Is it just me, or is 80% of this cast British? I guess that makes sense with Matthew Vaughn, but it still seems odd to me somehow.

We have a great young generation of actors that are fed work on good stuff and not 90210 and other CW detritus. Of course, with Xavier and Magneto you have to cast British or a good British impersonator considering Sir Ian McKellen and Sir Patrick Stewart are what they grow in to. Perhaps the problem here is that people are too used to all american pretty people casts and don't realise there is a world of talent outside. Fingers crossed for an African Storm.

Who will be Legion?
If they're going back this far in the X-men timeline then Legion HAS to appear in some form, even if they aren't going to pay off his threat until a later movie.

People laugh at me for this, but I love Toad. I really hope he's in the movie. Originally Posted by Tracer Bullet

They got a British dude to play Beast and a Texan to play Banshee Mr. Irish?
Why are they making it difficult on themselves?

Were you at the audition? The Texan kid may have nailed that Irish accent. Originally Posted by Sighphi
