Ben Wang is in talks to play Iceman.

Empire says other actors have screen-tested for the part, but Wang appears to be the frontrunner. Deadline reports that he has entered talks to play Bobby Drake, better known as Iceman, in Marvel Studios’ upcoming X-Men film; Variety also describes the discussions as negotiations. Wang plays Wyatt Callow in the upcoming The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, so the role would put him in another major franchise. The casting is still unconfirmed: Deadline said Marvel representatives could not be reached for comment.
