This brings us to Full Circle Cinemas scoop that says Marvel is considering having people of color portraying both Magneto and Professor X in the MCU.

That would certainly be a great move from a studio thats looking to expand its character diversity and inclusivity. Marvel could also employ this strategy to differentiate its X-Men productions from all the X-Men movies that Fox made before being purchased by Disney.

Not to mention that Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr do not have to be white men (or men) for that matter, in the MCU. Yes, it would be harder to adapt Magnetos origin story than Xaviers, as the former was born to a Jewish family in the 1920s. The events in his early life are what turned Erik into Magneto, and that cant and shouldnt change. But it wont be impossible for Marvel to make adjustments.

Really leaning into the MLK vs. Malcolm X comparison here. I'm not sure I need it. I think it's a little heavyhanded and this is a well-established take.

But for people who aren't familiar with decades of old material here it might do some good work.

I am not sure Xavier's tolerance message has aged well compared to Eric's call for mutant liberation.

Yeah I've thought of this. The fact that his origin is tied so much with the holocaust really makes doing movies with him in the future hard, given the fact newer movies tend to make the "present" closer to the current real life present, using newer technology and what not. Unless they make him like Logan where he doesn't age as fast, or they keep stories stuck in the 1960's to early 2000s potentially. Same thing with Xavier given that a major part of their history is that they were good friend when they were young men.

If they could find the right actress, Storm could easily carry a movie by herself.

And honestly, this would be the perfect time to try it

Seems to me, you might cast a black Magneto if a black guy had the best audition and stuff but I don't really get why you would go into the thing from the planning stage saying "we need somebody black to play Magneto."

But whatever, Magneto/Prof X will probably be cool either way.
