James Marsden is excited about his "homecoming" to 'Avengers: Doomsday'

Marvel fans were beyond excited when it was announced that James Marsden, who played Scott Summers, aka Cyclops, in 2000's X-Men, 2003's X2: X-Men United, 2006's X-Men: The Last Stand, and 2014's X-Men: Days of Future Past, would be reprising his role in Avengers: Doomsday. 

Now, the actor is opening up about his return, telling Vanity Fair, "I’m getting a little long in the tooth to put on the superhero costume. I was excited because you're a part of something gigantic, and I've spent 20 years listening to people say, 'when are you coming back? When are you coming back? Are you coming back?' I'm dead. Well, maybe not. I'm going to have a tough time struggling to get into costume if they waited a couple more years. So it's been a blast. It really has. It's been a nice little homecoming to a role that really put me on the map. It was the first real event project that I was ever a part of, and a very beloved character, this icon from the comics. And so to step back into that role was pretty special."

He's not the only X-Men coming back either: Kelsey Grammer, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Alan Cumming, and Rebecca Romijn have all been confirmed to revisit their beloved characters.
