Apocalypse Tye Sheridan is CYCLOPS

[kasjan]

I'm talking about 16, not 11cm now, between him and Logan/Hank.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Oooh, 5 whole centimeters. You're talking about less than two freaking inches. Unless you're an incredibly picky woman and talking about something a little further south on the guy, two inches is absolutely nothing that can't be covered up with shoe lifts or camera tricks. God, the last thing fanboys need are to have a size queen label attached to them as well, but you're certainly giving it a run for its money.

 

[The Guard]

The height difference between Scott and Jean may well be intentional. They may be setting Jean up as someone who Cyclops feels is larger than life, unapproachable, etc.

 

[JP]

But they're an inch apart...

 

[Mad Ones]

People are still talking about the heights of these actors? I can't believe it.

1) Feeling that Jean being taller than Cyclops emasculates him in some way suggests an archaic and silly way of thinking about gender roles.

2) This idea that teenage Cyclops is dominant and masculine is not consistent with the comics anyway.

Btw, I've completely changed my mind about Tye. He has my full support.

 

[The Guard]

Also it's film, so...they can make whoever look however tall.

 

[Robin91939]

Absolutely agree.

Tom Hardy towered over everyone in The Dark Knight Rises ... he's 5'9".

Robert Downey Jr. is on the same level as Captain America (6'0") in The Marvel Cinematic Universe ... he's 5'9".

Ian McKellen certainly is't several feet taller than all the other actors in The Lord of the Rings flicks and he towered over all of them.

An actor's height is never an issue in films any more. The look and/or body type they have could be an issue though -- but still to a much lesser extent, since the diet and workout plans actors have available to them these days can change their look dramatically. Look at Chris Hemsworth before he was cast as Thor and now when he films ... or Andrew Garfield. They both got into the perfect shape to embody the characters they were tasked to play. It's really incredible what camera tricks, diet, personal training (and sometimes steroids) can do to a person with the will to see it through.

Tye Sheridan just has to worry about being a great actor -- and Kinberg better have delivered on a solid characterization of Cyclops and made up for his last effort with the character in X3: The Last Stand, and the costume department will develop a look that is flattering, Singer will shoot him in the best ways and the trainers will develop him to look the part.

It can very easily be done.

Absolutely agree.

I wouldnt go that far. The guy looked short in the film. What he had was muscle to make him appear bigger, but height most definitely wasnt it. He defintely wasnt "towering" over everyone

 

[ciscostudent561]

Towering, no. But he looked 6' tall in each shot. Which is an accomplishment.

 

[JP]

Absolutely agree.

I'm reminded of Andrew Garfield, who like Sheridan, had an unconventional "look" that made a lot of folks in the Spidey Boards question him.

I'd say camera tricks were very, very successful.

[Kane52630]

[JP]

Wait YOURE RIGHT.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

but he looks 11.51cm shorter!!!11

These freaking incompetents can't get anything right! This movie is doomed!!!1!11eleventyarglebargle!!

I hope it's easier to see it now.

 

[EnDz0n3]

I hope it's easier to see it now.

It's like the artist knew they were gonna cast Tye for the role LOL

 

[JP]

I'm only allowed to be attracted to photos of Tye taken after November.

 

[Mad Ones]

The more I think about this casting the more I love it. I'm happy they went with someone who is "unconventionally" handsome, even though I was initially not a fan of his look (I think I just had Marsden expectations, who I had a huge crush on as a kid). I hope they don't cover up his ears. They're adorable.

 

[Sawyer]

That's what McAvoy and Hoult are here for, JP, get it together.

Just watched Mud and Tye was really good. I'm 100% behind him playing Cyke now.

I've been calling fanboys b****ing about Henry Cavill's height size queens for years.

I'll have to check it out soon.
