14 Aug - James Marsden recently revealed that he is happy to be able to don his Cyclops suit back for the upcoming film, "Avengers: Doomsday".

The actor, who will play his X-Men character again after many years, said that he spent 20 years listening to people saying, "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," he expressed.

Marsden continued, "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."

Marsden made his debut in "X-Men" in 2000 as Cyclops/Scott Summers. He reprised his role in "X2: X-Men United" (2003) and "X-Men: The Last Stand" (2006), the latter where the character died.

Other X-Men alumni who will be returning include Patrick Stewart (Professor X), Ian McKellen (Magneto) and Rebecca Romijn (Mystique).

"Avengers: Doomsday" is set for release in December next year.
