James Marsden interested in exploring Cyclops.

X-MEN vet James Marsden recently told Entertainment Tonight that he would be interested in playing Cyclops again with hopes of digging deeper and exploring the underdeveloped character:

“It was great to be a part of those movies, people loved them – it’s still the thing I get recognized for the most — but I feel like because there were so many cast members in this 90 minute movie, there was never enough time to give him the depth that other characters had.” says Marsden. “The first movie was really Wolverine’s saga – and the second and third as well. If I had a dollar for every time someone came up to me on the street and said, “I would have loved to see more Cyclops.”

I don’t think his character was ever fleshed out as much as I would have liked. I may have also been a bit on the young side for those films. If I could go back and put on the glasses and suit again where we do a film to learn more about the character, that’s the one I would pick. He’s ripe for that.

Will Fox ever consider making X-MEN 4?
