Kit Connor in Talks to Play Cyclops in Marvel's 'X Men' Reboot Kit Connor, star of the TV series "Heartstopper," is reportedly in talks to play Cyclops in Marvel's upcoming "X Men" reboot.
This development raises questions about the direction Marvel wants to take its mutant characters and whether this reboot will attempt to recapture the spirit of the 2000 franchise or forge a new path altogether.
Connor's involvement suggests that Marvel is banking on a younger audience's familiarity with the character, but it also underscores the larger theme of reboot fatigue.
