Over on The Wrap, they are reporting that some giant X-Men casting moves are underway at Fox. Looks like we might be getting a new Jean Grey and Cyclops!
Apparently, Fox is looking at Chloe Grace Moretz, Elle Fanning and Hailee Steinfeld to play Jean Grey, the telekinetic, telepathic omega level mutant that eventually turns into the Phoenix… and then the dark Phoenix.
As the Wrap puts it, “Sources caution that official test offers for the role of Jean Grey have not been made yet and not only are other up-and-comers still in the mix, but it’s unclear whether Fanning is even pursuing the high-profile role at this time.”
For Cyclops, they are looking at relative newcomers, Ben Hardy, Charlie Rowe and Timothee Chalamet.
The movie, X-Men: Apocalypse, is currently planned for a May 2016 opening.
