Los Angeles, March 25

Marvel fans have a reason to celebrate as James Marsden is all set to reprise his role as Cyclops in the upcoming film 'Avengers: Doomsday.'

The actor recently opened up about wearing the iconic suit again, and this time, in a look that is closer to the original comics.

According to Deadline, during his appearance on on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Marsden spoke about his experience of stepping back into the role. While talking about the earlier X-Men films, he said the costumes were uncomfortable and made it difficult to move freely.

Recalling those days, he said, "The first movies, we were just in black leather ... they were very tight, very restrictive. We couldn't move." He also shared a funny moment from the shoot, saying, "Hugh [Jackman] and I had to jump over a little retaining wall outside the Statue of Liberty, and we both were tripping over it."

While sharing how things have changed now, Marsden described feeling "very cool" and even "very proud" while wearing the new costume, showing how much the updated look meant to him. Speaking about it, he said, "To put this on felt very cool ... felt very proud."

Marsden first played Cyclops in the 2000 film 'X-Men' and returned in its sequels 'X2' and 'X-Men: The Last Stand.' He also made a brief appearance in 'X-Men: Days of Future Past.'

With 'Avengers: Doomsday,' the 'X-Men' characters are finally entering the Marvel Cinematic Universe after The Walt Disney Company acquired 21st Century Fox in 2019. Actors including Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Alan Cumming, and Rebecca Romijn are also set to return.

It's nice to hear the actors are more comfortable now. Those old leather suits did look stiff! But honestly, I hope the story is good. Sometimes Marvel focuses too much on cameos and costumes and forgets a solid plot. Fingers crossed for a meaningful role for Cyclops and not just fan service.

The X-Men movies were a huge part of my childhood. Seeing the original cast return, especially Stewart as Professor X, gives me so much nostalgia. Marsden talking about tripping with Hugh Jackman is hilarious! Hope they keep that fun energy in the new film.

As a long-time Marvel reader, the classic blue and yellow suit is iconic. It's about time the live-action version did it justice. The MCU's costume department has a great track record, so I have high hopes. This news has made my day!

Good to see the original actors getting another shot. But the MCU is already so crowded. They need to handle this integration carefully, not just throw everyone in. Doomsday sounds like a big event though. Excited to see how it all comes together!

The behind-the-scenes stories are always fun. It reminds you that these big superhero films are made by real people who trip over walls! 😄 Marsden's excitement is contagious. Hope the final product makes all the fans proud.
