After digging through a pile of seemingly unrelated common household objects, CBS has managed to assemble X-Men actor Lucas Till and cast him in its reboot of the classic ’80s TV series MacGyver. Till will be playing Angus MacGyver himself, an operative for a secret organization who is tasked with “solving problems in unconventional ways to help prevent disasters from happening.” This comes from Deadline, which says the new MacGyver will be a prequel to the original show, putting its setting somewhere in the ’70s. Till shouldn’t get his retro outfits from the X-Men movies out of storage just yet, though, because Deadline also calls it a “reimagining” of the old show, so it could be a prequel in the sense that it’s about a young MacGyver, but a reimagining in the sense that it takes place in the present day. After all, setting it in the ’70s seems unnecessarily expensive/elaborate for a project like this.
