I am sure everyone has been seeing the topics as of late about the casting for Professor X and Magneto.
What are your opinions on the matter?
Does race matter when it comes to these 2 characters? or any characters for that matter?
Does this type of casting benefit the movies yet to come?
Are you more concerned with actually having a decent movie versus who gets cast in the role?
Also if you have any casting ideas, I would love to know them. Comment below with your ideas on this. I am very interested in everyone's opinion.
I’m all for adding some diversity that wasn’t as commercially possible when these characters were originally created in the 60’s and appealing to a global market. I also think it would work well within the context of dealing with prejudice and bigotry that the mutant concept is founded on.
My only regret is that I really love the holocaust survivor origin of Magneto... it’s very powerful and served the themes well. But with the MCU being set more or less in “real time” I think that’ll regrettably have to be jettisoned no matter what in favor of casting a Magneto who is less than 90 years old!
Both excellent points I didn't really think about.
I won't lie casting is very important in a movie but a good story can overshadow a bad cast. So the only person who needs to do all the work is the Writer / Producer and Director .
That is true. There are bad casting, bad acting calls made all the time. A lot can be fixed with the Writer, Producer and/or even the Director, but sometimes a bad casting is just a bad casting.
