Tye Sheridan Comments Briefly On Joining X-MEN: APOCALYPSE As 'Cyclops'

It was revealed yesterday that Tye Sheridan (Mud) will play Scott Summers/Cyclops in 2016's X-Men: Apocalypse, and the young actor has spoken out about the role for the first time since director Bryan Singer made the news official. Hit the jump to read his comments...

Tye Sheridan was one of the only actors on the Cyclops shortlist to not be asked about the role before he was ultimately cast, but The Hollywood Reporter caught up with the actor at the Sundance Film Festival to get his thoughts on the role. Unfortunately, we only have the Tweet below to go on for the time being, but hopefully the full interview with be posted online soon. 

At least we know that he's a fan of the franchise, and I'm guessing he'll be shooting THIS summer and not next (it's obviously a typo considering the fact that the movie is actually released in May 2016). Joining him in X-Men: Apocalypse are Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner as Jean Grey and relative unknown Alexandra Shipp as Storm. Are you looking forward to seeing Sheridan as Cyclops?

I watched a few interviews of him after I found out about his casting. Seems to be a cool kid, very family oriented. I felt mixed about him being cast but I'm sure he'll deliver the goods. Had no idea him and Sophie were the same age though. lol That chick looked at least 20. I'm also noticing who the real fans of these characters are when I start to see comments stating "we still have to find a teenage wolverine right?","This is supposed to be the future, why do they all look so young?" and my favorite: "Why are they making them teens again?! Why not just use the regular actors?"

Like someone mentioned prior, I'm afraid this casting could be a one & done. Unless Singer wants to be stuck in the 80/90's for the next 5 films, they're going to eventually need to bring back James and Famke or recast them too (for the present).

Wait he's shooting next summer? Doesn't the film come out next summer...

Hopefully he didn't have to spend 'personal time' with singer to get the role.

I heard Bryan Singer auditioned for the role of Professor X once this guy was casted.
Kurne
Kurne - 1/23/2015, 7:12 PM
It's OK. Variety reported that Tye Sheridan "blew Singer away" at his first audition but nobody seemed to follow up on that. This thread should be fine.

Plus there's still rumors circulating that Angel may be in this film as well? And just who on Earth will the Horsemen be? Hopefully they don't save it as a surprise for Comic Con. Don't think I can wait any longer man. lol

Seems like the people on this site are more interested in wierd/unfunny rape jokes about bryan singer.

smh.

@Superior

I just don't know if Toad will be back, I'm also confused if they'll even introduce Juggernaut. Seeing that Vaughn wanted to use him for DoFP has me thinking that they'll possibly squeeze him into this film. I incredibly doubt that they'll follow the ancient "jewel" gig from the comics. After all he has no mutation.

Yikess..

Yup, rape jokes are bad, man.
