After buying 20th Century Fox and reclaiming the movie rights to everyone's favorite mutant superhero team, Marvel announced plans to recast the entire X-Men roster.
We still don't know who will play Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm, and the rest of the gang, but here's our best guess at who Marvel should cast as the 35 best X-Men superheroes and supervillains.
35. Cyclops
Liam Hemsworth is a perfect fit to play Cyclops, while following in his brother Chris' MCU footsteps.

34. kitty pryde
Beanie Feldstein: The Booksmart star has the comedy and acting chops to breathe new life into this fan-favorite mutant.
Karwai Tang / Contributor
33. Jean Grey
Evan Rachel Wood: This Westworld actress proved she can handle a lead role in a sci-fi epic. All she needs to play Jean Grey is the red hair.
Vera Anderson / Contributor
32. Colossus
Noah Centineo: This Netflix rom-com star could help Disney show the world a softer side of this Russian giant.
Phillip Faraone / Stringer
31. Professor X
Natalie Dormer: Hear us out. We’ve already had two men play Charles Xavier, and Dormer’s proven she has the talent (and the head shape) to take on the role.

30. Magneto
Daniel Radcliffe: It’s time for Harry Potter to take on a villainous role, and who better than the master of metal himself?
David M. Benett / Contributor
29. Iceman
Frank Ocean: Can this hip hop legend act? Let’s find out...
Robert Kamau / Contributor
28. Beast
Daveed Diggs: Who better to play the Shakespeare-quoting mutant than the Hamilton breakout talent turned action star?
Vivien Killilea / Stringer
27. forge
Zahn McClarnon: The best choice to play this Native American mutant with the power to invent technology is this Westworld star.

26. Mystique
Ana de Armas: The Knives Out star is ready for her Marvel debut. Let’s see what she can do with X-Men’s favorite shapeshifter.

25. Rogue
Issa Rae: The Insecure star is just … insecure enough to nail the role of Rogue, a mutant whose powers stop her from ever making human contact.
Jim Spellman / Stringer
24. Nightcrawler
Lakeith Stanfield: He might love the Joker, but he's a perfect fit for the blue-skinned mutant Nightcrawler.
Jim Spellman / Stringer
23. Sabertooth
Post Malone: We literally can’t unsee this one. Make it happen, Disney!
Lorne Thomson / Contributor
22. Havoc
Luke Hemsworth: Who better to play Havoc than the brother to Cyclops/Liam Hemsworth.
Gregg DeGuire / Stringer
21. Toad
Ray Park: This isn’t a recast. Park played Toad in the original X-Men movie, but he did such a great job and got so little credit that he deserves another chance at the part.
Albert L. Ortega / Contributor
20. Wolverine
Taran Egerton: Obviously this is the most hotly contested slot on this board, but we’re all for a canonically accurate super-short Wolverine.
Samir Hussein / Contributor
19. Pyro
Dev Patel: This conflicted X-Men villain needs a great actor to define the role. Who better than Dev Patel?
Lia Toby / Contributor
18. Jubilee
Karen Fukuhara: The most annoying X-Man never got her due in Fox’s movies. Let’s fix that by casting this badass from The Boys as the spark-throwing mutant.
David Crotty / Contributor
17. Senator Robert Kelly
Daniel Craig: The James Bond actor proved he could basically do anything with Knives Out. But can he play a xenophobic U.S. senator?
Mark Sagliocco / Stringer
16. Angel
John Boyega: Finn may be done with Star Wars, but he’s got the passion to play this famous X-Men turned supervillain.
NurPhoto / Contributor
15. Banshee
Saoirse Ronan: The Ladybird star has the acting skills and accent to play this superhero with the power of sonic screams.
Joe Maher / Contributor
14. Domino
Lena Waithe: After Westworld, we know Waithe can handle sci-fi action, and she’s got the comedy skills needed to take on this snarky mutant with the power of good luck.
Liliane Lathan / Stringer
13. Cable
Jason Mamoa: Josh Brolin shined as the time-traveling mutant despite his small stature. But next time, let’s find someone with the physique to match Cable’s massive build.
Steve Granitz / Contributor
12. Psylocke
Lana Condor: After a forgotten turn as Jubilee in X-Men: Apocalypse, Condor deserves another shot with a badass character like Psylocke.
Gregg DeGuire / Stringer
11. Gambit
Channing Tatum: Channing’s Gambit movie has been in production hell for as long as we can remember, but Disney would be foolish to recast this one before we ever got to see it happen.
Tristar Media / Contributor
10. Emma Frost
Lili Reinhart: The Riverdale star is a perfect match for the White Queen, whether Marvel decides to play her as a hero, a villain, or something in between.
Axelle/Bauer-Griffin / Contributor
9. Juggernaut
Dwayne Johnson: Just imagine The Rock shouting “I’m the Juggernaut, bitch!” and you’ll be sold on this one.
Josh Jacks/Star Max / Contributor
8. X-23
Camila Mendes: You can’t have Betty without Veronica, right? This Riverdale actress could join her co-star as Wolverine’s clawed clone and adopted daughter.
Toni Anne Barson / Contributor
7. Blob
Kevin James: The king of queens can move on from Paul Blart, Mall Cop to this blubby mutant.
Gary Gershoff / Contributor
6. Apocalypse
Stanley Tucci: The Hunger Games actor had a small role in Captain America: The First Avenger, but we’ll allow it so he can bring his talents to the role of the X-Men’s most dangerous enemy.
David M. Benett / Contributor
5. Omega Red
Henry Cavill: The Witcher star is too busy for a leading role in the MCU, but he’s a perfect choice for this metal tentacle wielding supervillain
Andreas Rentz / Staff
4. Sunfire
Mackenyu Arata: He's got sci-fi experience in Pacific Rim and the Kamen Rider movies, so let's cast him as Sunfire.
Jun Sato / Contributor
3. Mister Sinister
Jon Hamm: Don Draper almost played this terrifying supervillain in a scrapped New Mutants post-credits scene. We won’t rest until that wrong is righted.
Jerod Harris / Stringer
2. thunderbird
Justin Rain: You might recognize him from Fear of the Walking Dead. Could this Canadian First Nations actor take on the role of Thunderbird?
1. storm
Janelle Monae: The musician-turned-actor says she would "love" to play Storm. Who are we to say no to the modern queen of R&B?
