Ben Hardy Joins The Cast Of X-MEN: APOCALYPSE
The Eastenders star was previously up for the role of the young Scott Summers along with several other actors, but after that part was nabbed by Tye Sheridan (Mud), it seems Hardy has signed on to play another character in the movie. Click on for more...
Tye Sheridan may have landed the part of the younger Scott Summers in X-Men: Apocalypse, but it seems director Bryan Singer was impressed enough with Ben Hardy's audition to cast the young Eastenders actor in another role. Who will be be playing? Well that seems to be a mystery for now, and the only other details we have on the character is that he's "significant to the X-Men universe." The Wrap does also report that he was at one time rumored to be up for Warren Worthington/Angel (so that may at least confirm the winged mutant's appearance in the movie) but that insiders now say it's another "key role" that's being kept under wraps.
Whoever Hardy is playing, he joins Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, Nicholas Hoult, James McAvoy, Oscar Isaac, Rose Byrne, Tye Sheridan, Sophie Turner, Alexandra Shipp and Kodi Smit-McPhee. X-Men: Apocalypse will hit theaters May 19, 2016.
