Kit Connor, the heartstopper actor, has fans drooling after new photos of him at the gym surfaced.
The 19-year-old was spotted posing with his personal trainer, and many believe he’s preparing for a part in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Joe Locke (Charlie Spring), Kit’s co-star, has already been cast in the forthcoming WandaVision spinoff series Agatha: Coven of Chaos.
While Joe’s character is presently unknown, there are hypotheses circulating about who he may be portraying – and one very compelling suggestion leads to a character we’ve previously seen in WandaVision.
In the previous Marvel program, which was the first to be released on Disney Plus, viewers met Wanda and Vision’s twin boys, Billy (Julian Hilliard) and Tommy (Paul Bettany). (Jett Klyne). Many assume Kit will portray Wiccan, Wanda’s son’s adolescent son and member of the Young Avengers.
‘My man is preparing for captain america and not heartstopper,’ one fan tweeted.
Another added: ‘I don’t think Kit Connor getting buffed up at this moment, is a coincidence. I am 150% convinced that he is indeed Hulkling. Let’s wait and see if Marvel pushes back Agatha Coven of Chaos. If this happens, then Hulkling is on his way .’
A third person joked: ‘Not beating the Hulkling allegations.’
Kit said last year that he was compelled to come out as bisexual after being harassed by trolls.
‘He tweeted: ‘back for a minute. i’m bi. congrats for forcing an 18 year old to out himself. i think some of you missed the point of the show. bye.’ (sic)
Kit received a wave of support from his fans and co-stars after expressing how he felt ‘forced’ to come out, with Heartstopper showrunner Alice Oseman writing: ‘I truly don’t understand how people can watch Heartstopper and then gleefully spend their time speculating about sexualities and judging based on stereotypes.’
Heartstopper is available to stream on Netflix.
