Daniel Craig is my first choice for Magneto... but this art doesn't really look like him. Why even put a beard on him? Both Daniel Craig and Magneto are usually shown clean shaved, so not sure why the artist decided to give him a beard here.

Daniel Craig is too young to play a holocaust survivor anyway but other than that he is a good choice for the role.

Regardless of how I feel about his Bond films getting a Bond actor in your franchise only to age him up or Biden him would be rather depressing. |

It's a problem for a future movie in the 2030s or beyond. At some point he'd have to be a baby during the Holocaust for it to still make sense. Someone said that his backstory could be revised to a genocide that occurred in Genosha and make him a refugee from that conflict. That'd be different.

The thing about using the Holocaust as the main reason he's Magneto is that it's a human on human thing. Making it a human vs mutant event that's totally personal to him makes more sense. Even in X-men Apocalypse, when they tried to recreate that moment from the comics, failed because it wasn't because he was a mutant. It was because he's a terrorist. His flip in First Class made no sense either. For him, there was no moment in First Class that was about humans being against mutants until he made it a thing.

As the years move by, they're going to need to update his origin because we keep getting further and further away from the Holocaust.. Unless they do a period piece.

Personally, I was hoping for a bigger guy to play Cyclops. Someone who would be a bit more physically imposing. Was thinking someone like Armie Hammer. |

It's a fictional island so it's history can be easily retconned as necessary to fit any characters.

The human on human conflict shaped Max's worldview. It set precedence and gave him the justification for how he chose to handle human-on-mutant aggression. It gave him precedence for being militant. Starting the character off with a human-on-mutant catalyst is a bit heavy-handed and obvious. It also makes him more sympathetic, which I think is lazy and overdone. I neither need nor want to sympathize with Magneto. He's a sociopathic terrorist and demagogue who uses fear to motivate mutants into acts of violence.

No the holocaust is better because it strikes a memory with people who survived that and their descendants who watch the X-Men movies. If you're going to do Magneto well then don't half ass it. One of the best things about the X-Men is their link to the Nazis. |
