Bill Skarsgård Eyed for Professor X: Marvel Studios Considers Casting IT Star in X-Men Reboot
Marvel Studios is reportedly considering Bill Skarsgård, known for his role in IT and as the voice of Kro in Eternals, for a part in the upcoming X-Men reboot. Skarsgård's potential casting as Professor Charles Xavier has sparked speculation, as he previously portrayed the underwhelming villain Kro in the MCU film Eternals. The character of Charles Xavier, a telepathic mutant who founded the X-Men, is a significant role to fill, with actors like Patrick Stewart and James McAvoy having previously portrayed the character in the Fox films. Skarsgård's casting would bring a darker screen presence to the character, offering a fresh take on the iconic role. While no deal has been finalized, Marvel Studios is reportedly seeking new energy for its mutant movie, and Skarsgård's potential involvement marks an unexpected turn in his MCU journey.
