Asa Germann Reportedly Lands Angel Role After Cyclops Audition
Asa Germann wanted to play Cyclops in Marvel’s new X-Men movie.
He auditioned for the part, but Kit Connor reportedly got it.
A new report says Germann will play another mutant named Angel.
The X-Men movie is expected to come out in 2028.
This is similar to what happened to Tom Hiddleston.
In 2009, Hiddleston auditioned to play Thor but did not get the role.
He later played Thor’s brother Loki instead.
Germann may now have a similar second-chance casting story.
Asa Germann reportedly auditioned for Cyclops in Marvel’s upcoming X-Men reboot.
Kit Connor ultimately won the role of Cyclops, according to the report.
Germann has reportedly been cast as the mutant Angel instead.
The X-Men reboot is scheduled for release in 2028.
The casting echoes Tom Hiddleston’s 2009 Thor audition and later Loki role.
