Like I've been dealing with the Fantastic 4 fancast, I decided to have some fresh start with my new fancast of the X-Men for today. I just want this to feel like the resemblance with the characters as the part of the team where many has faced a lot of discrimination. I want this story to be mostly about the different takes that they have in the minority of humanity, due to the difference from the majority of mutants being the subject to prejudice and discrimination; many X-Men stories feature social commentary on bigotry, justice, and other political themes. Now, I will be casting some of the smaller actors who have not yet got into a big screen and yet has the vibe with the big role. But most importantly, I want them to have an aspect. So without further can do, let's recast X-Men.
