Arrow Star Wants to be Iceman for the MCU's X-Men Movie


Ever since Disney bought 20th Century Fox and renamed them 20th Century Studios (yuck), we've all been waiting for an MCU X-Men movie. That was one of the main reasons Disney bought them after all, with the others being a way to make more money with the various properties that Fox owns. As we wait for a brand-new X-Men movie, some wild rumors claimed that they want Shia LaBeouf as Iceman.

However, Arrow star Colton Haynes, who is openly gay, recently threw his hat in and a lot of fans want to see him succeed Shawn Ashmore as the coolest X-Man. Considering how Iceman is currently gay in Marvel Comics, this would be a perfect way to introduce a proper LGBT lead character and not just someone in the background.

Colton Haynes came out as gay back in 2016 but before that, he was killing it as Roy Harper in The CW's Arrow. While some still prefer the character in shows like Young Justice, Haynes did do a fine enough job there and would be a solid Iceman for the MCU. That being said, Marvel Studios might want to cast someone younger if they're planning to bring in the original five X-Men.

Marvel Studios has yet to confirm if they are working on an X-Men movie but chances are that we won't see it for many years, especially with COVID-19 running rampant. When it does happen, do you guys want to see Colton Haynes as Iceman? Let us know in the comments below?
