@jacobfordridgway: Comics AND movies are genres invented by Jewish people who weren’t allowed into the mainstream arts at the time, yet somehow the comic book movie, even when the character is ABOUT the Jewish experience, has no regard for inclusion
personally i’m a fan of lee pace as him but when you said daveed diggs, something awoke inside of me

Lee Pace is the only one of the 3 that even fits the role. Cavill is a terrible idea and Matt Smith is just.. no.

Can you find a Jewish actor that checks the boxes for Magneto that ISN’T a Zionist? Cause I’ve tried. The ones that aren’t Zionists don’t fit for Magneto or are too old. There a lot of Jewish actors in the MCU, I think it’s ok to have a non Jewish actor play Magneto.

I just refuse to believe Henry Cavill is actually in the running. That’s so laughably horrible of a casting

To be clear, you would rather have Daniel Radcliffe play magneto than Lee Pace?

you think it’s weird for a non jewish actor to be paid millions to play a jewish character but it’s quite literally happened twice and it was a perfect casting

easilystartled :
are they going to write magneto as a Holocaust survivor for this movie, though? isn't that becoming a little unsustainable in movies set 90 years after the Holocaust?

They were able to get a Jewish actor to play Ben Grimm in first steps! They most definitely can do so for magneto!

They're fucking marvel, they can find & afford whoever they want! it's like the argument that it'd be too hard to cast an afro-latino kid to play a live action Miles Morales, just hold the auditions in fucking Brooklyn!

You had no problem with gay Christian portraying Magneto for the past 26 years? Then a half German portrayed Magneto? Nothing? Now you have a problem it's not a Jewish actor?

I beg of you to talk about the importance of Kitty Pryde being Jewish as the first Jewish heroine in comics and the first Jewish hero in comics that was Jewish from conception (Ben Grimm was not confirmed until 2004 despite Kirby’s history with the character). The fancasts people are throwing around are wild

I saw someone suggest Morgan Spector and it’s one of the best choices I’ve seen. He’s Jewish and like the actor X-men actor they got, he had broadway theatre training.
