What James Marsden Has Said About Returning As Cyclops For Deadpool & Wolverine
The Actor Has Been Absent From Superhero Movies For A Long Time
While Marsden has not confirmed that he will appear as Cyclops inDeadpool & Wolverine, the actor has made some interesting comments. In 2022, when the rumors first started to surface,Marsden commented on his chances of coming back as Cyclops. According to the actor, due to his love for the X-Men franchise, he “would always be open to that, revisiting that world.”
Last March,Marsden talked about hisDeadpool & Wolverinereturn rumorsonce again, this time revealing an interesting piece of info. According to the actor, he was filmingSonic 3"near the Deadpool stages up there in Pinewood [Studios]." He also compared the rumors to Pandora’s box, not giving a clear answer regarding being in it or not. With Marsden revealing that he was working onSonic 3close to theDeadpool & Wolverinecrew, he could have easily filmed a role in both films at the same time, which actors often do.
TheDeadpool & Wolverinetrailers have revealed several cameos from X-Men movie characters and actors, though they have been for smaller roles. With Ryan Reynolds and the rest of those involved with the MCU movie teasing that a lot of surprises are being saved for the film, a Cyclops-level appearance would likely be among those. While Reynolds wearing Cyclops' visor on the press tour could mean nothing, Marsden’s recent comments make aDeadpool & Wolverineappearance a strong possibility.
