4. Regé-Jean Page

Imagine the excitement that would come if Regé-Jean Page was cast as Cyclops in the MCU!

He’s incredibly talented, and he absolutely killed it as Simon Basset in Bridgerton. He has the ability to bring a ton of emotional depth to his characters, which is exactly what Cyclops needs. The X-Men are a complex group of characters, and Cyclops in particular has a lot of baggage and trauma to work through. There is no doubt that Regé-Jean Page could pull off that complexity with ease.

But it’s not just his acting skills that make him a perfect fit for the role. Have you seen this man? He has a commanding presence that would make him a perfect fit to lead the X-Men. And let’s not forget about his superhero potential. He’s in great shape and has the athleticism needed for the role, and he could easily bring a sense of intensity and power to Cyclops’ optic blasts.

Plus, he has amazing chemistry with his co-stars, which is essential when you’re playing a character like Cyclops who has to balance being a leader and a romantic interest, while also standing out in an ensemble.
