Agreed...Though if Cameron wants to spend bundles of money, I say let him!

I'd say Harrison Ford, but he may be a bit too old.  Or Mel Gibson...

Wynona Ryder would be perfect for Jubilee!

I don't THINK so!  I like Keanu Reeves, but I just don't think he's right for
Gambit!

I can just see it...the War Room, they're discussing strategy, Cyclops comes
up with a plan, Professor X says, "Make it so."  *big grin*  I love it!

Clint Eastwood and David Carradine are too tall...Remember Wolverine is only 
about 5'5", please... I've got it!  Mel Gibson!!!  We all know how good he
is at the psycho roles... And I _am_ serious!

>Nightcrawler: Alec Baldwin and his brothers have the same facial features,

One gets the feeling we're looking at a Trekkie here... :)  I don't like Alec
Baldwin, though...  Maybe Brent Spiner would work!

>The Blob: Roseanne Arnold, who else? 

Run for your life!!!!!!!!!

>Mystique: Madonnna has the right attitude and she's built. I think she'd
>be a kick butt White Queen.

I'd rather see Madonna as White Queen than Mystique...Julia Roberts, maybe, as
Mystique?  *grin*

>Shadowcat: Winona Ryder?

No, I don't think so...Ummmm...Maybe the person who plays Gabrielle on 90210?  
(I don't watch it, but my sister does and she makes sure I know what's going 
on, much to my dismay...)

>Iceman: Dennis Quaid is a bit old, but he has the boyish good looks.

Agreed.  Or Emilio Estevez.  Or how about Kiefer Sutherland?

>Forge: Lou Diamond Phillips, but he seems too young. How about the guy
>who played Wind In His Hair in "Dances With Wolves?"

Either one would be terrific...

Good choice...

Come to think of it, Kiefer Sutherland is good at the villianous roles...maybe
he could be Pyro!  He could also do Havok...

Other ideas:

Sean Connery as Magneto.

Cary Elwes as Havok.

Ummmm....Wil Wheaton as Jamie Madrox...get the annoyance factor down pat! :)
