The X-Men: Fanon Series
 

As a huge fan of the X-Men, from the comics to the film franchise, and due to my possession of more free time, I've decided to undergo a project for entertainment purposes and because I've always had the idea and never done anything with it.

The idea is to adapt the original X-Men comics into a TV series, including the original characters and their stories, obviously adapted to fit the narrative style of a TV series. Inspired by programmes such as Jessica Jones and Daredevil, I thought Netflix would be a good fit so the "show" would live on Netflix (if it was real). I've already got my "cast", the idea is to develop the stories with the help of you guys the fans and then begin to develop scripts. Again this is just for fun, I'm not gonna try and make money out of this because I couldn't even if I tried. For now, here's my cast so far...

Mark Strong as Professor X/Charles Xavier
Ben Mendelsohn as Erik Lehnsherr/Magneto
Joe Cole as Scott Summers/Cyclops
Riley Keough as Jean Grey/Marvel Girl
Rosamund Pike as Moira MacTaggert
Anthony Williams as Warren Worthington III/Angel
Jack Reynor as Hank McCoy/The Beast
Caleb Landry Jones as Bobby Drake/Iceman
Alia Shawkat as Zelda Kurtzberg

There's still more to come casting wise and please if you have any ideas regarding how to work the original comics into a series or actors you'd like to suggest for characters please feel free to comment below.

Thank you.

That's a remarkable idea :)
