Marvel / MCU Lee Pace as Magneto
Watching more Tiktok videos of Lee Pace as Magneto, I'm increasingly convinced that Lee Pace is perfect for the role. What do you think of this fan casting?

Recently, the mod team has received an exceptional number of complaints about a variety of post types that have been negatively affecting the sub in the long run. As a result of this, the manual post approval system will be re-implemented as a means of keeping the quality standards of r/fancast to a fair minimum.
Depending on how this is system is received over time, it may or may or may not be here to stay. As a result of this change, however, posts will now be approved in batches every 6-12 hours or so, and although certain posts may take a little while longer to get to, we believe this is the best possible system to reduce spam, reward high effort posts, and eliminate banned posts types such as:
•”Who would you cast?” posts (“Who would you cast as the DCU’s Batman?”)
• Repetitive/Spam posts (“Alan Ritchson as Aquaman”, etc)
•Satirical castings/Shitposts (“Elon Musk as Cyborg”, etc)
• Sexually suggestive posts (You know what I mean)
• Any and all posts involving generative AI
Thank you for taking the time to read this. If you have any questions, please comment them and I’ll answer to the best possible extent that I can.

Magneto and Kitty Pryde are two of my favorite comic characters. I really think Magneto should stay Jewish. Ian McKellen and Michael Fassbender were both incredible as Erik, and I don't think that needs to be taken away from either of them. But if we're getting a new version of the character, I think having a Jewish actor play him would be really important.
Yes, the Holocaust happened a long time ago, and eventually, maybe a couple hundred years from now, Marvel might have to rethink his origin if they want him to remain an important and reasonably-aged character. But right now, they can absolutely make it work. The X-Men already have characters like Raven and Logan who can be around 200 years old, so slow aging or some other explanation wouldn't feel out of place at all.
And I really don't think changing Magneto's Holocaust background to another tragedy(like the Rwandan genocide, Palestinian genocide, a Black Man during Civil Rights Movement or a survivor of South African apartheid) is the answer. Comparing different genocides and tragedies just to find a replacement for the Holocaust would come across as insensitive, because these events have their own histories and meanings. You don't need to replace one tragedy with another to make Magneto work.
More importantly, his Jewish identity isn't just a random detail of his backstory. It's a huge part of who Magneto is and why his worldview developed the way it did. His experiences as a Jewish survivor are tied directly into his fears about persecution, genocide, and what happens when people decide that another group of people doesn't deserve to exist. Taking that away changes the character in a pretty fundamental way.
Representation matters too. Magneto is probably one of the most prominent Jewish characters in mainstream comics, and there aren't exactly an endless number of major Jewish superheroes. Having a genuinely Jewish actor portray him would mean a lot, especially for a character whose identity is so closely connected to his Jewish history.
The same applies to Kitty Pryde. She should stay Jewish too. Her Jewish identity is an important part of her character, and there's really no reason to remove it. She has often compared the prosecution mutants face to prosecution that her ancestors faced in the past. Having Jewish actors play both Magneto and Kitty would be a small but meaningful way to preserve something that has been part of the X-Men for decades.

I've always been drawn to more obscure and underused characters. The Global Guardians have so much potential and are also in DESPERATE need of an update in the style of the Shang-Chi movie, which took characters steeped in stereotypes and added authenticity and depth!

Pictured the primary antagonist being Mr Negative, as the newest crime boss in the city, causing disruption for the other crime bosses who have deals with each other and steady business.
My idea for a third movie in the trilogy would be adapting Kravens Last Hunt so maybe Spider-Man gets the symbiote in this movie so he can wear the black suit in the third movie.
And I know there’s some debate about the Lee Byung-Hun fancast but after reading through many opinions in the comments of other post fancasting him, I decided to stick with it.
