James Marsden Quotes

I like the X-Men, otherwise I wouldn't be doing it.

I'm a lifer for the 'X-Men' movies.

'X-Men 1' - I did a cameo.

We love Cyclops and as you know, we love James. It's a great team and we'll continue the team, obviously.

X-Men is massive, like nothing I've ever experienced. But great in its own way.

Back in 1982, when there were still only a manageable number of 'X-Men' titles on the racks (by which I mean just one), Marvel quite reasonably figured the world could stand another team of beleaguered mutant superheroes. And so were born 'The New Mutants,' junior X-Men whose powers had just begun to manifest at the onset of puberty.

I had never come across the 'X-Men' comics till I was asked to play Magneto, so I just jumped into that job.

I never read any of the comics, but I grew up on the animated series when I was a little kid - I guess it came out in 1992. So I've always been an 'X-Men' fan.

I was a big fan of all the 'X-Men' films growing up.

Maisie Williams was my first choice to play Wolfsbane when I heard about the 'New Mutants' movie - but in comic books, I can keep the New Mutants adolescent for decades and have as much fun writing them at the end as I did in the beginning.

For me, I was never really obsessed with Luke Cage. My obsession was Wolverine.

If you don't know, 'The New Mutants' is like an 'X-Men' spin-off. It was a comic book; Bill Sienkiewicz did it and it was an 'X-Men' comic. It's basically like a separate bunch of mutants.

Isn't it amazing how the X-Men always managed to be ahead of everybody's curve no matter how they look at it?

I like the superhero comic books, and I like to see what the actors do creatively with the characters and how they bring these superheroes to life in the movies.

I love other movies that have been made since, but I think more than any comic book movie, 'Superman' just totally seemed to capture superheroes in ways that others have not.

Superhero stories are kind of in my DNA from childhood on, so I think I'm genetically drawn to playing in the genre when the opportunity presents itself.

I guess a lot of comic-book adaptations strive for realism. Christopher Nolan is making Batman seem very real and very serious.

Marvel has, like, 9,000 characters. They could do a horror movie tomorrow and call it Marvel. They can do anything.

I love to say that what's great about 'Legion' is that if you haven't read a comic book and you haven't seen an 'X-Men' movie, you can come in and understand it - and this can be your comic.

I grew up reading comics - mostly Marvel - Doctor Strange was my favourite comic book and has remained my favourite as an adult. It's the only comic book movie property I've ever gone after. I felt uniquely suited to it.

The 'X-Men' franchise has not been a perfect one.

'Avengers' was a great comic-book movie. 'The Dark Knight Rises' is a great epic.

As you have two more huge characters as Cable and Domino, 'Deadpool' is growing, and it's making 'X-Force' franchise bigger and bigger.

I like movies with superheroes - one of my favorite movies of all time was 'The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.'

There's almost a universe as big as the Marvel Universe with X-Men. I mean, Deadpool is something I think everybody was taken surprise by, except for the people who read the comic book.
