I tried to think outside the box with my picks, and i want the first class to be a little bit older. Anyway here are my picks: First class: Professor X: Daniel Day-Lewis (he needs to go out of his retirement) Cyclops: Charlie Hunnam (Shaved and brown hair) Jean Grey: Rebecca Ferguson Beast: Jeffrey Wright Ice-Man: Colton Haynes Archangel (Angel in flashbacks): Ryan Gosling Others: Storm: Anna Diop Rogue: Lily James Gambit: Miles Teller Nightcrawler: Bill skarsgård Cable: Liam Neeson Bishop Michael Jai White (if he wasn't already in the MCU my first pick would have been Idris Elba) Shadowcat: Violett Beane Havok: Garrett Hedlund Colossus: Florian Munteanu Wolverine: Antony Starr The brotherhood of mutants: Magneto: Gary Oldman Mystique: Summer Glau (she is kinda unknow. I don't want Mystique to be one of the leader of the X-Men, like Jennifer Lawrence made Mystique one of the leaders because she is a household name) Blob: Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson Toad: Jamie Bell Sabertooth: Jai Courtney
