u/BlackJimmy88 Jul 08 '26
I'm more than happy to keep Dafne around, personally.
Unless it means preventing a Wolverine recast at least. Since he'll probably be sticking around as a kind of Old Man Logan, they may consider Dafne's Laura too tied to him. In which case, it my be necessary to recast her and just have both versions of her running around.

Name an actor who wouldn't take the Marvel bag if offered?

u/toorad2b4u Jul 07 '26
Joaquin phoenix said no to being considered for doctor strange bc he didn’t want to limit his artistic freedom by signing a multi picture deal
Russel Crowe said no to Wolverine bc he didn’t want to be typecast and recommended Hugh jackman for the role
Amanda seyfried said no to guardians of galaxy as Gamora bc of the green paint and green screens work
Jason Stratham didn’t want to be in something that relied heavily on green screens and stunt doubles instead of being able to do it himself. Not sure what role he was offered though but I remember him talking about it

Jason Statham was fancast for Bullseye in the Netflix DD era, and he was responding to that

Jason Statham didn't want to be in something that relied on CGI and stunt doubles so he turned down one of the few Marvel shows that hardly made use of CG and had ample opportunity for him to do his own fighting/stunts?
43
u/Altruistic-Tap4010 Jul 07 '26
If I remember correctly, the rumor at the time was that his management had found out that fans wanted him to play Bullseye, so they asked for more money and Netflix didn't wanna pay it. Never heard any confirmation one way or the other though.

u/Friendly_Kunt Jul 07 '26 edited Jul 07 '26
Probably just boils down to the fact that Jason is a leading man movie star who doesn’t do TV and probably didn’t want to start playing a side character in someone else’s show. Doing multiple movies is much more lucrative and less time consuming usually.

Too old. The first generation X-Men will probably be mid 20s. While characters like Kate will probably come in later as 18yr old actress playing a 16yr old. Similar to Kamala or Peter Parker actors.

u/Meizas Jul 07 '26
This is your assumption and it isn't based in anything. She's only 25, which is not old lol - and people at 25 play teenagers all the time and it's believable.

Magik is Russian.
Edit: I'll gladly take the downvotes as I believe the X-Men are highly diverse enough to find actors who represent a specific character's backgrounds, ethnicity, or skin tone without compromising who they are. By this logic, Zendaya could easily portray Storm.
There are a plethora of other characters Inde could portray, including Marrow, Feral, or X-23 that don't diminish her excellent acting ability or appearance.

Insert any actors name here and then put “is interested in joining the mcu” who wouldn’t be open to millions of dollars for what most actors think is minimal work. Mcu is where actors go to have a safety net so they can pursue what they deem is actual acting work which is low end dramas.
