Now comes word (via Deadline) that Kit Connor — best known for the Netflix series Heartstopper — who is “the choice” to play Cyclops. Of course, there already is a Cyclops, and in fact he will appear in a movie later this year. That’s the one played in the first trilogy of X-Men movies of the 2000s by James Marsden. Marvel’s first X-Men movie does not have an official release date. But if you’ve seen Spider-Man: Brand New Day, you know that it is clearly on its way eventually.
