Downton Abbey Characters Meet Their X-Men Counterparts

After six seasons of watching the Crawley family navigate the trials and tribulations, it is time to bid them a fond farewell.

Most recently, former cast member Dan Stevens (Matthew Crawley) will be starring in the X-Men spin off show Legion, as professor Xavier’s son, David. With that information, we started to wonder what other characters would be wandering the halls of Downton if they were all X-Men.
