Sadie Sink Gives ‘X-Men’ Filming Update, Says She’s Being Kept “Separate” From Cyclops Casting
Sadie Sink has said filming on Marvel Studios’ forthcoming X-Men reboot is planned for next year, following her introduction as the telekinetic and telepathic mutant Jean Grey in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. She said she is not closely involved in casting Cyclops, learning developments from director Jake Schreier rather than through the formal process, while expressing confidence in the developing ensemble.
Deadline previously reported that Kit Connor has read for Cyclops/Scott Summers, who is Jean Grey’s traditional love interest, although Sink said she did not know whether that was official. The report also says Samara Weaving has been offered the role of Emma Frost; after X-Men, Sink expects to film FX and A24 series The Marriage Plot.
In short
- Sadie Sink says X-Men filming is expected next year.
- She is not involved in Cyclops casting.
- Kit Connor is reportedly being considered for Cyclops.
Explained simply
The X-Men are a group of people born with unusual abilities, known as mutants, in Marvel’s comic books and films. Jean Grey is one of their central members, with telepathic and telekinetic powers; Cyclops, whose real name is Scott Summers, is another, known for beams of energy released from his eyes.
Marvel Studios is developing a new X-Men film, bringing the characters into its wider screen franchise. Casting several major roles is part of building the new team, and the choices will shape how familiar relationships and stories are introduced to audiences.
