In a recent interview with Nerdist, actor James Marsden expressed strong enthusiasm for the possibility of returning to his role as Cyclops in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

Key points from the article include:

  • He is "Game" to Return: Marsden stated he would be "honored" to reprise the role. He has a deep affection for the character and feels a sense of "unfinished business" with him.
  • Desire to Explore Cyclops More: He acknowledged that in the original X-Men trilogy, Cyclops was often sidelined in favor of the more popular Wolverine. Marsden would love the chance to explore the character's full potential, which he feels was never fully realized.
  • Inspired by  Marsden praised the animated series X-Men '97 for successfully showcasing Cyclops as the compelling and effective leader he is in the comics.
  • Precedent for Returns: The article notes that with other original X-Men actors like Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart having already returned to the MCU, the door is open for Marsden to do the same.
  • No Official Contact: Importantly, Marsden confirmed that he has not been contacted by Marvel Studios. His comments are purely a reflection of his personal interest in a potential return, not an indication of any current plans.
