Who Should Play The X-Men In The MCU

1. Cyclops - Armie Hammer

It seems that Armie Hammer is one of the most unlucky leading men in Hollywood. Not only does he have the perfect look for a series protagonist but he backs it up by being a very competent actor. His performances in The Social Network and Call Me By My Name make this very clear.

Unfortunately for Hammer, it seems that every franchise that he takes a role in ends up being a dissapointment. Two of his most notable attempts are The Lone Ranger and The Man From Uncle, both were decent enough films, but neither were the runaway successes that the studios were hoping for.

Hammer really could take on many roles in the MCU, but it seems that Cyclops is perfect for him. He would fit very well into the position of being an authoritative leader, and bring a great deal more agency than James Marsden's version of the character.

Hammer should get this role, and finally cement himself as the leading Hollywood actor that he is born to be.
