Casting a New Marvel Universe

I’m going to make a new marvel cinematic universe based on actors and actresses who YOU cast. The ones with the most yes votes will be casted for that character and if one actor is the top for 2 positions than I will give one of those to the one in second place. Remember no official casting choices (Tom Holland as Spider-Man, James McAvoy as Professor X, Robert Downy Jr. as Iron Man, etc.)
