Why you gotta be so cynical, not all actors are just in it for the work and money y'know.
Or at least, that's what I'd like to believe.
Tvisgood2025-10-14 22:28
Just trying to have fun friend… I see these types of posts every day and just thought it would be funny if I said it. Continue enjoying life and being positive.
SorryRoof16532025-10-14 22:30
Ah I see, sorry for the rude comment lol.
Honestly I'm really struggling to be positive these days so I was probably projecting.
Either way, sorry again.

JaesopPop2025-10-14 22:15
I can see it
Bruhmangoddman2025-10-14 22:15
After Matrix, I'd say he'd be the right man for the job. Morpheus may not have the exact personality of Charles, but their demeanor is alike. Fishburne could do it.
joeyblove2025-10-14 22:31
Charles is skinny though
Bannedwith1milKarma2025-10-14 22:51
I just watcher Nightmare on Elm Street 3 and recognized 'Larry' Fishburne.
He was the right man for the job even then, got that swagger for sure.
nicolauz2025-10-14 23:54
He was like 18 in Apocalypse Now.
rage-quit2025-10-15 00:28
Dude, he was 14 when he started filming that movie. Full blown lied about his age and everything. Didn't end up releasing until he was 18 I think though. That's how batshit the production for Apocalypse was.
nicolauz2025-10-15 00:31
Oh wow I didn't even think about filming hah that's crazy as hell. They filmed out in the jungle too right?
Boring_Comfortable702025-10-15 04:36
Check out Hearts of Darkness, the BTS doc about the movie, it’s almost as good as the movie itself.

MikeFatz2025-10-14 23:35
lol imagine it’s your first day as a little kid at Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters and the Dean of the school is offering you some pills out of his hand in the office.
IronSavage32025-10-15 02:27
His aloofness and the sense that he always knew something the audience and protagonists didn’t were top tier
pepeizq2025-10-14 22:16
SgtRufus2025-10-14 22:17
Absolutely.
Seroko2025-10-14 22:17
That be fucking legendary. But the amount of stupid people complaining about "woke stuff" would be ridiculous.
Ubergoober1662025-10-14 22:28
Fuck em
CelticSith2025-10-14 22:29
People will whine and complain regardless, I say give it to Fishburne
SeegullJockey2025-10-14 22:29
He's already in the mcu lol
GingerWez932025-10-14 22:36
That's fine. Multiple actors have already played different characters in the MCU.
Yusuf98672025-10-14 22:45
But often times, they played different characters across universes and not just of one universe. Take Chris Evans and Aaron Taylor-Johnson for example.
Youngling_Hunt2025-10-14 22:29
I loved Jeffrey Wright as commissioner Gordan in The Batman and I dont remember people complaining, but honestly if they did fuck them
srstone712025-10-14 22:30
Woke stuff in X-Men? Well now I've seen everything.
mt802025-10-14 22:43
Such an underrated comment
Lazy_Osprey2025-10-15 03:07
I liked Rage Against the Machine before they got political….
AlphaFlight-2025-10-14 22:33
Professor X’s race does not matter. Magneto’s absolutely does.
ILeftMyBurnerOn2025-10-14 22:43
You may think that but Charles is the epitome of white privilege. I think it matters he stay white.
TheAsian1nvasion2025-10-14 22:53
This is a fair point but I think that characterization only applies once you’re pretty far down the road in the project.
Day 1 Charles is a respected, benevolent authority figure. It wouldn’t be until 2035 (at least) that you would get to Xavier Protocols/Deadly Genesis/Danger/Messiah CompleX.
ILeftMyBurnerOn2025-10-14 23:03
If you’re speaking just from the comics side, he may have been “respected” but he was a dick from day 1. He’s constantly abusing his powers and telling his team he’s only doing it cause he has to, is a wealthy white man who says “ya know what, I’m gonna start a child army”, and creeps on his underage student. Dude is basically a Duke University alum who’s bald.
Poked_salad2025-10-14 22:54
Yeah magneto and Charles should stay the same.
Charles is the ultimate white privilege.
This is the one thing Magnus has always told Xavier about that he does not understand about mutants. He is a very rich, white man and he never grew up with what Magnus, people of color or mutants that can never hide their mutation went through.
ILeftMyBurnerOn2025-10-14 23:04
Yup. And Charles always takes the easy way out. Max makes the hard choices.
