Ben Wang is reportedly in discussions to portray Iceman in the upcoming MCU X-Men reboot, according to Deadline. The Long Walk actor, who is set to appear as Wyatt Callow in The Hunger Games: Sunrise, is said to be one of a select few who have tested for the role. Other rumored contenders for the part include Gabriel LaBelle, Jackson Kelly, and Rhenzy Feliz.

The news of Wang's potential casting suggests that Marvel has plans to include Iceman in the 2028 X-Men film. While Iceman may not have the same star power as characters like Wolverine or Cyclops, he remains a significant figure in the comic book's history, with numerous appearances in animated projects, video games, and live-action movies such as the original 2000 X-Men, its sequels, and X-Men: Days of Future Past.
