Kit Connor is joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe!
The 22-year-old Heartstopper Forever star has reportedly been cast as Cyclops in the upcoming X-Men movie, according to Deadline.
He now joins his Heartstopper co-star Joe Locke in the MCU. Joe, of course, played “Teen” in Agatha All Along, who was then revealed to be Billy Maximoff / William Kaplan, who becomes Wiccan by the end of the series.
The actor is also joining his Warfare co-stars in the MCU, Will Poulter, who played Adam Warlock in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3, and Joseph Quinn, who plays Johnny Storm/Human Torch in The Fantastic Four: First Steps and the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday.
Kit is the latest star to be announced as part of the new X-Men, following Samara Weaving, who was revealed last week, and presumably Sadie Sink as Jean Grey, who was first revealed in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
Jake Shreier is returning to the MCU as director, after previously helming Thunderbolts*.
If you aren’t aware of the lore, Cyclops is a mutant whose eyes emit powerful energy blasts that he can only control with specialized equipment. Known for his disciplined mindset and tactical thinking, he has long served as one of the X-Men’s most dependable leaders in the comics.
James Marsden played the role in the original film trilogy and is returning for Avengers: Doomsday later this year.
Tye Sheridan also played Cyclops in X-Men: Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix.