CaptainAaron962025-10-14 23:16
You nailed it. The whole point of Charles is to have him be privileged in every single way but STILL be discriminated against for being a mutant and STILL use his education and assets to help other underserved mutants. It would be just as much a character assassination to have a non-white Charles as it would be to replace Magneto’s past in the Holocaust with a “more recent” genocide.
rexepic75672025-10-14 22:38
Look up the word woke in a dictionary
It's a picture of the x-men
The x-men have always been woke and that's a good thing
Vandersveldt2025-10-14 22:44
Would be a little weird. Were him or his sister adopted then?
TenPointsforListenin2025-10-14 22:18
Sure. He’s been good for the role since the 90’s
Keikobad2025-10-14 22:20
Someone, somewhere: I wonder if Pedro Pascal is too old to play the first MCU version of this foundational Marvel character.
Laurence Fishburne: Hold my beer.
JoMa42025-10-14 22:21
Alternate Title: Laurence Fishburne wants money.
iiJashin2025-10-14 22:21
That sounds - eXcellent
FightTheDead1182025-10-14 22:23
Xavier is not and never has been British in the comics, that only came about with Patrick Stewart
BarcelonetaE702025-10-14 22:21
I could see it. I am sure he would kill in this role.
bookon2025-10-14 22:22
This would have been great casting a decade ago.
jpiro2025-10-14 22:22
He could 100% do it and do it well. Whether he should really depends on what age they want Xavier to be at this point and how long they hope to keep the next actor in the role. Fishburn is already 64.
Syndana232025-10-14 22:34
To be fair, Patrick Stewart was like 60 when the first x men movie came out
robbviously2025-10-14 23:05
He was 59 when they wrapped filming
4electricnomad2025-10-14 23:38
But when Stewart was cast you didn’t have the expectation of infinite sequels inside an interconnected MCU. It would surprise me if they rebooted with someone as old as Stewart was when he took the role.
Syndana232025-10-14 23:39
You didn’t, but they still kept casting him well into his 70s/80s even when they didn’t have to (MCU)
Not that I disagree with you but I wouldn’t be shocked if the next Xavier is still significantly older than the rest of the cast
occamsshavingkit2025-10-14 22:22
Lance Reddick would have been amazing as Xavier.
TheeDeputy2025-10-14 22:30
Ah man…. He really would have. Fuck. 😣
MyBatmanUnderoos2025-10-14 22:39
I wanted him to be Martian Manhunter for DC so bad.
CosmackMagus2025-10-14 22:30
I really wanted to see him play Robocop, too.
Puppetmaster8582025-10-14 22:30
Fuck man he would’ve crushed that shit, Lance Reddick was the fuckin man. RIP that death hit me real hard
FidgitForgotHisL-P2025-10-14 23:35
It was so out of the blue too! I was watching some daft Resident Evil tv show only because he was in it when I heard the news, kinda sucked because he was literally the only good thing in that show, and knowing he was dead before I finished it sucked any remaining enjoyment out of the air.
jwismer2025-10-15 02:57
I was very sick with covid when that show came out, so I watched it since I like him. He was good, but that show was the worst thing to happen to me that week
Whiteshadows862025-10-14 23:36
Another role he would have crushed - He was supposed to be Mr Door in Alan Wake 2 as well, after playing Martin Hatch in Quantum Break (another Remedy Game)
David Harewood did a damn good job though 👍
Meatwad5552025-10-15 00:29
He’s amazing in the Horizon games as Sylens as well
icouldntdecide2025-10-15 02:32
He's a perfect mysterious dick in those games lol
jrod42902025-10-15 00:42
think James Gunn also said he wrote the character Murn in Peacemaker S1 with Lance Reddick in mind.
lanceturley2025-10-15 03:20
David Harewood is great as Mr. Door, but I feel robbed that we don't get to see Lance Reddick sing and dance in the big musical number.
RegrettableDeed2025-10-14 23:41
I watched Ballerina recently and just about sobbed when he was on screen. I didnt think they had filmed his scenes before he passed. That and, being a BIG Destiny 2 fan at the time it was hard to have lost our dear commander Zavala.
SeekerVash2025-10-15 00:42
The most recent season of Vox Machina was a bit hard too.
DrewZouk2025-10-15 00:59
Hail the Cinder King.
