X-Men: Dark Phoenix is coming to theaters next year and while we’ve known that certain mutants like Professor Xavier, Storm, and Magneto are definitely coming back, a newly posted casting call hints at 16 new characters we can expect to see. Some are easy to figure out. Others, not so much. Let’s discuss.

The casting call reported by The Hashtag Show features a broad range of characters open to men and women from a variety of backgrounds. Judging from the names and descriptions listed on the call, we’re fairly confident that we can guess who at least five people to appear in the movie.

 

[Escape Goat]

You posted everything but the thing people came to this thread to see. :-/

Rogue, Sunfire, Dazzler, M being the first 4 guesses.

[SHANE] Male, 16, actor must be an adult (18 or over or legally emancipated minor), Caucasian. A cocky, handsome kid with swagger. He is strong and doesn’t back down easily, so he can come off as an insensitive bully at times…LEAD

[COLIN] Male, 16, actor must be an adult (18 or over or legally emancipated minor), Caucasian. Handsome, but not arrogant. Always willing to help a friend in need no matter what it costs him. Although he is sensitive, he is not a pushover and will stand up for what he believes…LEAD

[PRESIDENT ANDERSON] Male or Female, 50s-60s, open to all ethnicities. A powerful, strong and positive leader with a commanding presence and voice. An honest leader and good role model, they are truly committed to making the world a better place. When pushed, they know they must make difficult decisions to keep the people safe…SUPPORTING

[REDMOND] Male, 50s-Early 60s, open to all ethnicities. An affluent, big, stocky, ruddy American. Not necessarily fit, just physically imposing. Powerful, arrogant and blunt, Redmond is not used to being challenged and steamrolls anyone who opposes him…SUPPORTING

[LUCCA] Male, 40s-50s. Brazilian. Ruthless and cunning, will stop at nothing to get what he wants. Must be able to speak English fluently, but can have an accent…SUPPORTING

[JACK] Male, Late 40s-Early 50s, British, open to all ethnicities. Handsome, charismatic and masculine. Jack is very self assured, almost cocky, but too cool to show it. Even in the most tense situations, he never shows fear…SUPPORTING

[LUNA] Female, Mid-Late 20s, open to all ethnicities. Beautiful, could possibly have a severe look. Luna is intense and exudes a sense of power. Although she is a commanding presence, she is also slightly unhinged….SUPPORTING

[WILLIAM] Male, Early 50s, Caucasian. A grounded, earnest middle-aged man. William carries a heaviness and a deep sense of sadness with him…SUPPORTING

[DR. CLARK] Female, 40s-60s, open to all ethnicities. Grounded and professional, she specializes in working with children. Dr. Clark has years of experience, and it takes a lot to disturb her…SUPPORTING

[CHARLOTTE] Female, Early-Mid 30s, Caucasian. A caring, warm mother. Charlotte can be stern at times, but she just wants what is best for her child…SUPPORTING

[HAMILTON] Male, 12 years old, open to all ethnicities. Chubby, sweet, innocent and genuine. Although he frequently gets picked on, he never lets it get to him …SUPPORTING

[HOOVER] Male. 30s-40s. Open to all ethnicities. A man with a very strong presence, Hoover is an incredibly smart and ultra serious intelligence officer. SUPPORTING

 

[MisterHero]

Rogue!?

Do it

 

[Rvaan]

One of them has to be Magik

 

[Pandora012]

Rogue?!?!

But wait....the movie will most likely be bad....but I want to see Rogue...I'm conflicted.

Edit : I guess no Rogue then....

 

[Stinkles]

Shatterstar, Slipstream, Stacy X, Skin, Ink, Cypher, Beak, Lifeguard, and obviously X-Treme.

 

[cartographer]

The number of lead characters mentioned combined with other casting news makes this seem like a stuffed movie.

 

[Hickbilly Deluxe]

In for Dazzler and hopefully Gambit.

 

[Blader]

The number of lead characters mentioned combined with other casting news makes this seem like a stuffed movie.

Most of these characters are going to be the standard 3-second cameo you've seen in every other X-Men movie. They probably won't even be given names on screen.

 

[Rvaan]

In for Dazzler and hopefully Gambit.

Unless they can that Gambit movie I doubt he shows up here.

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

How do I try out? I could be Hoover

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

How do I try out? I could be Hoover

We all could be Hoover. Generic man # 3172.

 

[DeathyBoy]

PRESIDENT ANDERSON] Male or Female, 50s-60s, open to all ethnicities. A powerful, strong and positive leader with a commanding presence and voice. An honest leader and good role model, they are truly committed to making the world a better place. When pushed, they know they must make difficult decisions to keep the people safe…SUPPORTING

They're really stretching ways to bring Michael Fassbender back as Magneto...

 

[7Th]

One of them has to be Magik

She is already in New Mutants in a lead role.

 

[LordRaptor]

That casting call is for The Hellfire Club, right?

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

We all could be Hoover. Generic man # 3172.

So I've got a shot. Who do I call?

 

[Skinny Pete]

One of them has to be Magik

She's been cast for the New Mutants. The girl from the Witch is playing her.

 

[timberger]

[LUNA] Female, Mid-Late 20s, open to all ethnicities. Beautiful, could possibly have a severe look. Luna is intense and exudes a sense of power. Although she is a commanding presence, she is also slightly unhinged….SUPPORTING

Deathbird.

 

[What did he mean by this?]

Which of these is Gladiator

 

[Fancyarcher]

Most of these characters are going to be the standard 3-second cameo you've seen in every other X-Men movie. They probably won't even be given names on screen.

I imagine a few of them will be giving scenes and even involved in the finale like in Apocalypse, but most of them will be just be one scene characters involved at the Xavier mansion or something.

 

[Hickbilly Deluxe]

Unless they can that Gambit movie I doubt he shows up here.

A man can dream. 😔

 

[RedHill]

Ugh, why even have Rogue if you're gonna make her six?

 

[Pandora012]

Ugh, why even have Rogue if you're gonna make her six?

Continuity means nothing. Just have her show up in her 20s, for reasons. That said, while I would love to see her, not sure if i'd want her to be used in this future dumpster fire.
