After D23&#8217;s major X-Men MCU cast reveal last month, things had been all quiet on the mutant front for a little while&#8230; until now, that is. Per <em>THR<\/em>&#8216;s reporting, Jake Schreier&#8217;s hotly anticipated mutie movie has just cast a key member of Professor X&#8217;s superhero team \u2014 and it&#8217;s someone who knows a thing or two about playing a superpowered character. Asa Germann, perhaps best known as <em>Gen V<\/em>&#8216;s super strong Sam Riordan, is officially set to play X-Men OG Warren Worthington III \u2014 aka Angel \u2014 in Schreier&#8217;s upcoming MCU film.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content-module-scss-module__RI8h6a__content\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>As <em>THR<\/em> reports, Germann had originally auditioned for the role of Scott Summers\/Cyclops in the MCU&#8217;s first X-Men movie. But while <em>Heartstopper<\/em> star Kit Connor eventually landed that particular gig, Marvel Studios&#8217; top brass were impressed enough with Germann \u2014 most recently seen in <em>Scream 7<\/em> earlier this year \u2014 that they offered him the role of the X-Team&#8217;s high flying mutant hero, instead. And it must be said, it&#8217;s a shrewd casting move on Marvel&#8217;s part given Germann&#8217;s eye-catching turn in Amazon&#8217;s X-Men-riffing <em>The Boys<\/em> spin-off series. It&#8217;ll be fascinating to see how the up-and-comer follows in the wing flaps of previous Angels Ben Foster (<em>X-Men: The Last Stand<\/em>) and Ben Hardy (<em>X-Men: Apocalypse<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content-module-scss-module__RI8h6a__content\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>As it stands then, the X-Men currently set for the mutants&#8217; MCU debut proper are Kit Connor as Cyclops, Sadie Sink as Jean Grey, <em>Obsession<\/em> breakout Inde Navarette as Rogue, and newcomer Maya Boyd as Storm. Elsewhere, Christopher Abbott is on to play the mutants&#8217; leader Charles &#8216;Professor X&#8217; Xavier, Samara Weaving is down as the icy-powered Emma Frost, and Adam Driver is set to channel his sinister side as Nathaniel Milbury&#8230; aka Nathaniel Essex&#8230; aka, well, Mister Sinister. With three of the comics&#8217; original X-Men team already in Schreier&#8217;s line-up, could Beast and Iceman casting announcements be imminent? Only time will tell. But with X-Men heading to a cinema near you on 5 May, 2028, we expect we&#8217;ll be hearing <em>plenty<\/em> more about this one very soon.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"source-links-container\" data-test=\"source-links\">\n<h2 class=\"sourceUrl-module-scss-module__wl3ZsG__h2\">Sources Links<\/h2>\n<p>THR<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To me, my X-Men casting news!