GhostTheSaint2025-10-15 01:02
I’m remember the Destiny 2 tower being filled with people paying their respects to Commander Zavala (Lance’s character in the game for those who do not play Destiny)
RegrettableDeed2025-10-15 01:44
It was beautiful. I was happy to have been a part of it.
AdolescentThug2025-10-15 06:38
I hadn’t played Destiny 2 in YEARS. Hell I’m a full PC gamer since 2020 and the last time I played was on my PS4 in maybe 2018. When Reddick died I installed the game on my PC, logged into my old account, and paid my respects with the rest of my friends and the lobby I was in.
Dude was an absolute legendary actor for a lot of us. RIP Lance.
StirringPersuasion2025-10-15 01:32
Whether we wanted it or not...
Ponky6162025-10-15 00:06
HE’S DEAD????? I just started watching Fringe for the first time and I love Broyles even though he started off on the wrong foot. 😭
Puppetmaster8582025-10-15 00:32
Yup:/, man was in incredible shape for his age and still died from a heart attack out of nowhere, legit in better shape than like 99% of people his age. Guy was amazing in everything whether drama or comedy or video games
Cash_Cab2025-10-15 00:34
He’s genuinely the only celeb I miss like family dude. I get choked up thinking about it still
Ubergoober1662025-10-14 22:32
I was hoping Xavier was who Giancarlo Esposito was playing before they announced it wasn't
occamsshavingkit2025-10-14 22:36
He would have crushed it. Or Magneto.
Ubergoober1662025-10-14 22:45
Yea, I would have loved to see him play a kind-hearted good guy for a change. He's pretty much always type cast as the bad guy since Breaking Bad.
Sparrowsabre72025-10-14 22:53
Yeah didn't he suggest it too? Because rumours/fantastic swirling around Magneto and someone asked him and he said "What about Xavier?" I think he wants to stretch himself as an actor and play something different to his usual.
KnowL0ve2025-10-14 23:22
He was a good guy in the Maze Runner series. He started off as an asshole though.
Duzcek2025-10-14 22:37
Ah shit man, I forgot about that one. Honestly remembering that Lance is gone kinda crushed my mood for the day.

Rip Commander Zavala 😮💨
Corgi_Koala2025-10-14 22:50
Lance Reddick would be amazing for any role. That dude was fucking awesome. Very sad when he passed.
It wasn't super mainstream, but his role as the CEO in Corporate is one of the funniest performances I've ever seen. Dude committed hard to the role and it was outstanding.
ShaunTrek2025-10-14 23:05
He was one of those big, bold, commanding presences who just also happened to be really, really funny.
MikeFatz2025-10-14 23:31
I always wanted to see him and Andre Braugher cast in something together. Just the visual of them passionately arguing about something in equally deadpan, perfectly enunciated sentences until one finally gets mad enough to crack that exterior and raise his voice
MunsterMonch2025-10-15 00:15
Why would you do this? Bring up Andre Braugher too., now my day is double ruined.
Both great actors gone too soon.
MikeFatz2025-10-15 00:20
My_MeowMeowBeenz2025-10-15 16:41
Let’s keep this horribly depressing train of black actors gone far too soon going! hey you know who I miss, Chadwick Boseman
Kalse12292025-10-15 01:03
A while back, I had an idea for an animated Justice League Incorporated series. Didn't get far past the fancasting for the voices, but my pick for Martian Manhunter would've been Braugher. Which is the second time that's happened, considering Reddick was my main DCU pick.
ThenAnAnimalFact2025-10-14 23:32
I got to work with Lance for a short bit, I fully regret not just straight up telling him how amazing of an actor I thought he was to his face when I had the chance.
Sharp_Black2025-10-14 23:01
Bruh I can totally see him being an awesome Prof. X.
thePinguOverlord2025-10-14 23:10
That voice. That iconic voice. After Patrick Stewart and McAvoy. It’d be great to have a TransAtlantic accent for Xavier in the MCU. Reddick would have killed that.

The_Lawler2025-10-14 22:23
I’ve always thought he would make a wonderful Jean Grey.
Gambitismyheart2025-10-14 22:23
Meh. If he were back in his Marrix era, then sure I could see it but not now.

JyconX2025-10-14 22:26
I haven't forgotten.
