“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,” James told Vanity Fair of the excited fans that have been waiting to see him play Cyclops again.
James went on to say that it feels like a full circle moment in his career, returning back to the first role that really made his acting career take off.
“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,” James told the publication.
