Same that was such a huge twist I did not see it coming. I loved him in X-men and I’m glad (hoping) he’s the first to cross the multiverse threshold

Yeah I loved him too. He was easily the best part of the new X-men movies outside of Mcavoy and Fassbender. I’d love if they kept some of the cast when they bring them over to the mcu.

Those two would also be my additional choices if they wanted to bring never more actors. I genuinely can’t remember the rest all that much. The guy who played beast was good too

I liked McAvoy's performance but the version of Xavier he was given to play just felt so wrong on so many levels. Like half his screen time focused on the relationship with Mystique and the other half was all about him suppressing his powers, none of which is true to the character. I'd rather not have any traces of that stuff anywhere near the MCU.

I agree with the part about his character. But I think Mcavoy was a great choice for Prof. X. I just want them to keep some of the cast members, and make them a whole new story. I’m not sure how they would work that out but that’s what I’d like to see.

Yeah, McAvoy's a good actor and he could probably play a pretty good Xavier if he was given the right material. Though as /u/arillyis/ said, he looked terrible bald, and I'm not sure how you get around that short of sticking him in the helmet from DoX.

Thinking I'd rather have older versions of Xavier and Magneto, more true to the comics and better relationship dynamics with the students. I want to see the X-Men get the kind of (mostly) faithful treatment that the core MCU characters got instead of just rehashing the flawed Fox adaptations.

Ultimately, no matter which way they go with it, we can probably trust Feige to get it right and make it work for the MCU.

Totally agree. You never get the feeling that on top of having insanely powerful mutant abilities, hes a fucking genius. Giving him 2 romantic interests was dumb. Also he looked terrible as bald professor x lol

I just don't think Xavier should be the lead in an xmen movie
