Banshee
You know, in retrospect, some of Cillian Murphy’s best work sees him playing characters from his homeland. For instance, he starred opposite just about any other famous Irish actor you could think of in the 2003 ensemble dramedy Intermission, and he played an IRA member caught up in an arms deal gone wrong in the rollicking action comedy Free Fire (also starring Captain Marvel herself, Brie Larson) in 2016. If only he could be cast in a Marvel movie as a character from the Emerald Isle, it would be a match made in Heaven.
In fact, having the actor (born in Douglas, Cork, Ireland) as the Irish-born Sean Cassidy (otherwise known as Banshee) would be a massive improvement on how the sonic screamer was portrayed in X-Men: First Class in 2011. I do not mean to say that Caleb Landry Jones’ performance was bad, but I do not approve of needlessly making the character American. While it would require taking a few liberties with his age, putting Cillian Murphy in the role for whenever the MCU brings the X-Men back onto the big screen would be the most accurate portrayal of Banshee yet.
