Casting: The MCU X-Men

Welcome to a new series I am starting, 
 called "Casting: ..."

The castings will range from new MCU/DC films, live action adaptations of certain franchises or recasting an already finished film.

Today's post is dedicated to MARVEL Studios' X-Men, which is yet to begin pre-production.

Some notes on this casting:

• This interpretation of the X-Men are a team immeadiately, no one is joining halfway through the film or at the beginning. 

• Wolverine is in his mid-50s/early 60s and is more of a mentor to the younger students than a leader.

• Storm is the established captain of the team.

• I'm ignoring that some actors in this casting have already appeared in the MCU, this is a simple 'What if...'

• I made the edits, each within 10 minutes, so some might not look better than others.

• I am using the mobile app, PicsArt to make the edits

With them notes out the way, on with the casting:

Zoe Saldana as Storm

(Saldana is Gamora in the Guardians of the Galaxy series)

Andy Serkis as Beast

(Serkis was Klaw in Black Panther)

Beast should be CGI in this film, similar to Andy's other Mo-Cap roles

Mark Strong as Professor. X

Josh Brolin as Wolverine

Rami Malek as NightCrawler

Emma Stone as Jean Grey

Armie Hammer as Cyclops

Matthew McConehay as Gambit

Alternative castings:
