5. Grant Gustin

If you loved The CW’s DC Universe, then you probably have a soft spot for Grant Gustin. And considering Gustin spent years playing The Flash, it just seems fitting that he might end up in the MCU at some point. But how might he make the leap from being the Scarlet Speedster for the DCU and move over to the MCU?

Well in my mind, he remains a speedster. Only instead of being the Scarlet Speedster, he takes on the role of the Silver Speedster instead.

If ever there was a role that seemed perfectly suited to Grant Gustin, it would have to be that of Quicksilver. We already believe that the actor can be a superhero with super speed and plenty of angst in his life. So why not take all of that and make it even more official, but on the big screen?

We already know that he can play a hero and a villain. We know that he can be a part of a team and he can be a leader. So why not give him one of the ultimate superhero teams to be a part of? He is exactly who and what the X-Men need. And while there may be other roles that he could take on, are any of them quite as perfect as that of Quicksilver? I think not!

Grant Gustin deserves his time to shine as a big screen superhero and being a part of the X-Men might just be the perfect opportunity to make that happen.