OJONLYMAYBEDIDIT2025-10-14 22:31
didn't Fishburne himself forget?
eaguayo2025-10-14 22:49
Well he definitely did.
Funmachine2025-10-14 23:41
He actually did. A few years ago he said he would like to be in a Marvel film. This was after AM&TW.
DJfunkyPuddle2025-10-14 22:26
Definitely not the first time someone has doubled up.
Gbbq832025-10-14 22:28
Especially since we’ll either have a soft reboot of the MCU or xmen may come from another universe.
Lord_Phoenix952025-10-15 04:25
I want the Soft Reboot to be Chaos. Like imagine after Doomsday/Secret Wars the world's aren't just melded together seemlessly but they're just hodgepodge and everyone still remembers their own earth but now have to live with the fact that there are Super Powered beings who just exist without any form of Regulation and anyone could have them because of the Mutant Gene. I know it sounds very Sokovia Accords 2.0 but realistically we get another chance to show the entire prejudice against Mutants while also others claiming its their right to have these powers.
WombatChilli2025-10-15 09:36
In the comics >!that pretty much happened Miles Morales remembered the ultimate universe as did the few stray ultimate mutants, although I don't think his family and friends did; also the other (non-spider) heroes didn't remember him existing. Old Man Logan remembered his world. There were also a few random civilians talking about the change.!<
Sir__Will2025-10-14 22:42
Usually it's an even smaller role and/or involves make-up. That said, Foster's still a fairly small role in one of the less seen MCU movies so I think it can slide.
Lord_Phoenix952025-10-15 04:20
What happened to Foster anyway? We don't really know what he did after Ghost went and joined Black Ops groups.
SeriousButton62632025-10-15 04:53
Yeah we went from Bill Foster refusing to leave Ava Starr/Ghost behind and going into hiding together (at the end of *Ant-Man and the Wasp*) to Ghost working for Valentina Allegra de Fontaine at the start of *Thunderbolts*.
There's nothing to support this, but it could be that Foster got dusted in the blip, while Ava and Valentina didn't, leading to Ava working for Valentina? I think that could work out with what we know from canon?
Eric Pearson, the writer for *Thunderbolts*, said in an interview that some drafts for the movie had Bill Foster in it, that he takes up being Goliath again, and even joins the Thunderbolts team.
DarkDonut752025-10-15 08:44
Having 2 father-daughter duos in the Thunderbolts would have been hilarious
jk-9k2025-10-15 07:30

RudyRusso2025-10-14 22:51
And I'll tell you who 'her' is: Cassandra Nova. A megalomaniacal, psychotic asshole. A finger-licking, dead-inside pixie slab of third-rate dime-store nut milk. And I'll tell you what she can do. She can lick my goddamn cinnamon ring clean and kick rocks all the way to bald hell. In fact, I don't give a shit if she removes all my skin and pops me like some nightmarish blood balloon. If the last thing I do in this godforsaken cum-gutter existence is light that fuck-box on fire, I still won't die happy!
radar_3d2025-10-14 23:15

I have triples of the nova. Triples are best
eternali172025-10-14 22:33
And?
Bozlogic2025-10-14 22:37
By that logic, so is RDJ and people seems pretty stoked to see him as Doom
quakeroatsboatsman2025-10-14 22:42
Depends on how they do it. If he isn't some sort of Tony Stark variant I hate it. And even then I still might hate it.
Vandersveldt2025-10-14 22:46
My theory is that he's Iron Lad. One of the major Kang variants. Pretending to be Doom. He chose this version of himself because the appearance would fuck with the heroes once revealed.
It would make a lot more sense than anything else.
Wtygrrr2025-10-14 23:14
That would make even less sense than most things I’ve seen.
Currycel78912025-10-14 22:53
He's the Tony Stark variant of Earth-838, seeking revenge for Scarlet Witch's massacre of his Illuminati. He will basically succeed and DESTROY Earth-616, AND the TVA which stands atop it AND the council of Kangs which created it (Immortus wrote the Scarlet Witch prophecy in the first place, while Kang Prime founded the TVA). Then he'll prune ONLY those he deems worthy to the Void, ruling that as his battleworld.
Thus, leading us directly into Secret Wars.
RDJ's Doom is the hero, rebelling against the TVA's timeline apartheid! That's why he DESERVES to win.
