Kit Connor is officially joining the MCU. This announcement has revived talks about another Marvel role many fans never wanted Connor to play. Why didn’t Kit Connor fans want the Heartstopper actor to play Hulkling in the MCU? Before being cast as Cyclops, Kit Connor was often rumored to play Hulkling in the MCU (a role he ultimately didn’t play).
