Dickinson has been known for his roles in The Iron Claw, Triangle of Sadness and Babygirl as of late. Previous to Dickinson’s rumored role as Cyclops, Jack Champion’s name was thrown around for the part as well. Sneider notes that these are rumors for now, but he “knows Marvel likes” Dickinson and thinks he could be a frontrunner.
