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

4. Jensen Ackles

Supernatural. The Boys, which is a superhero show. The voice of Bruce Wayne in The Long Halloween. Is there any more need to point out how super this actor is?

This list has already touched on Amazon's The Boys, so why not return to that well of super-powered debauchery? When scouring the cast of the hit show, there's another option for Cyclops, and he's already comfortable in a hero costume.

Jensen Ackles is a very charismatic actor who somehow feels youthful and like a grizzled veteran at the same time. His deep voice and Hollywood good looks make him an ideal candidate for a brooding comic-book hero, and thus, slotting him into the role of Scott Summers seems perfect.

Alongside his gruff and stoic demeanour, Ackles is also adept at playing for laughs, with solid comic timing. This would undoubtedly help him in a Marvel production, as they're always looking for funny characters.

Like Chace Crawford, this Supernatural star has had a chance at playing the bad guy, so it would be great to see him swing into the MCU as someone more heroic.
