Hulkling in Marvel Comics is a half-Skrull hybrid with shape-shifting abilities, part of the Young Avengers team. His real name is Theodore Altman, and he possesses superhuman strength and other powers. The character’s origin is rooted in the Young Avengers comics. His mother, Anelle, was a Kree princess and former lover of Mar-Vell. She fell in love with the Skrull commander Dorrek VIII, who later became the Skrull Emperor. Anelle died giving birth to Hulkling, who was then raised by his adoptive father, Lisa Altman, a Skrull sent to protect him.

Connor is best known for starring as secondary school student Nick Nelson in the Netflix teen series Heartstopper (2022–present). He also appeared in films such as Santa (2014), Rocketman (2019), and Little Joe (2019). Additionally, he had a recurring role in the series Rocket’s Island (2014–2015) and a voice role in the series His Dark Materials (2019–2022).

Marvel Studios will be returning to the San Diego Comic-Con panel this year on Saturday, July 27. Marvel President Kevin Feige will reveal upcoming projects in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including new movie announcements. What are your thoughts on casting Connor as Hulking in the MCU?
