The actor says he&#8217;d be interested in exploring his character further, especially as he recently came out as gay in the Marvel comic books.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cObviously the comics and movies are separate,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I wonder what the transition would be because we\u2019ve 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\u2019d be really interesting. I think it\u2019d probably be the most interesting thing that could happen to Bobby in the films. If they decided to take the story that way, it\u2019d be incredibly dramatic, it\u2019d be an interesting storyline, and it would give Bobby a great character arc. I\u2019d definitely be open to that, but again, I\u2019m 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\u2019d be very interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/widgets.ign.com\/video\/embed\/content.html?url=https:\/\/www.ign.com\/videos\/2015\/12\/08\/x-mens-shawn-ashmore-interested-in-playing-iceman-as-gay\" width=\"468\" height=\"263\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"35296\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/?attachment_id=35296\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/x-menfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/iceman-gay-comics1.jpg?fit=806%2C1273&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"806,1273\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-title=\"iceman-gay-comics\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/x-menfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/iceman-gay-comics1.jpg?fit=640%2C1011&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/x-menfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/iceman-gay-comics1.jpg?resize=640%2C1011&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"iceman-gay-comics\" width=\"640\" height=\"1011\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-35296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/x-menfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/iceman-gay-comics1.jpg?w=806&amp;ssl=1 806w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/x-menfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/iceman-gay-comics1.jpg?resize=190%2C300&amp;ssl=1 190w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/x-menfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/iceman-gay-comics1.jpg?resize=648%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 648w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/x-menfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/iceman-gay-comics1.jpg?resize=89%2C140&amp;ssl=1 89w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shawn Ashmore (Iceman) recently talked X-MEN with IGN while appearing at the 2015 Game Awards&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":33321,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[15,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-35289","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-crew-talk","category-video"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/x-menfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/iceman-feat.jpg?fit=1619%2C830&ssl=1","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35289","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=35289"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35289\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/33321"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=35289"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=35289"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=35289"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
