I hope Cavil is playing Hyperion .

 

[Borgminister]

Denzel? The Marvel Equalizer?

 

[Nerys Myk]

Denzel is 67. Not sure what character he could play. But my mom is a big fan, so it might get her to see a Marvel movie.

 

[Reverend]

Denzel? The Marvel Equalizer?

My money would be on Charles Xavier.

Blue Marvel.

 

[M'rk son of Mogh]

Blue Marvel.

That would be my hope as well. He'd be great at that. Then again, he'd do well whatever they cast him as.

 

[Samurai8472]

My money would be on Charles Xavier.

That would be the most imposing Charles Xavier cast. He's also played Malcolm X so the parallels between Xavier and Malcolm X would be magnified.

I thought the idea was that Xavier was Martin Luther King and Magneto was Malcolm X.

 

[Sketcher]

Sweet, Denzel for Magneto.

 

[Mr. Adventure]

My money would be on Charles Xavier.

hmm, intriguing idea

 

[The Nth Doctor]

My money would be on Charles Xavier.

Sweet, Denzel for Magneto.

PLOT TWIST: What if he plays both?!

 

[M'rk son of Mogh]

Isn't Blue Marvel the only character they don't have cast for an Ultimates team? We have a (new) Black Panther, America Chavez, Rambeau and Carol Danvers... Denzel as Blue Marvel would be the only missing piece to that puzzle.

 

[JD]

My money would be on Charles Xavier.

That was my first thought as well.

 

[Nerys Myk]

I think Esposito would be better as Xavier.
As for Blue Marvel, not sure would Marvel would want a Marvel not connected to Captain Marvel,

 

[The Nth Doctor]

I think Esposito would be better as Xavier.

Same here. I rather see Esposito play against type. Washington has done both so it matters less for him.

Plus, it would avoid the inevitable Malcom/Professor X memes.

What do you mean by this? (Genuine question)

Ah, got it. Good question. Though Ms. Marvel is only connected by being a fan. He could be, too!

Well that's kinda the thing; Magneto basically is Malcom X, and Denzel has already done that. I'd be more interested to play Charles as more of a Dr. King.

I think Esposito would be better as Xavier.

That rather depends on how one chooses to characterise Erik. Esposito's heavies are usually the intense monologing types, but what if they played him as being more charming and charismatic? This is a guy that's meant to be rallying mutants to his cause, no?

Cavil in the MCU would be amazing. Wouldnt mind if he played a villian.
