While Elizabeth Olsen has brilliantly embodied Scarlet Witch in the MCU, the character’s role as a member of Magneto's Brotherhood opens the door for a fresh interpretation of the character.

With her talent, Demetriou could deliver a portrayal that is both hauntingly powerful and emotionally resonant, solidifying Scarlet Witch as a force to be reckoned with in the mutant universe.

Goggins' extensive experience as a character actor, particularly in science fiction and fantasy genres, showcases his ability to deliver compelling performances within such narratives.
Goggins has previously appeared in the MCU as Sonny Burch, a minor villain in Ant-Man and the Wasp. However, this could provide a seamless opportunity to connect the MCU’s main universe with the MCU’s mutant universe. The MCU's X-Men could reveal that Burch is a variant of Mastermind, potentially weaving his actions into a larger scheme connected in some way to the Brotherhood of Mutants. Goggins' versatility as an actor allows him to embody Mastermind’s cunning and sinister personality, bringing an insidious complexity to the character.

Blob joined and left Magneto's Brotherhood in X-Men #7 but officially rejoined in Amazing Adventures #12. Blob also remained a long-standing member of the Brotherhood during Mystique's leadership.
With Powell’s experience of portraying characters with complex personalities and physicality, Powell would bring a unique dimension to Blob, exploring the character's inner struggles and outer strength. His dedication to character development and commitment to his roles would ensure that Blob is portrayed with nuance and legitimacy, making him a compelling addition to an X-Men movie. With his substantial stature and flare for villainy, Drew Powell would make for a thrilling Blob.

Strong’s ability to command attention in high-octane scenes and convey depth in complex characters makes him an ideal choice for X-Men's Vanisher in the MCU. Strong's performance would imbue Vanisher with a sense of mystery and intrigue, while his action movie expertise ensures electrifying sequences that showcase the character's teleportation abilities. With Strong in the role, Vanisher would emerge as a compelling addition to the MCU’s X-Men franchise.

Diego Calva's striking appearance, coupled with his compelling acting chops, would make him ideal for the role.

With his charm and acting prowess, Calva has the potential to neatly embody the first depiction of Unus, the Untouchable, outside the comics and make him a standout addition to the MCU’s X-Men.
2 Devon Aoki As Lorelei Lorelei Joined The Brotherhood In The Defenders #15 Close Devon Aoki would make a captivating Lorelei in an MCU X-Men movie that featured Magneto's Brotherhood of Mutants. Lorelei was a Savage Land native who Magneto bestowed with the mutant ability to hypnotize people by singing. Her character requires an actress who can exude both mystery and power, which Aoki has previously proved very capable of delivering.

Alpha’s tenure in the Brotherhood of Mutants was very brief, but he was an incredibly consequential character.
Alpha's evolution to a state beyond even homo superior, becoming an otherworldly humanoid with boundless power, requires an actor who can convey both otherness and immense power, traits Carrigan effortlessly embodies. Carrigan’s experience portraying villains in series like Gotham and Barry demonstrates his ability to portray compelling antagonists very adeptly. Carrigan's versatility would allow him to navigate Alpha's journey from creation to transcendence, bringing nuance and gravitas to Alpha, the Ultimate Mutant, becoming a captivating addition to the MCU’s X-Men and the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.
