Six Pack of Actors Eyed for Jean Grey and Cyclops

Posted by Jeff Labels: , , ,

The Wrap reports that a six pack of Actors are currently in the mix for the parts of a younger Jean Grey and Scott Sommers (Cyclops).

Chloë Grace Moretz , Elle Fanning, and Hailee Steinfeld are the front runners for the part of the younger Jean Grey who was played by Famke Janssen  in the original X-Men series.  

Hollywood insiders are currently describing some serious politicking in favor of Elle Fanning for the part.  From strictly a view of which character most looks like a younger Famke Janssen I need to give the nod to Hailee Steinfeld. 

The above image has Famke Janssen on the Left portraying Kalama (ST:NG) in 1992 and the right is Hailee Steinfeld in a recent image.  

For Scott Sommers a trio of up and coming young actors are being given a look; Ben Hardy, Charlie Rowe and Timothee Chalamet.   Scott Sommers was portrayed by James Marsden in the Original X-Men trilogy.

While I definitely have a favorite in the actress that are up, none of the actors up for the Scott Sommers part really excite me.    Ben Hardy (BBC Eastenders) has a look that may be close enough to James Marsden to say okay, but again strictly from the current pictures I hope they keep looking.
