EW reports that Josh said, “We’re gonna see another Charles, another Kitty, probably before too long, perhaps. Depending on what you read on the internet, I’ve heard Colman Domingo. I’ve heard Bella Ramsey. I’ve heard a lot of different names. I don’t know if you follow that or you hear that. What do you make of those names or, just generally, the idea of someone inheriting the mantle of these characters from you?”
Elliot said he’s “absolutely” on board with those casting suggestions.
“I don’t really follow [the casting rumors], but they sound fantastic. I mean, it’d be just so exciting to see people do a take on a new iteration [of X-Men],” Elliot said.
James added, “Look, I’m excited to see what happens next. I was a fan before I was an employee and I’ll be a fan again! You want it to be…I just can’t wait for it to be…Oh no, that was going to sound bad. It’s going to put a lot of pressure on people. Colman Domingo sounds amazing, though!”
Both James and Elliot want to see Hugh Jackman continue as Wolverine though!
