Emma Frost/Julie Benz |
|
In my own humble opinion, I've impressed the living "poop" out of myself with this casting choice. If you don't remember Julie Benz as the soft-voiced Darla on Angel, you can catch her on SHOWTIME's Dexter playing his girlfriend. Hollywood can search far and wide but Julie Benz is the only actress with the looks, the voice, and the acting chops to pull off a powerhouse like Emma Frost.

Havok/Travis Fimmel |
|
This was an obvious choice. I mean you think of Havok, what comes to mind? Blonde, Kick-Ass and under the shadow of his older brother, Cyclops. If I were him and was feeling less than Cyke, all I'd have to do is look in the mirror. Travis can do this.   |

Polaris/Keri Lynn Pratt |
|
I love the idea of a Polaris played by Keri Lynn Pratt. I see |Lorna Dane as a San Francisco Vegan Liberal with green streaks in her blonde hair. After all, she's spent years as an archeologist or was Havok the archeologist and she the anthropologist?. I must've been reading comics that day of science class in junior high. Keri Lynn Pratt has played a psycho obsessed with (of all people) Jennifer Beals in VH1's Slowburn. She's played a teenager who kills her own unborn baby in Law and Order, and a teen who just lost a buttload of weight in Drive Me Crazy with Adrian Grenier. She definitely has the chops to pull of Magneto's daughter in a non-obvious but certainly riveting way.   |

Gambit/Josh Holloway |
|
Josh, we know you've turned down the role of Gambit in X3 and that it eventually was supposed to go to Channing Tatum of Step Up fame, but come on studio guys! PAY THE MAN A LOT OF MONEY. If he thinks it's too much like his character on LOST, a few million should do the trick. No one else can pull this off like he can. It's too perfect. I mean...HELLO! And Josh you should know you'd make a lot of lives worth living should you accept the role. Do it for humanity,   |

Magik/Azura Skye |
|
Very rarely do I have moments of brilliance, in fact, this may be the first one. Azura Skye of Buffy, the Vampire Slayer Season Seven in the episode entitled "Conversations with Dead People" was a beautiful and heartbreaking performance that left many Buffy fans with un-dry eyes. She has the perfect combination of darkness, cuteness, intelligence and vulnerability Illyana Rasputin would need to possess in order to convince us comic lovers that she's really been brought alive to the big screen. She's currently starring in One Missed Call out in theatres in January '08. She's certainly one to watch.   |

Cannonball/Josh Henderson |
|
We forgive you for dating Paris Hilton and for getting Marcia Cross's daughter on Desperate Housewives pregnant. Something I won't forget or forgive Josh Henderson for is his performance in FX's Over There, a drama about the war in Iraq where Josh played a Vet who's lost his leg in an insurgent attack in the pilot episode of the show. Josh had all the emotional stuff going on, and apprently in Step Up, Ladies Loved Josh Henderson.  |

