite old and is Irish and handsome, thus I think he'd be a fitting Banshee.

Emma Frost -- Laura Harris
Again, probably pretty young than people would expect Emma to be, but I think she'd bring a classical beauty to the character rather than just a sleazy blonde bitch with huge juggs.

Frenzy -- Gina Torres
One of my favorite actresses of all time, I think Gina Torres is stunningly beautiful and would do Frenzy so much justice. She might not be as muscular as you'd think Frenzy should be, but I don't think a Grace Jones-type character would translate well onto film. Besides, it'd be funny to see a smaller girl such as Torres have super-strength and durability.

After watching the first few minutes of The Ring with Naomi Watts being a bitch on her cell phone, I decided that I found her worthy of the almighty Emma position:

And maybe for Wanda, the ultimate beauty, Kate Beckinsale:

Mmm, Sean Bean would be a nice Banshee.

I've always favoured Laura Harris as Emma:

She was Daisy Adair in Dead Like Me. While she was a little more flouncy in that than I'd expect Emma to be, she has that...frosty coloring that's just so chilly.

in the tv thread i said the same thing. Laura Harris would rock as Emma

Sharon Stone as Emma is just gross guys

OMG I had no idea someone mentioned her already in this thread, but I remember you saying something about her as Emma and it just CLICKED. It's perfect.

And LOL @ Sharon Stone.

Scarlett's much too classy to play Husk.

I do think that Brian Geraghty guy would make a good Cannonball though.

Nah, way too young.

LOL, Sam is one of my favorites, so I'm kinda picky. I still haven't figured out who'd best play Rogue, can you believe that??

Sorry, I really, really hate him. Stupid Oliver kid from OC, right?

If we're casting people from Texas Chainsaw Massacre, I'd prefer Mike Vogel as Sam than this dude.
