I think most of the casting will not be a problem, the main one is Wolverine, since Jackman did such a great job for 17 years. Who could they possibly find to replace him?

That’s a tough one. I’ve got a friend who insists Marvel should go the theatre route and make new stars (like Hugh Jackman). I’m all for that theoreticaly, but you need an anchor. Someone recognizable to the general movie audiences. In the end, it’s all about the characters. I’ve owned Infinity War on digital for 2 weeks, and I keep watching it over and over. Not because I think it’s the greatest movie ever, but because of how invested I find myself in all of the characters. This is what drives the MCU, and where Fox failed with their movies. They made you care about Wolverine, Professor X, Magneto, and to some extent Mystique, but the rest I could never find myself caring too much about. Call me old school, but I want to care about my characters. I want to see the love Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben have for each other. I want Charles to show us why he believes in Scott Summers so much, and why the X-Men are willing to die for Professor X’s dream. I’m a sucker for all of this. Lol.