Warpath/Rudy Youngblood |
|
Rudy Youngblood of Mel Gibson's alarmingly offensive and historically inaccurate Apocalypto may seem like an obvious choice because he could pass for a Native American Apache (like Americans know what an Apache looks like when we can't find our own country on a map). Despite Mel Gibson's attempt at connecting with people other than himself, Rudy Youngblood did an amazing job in the movie. He has the talent to bring James Proudstar's anger at the loss of his brother to live other actors of this look would not be able to do. |James Proudstar started off as the pupil of the White Queen who yearned for vengeance against Professor X for the death of his brother. James certainly is no softy. Give Rudy Youngblood a few months to pack on some muscle mass and I believe we have our Warpath.   |
|
Apocalypse/Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje |
|
Adewale of Lost, Oz, and the Mummy Returns fame would be an excellent choice for Apocalypse. Not only does he have the muscles but the guy is one of the most kick-ass actors to grace television sets at this moment. If anyone can play an Ancient Egyptian Meglomaniac Mutant hell bent on Darwinism - Adewale can.   |
|
Sinister/Arnold Voslo |
|
Also of Mummy and the Mummy Returns Fame, Arnold with some white face point and a red dot would be an awesome Sinister. He's already proven on FOX's 24 he's scary as all hell. You know what? He's such a good actor he could pull anything off. Still he's my first choice to scare me as Sinister   |
|
Amelia Voght/Lindsay Duncan |
|
Lindsay Duncan is honestly one of my favorite actors of all time. Her portrayal of Servilla of the Junii in HBO's Rome was some of the best acting I've ever seen in television...ever. Lindsay has also appeared in BBC's Spooks, HBO's Longford, and Under the Tuscan Sun with Diane Lane. Lindsay is such a great actress I'd cast her to play every single role in the film! I just can't say enough great stuff about her. Seeing her play opposite Patrick Stewart's Professor Xavier as his scorned ex-lover would be a dream come true for her fans and fans of the X-Men franchise.   |
|
Quicksilver/Ben Price |
|
Ben Price is best known for his portrayal as a sexually confused and much sought after british soccer player in BBC's Footballer's Wive$. This British Actor isn't too well known in the States but his talent keeps him a hot commodity across the pond in the U.K. Not only can he pull of being Magneto's son but there's that incestuous relationship with his twin-sister Wanda.   |
|
Scarlet Witch/Indira Varma |
|
Another alumni of HBO's Rome, Indira Varma has both the girl power to play a Scarlet Witch|Wanda Maximoff completely in control and in charge of her life and powers, and the vulnerability to pull off the Wanda plagued by her forgotten childhood and guilt from the accidental murders of her Avengers teammates just prior to House of M. This British Beauty, who is also half Indian, would be the perfect choice to play either Scarlet Witch the makers of X-Men 4 desire.   |
|
X-23/Nikki Reed |
|
Not only does she bare an uncanny resemblence to Hugh Jackman (she could totally be his sister), Nikki Reed has the intelligence and the talent to bring one of the most well writen X-Heroine's to life. Hell, she scared the &@$% out of me in Thirteen as Evan Rachel Wood's very troubled BFF, but she's also got that sweet side she displayed on The O.C. as Ryan's post Marissa girlfriend. Note to the producers of X4; she could be very cost effective. I think she might already have the claws.   |
|
Cassandra Nova/Helen Mirren |
|
Who else is beautiful enough to go bald AND hold her own against Patrick Stewart? How about the only actress capable of bringing to life Queen Elizabeth the First and Queen Elizabeth the Second in the same friggin' year! Helen Mirren needs no introduction nor explanation as to why she'd be the perfect choice to bring to life the greatest X-Villain of the 2000's. She's Helen Mirren. Amazing and uncanny is what she does best.   |
|
Bishop/Matthew St. Patrick |
|
| Bishop has been taken in a lot of new directions and has been wearing many hats lately; murderer, savior, victim, betrayer, etc. Character with that sort of depth can only be portrayed by a great artist. Matthew St. Patrick plays Blade on the small screen version of the Marvel Comics character which proves with out a doubt he's bad-ass. He also showed great sensitivity and range playing a conflicted homosexual cop in Six Feet Under. Combine these ingredients from his past roles plus the trauma Lucas Bishop endured in the mutant detention centers of the future and you've got one very promising role with one very promising actor to play it.
|
Lilandra Neramani/Sigourney Weaver |
|
The space opera of the original Dark Phoenix Saga of the Uncanny X-Men may prove to be too much to contain properly in one movie. In Ultimate X-Men, the Shi'ar Galaxy and Empress Lilandra Neramani are reinvented as the Church of the Shi'ar Enlightenment with Majestrix Neramani heading the congregation. It's parallells to modern day Scientology are brilliant as well as the re-telling of the Phoenix as a mythical creature forged in the creation of our universe and trapped within earth only to be born again in a mutant, Jean Grey. Lilandra Neramani makes an excellent debut as the flirtatious and sexy investor in the Xavier Institute of the Ultimate Marvel Universe.
