James Marsden would love to come back to X-Men!

Original X-MEN trilogy actor James Marsden (Cyclops) tells Screen Crave that he’d love to come back to the franchise and do a new film with the original gang. Recently producer Lauren Shuller Donner claimed that Fox loved a treatment it received for X-MEN 4, which leads into X5.

When talking about X-MEN: FIRST CLASS and possible future films, Marsden said “I know so little about First Class. I’m still happy they’re making the X-Men movies, and Fox is smart they can keep making these movies with the wealth of back story – you could do a spin-off of every character. The challenge of the first was having ten to fifteen characters and having enough time to establish who they are, especially with the years of back story. But I don’t look back and feel any disappointment. I’d love to come back and do a new one with the original group, but they’re busy.”

You never know, James…
