\n\tMarvel<\/a>\u2018s new X-Men<\/a> team is taking shape. <\/p>\n

\n\tHeartstopper and Warfare actor Kit Connor<\/a> is circling the role of Scott Summers, a.k.a. Cyclops, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter (with Deadline<\/a> first reporting the news).<\/p>\n

\n\tMarvel is assembling a new team of actors for to play mutants in its upcoming X-Men reboot from director Jake Schreier (Thunderbolts). <\/p>\n

\n\tWe\u2019ve previously reported that Samara Weaving (Ready or Not 2: Here I Come) has been eyed for the role of Emma Frost in the film. <\/p>\n

\n\tAs revealed in Spider-Man: Brand New Day (spoiler alert), Sadie Sink has joined the MCU as Jean Grey<\/a> and will presumably be in the film as well.<\/p>\n

\n\tSeveral other actors have hinted they\u2019d be down for roles in the project. Obsession breakout Inde Navarrette said she met with Schreier and expressed interest in playing Mystique. <\/p>\n

\n\tCyclops has been a staple of the X-Men films, having been played by James Marsden in the original X-Men trilogy and 2014\u2019s X-Men: Days of Future Past. Tye Sheridan played the role in several X-Men projects in the 2010s.<\/p>\n

\n\tMarsden is reprising the character in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, which will also feature several other legacy X-Men actors, such as Patrick Stewart (Professor X) and Ian McKellen (Magneto). <\/p>\n

\n\tStudio representatives have had no comment on X-Men casting. Disney has been slowly ramping up to an X-Men movie since it acquired 20th Century Fox\u2019s entertainment assets in 2019, with mutant characters appearing in 2024\u2019s hit Deadpool & Wolverine. <\/p>\n
