Cyclops/Scott Summers (James Marsden) #1: "Perhaps more time in the Danger Room. "




x
Biography:

James Paul Marsden (born September 18, 1973) is an American actor, singer and former Versace model. Marsden began his acting career guest-starring in multiple television shows such as Saved by the Bell, Touched by an Angel and Party of Five. He would then gain prominence with his portrayal of Scott Summers/Cyclops in the X-Men film series and starred in 2006's Superman Returns which earned him a Saturn Award nomination.

Following his breakthrough in comic book films, Marsden went on to star in various genre films including 2007's Hairspray which was a critical and commercial success and won many awards for its ensemble cast. As Corny Collins, he sang two songs for the film's soundtrack which has been certified Platinum by the RIAA. He would continue his success and star in family friendly films such as Enchanted, Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore and Hop.

Marsden later starred in a range of independent films such as Small Apartments, Bachelorette, and Robot & Frank. He also returned to television guest-starring in Modern Family and playing Liz Lemon's love interest, Criss Chros in 30 Rock in a supporting role. Marsden then portrayed President John F. Kennedy in Lee Daniels' The Butler, and had a supporting role as an antagonist in Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues.

The scene in the train station where a young boy smiles at Cyclops and he smiles back was unplanned. The boy was a huge X-Men fan, and Cyclops was his favorite. The scene originally called for Cyclops to look at the train schedule, but according to Bryan Singer the boy could not stop smiling at James Marsden. Finally, during one shot, Marsden just looked back at him and smiled, much to the boy’s delight. Bryan Singer liked the idea so much, he kept it in the film. (x)

Add me?

Scott is one of my favourites, remember some of the original cartoon and saw most of the one that was done late-90's or early-00's even if I need to re-watch but remembered that I d him in it. Felt that the movies really didn't do a good job with his character, than his death so love Scott but they didn't do the best job in the movies with him

Sorry I had to open another one as I accidentally deleted the 2 threads opened for him after merging it. I've added everyone though.

I agree Sarah about the movies not really doing a good job with his character. If I remember well the cartoons, Cyclops is pretty popular. More popular than Wolverine. I mean my boy cousins all wanted to be Cyclops because he was a "hunk" and had cool laser-type glasses.

He was the leader. He was the typical good guy but he was very popular. I hope he gets more airtime. I also think James is gorgeous so that definitely helps

James is absolutely gorgeous ITA

With what happened with DOFP here's hoping that Scott gets what is owed to him, some real screen time and a true storyline

He was in Modern Family and absolutely killed it. I think he's actually very funny, and they could give that to his character so Scott doesn't have to be so serious
