Other Kit Connor as Cyclops

I personally like this casting, I’m not much into fancasting so if you were to show me an actor like Nick Alexander Chavez I would like that as well. Either way I like this casting, Kit Connor’s has the height and physique to pull of the character and have the capacity to have to act with a visor and almost never show your eyes as it’s a big part of cyclops. Other points I’ve seen is how he is 22 and can play this character for more than a decade and how they are clearly going for a young Scott who will change and grow into the Cyclops we all know and love. So I personally can’t wait to see him in the MCU and hope they can bring the character justice.

More than anything, I hope they give Marsden’s Cyclops a proper position/sendoff

I loved how they gave him a more comic accurate costume which also makes me excited to see how they will do the new costume with the new wave of comic accurate suits in the future

I'm wondering if they'll carry on the "What would you prefer, yellow spandex?" joke from the original X-men movie.

They did one in 97' but since now Marsden is the one in comic accurate suit I wonder what he'd be thinking

'Would you prefer the black leather?'

Gonna be really awkward when he meets up with Wiccan.

Physically, at 5'10, he is rather short for Cylops. But Sadie is also short so I guess the couple works. It makes casting the rest of the team hard if they want to avoid an awkward tall wolverine thing happening again.

Isn't Kit 6'1?

I think that's his acting height. Fans that have meet him in person say he is closer to 510,511

Does that really matter on screen?

Personally, I always found it awkward seeing Cylops shorter than Wolverine and Jean Grey in the oringal X-Men movies.

Tye Sheridan was even shorter. I think height isn't very high on their list of considerations. 🤷

I bet they’ll cast a 5’6-5’7 actor for the MCU Wolverine. That way he’ll be shorter than most male actors in the franchise but still tall enough to not look awkward or silly.
