Kit Connor could be heading from the rugby pitch straight into Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters. Fresh reporting from Deadline suggests that Marvel Studios is eyeing Kit Connor to play Scott Summers, better known as Cyclops, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s upcoming X-Men film. Speaking to an enthusiastic crowd, Feige confirmed that Avengers: Secret Wars will be followed by a brand-new X-Men film. Avengers: Secret Wars is currently scheduled to arrive on December 27, 2027, with Feige saying the mutants will make their long-awaited MCU debut immediately afterward. If Connor joins as Cyclops, the core of the next X-Men team could already be falling into place.
