2. Ewan McGregor

Fans adore Ewan McGregor for his remarkable versatility as an actor. If we’re being honest, it wasn’t always that way, which is pretty insane. After his role in Star Wars divided some audiences, he has become a treasure fans want to see on the big screen.

His chameleon-like ability to transform himself into different characters captivates audiences, leaving them in awe. McGregor adapts to any role he takes on with ease. We’ve seen him wield a lightsaber, belt out lyrics in Moulin Rouge and fight off nightmarish entities in Doctor Sleep. Oh, and let’s not forget the fantastic performance he put on in Birds of Prey as Black Mask, gone too soon.

From his charismatic charm in romantic comedies to his intense dedication to dramatic films, McGregor’s range knows no bounds. Fans understand the greatness that is McGregor’s acting prowess.

Now, imagine him as the leading man in an X-Men film, playing the role of Professor X. He’d bring out all the qualities fans want from Professor X. No, he wouldn’t be the seasoned leader we’ve seen Patrick Stewart play. His version would resemble a youthful version of Professor X, but that doesn’t mean the rest of the X-Men would be teens. Instead, McGregor could play two versions of Charles, should they want to do flashbacks or a miniseries. Yes, I’ll keep pursuing the idea.
