X-Men: 10 Actors Who Could Play The MCU's Cyclops

1. Chris Pine

Sometimes, the most obvious choice is the best one, so maybe it's about time Marvel gets some Pine! Apologies for that.

There's a reason why Pine seems like such an elementary choice for this role, and that's because he suits it down to a T. As an actor, he's charming, has an all-American look, and boasts plenty of star power. He'd slide into the role of Scott Summers incredibly well, as his clean-cut look and on-screen presence have him looking like a natural-born leader.

Another aspect of this talented actor that should be brought into consideration is that he's often underappreciated. Thanks to his very traditional leading man aesthetic and dependable performances, it's easy to overlook how likeable and magnetic he can be on screen. This is something that could help Cyclops become a slow-burn character who slowly but surely proves himself to the characters and the audience.

Of course, bringing him into the MCU would also mean that Marvel would have control over all four of the big Hollywood Chris actors. Imagine a movie that saw Hemsworth, Pratt, Evans and Pine all together; now, that would be something special.
