Marvel taps Gen V star to play Angel in its new X-Men movie — and MCU fans can't help but see the funny side of him graduating from an 'X-Men parody show to actually being in the X-Men'
The Marvel Phase 7 film's cast has grown by one with the addition of a former Gen V and Scream 7 actor.
Marvel has reportedly cast Asa Germann, a star of Gen V, as Angel in their upcoming X-Men movie. This has garnered positive reactions from MCU fans, who seem excited to see him play the role. Interestingly, Germann was initially considered for the role of Cyclops but was eventually chosen for Angel instead. At 28 years old, Germann brings more experience to the table compared to his younger MCU co-stars.
As Angel, Germann will portray a founding member of the X-Men with a pair of giant white wings that enable him to fly and possess superhuman strength, reflexes, stamina, and durability. Fans have praised Germann's casting, often joking that his first name means 'wing' in Portuguese.