420DonCheadle4202025-10-14 23:20
Third Russo bro ^
ibiacmbyww2025-10-15 03:25
This is the first time I've thought an idea where RDJ is secretly not playing Doom was cool.
Unfortunately, it does little to mollify the big sticking point: if the new character RDJ is playing is anyone other than a Latverian despot named Victor von Doom, fans will riot. Not just the curmudgeonly ones, or the superfans, everyone.
I like your idea, but I just don't see it.
wintermute_132025-10-14 23:25
He's not a Tony variant. He's Victor Von Doom. I've read leaks, from the same source that correctly predicted the plot of F4.
>!He's using magic to look like Tony, to trick people.!< I can say more, if you like.
jimmygwabchab2025-10-14 23:50
I’m interested
wintermute_132025-10-15 00:02
RDJ >!is apparently playing 4 different roles, in Doomsday and Secret Wars. Victor Von Doom is the show card.!<
The following is only speculation, so don't take it to heart:
>!I really hope another role is hologram AI Tony. And he's in a little device and talks to older Morgan, reassuring her after being bullied for being a huge nerd. And later he hooks up to a suit and pilots it, set to AC/DC, like old times. Perhaps Big Gun, with a crazy new weapon. I'd die. I assume the other two roles are variants. Perhaps all the "Doom is a Tony variant" people will still get their wish through that. I'd love for one of them to be an evil Iron Man.!<
lavahot2025-10-15 00:08
I mean, Chris Evans was both Johnny Storm and Captain America.

Hmm, actually I like it
aaGR3Y2025-10-14 22:26
dope
TheMegaWhopper2025-10-14 22:26
I’d be extremely disappointed if they get another old guy to play Xavier. He’s supposed to be like 15 years older than the original X-Men not an old man. They should aim for someone in their Mid 30s to play Xavier so he can age with the role like they did with James Mcavoy.
KnowThatILoveU2025-10-14 22:31
[deleted]
TheMegaWhopper2025-10-14 22:33
I think Stewart was too old for the role as well, his Xavier was reduced to a man in a chair and Charles is A LOT more than that.
KnowThatILoveU2025-10-14 22:35
My point was that no one really regrets a 60 year old Xavier and in fact they loved it when he was 74 (DoFP)
So you’re point that YOU think he’s too old really doesn’t address anything I said…
TheMegaWhopper2025-10-14 22:42
You responded to a comment about my opinion and nothing you said changed my opinion, so I reaffirmed my opinion. Sorry.
Overall_Affect_27822025-10-14 22:39
Yeah I agree with this and honestly you guys can all come for me, but I think Austin Butler could make an incredible Charles.
Remember this needs to be a dude with gravitas who, at times, makes questionable choices that borderline morally ambiguous at times. And if the X-men are gonna be young, we need someone who’s gonna stick around for a long time and have that tumultuous teacher/student/father/son leader to leader dynamic with Cyclops.
ILeftMyBurnerOn2025-10-14 22:45
Keep that Elvis talking loser away from my X-Men please.
Currycel78912025-10-14 22:42
Just bring back James McAvoy.
thatdudewillyd2025-10-14 23:00
Would be such a fumble not to bring him back but more so with Fassbender. Dude’s Magneto was incredible!
greendeadredemption22025-10-14 23:32
Yeah fassbender should come back he would be incredible. Him in South America killing nazis is still one of the best comic book movie scenes ever.
jormugandr2025-10-15 07:00
I was very disappointed that the Magneto: Origins movie was cancelled when Wolverine: Origins was so shitty. It would have been a whole movie of him doing that stuff.
Obviously, they adapted a lot of it for First Class, but I wanted more.
greendeadredemption22025-10-15 21:53
He’s the best part of first class, magneto has always been an interesting character but you could really feel his pain and see why he was the way he was with that movie. I think he could still work as magneto too he’s only like late 40s so he can age with the movies and not be too old. Recasting him feels like it would be such a big mistake.
Sere12025-10-15 02:27
Seriously, McAvoy and Fassbender had the same level of mutual love and respect between their versions of the characters that Stewart and McKellen did with theirs. The originals were already perfect casting but they knocked it out of the park twice when they did the recast for the younger versions.
SteamBoatMickey2025-10-15 03:20
They quite literally carried that First Class saga, the movies were good - but they were *great*.
