Shawn Ashmore on ICEMAN and X-MEN team dynamics.

While promoting his upcoming video game role in ‘Quantum Break,’ Iceman actor Shawn Ashmore told IGN that he’d be interested in playing Bobby once again in a solo ICEMAN film.

“An Iceman solo movie? If Fox would make it then I would do it,” he said, enthusiastically. “I love that character, I love the Marvel universe, especially the last couple of films. I was so excited about ‘Days of Future Past’ when I heard about that – reading the script, realizing the script – it was so exciting for me, so if that was ever an opportunity? Absolutely.”

However, Ashmore does say he understands that solo films may not be best for the franchise, as he feels the characters work best as a team.

“The other thing about the X-Men is I think is that they work best as a team. What I always loved about the X-Men is that it wasn’t about solo characters. I think that the characters really come to life when you put them in the context of the school with Xavier, with the team – that’s what I always loved about the X-Men. So I’m not sure if that would ever happen. It would be exciting if it did, but there is something to be said about the team.”

Fans would love to see more Iceman action! Hopefully there are plans for him (and the rest of the original trilogy cast) in the future.
