I can't think of a single actor who's been floated for a wider variety of superhero roles than Efron.

Colin Salmon seems like he'd be better for Apocalypse. He would be imposing already and would have a booming voice.

Storm- Clare-Hope A****ey
Gambit- Nathan Parsons
Rogue- Bessie Carter
Beast- Naveen Andrews
Jubilee- Kelly Marie Tran
Jean Grey- Lauren Cohan
Cyclops- Josh Dallas
Magneto- Charles Dance
Polaris- Andrea Brooks
Lila Cheney- Jeanine Mason
Professor Charles Xavier- Colin Salmon
Wolverine- Ben McKenzie
Bella Donna Boudreaux- Ksenia Solo
Pyro- Nick Robinson
Avalanche- Michael Vlamis
Iceman- Chandler Riggs
Blob- Jorge Garcia
Toad- Robbie Kay
Mystique- Morena Baccarin
Sabretooth- Pablo Schreiber

I'm glad to see Tobias Menzies get some recognition. I've liked him as an actor since Rome. I also like the choices for Scott and Jean individually but I think they should be closer to age. Either the actor for Jean should be a bit older or, ideally, the one for Scott younger. Although I have a surprisingly hard time trying to think of good, charismatic, twenty-something male actors.

That's the issue I had as well, so I just went with the actor who I feel would make a good Cyclops for the purpose of this cast list , even if he's in his late 30s.

If I think of an actor closer to Zoey's age, I'll make an updated cast with the new Cyclops.
 
I like Frodo's list above, save for Henwick as Psylocke and Hafthor for Juggs. He's too on the nose, and has never shown he has any acting ability, and she just kind of annoys me in everything

I also like Lakeith Stanfield for Gambit, but I haven't seen Billie Lourd in enough to judge whether she could pull off Rogue
 
Plus Henwick's already been in the MCU anyway, and if the other actors returning is any indication, I don't see why she wouldn't as well. Unless Marvel and Disney just wanted a complete do-over on Iron Fist.
 
Henwick was up for a role in Shang Chi, so Feige and co didn't consider her off limits just because she did Iron Fist on Netflix , so that's not really a hinderance as far as Marvel is concerned.
