That argument only holds up if the film were being marketed on the characters, which is not the case since it's usually done to supporting players. And more specifically, it's Domino, a C-list character most of the audience likely has little familiarity with unless they were super into X-Force in the 90s, so using her name to "sell" a part for a black actor also doesn't hold up under examination. Open casting has been a thing in theater forever and is not unheard of in movies either. Sofia Boutella, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Lizzy Caplan and even Sylvia Hoeks from Blade Runner 2049 were all in the running for the part before it went to Beetz.



Yeah I'm trying to fill some holes in my Avengers and X-Men line-ups and was wondering if you guys had a suggestion for which would be the ideal picks for Cyclops, Beast, Iceman and Angel, especially among the ToyBiz offerings.

If your trying to build a good x team... it’s really a pain in the ass. Which era? What line up? Bald bishop, or mullet? A lot of hard questions o examine. Personally I’m going all hasbro for my x men, (except the mojo and sentinel BAFs which are just about perfect) my preferred cyclops is the warlock wave Jim Lee design, beast, I’m waiting on, you know hasbro is going to do a new one soon. Ice man I went with the juggernaut wave one and archangel from the hit monkey wave is stupid high priced, so I’m hopping he gets a redo in the next few years. There was a box set of the new/original team from TRU a few years ago if that’s your preferred look... has anyone tried to swap the bird wings from that set to the Archangel body? Just wonder if there’d fit.
