Kit Connor is set to play the role of the leader of the iconic mutant team in the MCU’s upcoming movie. Why Kit Connor is the ideal long-term Cyclops for Marvel’s X-Men rebootOn the topic of Connor, his fit as Cyclops is a great one for a lot of reasons. For starters, he’s a young and upcoming star in Hollywood. With Connor now set for the role, it hopefully also means that Marvel won’t be repeating a big mistake other live-action iterations of the group have made. Cyclops has appeared in a number of other X-Men live-action movies, and usually is at the forefront of things for the most part.
