Jacob Elordi as Angel

Warren Worthington III got a little shine in the original trilogy when he was played by Ben Foster. Foster did a good job with the minimal role given to him. Unfortunately, he was thrown into a storyline that revolved around the Mutant Cure. Unlike the comics, Angel didn’t fight side-by-side with the X-Men. Instead, he came later after he decided not to take the cure, making him part of the same class as Rogue, Colossus, Kitty, and Iceman.

We got a chance to see Angel again in the revised timeline. He wasn’t an American, and he was born at least a decade before the old timeline. Yeah, talk about confusing. It didn’t matter much since he didn’t get an origin story and was thrown into the mutant fight club scene. Eventually, Warren became Apocalypse’s lacky, but it’s time for Angel to get a proper origin story.

Angel was a hero before joining the X-Men. He’s a spoiled pretty boy who isn’t afraid of the limelight. Jacob Elordi would take Angel to new heights in the MCU. The 6’5 actor is known for his role in Euphoria, where he plays Nate Jacobs, a rich, spoiled, vain jock. He’d be perfect as Angel, an argument can be made that he’d be perfect for Colossus too.

Imagine Joey King (pictured) playing Kitty Pryde alongside him!
