Shawn Ashmore on exploring Iceman’s sexuality in future X-MEN films.

Shawn Ashmore (Iceman) recently talked X-MEN with IGN while appearing at the 2015 Game Awards to promote his performance in the upcoming video game, Quantum Break. The actor says he’d be interested in exploring his character further, especially as he recently came out as gay in the Marvel comic books.

“Obviously the comics and movies are separate,” he said. “I wonder what the transition would be because we’ve sort of established Bobby as having a love interest in Rogue and having a love interest in sort of Kitty Pryde, but I think it’d be really interesting. I think it’d probably be the most interesting thing that could happen to Bobby in the films. If they decided to take the story that way, it’d be incredibly dramatic, it’d be an interesting storyline, and it would give Bobby a great character arc. I’d definitely be open to that, but again, I’m not sure if they want to take the character in that direction. I have no idea how they would play that out. I think it’d be very interesting.”
