- Marvel Studios is rumored to be considering Jack Champion as Cyclops in the X-Men MCU reboot.
- Rumors suggest Marvel is considering younger actors for iconic X-Men roles.
- Fans are divided on the idea of introducing teenage versions of the X-Men in the MCU.
X-Men MCU reboot cast rumors are dropping at a seemingly increasing rate, and the latest one claims Marvel Studios may have found an actor it likes to play Cyclops.
When the X-Men film rights returned to Marvel Studios through Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox, fans were excited by the prospect of seeing fan-favorite characters like Wolverine and Cyclops join Captain America and Thor in the MCU. Most assumed Marvel Studios would reboot the X-Men franchise with new actors in the mutant roles. However, Marvel Studios has used the Multiverse Saga to bring back actors from Fox’s X-Men movies instead, most notably Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in Deadpool and Wolverine. Still, Kevin Feige teased a new age of X-Men after Avengers: Secret Wars, leading most to assume new versions of the iconic mutants will be introduced.

Kraven the Hunter was another box office flop for Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, but one actor is taking it in stride thanks to his more successful film.
Scooper MyTimeToShineHello now claims Marvel Studios is considering Jack Champion for the role of Cyclops in the X-Men MCU reboot. Champion is perhaps best known for his role in Avatar: The Way of Water as Miles “Spider” Socorro, the son of Stephen Lang’s Colonel Miles Quaritch and inseparable friend of Jake and Neytiri’s family. He also played what turned out to be a key role in Scream 6. It should be noted that this X-Men rumor has not been confirmed or denied by official sources, so fans should remain skeptical.
This Cyclops casting rumor follows claims that Stranger Things star Sadie Sinkie is being eyed for the role of Jean Grey. As such, fans have noticed that (assuming these rumors are true), Marvel Studios intends to introduce a young version of the X-Men. Sink and Champion are both in their early 20s (22 and 20, respectively) while Famke Janssen was 36 and James Marsden was 27 when they debuted as Jean Grey and Cyclops, respectively, in the 2000 X-Men movie. This decision to potentially introduce young versions of the X-Men has divided some fans.
On Twitter, there was a solid mix of those who approved of Champion playing Cyclops and those were would prefer someone else. The possibility of seeing teenage X-Men in the MCU yielded passionate responses. Some fans are adamantly against the idea, wanting an adult version of the team, while others said fans should trust that Feige’s casting decisions would be appropriate.
Assuming this rumor has any validity, it’s far from guaranteed that Champion is Marvel Studios’ definitive choice to play Cyclops in the X-Men MCU reboot. MyTimeToShineHello claims Marvel Studios is only “considering” Champion for the role, which could mean they only floated his name among many others. Marvel Studios hasn’t announced a new X-Men movie yet, so unless the new versions of the mutants appear in Avengers: Doomsday and/or Avengers: Secret Wars, the studio isn’t likely to settle on actors for these roles any time soon. There’s plenty of time to cast the new X-Men. Besides, for the time being, Marvel Studios is seemingly focused on giving the Fox-era X-Men a fitting farewell.
Marvel Studios’ X-Men is in development.
