Kit Connor flexed his muscly physique in a series of recently shared gym photos, and his bulk up sparked speculations of him joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
His personal trainer Nathaniel Massiah posted the ‘Heartstopper’ star’s workout photos on Instagram, showing a shirtless photo of the actor, which reminded people of one superhero in particular: Hulkling.
Hulkling is one of the most well-known members in the Young Avengers team from the popular comic book, and he is a shapeshifting Skrull. Not to mention, Hulkling is one-half of one of the best-known gay couples in the Marvel Comics.
He is the boyfriend and now husband of Wanda’s son Billy, also known by the superhero moniker Wiccan. Connor’s ‘Heartstopper’ co-star, Joe Locke, has already joined the cast of the upcoming ‘WandaVision’ spinoff series, ‘Agatha: Coven of Chaos,’ and Marvel fans believe that he will be playing the role of teen Billy (or Wiccan).
That being said, there are rumors that Connor and Locke would be portraying the famous Hulkling-Wiccan couple in the MCU. Here’s what Twitter has to say about the ‘Rocketman’ actor and his resemblance to Hulkling.

Moreover, Connor shared the reason why he decided to get into working out, and he said that it’s because some people on the internet commented that he didn’t look like his ‘Heartstopper’ character Nick Nelson, which was based on Alice Oseman’s comic book of the same title.
