Giancarlo Esposito has expressed interest in the role of Charles Xavier/Professor X.I can honestly see it.

Originally? Please. Originally, Mags was just a generic villain.As for what happened many, many years later; Claremont already elaborated on it:
Meh I prefer the Malcolm and Martin analogy, as it includes Xavier's perspective as well. That's certainly what X-Men First Class was inspired from (the film), which is still one of the best comic book movies ever made IMO.
In any case the Holocaust was just too long ago now, so unless we want them to be 100 years old, harking back the Civil Rights movement would suit Eric better for a new film.
Superman is one of the first and one of the most popular superheroes.
And his core fanbase consists of Trumptards, who were raging even back when his son, Jon, was revealed to be bisexual. They are quite vocal.
But that doesn't mean we need to welcome all the race swapping and gender swapping all of a sudden. It's lazy and inexcusable.
Agreed that the vocal retarded minority, gets the attention.
But if we can accept Giancarlo Esposito as Prof X and Denzel Washington as Magneto, why not his son John David Washington as Superman? Actors are supposed to act as other people, so it's said.
I personalty hope they revamp Magneto's backstory, as him being a Holocaust survivor greatly limits the actor selection if this is going to be set in modern times. That or add to his powerset and make it that he ages slower. A Mark Strong Magneto could be great.
