When Marvel gets around to casting Scott and Jean, they need to make sure that the actors have amazing chemistry

If they can get anywhere near close to the chemistry that Elizabeth Henstridge and Iain de Caestecker (Fitzsimmons) have, then we'll be well off.

With Logan

The love triangle gets old and is really boring. Mainstream adaptations that have featured them all have done it and it gets so annoying.

Successful-Garden1922025-10-18 12:34

Yeah and if they want to do true to age wolverine and jean is just plain creepy. Lol

FreeStall422025-10-18 12:33

Just gonna stick with X-men 97 thanks.

EJ_REDIT2025-10-18 12:45

I’m confident they will. People were iffy on the F4 cast but you saw how well their chemistry was on screen and off screen, everytime I saw them off screen it felt like they were always in character

MisterMiracle812025-10-18 12:52

I agree. The F4 cast had so much chemistry. MCU normally nails it when it comes to cast chemistry. The First Class timeline seemed to only have chemistry between Fassbender and MacAvoy. But who can blame those two for having chemistry together 😂

marvelcomics222025-10-18 13:57

First Class is my favourite X-Men movie, it's so good.

MisterMiracle812025-10-18 14:01

It is. It’s one of my favorites as well. The pace is light and refreshing. Though I did not like Emma or Shaw. Didn’t feel like the comic characters. Or what they did to Darwin. But Magneto and Charles…I ship them.

marvelcomics222025-10-18 14:27

It's different to the original X-Men movies and is so much better for it. For the most part, it's relatively light hearted, but when it gets serious, it gets *serious*. Charles and Erik were definately a thing behind-the-scenes.

MisterMiracle812025-10-18 14:28

Exactly to both points. It felt like an X-Men comic. Light-hearted and fun when it needed to be, but had no issue being super serious. It felt like a comic and not a vehicle to show off how awesome Hugh Jackman is as Wolverine.

Hands down my favorite soundtrack, as well.

g2tha2025-10-18 19:06

pedro and vanessa especially

El_Quetzal2025-10-21 16:01

The F4 cast had such bad chemistry...well that was spected with how horrible the casting was

mistermeesh2025-10-18 12:54

If only Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga were younger.

TheNeech2025-10-18 14:17

Shit…you’re not wrong.

If there's one thing I always have faith in the MCU, it's the casting.

marccass2025-10-18 16:17

Casting is always very good. Even the really left-field stuff pays off.

GreyFoxNinjaFan2025-10-18 14:01

My exposure to the x-man has mainly consisted of the 90s cartoon.. and i found the characters to have *very* little chemistry.

But i always thought the point of the love triangle with wolverine was that wolvey and Jean *did* have a lot of chemistry..

PirateBeany2025-10-18 15:37

The 90s cartoon gets a lot of love, but I think it wasn't great at characterization -- everyone was so very melodramatic. You're better off with the comics.

HeWhoReddits2025-10-18 17:08

To be fair even in the comics X-Men is absolutely a soap opera

myowngalactus2025-10-18 18:12

90s cyclops is like a different character than the rest of his history. They tried to make him just a block of wood boyscout character to be a foil for the edgy characters that were so popular in the 90s. Morrison, Gillen, Bendis and Krakoan era cyclops is closer in line to what I think the character should be.

Logan and Jean kind of have an animal attraction to each other, but there’s not a lot of depth to their relationship. He’s not someone she would ever be in a long term relationship with even if Scott wasn’t around.

TheNeech2025-10-18 14:18

It’s going to end up being Sweeney and Powell…watch

BMadAd592025-10-18 20:43

I like Powell for it but not Sweeney

bigbrainnowisdom2025-10-18 14:55

And pleasee... no love triangle with logan.

Unless they want to do a series, with enough episodes to address that drama.

Rising-Dragon-Fist2025-10-18 15:05

They need to get someone as attractive as Famke Janssen when they do. She was such a good Jean!

El_Quetzal2025-10-18 15:53

I really hope we get some actors who are a great match for this characters, and that they stay for a while in the mcu

StoneGoldX2025-10-18 17:30

You mean that Jean and whomever they cast as wolverine, right?

I know, I'll take my "how dare you!" downvotes off mic, but you know I'm probably right.

GIJobra2025-10-18 18:29

Eh, I'm more in the hopes that Scott and Emma have great chemistry.

Nonadventures2025-10-19 06:22

Oh you like the MESSY X-men

GIJobra2025-10-19 12:35

I like my X-Men absolutely filthy, yes. They'll make better movies that way, IMO.

Uncanny_Doom2025-10-18 20:22

They do this thing called screen tests.

SadHumbleFlower272025-10-19 07:25

Luckily, Marvel Studios has the best track record of any superhero franchise when it comes to casting.
