In other news, Entertainment Weekly spoke with Shawn Ashmore, who plays Bobby aka Iceman. While he has yet to read a script, the actor says he has a general idea of what his character will be doing in the film.

“As negotiations were happening, there was definitely some communication over what the broad strokes of the character will be and what the storyline is so I have an idea,” he says. “I do specifically know what my part is in broad strokes. I can’t wait. I’m so excited. The fact that not only do we get to reunite and play around with a lot of the actors from the original three [films] but also these two worlds combining is kind of incredible.”
