Magneto being black is the only way his story might work in modern times being that if he was a victim of the holocaust, he would be well over 100.
I think that's part of the issue that made Fox play themselves when they had Xmen. They were trying to take full advantage of Magnetos backstory and that's what made them do something goofy like set the reboot of the franchise in the 60s and then do every movie a decade later. It was goofy as hell.

If they wanted to set it for that timeframe, why can't Giancarlo just be a mixed Polish muthafukka? That would just double down on him being ostracized, being both mutant and biracial in racist ass Eastern Europe. The movies would have to be set in the 90s to work though or they could just axe that storyline and intertwine Magneto's story with the Civil Rights Movement instead. The only people who really give a fukk about it are MAGAs.

he'd make a better Professor X than Magneto imo. But i hope he gets what he's looking for.
My vote for Magneto will always be Clive Owen. Giancarlo Esposito is a perfect professor X though. I think Javier Bardem would be perfect for Dr. Doom. He has a menacing voice and easily be misconstrued as Latvian.

THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG
WITH THE WAY THEY DID THAT
AND IT LEAD US RIGHT INTO
THE XMEN OF THE 80S & 90S.

THEY COULD HAVE EXECUTED THE
LAST 2 MOVIES BETTER BUT
THE TIMELINE WAS PERFECT
AND SO WERE THE 1ST 2 MOVIES.

So every X-Men movie gotta have a decade between it? Cyclops was a teen in the 60s? that puts him around my dad's age (early 60s).

I hate how they did that.
