Cyclops should be the leader of the MCU's X-Men.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Marvel Cinematic Universe will debut its version of the X-Men in the future, and thanks to the animated Disney+ series X-Men '97 making Cyclops a prominent character once again, a lot of attention has turned to the hero's casting. Cyclops has been mainly been played by two actors in live-action.
9 Jake Lacy The Star Has The Energy To Pull Off Scott Summers Close Jake Lacy is a skilled actor in both the comedy and the drama departments. One of his most famous early roles came as Pete in the later seasons of The Office, with the actor first showing his deadpan style of humor in the series. In projects like The White Lotus, Apples Never Fall, and A Friend of the Family, Lacy has shown his range.
Claflin could bring both sides of the character to life perfectly. Two of his popular roles show how. As Mycroft in Enola Holmes, the actor played a stickler to the rules that serves as a taste of what his Cyclops could be like when in contact with Charles Xavier or on the field. As Finnick Odair in The Hunger Games franchise, Claflin showed an unpredictable flair that could add a sense of fun to Cyclops, like in X-Men '97.
However, it is in a more quiet role that Amell truly shines. In the comedy series Upload, Amell fully displays his leading man talents. His character, Nathan, is a charismatic lead who starts out as solely driven by his work but mellows out thanks to his family and friends. Amell could make Cyclops a nuanced character that is easy to love, excelling in both climatic and light-hearted moments.
After getting pushed to the side in two X-Men movie timelines, Cyclops needs to be a major part of the MCU's story for the mutants. By casting Cavill as Scott Summers, Marvel would be making a statement that Cyclops would be important moving forward, as the fan-favorite actor would be unlikely to go from Superman to the MCU not to play a poignant role.
