Despite walking away from the Arrowverse for a short time, Colton Haynes made a huge impact as Roy Harper/Arsenal in Arrow. Now that the show has finished up, it seems his time on The CW has reached its end. But could the actor now have another comic book role in mind?
Earlier this week, a bogus rumour started doing the rounds online which claimed that Shia LaBeouf is being eyed for the role of Iceman in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While the X-Men franchise is being rebooted by Marvel Studios, that's 100% untrue, but it clearly grabbed Haynes' attention.
As you can see below, the actor recently took to Twitter to make it clear that he would like to take a crack at the mutant, and it's fair to say he would be a good fit for Bobby Drake in the MCU.
A few years ago, Iceman came out as gay, while Haynes also happens to be openly gay. Beyond that, he also looks pretty perfect for the role, and it's not remotely difficult to imagine him being part of the new version of the X-Men. Whether Iceman will be a priority for Marvel Studios remains to be seen, though it would be good to see the original five team members get some love.
