James Marsden Spills X-Men Secrets on Kimmel

On March 24th, Jimmy Kimmel called out James Marsden on his late-night show for keeping

quiet about returning a cyclops from the X-Men movies.

During an earlier interview, Marsden had denied any involvement in upcoming Marvel projects,

even though fans suspected otherwise.

Just two months later, Marvel announced Marsden's comeback in Avengers, Doomsday, alongside

original X-Men stars like Patrick Stewart and Ian.

Marsden made his first Marvel Cinematic Universe appearance in a teaser trailer packed with

X-Men characters. Marsden owned up to not being a great liar and explained he had to stay

coy because of strict rules around these big films.

Kimmel joked that he would have spilled the beans right away if he were in one.

The 52-year-old actor shared worries about taking on the superhero role again at his age,

wondering if it might be his last chance.

Kimmel teased him lightly about looking taller these days.

Fans can catch Marsden back in action when Avengers Doomsday hits theaters on December 18th.
