The fan-generated video imagines 1980s actors playing the iconic X-Men

The 80s were a great decade for mutants Marvel Comics. The publisher was on the verge of closing the series X-Menuntil a young man named Chris Claremont and decided to convert the professor’s students Xavier in the flagship of Wonder. In the following years Cyclops, Glutton and Ororo became huge stars of the comic book world.

While Clamont he no longer writes to mutants, the prestige of this group of characters Wonder it is still very relevant. At the beginning of this millennium, long before UCM And after superheroes conquered the box office, Marvel superheroes have already made their first appearance on the big screen. Of all the films ever made (Blade, Hulk, Fantastic Four), there have been two franchises that have been absolutely successful, that of Spider-Man and the X-Men. The mutant trilogy was very successful, but above all I praise an actor, Hugh Jackmannand linked his name to a character, Glutton.

In it UCM it is very likely that we will see a new one Glutton played by another actor, obviously also by the rest of the group, so the Internet is full of theories about who the new cast will be. Despite this, in La casa de El we wonder what it would have been like if we had decided to make a live action about mutants in the 1980s, perhaps their period of greatest popularity. It seems we weren’t the only ones who had that idea, the channel Youtube Strider HD They also thought about it, but a video was also generated where we can see which actors would play the students Xavier.

According to the video, the mutant star, Gluttonwould have been played by Kurt Russell, meanwhile, the charismatic villain and master of the magnetism, Magnetoit would have been Rutger Hauer. Michael Biehn had given birth to the leader of the X-Men, Cyclops. Peter O’Toole, the legendary Lawrence of Arabiait would have been the Professor X. Sigourney Weaveran icon of the 80s, he would bring it to life Jean Grey. The rest of the characters that appear in the video are played by great actors of the time and it is very interesting to see how well drawn the mutants are. If this movie had been made with this casting, it would have been a lot of fun to go see it in theaters.