The fact that Dark Phoenix was so terrible, even with them, is a testament to how bad that movie was. A real shame too.
Chiefmeez2025-10-16 01:01
Really really bad unfortunately. It made Apocalypse looks decent
tew2tew2025-10-14 22:42
Any reason they can’t just bring back Mcavoy? I thought he did well as a Charles.
TheMegaWhopper2025-10-14 22:49
Wouldn't be totally opposed to it, he was definitely great, but I think they should try and separate themselves from the Fox movies as much as possible. Should probably go for an American Xavier for the same reason(plus comic accuracy)
annoyinglyclever2025-10-14 23:04
Also I think they want to differentiate between the different universes.
nooookay2025-10-14 23:14
Don't you think that this might confuse audiences? I'd hate for it to ruin the perfectly easy to understand X-Men film timeline.
Leelze2025-10-14 23:20
I don't think it would be all that difficult to make it obvious it's a different universe of X-Men. It's not like Patrick Stewart's return as the Professor in Dr Strange confused anyone.
nooookay2025-10-14 23:26
This was more supposed to be taken sarcastically, because the X-Men timeline can't get more confusing, so why not bring them back?
Leelze2025-10-14 23:26
Yup, I missed that lol
nooookay2025-10-14 23:28
It's only fitting that my joke about confusing things should cause confusion.
RazzDaNinja2025-10-15 00:09
There’s always the chance that their logic is just that a lesser-known actor would simply be cheaper than Hollywood heavies like James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender lol
Sir__Will2025-10-14 22:44
I don't really agree that he should be really young. Especially considering the Magneto situation and whatever way they allow him to be over 100 years old. I imagine he'll still be an older actor.
Though he will be like 66 or something by the time this films so that may be pushing it. They'd want the character around for at least a decade if not more.
4xu52025-10-14 22:26
but Bill Foster though
phatboyart2025-10-14 22:27
I feel like it would be too “Morpheus” since both him and Xavier have a similar vibe. Good actor though i wouldn’t hate it.
Protomanny2025-10-14 22:27
Yep, 100% down for that
morchol2025-10-14 22:27
Did he forget again he was already in the mcu?
Justice9892025-10-14 23:26
If RDJ can play Doom, then the doors have been blown off the "already in the MCU" issue. Besides, people have double dipped before that anyway.
NaiRad10002025-10-14 22:27
Laurence, did you forget you’re already in the MCU?
Left_Maize8162025-10-14 22:27
He’s already Goliath in the MCU though. Reboot the universe and let’s go, he’d be amazing.
datsnazzydany2025-10-14 22:27
Umm I know his role was small in the grand scheme of things, but he already played Bill Foster. I know some people are cool with actors double dipping in MCU roles (I’ve personally never been a fan) but this is one role and the X-men in general, I really want to see a fresh faces play them.
colbyxclusive2025-10-14 22:28
No. He already played Bill Foster. I’m sick of the double casted actors/actresses. Let other people play roles!
Jackielegs432025-10-14 22:29
I want that, too.
Silvermoth22025-10-14 22:29
This would slay actually
whofedthefish2025-10-14 22:30
Hell yeah!
Myhtological2025-10-14 22:31
Oh you just want to be everything.
Low-Concert51702025-10-14 22:32
Fishbourne as Xavier and Washington as Magneto would have been compelling to watch.
Vegetable-Dog52812025-10-14 22:33
No
Mnemosense2025-10-14 22:34
He's beginning to believe...
eternali172025-10-14 22:34
Yeah. I get it
DXbreakitdown2025-10-14 22:35
I was really hoping for Mcavoy and Fassbender to be back
JohnnyBananas132025-10-14 22:36

I like this honestly, Fishburne's great

You know something. What you know, you can't explain. But you feel it. You felt it your entire life: Something's wrong with the world. You don't know what, but it's there. Like a splinter in your mind. It isn't a disease. It's something you're born with. It's as normal as being a traditional Homo sapien.
chickenkebaap2025-10-14 22:36
Why not make James McAvoy reprise his role as the older Charles
thevokplusminus2025-10-14 22:39
Way too old
Learnin2Shit2025-10-14 22:40
Why can’t the guy who played Xavier in the last films do it again. Macavoy or whatever. He was good!
