With the cast for the new "Fantastic Four" film now set, the entertainment world's attention has shifted to the highly anticipated casting progress for Marvel Studios' upcoming "X-Men" movie. Rumors about potential cast members have been circulating for months.
The latest wave of widespread speculation suggests that Harris Dickinson, known for "The King's Man," and Jack Champion, who played Spider in "Avatar: The Way of Water," are both on Marvel's shortlist for the new Cyclops. These casting tidbits originated from prominent industry insiders Jeff Sneider and MyTimeToShineHello. Sneider shared his insights on "The Hot Mic," a YouTube live show he frequently appears on.

Online buzz has also recently linked Hunter Schafer, who rose to prominence with the HBO series "Euphoria," to the role of Mystique. Last year, Sneider also reported that Sadie Sink was in contention for Jean Grey.
Beyond casting news, Production List, a website dedicated to tracking film and television production information, indicates that the new "X-Men" film is currently slated to begin shooting in the UK this October. In a separate rumor less directly related to the new "X-Men," MyTimeToShineHello claims that Kelsey Grammer, who made a cameo return as the original Beast in "The Marvels" post-credits scene, will once again appear in "Avengers 5" and "Avengers: Secret Wars."
