We ’re still waiting on draw for the immature Jean Grey , Cyclops , and Storm . The late contenders for Cyclops are purportedly Jamie Blackley ( If I Stay ) , Tye Sheridan ( Mud ) , and Taron Egerton ( Kingsman : The Secret Service ) . Egerton give a not - so - clear response to the hearsay at a screening of Kingsman :

I really ca n’t point out on the Cyclops matter . I ’m not really sure what ’s going on there or where that [ rumor ] came from , but my Quaker Nicholas Hoult play Beast and he say that ’s very fun . Of of course , everyone would like to toy a superhero , but this is by no means me suppose I would care to go recreate Cyclops . So , I do n’t bonk .

Chloe Moretz has pop off on the role for scheduling reason , forget Saoirse Ronan ( The Grand Budapest Hotel ) and Sophie Turner ( Game of Thrones ) in competition .

Corey Stoll give aton of background information on the motion picture ’s interpretation of Darren Cross / Yellowjacket :

I started to become aware of these rumour of this legendary engineering that can shrink people to half an in while go on their full - size strength . And I became very taken up with it and demanded that we move ahead . But Pym had sort of buried it for ethical , moral ground . ”
According to Stoll , his character and Pym ’s girl Hope , who is played by Lilly , collude to take over the company . “ Now , I ’ve discovered my own version of that technology and I ’m using it for militaristic purposes , ” Stoll continue . “ I ’ve even pop out to use the technology myself , which as a sort of psychotic effect on people if they use it too much . I ca n’t get into the details of all the goodies of the Yellowjacket suit but it ’s several propagation progress from what Ant - Man has . And then I put it on — and then I am Yellowjacket ! ”
I think we can read Hope Van Dyne ’s involvement as either her eventually learning the error of her shipway or having always been on her father ’s side . I sincerely doubt she ’ll remain on the side of the villains . [ Entertainment Weekly ]
