X-Men star Lucas Till named as new MacGyver

STEP aside Richard Dean Anderson, there’s a new MacGyver in town.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, 25-year-old Lucas Till will play MacGyver in the upcoming TV reboot.

Till is best known for playing Havok in X-Men: First Class and X-Men: Days of Future Past and he’ll reprise his role for the third time in X-Men: Apocalypse which is due out in May.

Till has shoes big shoes (and big hair) to fill, with Richard Dean Anderson previously starring as the secret agent from 1985 to 1992.

In the new show, which is being described as a “re-imagining” of the old one, Till’s MacGyver will “get recruited into a clandestine organisation where he uses his knack for solving problems in unconventional ways to help prevent disasters from happening”.

There’s no word yet if Till will rock a mullet like Anderson did in the MacGyver reboot. Here’s what he’d look like if he did:
Perfection.
