[Gil-Estel]

193 in centimeters

6 foot 3 inches...close enough.

Edit: You didn't say you could resist Harriet the Spy though!

[Gil-Estel]

Easily

Then you should be Green Lantern in our DC universe because you have the Willpower fitting someone in the Laterns Corps!

Here's a thought: Keri Russell for Rogue. She can pull off a nice Southern accent, and unlike Anna Paquin in the last three movies, doesn't look like a whiney #$&*@!.

I, personally, like an empowered Rogue who has super strength and can kick #$&*@!. That said, other recommendations on ladies with Southern accents who would look good with a white streak down their hair?

Still no ideas for Beast... He's my favorite character from X-Men, and I didn't particularly care for his X3 actor. But I'm not really familiar with any actors, so I can't think of a good one.

Kelsey Grammer was the actor in X3. He had the intelligence aspect down, but can anyone see FRAISER fighting?!

I personally really like the feline Beast, or evolving Beast as it gives his character a lot of depth. So it would probably take two actors to play him. One pre-mutation (he used to be a regular guy who was just strong and agile and smart) and one post mutation.

I dislike the feline beast, but that's my opinion. And Grammer did have the intelligence though, and I did think the same about the fighting thing.

[ket_the_jet]

The thing that makes the feline Beast cool is that the whole time he thinks he is devolving into an animal. He loses partial use of his fingers and cannot do lab experiments, etc. Eventually, he learns that he is evolving and accepts the changes as they happen.

But until he accepts it, he gets angry and self-destructive...really cool character.

Anyone know any actors with Cajun accents? Or at least a French accent?

Brad Pitt can pull that role off.

[sharkey]

What one?

[ket_the_jet]

I think that Brad Pitt would be the worst Gambit. Also, going with the Hugh Jackman thing, if Brad Pitt is Gambit, the focus of the movie would be on him rather than the characters.

Shane Taylor, from Band of Brothers was recommended. I know he is from the U.K., but he plays a Cajun in the series and actually pulls off the accent impressively.

My brother has encouraged me to go with a younger actress for Emma Frost. Personally, I think Charlize Theron can't be beat, but my brother has won this battle.

Elisha Cuthbert.

While I'm at it, I think that I am going to try to find a new Wolverine...someone older. I have someone quite familiar to be Sabretooth...

...so for Wolverine, what do people think about Benicio Del Toro?

I think Karl Urban could easily play someone, but I'm not sure who. Xavier springs to mind, actually.
