Avengers: Doomsday star James Marsden says he was "very proud" to wear comics-accurate Cyclops costume after the "restrictive" black leather of the X-Men films

**Marsden:** > “The first movies, where we were just in black leather, were very, very tight, very restrictive, we couldn't move around. In fact, Hugh [Jackman] and I, I think the first day of filming, we had to jump over a little retaining wall outside the Statue of Liberty, and we both were tripping over it. No joke, there's a video of us online doing this. We were just like, 'Okay, we're fired.' That's it. You don't feel like a superhero in these. But put this [the Doomsday costume] on, felt very cool, felt very proud, and then the visor goes on, I'm like 'Oh yeah, I can't see again.”

The amount of characters in this movie is ridiculous. Most can’t possibly be more than cameos at this rate.

There are a handful of actors that have multiple roles across the fox/sony and MCU universes. So I’d imagine those would be more cameos.

I’m glad we’re getting more comic accurate costumes. Personally I happen to hate this particular cyclops costume. I hate the weird y shaped utility single suspender used to hold his briefs up. I say this as someone who bought X-men #1 as a kid. More often than not, I think Jim lee does a poor job at costume design, which he then can draw the hell out and making the lame design LOOK awesome.

Cyke: "Logan." Wolvie: "...Slim." Deadpool (4th-wall break): "how f****** good do they look?!" Cyke: "who's he talking to?" Wolvie: "I never have any idea..."

This person writes fanfics where Cyclops is a hockey team captain and Wolverine works at a smoothie shop, no doubt.

I do wonder if he knew the extent of the crimes or if the lawyer just reached out and kept it vague.

It’s in the article but from one of the Boy Meets World actors he said- “Back then, you couldn't Google to find out what people were being charged with,” Strong said “In retrospect, he was making a plea deal and admitting one thing — which is all he admitted to us — but it looks like he was being charged with a series of crimes, which we did not know.”

I heard this guy once guy a Jury Duty sequestered! Then he smashed a cake! What a wild thing for the Sex Drive actor to do!

That headline is really taking the quote out of context. The old costume meant he couldn’t move so he felt silly and not at all like a hero. This outfit was different and made him feel proud and heroic. Had nothing to do with it being comic-accurate

Thank god, this was my biggest concern waiting for this movie. I’m so glad he was proud, now I can finally rest.
