X-MEN star James Marsden weighs in on the chances of donning Cyclops’ classic blue and yellow costume in the MCU

IN Deadpool and Wolverinewe met a Logan Variant from a world where the X-Men had been killed. Wolverine’s teammates had repeatedly begged him to don a superhero costume, but he refused, and when Wade Wilson meets him, he wears it as penance.

Finally, Wolverine suits up and even dons his classic comic book mask in an unforgettable fight sequence that shows the clawed mutant slicing and slicing his way through the Deadpool Corps.

After that cameo from a comically accurate Beast in the The Marvels‘ post-credits scene, is the hope Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars can feature more character designs and costumes translated from page to screen in an equally satisfying way.

Talking with Jake’s Takes sore Sonic the Hedgehog 3Cyclops actor James Marsden was asked for his thoughts on Deadpool and Wolverine and whether he would be open to wearing Scott Summers’ classic blue and yellow suit.

“(Laughs) Well, first of all, I loved that movie. I thought they nailed it, and it was a real treat to see Ryan and Hugh together.” said the actor. “Seeing Hugh in the cartoon costume was super cool too.”

“I’m not sure Scott begged him to wear the costume…I think in the first movie I say something like, ‘What would you prefer, yellow spandex?’ or something like that, it was kind of sensational on Wolverine’s part there.”

While Marsden appears to have been mistaken Deadpool and Wolverine‘s Wolverine Variant with the one from his X-Men movie, the actor didn’t dismiss the idea of ​​joining the MCU and responded positively to the idea of ​​wearing that costume.

“It’s so cool to see these characters back on screen. I know there’s a lot of chatter out there,” Marsden said. “I don’t really know, but it was a great thing to be a part of and of course always a fun thing to put that suit on. We’ll see.”

The prevailing theory among fans is that the Avengers will battle the X-Men when their respective realities collide in a whim. The stage certainly seems set for a clash following Maria Rambeau’s arrival in the team’s reality (a world believed to be Earth-10005).

We’ll see what happens. It’s fair to say, though, that everyone will be shocked if the mutant team doesn’t make an appearance – cartoon costumes and all – in the upcoming Avengers film.

Avengers: Doomsday is set to be released in May 2026, med Avengers: Secret Wars scheduled to arrive in May 2027.
