A picture speaks a thousand words, but wild speculation speaks a million.
A photo grabbed of James McAvoy and Matthew Vaughn, both attached to X-Men First Class and Dave Lizewski all coming out of or going into some meeting has one website throwing their bid in that Aaron Johnson might be playing a young Scott Summers for First Class.
Filmonic says
The image above, taken by one of those paparazzi types, shows director Matthew Vaughn with James McAvoy and Aaron Johnson (who played Dave Lizewski in Vaughn’s Kick-Ass). This meeting took place last week, and given the recent casting news we can assume Vaughn and McAvoy were taking about X-Men: First Class. So what’s Johnson doing there?
Not saying it won’t happen, but sometimes a lunch is just a lunch.
I would think they might want to use the same actor that played Scott Summers (Tim Pocock) in X-Men Origins Wolverine, as the part in this movie when Charles and Erik recruit their first class of students at Xavier’s Institute for the Gifted would likely take place after the closing scenes in Origins Wolverine where we see Xavier shuttle away some captured students.
However it wouldn’t be the first time an Xman was replaced for subsequent films.
Would you be cool with Aaron Johnson as Cyclops?
Do you think this means anything? Or is it just lunch.
