Shia LaBeouf seems to be staging a pretty big comeback. After a two-year hiatus, the actor shot to critical acclaim with two 2019 movies,
The Peanut Butter Falcon and
Honey Boy, and now Marvel is supposedly hot to work with him in a cool new role.According
to We Got This Covered (the same site that correctly first reported a
She-Hulk show at Disney Plus and a live-action
Robin Hood remake at Disney), Marvel is hoping to land LaBeouf to play Iceman in their new
X-Men reboot. Previously, MCU was supposedly considering LaBeouf to breathe life into Moon Knight (a rich vigilante character similar to Batman), and while the site reports that LaBeouf is still in the running for that role, the powers-that-be are supposedly more interested in his take on the
X-Men character. And, considering LaBeouf’s
previous criticism with doing big-budget studio films, this could be a nice way for him to ease back into things without having the pressure as a lead.
