X-Men: 6 actors we want to see play Nightcrawler in the MCU

4. Rami Malek

When it comes to interesting actors, Rami Malek is definitely someone to consider. There is something about Malek that makes him stand out from the crowd in all of the best ways. And not only that, but he has proven time and time again that he knows how to be a scene-stealer.

One thing we absolutely want to see from our next X-Men superhero team is a group of actors who really seem to be less conventional. We want actors who have already proven their ability to be unique and maybe even a bit more eccentric.

Thanks to the roles that Rami Malek has already taken on in his career, he has proven that he has what it takes to be a chameleon and really embrace any character that he is bringing to our screens. Plus, he has already shown us that he doesn’t always have to step into more serious roles and he knows how to bring even the smallest hints of levity to a scene. It is absolutely believable to have him step into the role of a mutant superhero. And we can absolutely see him taking on a more interesting mutant, such as Nightcrawler.

There really is something about Malek that makes us believe that he could step into the world of the X-Men and be a mutant with superstrength, the ability to crawl on the walls and basically save the world. And let’s not forget that he has already proven that he can play off of Robert Downey Jr., thanks to his role in Oppenheimer, and if ever there was an actor who truly embodied the world of the MCU, it would have to be RDJ!
