Following a first look at Hot Toys' take on Doctor Doom in Avengers: Doomsday, we now have the company's take on James Marsden's Cyclops. Now that he's decked out in a comic-accurate costume, it's hard to imagine how Marvel Studios' upcoming X-Men reboot will top this design.
Two versions of Scott Summers will be available. The first is the standard edition, which is light on accessories, but still an undeniably eye-catching display piece.
The Deluxe version, in contrast, comes with Scott's brown leather jacket (inspired by the comic; it's unclear whether that item of attire appears in Avengers: Doomsday) and a base that places Cyclops in the centre of a destroyed Sentinel's head.
Sideshow has also revealed that figures based on Sir Patrick Stewart's Professor X, Kelsey Grammer's Beast, and one of the MCU's Sentinels are also in the works. Those haven't been fully revealed yet, but can be glimpsed in the video at the bottom of this article. As longtime collectors will know, there's no guarantee figures teased in this way will ever be produced.
Talking to Entertainment Tonight at Comic-Con, Marsden said, "Seeing Cyclops in the comic book-accurate costume, we're giving [fans] what they want, and we're doing it in a way that severely turns up the volume. Everyone is going to be really happy. It's so satisfying to do this for the fans and myself. And my kids."
In a separate interview with CinemaBlend, he added, "What does feel the same? I guess that, sort of, feeling that runs through your blood when you put on the visor and you throw the suit on, and it’s such an iconic role. It’s such a special movie franchise that I’ve been a part of for so long. And that thrill and that sort of adrenaline rush, stepping into this character again, is the same from the first day I did it." You can hear more from Marsden on his MCU debut here.
Cyclops looks set to be front and centre in Avengers: Doomsday, and it's great to see Marsden get his due after being unceremoniously killed off in X-Men: The Last Stand. That was a result of his choosing to reunite with filmmaker Bryan Singer on Superman Returns.
