Taylor Lautner, from having a hot bod, down to the tough-guy look, and coupled with some boyish charm, is every bit the look of a hero. He may be suited up for Stretch Armstrong, but is our boy Taylor ready to gain some real powers to join the mutants?

Well, Awful Truth, reported that Taylor, best known for his role as the cuddliest werewolf ever in Eclipse, is being sought out to join James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender in X-Men: First Class, which is set to start shooting this summer. Update on this Sadly, it's a NO. :(

Sources close to Taylor tell us it's "not true" that the teen dream is being pursued by Fox to join the über-successful franchise. And we say, shame on it!

This kind of film is a perfect fit for Lautner and his career. After seeing the painful movie that was Valentine's Day (hardly just T.L.'s fault), we think action guy is the ideal role for the mini heartthrob.

The Twilight hunk is already in tip-top shape, we would rather see him kick some ass over solely chasing girls. Sorry, but we're crossing our fingers romantic comedies will not be Taylor's forte.

We just think of Lautner as a Tom Cruise in the making—the early years. We're talking about the Days of Thunder and Mission Impossible Tom Cruise, not jumping on Oprah's couch Tom Cruise.

Tay has what it takes to be a blockbuster star. The cute dimples, hot bod, perfectly groomed hair, and P.C. way he handles the press leads us to believe Mr. Perfect will have a cushy career. If he makes the right choices. An X-Men type flick would have been a fab fit for the Twilight babe, so let's hope something like that
does come along.

Hmmm, would you like Taylor to jump on the bandwagon with other actors and be super heroes these days? Or, much rather see him more on screen sweeping ladies off their feet?
