Kit Connor, Cyclops for the 'X-Men' Reboot, Shows Off Impressive Physique

A new image of Kit Connor, the new Cyclops in the upcoming X-Men reboot in the MCU, was shared last Tuesday (18). In the photo, Connor appears alongside Mark Humphreys, with whom he trained for the adaptation of Elden Ring. 

In the photo, both are seen at a gym, with Connor showing off his physique for the role. Since Connor will likely keep the same physique after the Elden Ring live-action for the new X-Men, as filming for the adaptation of the FromSoftware game supposedly wrapped recently.

Jake Schreier, of Thunderbolts*, will direct the project. Lee Sung Jin, creator of Beef, and Joanna Calo, co-creator of The Bear, are working on the script.

The cast confirmed so far includes Kit Connor as Cyclops, Sadie Sink as Jean Grey, Samara Weaving as Emma Frost, Inde Navarrette as Rogue, Maya Boyd as Storm, Chris Abbott as Professor X, and Adam Driver as Mister Sinister.

In the comics, the X-Men are a group of people born with special abilities who face prejudice from society simply for being mutants. Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the original lineup included Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Iceman, Beast, and Angel, along with Professor X himself. It was only many years later that more popular characters such as Wolverine, Gambit, Rogue, and Storm were added. It is still unknown which lineup will be used in theaters.

The release date for X-Men has been confirmed for May 5, 2028.
