Marvel fans cast Bryce Dallas Howard as an X-Men key player

Recently, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman’sDeadpool & Wolverineincreased the hype for what the future of the X-Men could look like. While Marvel has stayed rather mum on their plans, a digital artist onInstagram, Daniel Savage, took it upon himself to create the most accurate fan casting: Bryce Dallas Howard as the powerful mutant, Jean Grey.

The concept art showed Howard in a striking blue and gold suit with some hints of red. Although it did not completely fit the bill of the mutant’s usual outfits, the star was surrounded by hues of purple as she reined in her telepathic powers. With the 43-year-old’s red hair, light eyes, and jaw-dropping facial features, she wound up being a fan favorite pick for Jean Grey.

Who do fans want Sydney Sweeney to play in the X-Men?

Earlier this year,MCU fans were let downwhen Sydney Sweeney debuted her first superhero role inMadame Web. Even though she played an iteration of Spider-Man, Julia Cornwall, not everyone was happy about it. In fact, after that fans called for the 27-year-old to be cast as Black Cat in Tom Holland’sSpider-Man 4. However, they ended up changing their minds again.

Instead of playing the daughter of a world-renowned cat burglar, Walter Hardy, fans onRedditwanted Sweeney to play the X-Men’s Emma Frost. The casting could bring a fresh, captivating take on the iconic character once played by January Jones. With the actress demonstrating the ability to embody layered, emotionally intense characters, the White Queen of the Hellfire Club could be perfect for her. However, some fans believe the actress might be too young to play the part.
