Ok. So we’ve got a pretty good director in Matthew Vaughn (Kick-Ass). And he wants to tackle the story of the X-Men’s first ever class. Cool, but who’s gonna take part? For now we’ve got Magneto (Michael Fassbender), check. We’ve got Charles Xavier (James McAvoy), check. We’ve got Emma Frost (Alive Eve), check. Apparently, we can now add someone to the already pretty good roster: Cyclops.
AICN has received a tip from a source referring to himself as “Son of Rothman” saying that Johnson will play Scott Summers, better known as Cyclops, in the upcoming Fox film. The source claims that the news is “one hundred percent locked at this point,” and it has been known for a while that Vaughn was planning on recasting the role, not using Tim Pocock who played the part in X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
I have no problem with this. Johnson was pretty good in the lead role in Kick-Ass. Although I thought his character was the least interesting of the story, he did ok. So what about him as Cyclops? I can see him doing it, he has the perfect age for the role right now. Plus, add that Vaughn already directed him once. So it’s all good. The rosters is shaping up to be a pretty good one.
Question: Do you think Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) does an appearance? I mean, he should be in his Jackman form already for the timeline of this film right? What do you guys think?
