3. Dacre Montgomery

Dacre Montgomery was never really given a chance to prove that he could be a superhero with the Power Rangers, so we would love to see him get a better chance with the X-Men. Honestly, after his turn on Stranger Things, Montgomery has proven that he is a versatile actor with the ability to be both good and bad in equal measure.

Can he be a tortured hero? Absolutely. Can he lead a team of heroes? Yes, he can. Do we want to see him do that with mutant powers? Hands down, the answer is yes.

Of all the members of the X-Men that we think the actor could take on, Iceman is definitely at the top of the list. He definitely has a screen presence that is hard to ignore and he knows how to deliver a grounded performance that would be fitting for Bobby Drake.

We can easily see Montgomery being a reluctant hero turned leading member of a team of other heroes. He has the kind of charisma that would make him hard to ignore on screen. And at the same time, we know that he can bring a level of attitude that would make Iceman hard to forget.

The fact that he has already showcased an ability to be a hero is all the proof I need that he would be an excellent addition to the MCU. And he would definitely be a perfect fit for a new class of X-Men.
