Name a Marvel character and I’ll cast them in the MCU

Comment the name of any Marvel character — big, small, obscure, villain, hero, cosmic entity, whatever — and I’ll give you my dream casting for them in the MCU.

Could be someone from the comics who hasn’t appeared yet, a reboot of an existing role, or a totally wild fan-cast. I’ll explain why I picked that actor, too.

Dark Claw

Substantial-Use9192025-10-18 11:51

Scott Adkins or Milo Gibson

KitsuneRisu2025-10-18 11:53

You promised explanations >:(

Substantial-Use9192025-10-18 11:54

Sorry, I think Scott Adkins looks similar to both Wolverine and Batman. Milo Gibson is also my personal fancast for Wolverine in the MCU.

KitsuneRisu2025-10-18 11:55

Thank you :D

Scott Adkins I agree

I cannot see Milo Gibson though.

That guy's face is too buttery.

But he does have the wolverine chin.

No_Researcher98652025-10-18 11:49

8 Ball

Substantial-Use9192025-10-18 11:52

Jason Sudekis because I think he could pull off the both serious and non-serious side of 8-Ball, like in the comic where he helped Moon Knight.

Successful-Grand-5492025-10-18 11:53

Would love to see who you'd pick if you redid the Avengers (original none of this Thunderbirds nonsense)

Substantial-Use9192025-10-18 11:56

Could you explain what you mean plz

JSevatar2025-10-18 11:59

He means recast the OG Avengers

Successful-Grand-5492025-10-18 12:01

Yup, I did ☝️👍

Substantial-Use9192025-10-18 12:08

Ok I would pick

Nate Mann as Iron Man / Tony Stark - the guy has the looks, charisma and personality to pull of the billionaire playboy

Glen Powell as Steve Rogers / Captain America - think he can play both the serious and sensitive side of Steve

Adam Scott as Hulk / Bruce Banner - can play the nerdy side of Banner but still look good when CGI is put on his face when he is the Hulk

Alexander Ludwig as Thor - he looks like Thor, he is a good actor

Ivanna Sakhno as Black Widow / Natasha Romanoff - can pull of Natasha like a treat, seen her in action scenes before and was great (Ahsoka)

Dacre Montgomery as Hawkeye / Clint Barton - has the charisma for Clint, would work really well with Sakhno’s Black Widow.

Successful-Grand-5492025-10-18 12:18

Ah interesting 🤔 definitely could see it for some of them 👍 hard to put anyone else in as Iron Man or Cap, my brain just doesn't want to allow it 😅

OxidizedCopperBrick2025-10-18 11:54

who would you pick for professor x and magneto in the mcu?

(if it were for me id just get james mcavoy and michael fassbender back but thats probably unlikely)

Substantial-Use9192025-10-18 11:58

Mark Strong as Professor X - commanding presence, can play a great leader, caring tone. Overall I think he has the looks, voice and personality to pull of the leader of the mutants

Jason Isaacs as Magneto - like Strong he has a commanding presence but a voice that can send chills down your spine (that’s how he made me feel when watching Harry Potter). I also think he could pull off long white hair.

OxidizedCopperBrick2025-10-18 12:20

fair i could see both of them in the respective roles

CharacterOld86912025-10-18 13:54

Ben Mendelsohn as Magneto.

sockjin2025-10-18 20:05

that would be funny if talos was stealing magneto’s looks this whole time

Primary_Peach_12672025-10-18 11:55

Tigra?

Substantial-Use9192025-10-18 11:59

Renee Rapp - has the sort of endearing quality that can help bring a feline character to life

bigbrainnowisdom2025-10-18 11:58

Hyperion & princess power

Powerpacks

Substantial-Use9192025-10-18 12:17

Henry Cavill as Hyperion - big kick in the face to DC. He would do a great job.

Gal Gadot as Power Princess - …just kidding

Ana de Armas as Power Princess - she would pull it off great, she looks exactly like Zarda.

Walker Scobell as Mass Master - we know that Walker can pull of teenage heroes, he would be so good (also think he could play Franklin Richards)

Maxwell Jenkins as Zero-G - great young actor, could definitely play a superhero

Ava Jean as Lightspeed - haven’t done a lot of work (starring in Camp Rock 3) but looks the part

McKenna Grace as Energizer - definitely want her to play a superhero in the future and I think she would pull this off

icorrectpettydetails2025-10-18 12:01

Forbush Man.

Substantial-Use9192025-10-18 12:19

Seth Rogen - definitely bring comedy and has the perfect voice for the character

CaptHayfever2025-10-18 17:53

Worth noting that this would be a *re*cast, since Stan's cameos in the Defenders Saga were as Irving Forbush. (Not criticizing you for it; OP said recasts were ok.)

Jenkes_of_Wolverton2025-10-18 12:02

Polaris

Substantial-Use9192025-10-18 12:09

Elle Fanning - random I know, put I think she would be great as Magneto’s daughter and the sister of Wanda.

Longshot, The Beyonder, Molecule Man. I’m partial to Rami Malek as Beyonder, he’s very alien looking.

Original Night Thrasher, Nova (Richard Ryder), Speedball, Marvel Boy (Justice), Firestar. Basically, O.G. New Warriors.

Let's get weird. How would you cast the real people that showed up in the comics? Don't go the easy route and say the person would play themself.

Stan Lee

Jack Kirby

Anderson Cooper

I seem to remember Barack Obama being in a Spider-man book. I could be wrong...
