While many were not thrilled about the news of Page’s addition, others saw it as a unique idea that could actually be great for the movie.
Interesting, I wonder what role. They have to be careful about picking the right one, but I think if they pick right, Elliott could actually be a phenomenal pick.
Honestly, un ironically, I think Morph or a character known for changing genders could be incredible.

and Harris Dickinson as Cyclops. But the most electrifying, and unexpected, whisper in the casting corridors is none other than Denzel Washington being considered for the role of Magneto, a move that would undoubtedly redefine the character’s on-screen legacy. This, along with the possibility of Elliot Page securing a major role only adds another layer of intrigue to Marvel’s famously secretive strategy. As the studio remains tight-lipped, fans eagerly await official confirmations to see if these dream castings become a reality.
