Kit Connor has addressed the speculation regarding his potential casting as Hulkling in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). In an interview with Omelete, he expressed reservations about the idea, stating, “I don’t think I would be a good choice for Hulkling, to be honest. I think people would get tired of seeing me and Joe together eventually, if we kept doing this over the next few years.”
Connor’s comments refer to his co-star from Heartstopper, Joe Locke, who is reportedly playing Wiccan in the MCU series Agatha All Along. While fans have speculated about the duo reuniting as the superhero couple Wiccan and Hulkling, Connor seems inclined to explore different roles to avoid typecasting.
Despite his reluctance to reprise a romantic pairing with Locke in the MCU, Connor expressed support for his friend’s success, saying, “Joe is brilliant, and I think Agatha is the perfect excuse for people to see him without my ugly face. You know, seeing him do his job, without being distracted by me saying ‘Hi’. I think people will enjoy seeing Joe in all his glory, just like I want to do, without interfering.”
As of now, there is no official confirmation regarding Connor’s involvement in the MCU. Fans will have to wait for further announcements to see if he joins the superhero franchise in the future.
