10 Characters John Krasinski Could Play In The MCU
6. Cyclops
At the moment, we have no idea what direction the MCU X-Men will take. However, if the characters are a little older than their teenage roots, John Krasinski would be a perfect fit for Cyclops.
Cyclops, aka Scott Summers, was one of the five original X-Men and has been a staple of the team ever since. However, in both the original X-Men trilogy, where he was played by James Marsden, and the prequels, where Tye Sheirdan took on the role, the filmmakers forgot just how important of a character he is to the team, and criminally underused him. Krasinski's interpretation would be the first leading role for Cyclops in a movie.
The closest thing to a "main character" the early X-Men comics had, Cyclops has to be a likable and relatable lead, which Krasinski was for many years on the Office. However, if they push someone Wolverine forward instead, then Cyclops would have to be a counter to him, which Krasinski could also pull off. Either way, Cyclops would be in good hands.
