Former Superman star Henry Cavill suits up as Cyclops in the Marvel Cinematic Universe through a new X-Men movie concept trailer. After years of waiting to see them in the MCU timeline, the X-Men are set to be reimagined by Marvel Studios for their ever-growing franchise. With the amount of mutants who will be recast for the MCU, Marvel Studios has some huge characters to cast for their X-Men reboot.

While Cavill made his MCU debut in 2024’s ᴅᴇᴀᴅpool & Wolverine, where he played a Logan variant, KH Studio recently shared a new concept trailer for a Cyclops solo movie, while depicting him as the next live-action iteration of Scott Summers through Marvel Studios’ upcoming X-Men reboot. Check it out below:

The Cyclops movie is pitched by KH Studio as not only exploring Scott’s early days, but “offering a grounded MCU film in the vein of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, but with mutant geopolitics at its core.” While there is no word yet on Marvel Studios’ direction for Cyclops in the MCU, James Marsden will be reprising the role in Avengers: Doomsday, which is currently in production.

What The Cyclops Concept Trailer Means For The MCU

As the world waits to see what becomes of the MCU’s X-Men movie reboot, it’s clear that fans are excited to see a new era for the mutants on the big screen. Given how mᴀssive a character Cyclops is in the Marvel canon, fans want to see Scott depicted right in the MCU, and casting him for the reboot is going to be extremely integral. With Cavill already getting concept trailers where he is being envisioned as the MCU’s Cyclops, it’s evident that he is a fan favorite for the role.

Even though he has already appeared as a Wolverine variant, having Cavill in the MCU as one of the main X-Men would be a great way for him to get another sH๏τ at a regular superhero gig. From Cavill’s great body of work, he would be a brilliant Cyclops for the MCU, especially since Scott is likely going to be one of the mutants Marvel Studios focuses on when they get to the mutant era. Whether or not Cavill may be on Marvel Studios’ radar for Cyclops or any other major X-Men character who isn’t Wolverine remains to be seen.

Our Take On Henry Cavill’s Cyclops Concept Trailer

Seeing the Cyclops concept trailer helps make an even bigger case for Cavill to be cast as Scott in the MCU, as it would genuinely be fun to see him back as a superhero, especially after the chaotic journey that he had with playing Superman. Even though he played Wolverine in another universe, that shouldn’t stop him from being able to play Cyclops in the X-Men movie reboot, especially as there are already MCU actors who have different roles in various realities. But for now, the world will have to wait and see what happens with Marvel Studios’ X-Men reboot.
