Courtesy of Instagram user @spdrmnkyxxiii, we have a pretty good idea of what Scobell would look like as a live-action Ben Tennyson, particularly from a visual standpoint. From the Omnitrix on his wrist to the trademark white t-shirt with black trim, Tennyson's famous design elements look perfect on Scobell. Sure, Tennyson is 10 years old during the events of the original "Ben 10" series and Scobell is already much older, but it's not like we haven't seen a teenage version of the character before. Case in point: "Ben 10: Omniverse," where he's 16 years old.
As the 2020s continue to unfold, no official news on another piece of live-action "Ben 10" media has reached the public. Therefore, Scobell portraying Ben Tennyson is a mere pipe dream at this point, but it's not one held solely by @spdrmnkyxxiii. In March 2022, Reddit user u/AlphaCap02 made a thread to toss out Scobell as their ideal "Ben 10" lead actor, and while comments weren't plentiful, most were supportive. Fellow Redditor u/DashMetchum even recommended that Scobell's "The Adam Project" co-star Ryan Reynolds could join him in the role of Ben 10K — a version of Tennyson from an alternate future where he becomes a full-time superhero.
Perhaps someday the "Ben 10" franchise will return to live-action, and should it happen soon, Scobell is undoubtedly among the most appropriate choices to lead the cast.
