3. Tye Sheridan Could Play Cyclops
According to The Wrap's Jeff Sneider, the favourite to play leader in waiting Cyclops is Mud's break-out star Sheridan, who subsequently went on to help Nic Cage score an unlikely success with Joe, and has Last Days In The Desert upcoming with Ewan McGregor as well as the god-awful sounding Scouts Vs Zombies. But then, he does have to eat. When it comes down to it, Singer is going to have a tough time choosing his Cyclops if these three names are indeed the fore-runners: all are talented, all are on the up in career terms, and all would seem to fit the aesthetic bill. It will probably boil down to who tests best, and if Sneider is to be believed, it's already Sheridan. Would He Work? Sheridan has done well in all of his major projects so far, holding his own against Brad Pitt, Matthew McConaughey and Nic Cage, and all in all he would seem the most dependable (and the most bankable of the options).
