‘X-Men’ Rumor: Bryan Cranston Eyed For Key Role In MCU Reboot

Are the X-Men about to break bad? A rumor suggests that Marvel is looking to cast Bryan Cranston in a key role for the highly-anticipated MCU reboot.

While Bryan Cranston is a prolific actor, having done a tear of sitcoms and comedies in the 90s and 2000s, his most well-known role is as Walter White in Breaking Bad. If Marvel is truly eyeing Bryan Cranston to play Charles Xavier, it may suggest that the studio is looking to take the character in a similar direction to Walter White in the MCU. While that may seem insane to those who’ve only seen the X-Men films, this actually isn’t too far from how the character has been portrayed in the comics in recent years, suggesting this reboot rumor may end up being more fact than fiction.
