The question is not if he would do it, which I believe wholeheartedly he wouldn't do. Just because he's never done a popcorn film like this. And he's never signed to do more than one movie for the same character. It's never happened in his career.

The question I ask, would you like see DDL do these kind of films?


With Thunderbolts* director Jake Schreier set to direct Marvel Studios' X-Men reboot, the rumour mill continues churning out possible names for the highly anticipated movie (which, for what it's worth, we've heard is currently being referred to as Uncanny X-Men internally at the studio).

We're not putting too much stock into any of these casting claims, but following this past week's Professor X and Jean Grey rumours, there's a possible update on the MCU's Magneto.

According to scooper @MyTimeToShineH, Marvel Studios is eyeing three-time Oscar winner Sir Daniel Day-Lewis for the role of the Master of Magnetism. Would he ever really consider a superhero movie role? We wouldn't bank on it, though the same might have once been said for Sir Ian McKellen.

It's worth noting that this comes after the insider said, "No new [X-Men] cast will be introduced in the upcoming Avengers films, because the focus is on giving closure to the original characters. Casting hasn’t started yet because director Jake Schreier hasn’t officially signed on. That’s why Sadie Sink isn’t playing Jean Grey."

"That said, there are three roles Kevin Feige has specific actors (or at least types) in mind for: Xavier, Magneto, and Storm. The names he’s considering feel a bit too big to actually land, but you’ll see — I’ll mention them soon. Aside from those three, I haven’t heard of any other actors being considered yet,"
they added.
 
Isn't magneto supposed to be a left hand black tranny midget in the upcoming movie? That would be some interesting method acting.
 
I don't think DDL will do it but it would be wild if he signed on. DDL was always my Magneto fancast waaay back in 2013.

He would make a better Sabertooth, imo. Craig is too old and doesn't have the physicality and presence the role demands. Besides, Alan just has to snarl his lines.

If you click my quote, it will lead you to a post that was made in 2013. You will also see my entire fancast for the X-Men members. So yeah, most of my casting choices back then are not applicable in 2025 or beyond. ;)
 
If he was going to do Marvel he should of been Doom. That wpuld have been the best thing for .marvel as the man just knocks any role out the ball park. And Soom was the role they couldn't miss with ......... what's marvel do they they take out their bat an hit self in head picking Iron Man. If DDL wants in take it from RDJ and put him somewhere else. Give doom to DDL
 
DDL in a comic book film?
Never thought I would ever see the day.
 
As much as I’d love this I doubt itl happen. DDL barely acts as it is, and each time he does he retires again. I just don’t see him coming out of retirement for a multi film commitment like this.
 
Dear god, no. No more super hero movies, no more reboots, no more sequels, no more prequels, no more origin stories, no more character knockoffs, nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo moooooooooooooooooooooooooooore

I grew up on the comics that they are basing most of these movies on and I liked some of the movies. But ...... I am done, no excitement or interest anymore.

Also I thought DDL retired from acting
 
Highly doubt it. The type of actor DDL is, I don't think he'd be interested in a franchise like the MCU is, despite the massive success. Now I'd give major props to Kevin Feige if he were to secure him in that role but again, I don't see it happening unless DDL is simply wanting to cash checks.
 
I thought he was retired?
