Taron Edgerton, Sophie Turner Eyed For 'Cyclops' And 'Jean Grey'; Who's Testing For 'Storm'?
A number of names have now emerged as being in the running to play a young Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Storm in X-Men: Apocalypse, and you can find the full list of contenders here!
Latino-Review have scored a cracking X-Men: Apocalypse scoop, revealing which young stars are being eyed for the roles of Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Storm in the 2016 movie. A shortlist emerged late last year of course, but here's a new one for you! For Scott Summers, Taron Edgerton (Kingsman: The Secret Service), Jamie Blackley (If I Stay), and Tye Sheridan (Mud) are all being considered. Sophie Turner (Game of Thrones) and Saoirse Ronan (Hanna) are being looked at for Jean Grey, but with the latter missing out on roles in Avengers: Age of Ultron and Star Wars: The Force Awakens, is she interested in a big franchise like the X-Men? Regardless, we also have news on Storm, as Alexandra Shipp (Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B) and Zendaya Coleman (K.C Undercover) are both possible candidates. All pretty solid possibilities here. Who would you guys pick?
