Following its acquisition of Fox, Disney gained the rights to the X-Men franchise, and there are plans to reboot it. News about how the X-Men will be unveiled in the Marvel cinematic universe was possibly leaked earlier this week, with the series looking to feature Iceman, potentially with Shia LeBeouf in the role.
However, given that Iceman is one of the most notable gay superheroes in the Marvel universe, LGBTQ+ fans are hoping that an LGBTQ+ actor will play the role.
Enter Teen Wolf and Arrow star Colton Haynes who put himself forward for the role with a simple tweet, featuring a gif of the character and an emoji of someone raising their hand.
