Laurence Fishburne is pitching himself to play Professor Charles Xavier in the MCU's version of the X-Men: 'What do you think about Laurence Fishburne as Professor X?'
I’m curious how they will handle certain character origins going forward.
For example Magneto’s history with the Holocaust is important to his character. A Magneto without that connection would be a different character. However those events ending ~80 years ago, plus 10 years so you have a young boy old enough to understand what is going on… you end up with a 90 year old Magneto.
Given that Magneto and Prof X should be similar in age… A new/unique origin for both characters sorta makes sense. Of course at that point you probably just have new characters entirely. Also there is no way we don’t have our tent pole mutants in the MCU, at least when it starts.
But! If Secret Wars has us mashing universes together. Maybe, like the Fantastic Four, mutants come from a world where similar events happen later, or they come from a different point in history.
Also means you can custom fit the new universe to match whomever you cast in certain roles. So if Laurence Fishburn Prof X needs to have a certain history, he can have it.

thats why macavoy and fassbender works, and ian mckellen and and patrick stewart, they are almost around the same ages.
laurance doesnt have the comic or film accurate build.
