Lucas Till Returning as Havok in 'X-Men: Apocalypse'


"It wouldn't physically fit for him to be the brother of Cyclops. We take some liberties on that. There are notions, but, um, I don't want to give away certain interrelations, but let's just say there are some things that do adhere to the comic books and do so in a way the fans will get a kick out of."

That was what Bryan Singer had to say about Lucas Till's role as Havok when the character debuted in X-Men: First Class. Back then there were no plans to introduce Cyclops into the films, though, but with Tye Sheridan cast as a young version of the future X-Men leader, could Singer's thoughts have changed? We're about to find out.

Singer has confirmed that Till is returning as Havok in X-Men: Apocalypse, meaning this will be the first time Havok and Cyclops will be in the same movie. It's always possible the two won't even share any screen time, but I think it's more likely Singer will find a way to tease a connection between the two without saying anything definite. 

Till Joins James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, Oscar Isaac, Rose Byrne, Alexandra Shipp, Sophie Turner, Olivia Munn, Kodi Smit-McPhee, and Ben Hardy. X-Men: Apocalypse opens May 27th 2016.