Dell0c02025-10-14 22:41
Only if they didn't waste Giancarlo Esposito on a throw away character, so he could be his Magneto.
ryaaan892025-10-14 22:42
Hell yeah.
Dell0c02025-10-14 22:44
If Marvel Studios stopped ignoring Goliath, he would not have to put out these statements. They do this for way too many characters.
Basic-Ability61392025-10-14 22:45
I'm sure he does
Any_Cardiologist69722025-10-14 22:46
Superhero Movie (2008) 😆
Sir__Will2025-10-14 22:49
I think he could do well with it. That said, his age does concern me a little. While I don't think Xavier needs to be that young, especially with Magneto likely being older (guess it depends how they deal him being 100 years old), he'd be like 66 or something by the time the first movie films. They'll probably want Xavier around for at least a decade, if not more I'd think.
p_yth2025-10-14 22:50
He would be perfect for the role
Possible-Tip-29142025-10-14 22:52
That could work but he's already playing Black Goliath.
Commentaires
Or at least, that's what I'd like to believe.
Honestly I'm really struggling to be positive these days so I was probably projecting.
Either way, sorry again.
He was the right man for the job even then, got that swagger for sure.
Day 1 Charles is a respected, benevolent authority figure. It wouldn’t be until 2035 (at least) that you would get to Xavier Protocols/Deadly Genesis/Danger/Messiah CompleX.
Charles is the ultimate white privilege.
This is the one thing Magnus has always told Xavier about that he does not understand about mutants. He is a very rich, white man and he never grew up with what Magnus, people of color or mutants that can never hide their mutation went through.
It's a picture of the x-men
The x-men have always been woke and that's a good thing
Laurence Fishburne: Hold my beer.
Not that I disagree with you but I wouldn’t be shocked if the next Xavier is still significantly older than the rest of the cast
David Harewood did a damn good job though 👍
Dude was an absolute legendary actor for a lot of us. RIP Lance.
It wasn't super mainstream, but his role as the CEO in Corporate is one of the funniest performances I've ever seen. Dude committed hard to the role and it was outstanding.
Both great actors gone too soon.
I wish I were Levar Burton
Ay! Motherfucker
YES PLEASE. Fuck the racists who care about skin color.
Erik: nationality is directly tied to motivations. DO NOT TOUCH.
There's nothing to support this, but it could be that Foster got dusted in the blip, while Ava and Valentina didn't, leading to Ava working for Valentina? I think that could work out with what we know from canon?
Eric Pearson, the writer for *Thunderbolts*, said in an interview that some drafts for the movie had Bill Foster in it, that he takes up being Goliath again, and even joins the Thunderbolts team.
It would make a lot more sense than anything else.
Thus, leading us directly into Secret Wars.
RDJ's Doom is the hero, rebelling against the TVA's timeline apartheid! That's why he DESERVES to win.
Unfortunately, it does little to mollify the big sticking point: if the new character RDJ is playing is anyone other than a Latverian despot named Victor von Doom, fans will riot. Not just the curmudgeonly ones, or the superfans, everyone.
I like your idea, but I just don't see it.
>!He's using magic to look like Tony, to trick people.!< I can say more, if you like.
The following is only speculation, so don't take it to heart:
>!I really hope another role is hologram AI Tony. And he's in a little device and talks to older Morgan, reassuring her after being bullied for being a huge nerd. And later he hooks up to a suit and pilots it, set to AC/DC, like old times. Perhaps Big Gun, with a crazy new weapon. I'd die. I assume the other two roles are variants. Perhaps all the "Doom is a Tony variant" people will still get their wish through that. I'd love for one of them to be an evil Iron Man.!<
Inspired casting, he would be incredible.
So you’re point that YOU think he’s too old really doesn’t address anything I said…
Remember this needs to be a dude with gravitas who, at times, makes questionable choices that borderline morally ambiguous at times. And if the X-men are gonna be young, we need someone who’s gonna stick around for a long time and have that tumultuous teacher/student/father/son leader to leader dynamic with Cyclops.
Obviously, they adapted a lot of it for First Class, but I wanted more.
The fact that Dark Phoenix was so terrible, even with them, is a testament to how bad that movie was. A real shame too.
Though he will be like 66 or something by the time this films so that may be pushing it. They'd want the character around for at least a decade if not more.
Can Jake gyllenhall play black panther?
