Building off the hype of Stranger Things season 2, see what the young stars could look like in iconic X-Men roles. Over the last two years, the kids of Stranger Things have become the darlings of Hollywood, and many of them have or are going to start appearing in many other projects. While they're still going to be involved with Stranger Things as it continues, Millie Bobby Brown has joined a few big projects, and Finn Wolfhard was a standout in IT.
Thanks to their already large fan followings, many have begun to look ahead to the future to think about other roles these kids could grow into. Now that rumors of Disney and Fox discussing a deal that would bring the X-Men into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a reboot may be needed. If so, this fan art puts many of the stars in pivotal roles.

Digital artist BossLogic did a series of X-Men related designs that put the stars of Stranger Things in new roles where they all get superpowers, not just Brown. The results are quite convincing with Brown tapped to play the new Jean Grey, Wolfhard as Cyclops, Gaten Matarazzo as Beast, Noah Schnapp as Iceman, and Caleb McLaughlin as Bishop. Take a look:

Not only is the art convincing that each star could take on these roles, but the pieces also do a great job at fan casting the stars. The movies have already focused heavily on Jean Grey, Cyclops, Beast, and Iceman, but as pivotal members of the X-Men in the comics, Marvel Studios would surely want to do their attempt at bringing these beloved characters to life in their own way. The Disney/Fox deal is a long ways away from happening, but if it does, casting these kids would be a great choice to reinvigorate interest in the X-Men.
Unlike some of BossLogic's previous work that is based on reports/rumors of specific actors being eyed for specific roles, these designs have no rumors backing them, so fans shouldn't get too attached to the idea of the Stranger Things stars taking on these roles. If it would happen, people would surely be pleased with the announcement, but there are so many different options Marvel could take if they get the chance. Plus, there is no telling if these kids would want to jump into an extensive contract to play these characters for years to come right after dedicating much of their time to Stranger Things.
