Let’s be real, the upcoming X-Men reboot movie should have everyone excited. Especially since they announced at D23 that the key cast will include Samara Weaving as Emma Frost, Sadie Sink as Jean Grey and more. Despite denying interest in joining the MCU, Kit Connor has also joined the ensemble to play Cyclops, and his casting has me the most excited. And I’m not the only one, because I just discovered some cool X-Men fan art that puts Connor into the Cyclops uniform.
While I’m super excited to see everyone’s takes on these iconic characters, Cyclops has been my favorite since James Marsden’s portrayal in the movies from the early 2000s. So I’ll gladly take whatever I can get. And I have to admit, Connor looks pretty cool:
Fingers crossed that he looks this cool in the upcoming movie. I have a feeling he will, especially since Connor and some of the other cast are playing exactly who we thought they’d be. However, I do have to say that this visual is really helping this vision come together.

Seeing this art also makes me even more ready to see how the reboot turns out, and I’m not the only one. X-Men fans are loving seeing Connor suited up. While there are a few who want more ‘comic-accurate’ aesthetics (“high neck and ear coverings,” according to atombombc4), most are giving bosslogic a lot of love for the artwork. Check out some of the best reactions:
- Amon2997: This goes harder than the official Doomsday poster.
- Agthefighter: Bro this is some Elite level Fire Work.
- Xo_miike: huh…I take it back, I can see him as Cyclops.
- Snikthead: Honestly the first time I’ve seen Cyclops art without the ears/neck coverage and actually like it. WHELP, that’s @bosslogic for you. Always bringing the heat!
It will be a bit of a wait until we get to see Kit Connor officially as Cyclops, as the upcoming X-Men won’t be part of the 2026 movie schedule. It is set to hit theaters on May 5, 2028. So we won’t know anything more for a while. Not even if those Charles Melton as Beast rumors turn out to be true. But I have faith in Jake Schreier’s version of the X-Men, and this fan art has made me even more confident in what they’re making.
While we wait to see Connor on the big screen, we do have Doomsday to look forward to since James Marsden is returning as Cyclops 27 years after he made his Marvel debut. And yes, I spotted him in the trailer. I just hope they don’t go the X-Men: Last Stand route with him. Though Days of Future Past did rectify that decision.
Then, after that, I’ll have Connor’s upcoming Marvel movie circled on my calendar, because I seriously cannot wait to see him as Cyclops…especially after seeing this fan art of him.
