Variety: Kit Connor Is in Talks to Play Cyclops in Marvel's X-Men Reboot
Kit Connor is in talks to play Cyclops in Marvel's X-Men reboot, according to a report from Variety. The report places Connor in discussions for the role, rather than describing a finished deal or a confirmed casting announcement from the studio.
Cyclops is one of the central figures in the X-Men, so casting for the part is a significant early step for a reboot built around Marvel's mutant team. Any choice for the role will help set the direction for the new version of the group as Marvel brings the X-Men into the center of its film plans.
For now, the status described by Variety is talks, which leaves the outcome open. Until Marvel or the actor's representatives confirm an agreement, Connor's involvement should be treated as unconfirmed, with further reporting or an official announcement needed to settle whether he will take the role.
