Early reports had linked Pelphrey (Iron Fist), Christopher Abbott (The Testament of Ann Lee) and Bill Skarsgård (It: Welcome to Derry) to the role, but Abbott ultimately emerged as the victor and was announced as part of the official cast last week during Disney’s D23 showcase.
“To start from the bottom and then work my way up, I can see everything with a perspective that just leaves me feeling grateful,” Pelphrey said.
He continued: “Now, when one door closes, another door immediately opens, and it’s really changed the way I feel about certain projects. So to have those [X-Men audition] experiences — and some of the other conversations and meetings I’ve had that haven’t been reported — it’s incredible.”
“I’ve also got a fat head. I have a watermelon,” he said when discussing the possibility of shaving his head to play the role.
The untitled X-Men movie is scheduled to be released in cinemas on 5 May, 2028.
Alongside Abbott as Professor X, other cast members confirmed at the D23 Expo in California include Heartstopper's Kit Connor, who is set to play Cyclops, and Ready or Not's Samara Weaving, who will star as Emma Frost.
Adam Driver has also been announced as part of the cast, with the actor set to play Nathaniel Milbury – also known as the villain Mr Sinister.
