Some 'X3' News
James Marsden, a.k.a. Cyclops, talked to Sci-Fi Wire last week about his role in a possible third "X-Men" movie. Here is what he ahd to say.
"I know that there's an outline, a treatment out there, for the third one," Marsden said in an interview. "I don't know what's in it or what the story is."
Marsden said that during his interactions with "big, die-hard X-Men fans," they expressed interest in seeing the Dark Phoenix saga from the comic books depicted on the big screen. "[It's] when Jean Grey [Famke Janssen] turns into Dark Phoenix," the actor said. "So I interviewed some of these fans, and they'd very much like that to happen. I guess that would include me a lot, because she'd become super cosmic and evil. So that would be an interesting dichotomy, to have Hugh Jackman [Wolverine] and [me] team up to stop her."
Alert fans may have caught some foreshadowing of the Dark Phoenix storyline in X2. But will that form the basis of X3? "I don't know," Marsden said. "I don't know if that's the real comic-book story or not, or, if it is, if they're going to use it," he said. "Jean definitely does continue to evolve after the second movie, and I'd like to see us get into that relationship a bit more. And I'd like to see them get into a relationship between Cyclops and Wolverine a little bit more [too]."
