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?

El Mayimbe strikes again! Honestly, I know next to nothing about the guys being looked at for Cyclops. I'm a big fan of Sophie Turner though, and I'd love to see her get some bigger roles and expand beyond Game of Thrones.

Watching Egerton is KINGSMAN tonight. I hope Ronan > Sophie for Jean Grey; she's just more talented but either is s great choice. Sheridan is fcking good in everything he's been in (Mud, Joe, The Tree of Life)

Tye Sheridan for Scott, definitely. For Jean... Ronan? Not sure about Storm.

I'm cool with everything, but I'm skeptical of the Storm picks. You got Alexandra Shipp who was bad in that horrible Lifetime Aaliyah movie and than you got Zendaya. But I'll give them a chance and see what happens later.

Taron Edgerton would be awesome for Cyclops, and I really hope Sophie Turner gets Jean Grey

Even Timberland thought that Aaliyah movie was bad:

Tye Sheridan would be great too!

Even though that movie wasn't good I hope Alexandra gets the part anyway cause she looks like a young Halle berry, so I'll give her that.

@superherofan96 a lot of the early reviews has Taron Egerton as the revelation in the film. He's going to blow up too (cmon Marvel!)
Batman52
Batman52 - 1/9/2015, 3:03 PM
Never mind let Zendaya get it she looks more like Halle berry.

Kat Graham needs to be young Storm. I dont want to see Zendaya or this other girl as Storm....I'd be pissed.

Sophie Turner needs to be Jean the girl is perfect.

I'm sorry, Zendaya is a gorgeous young lady but I can't see her as Storm, she could probably suprise us though. (She passed on the Aaliyah movie that Alexandra starred in.) Aaliyah movie wasn't good at all, but I won't dump on Alexandra for it. Honestly it's hard to say that either of these actresses are horrible. (As they did have horrible scripts to work with) but yeah, I thought Keke Palmer would've made a decent storm.

@oNosferatuZodd She passed on X-Men: Apocalypse due to scheduling conflicts, nice try tho.

@Batman52

Lol, I see we're somewhat on the same page here.
Batman52
Batman52 - 1/9/2015, 3:06 PM
@TheRationalNerd I know right. But remember the memes that came out during that movie it was hilarious. lol

Alexandra Shipp is a freakin horrible actress.! I haven't seen Zendaya in anything serious so?

FightAs0ne - 1/9/2015, 3:06 PM
That Aaliyah movie was fricking awful. But I don't blame the actress. Everyone from the casting director to the producers are to blame.
Sophie for Jean Grey, that's all.
Batman52
Batman52 - 1/9/2015, 3:07 PM
@TheRationalNerd yeah. lol. But if we're going for looks to resemble a young Halle Berry I go for Zendaya.

Zendaya's co-star also wanted to be the new Jean Grey ya know...

Sucks if Ronan turned down Avengers and Star Wars to end up here...
