Avi Arad and Chris Owens were at Wizard World Los Angeles today promoting the upcoming Fantastic Four release.
As the man behind every single Marvel adaptation we went straight to the source to get the scoop on X-Men 3.
Ever since Singer abandoned the mutants in favor of a pair of blue tights the internet has been buzzing with rumors of threats from the Marvel camp towards any X-Men actor that decides to go work with Singer on Superman Returns. Case in point, James Marsden has been cast as Richard White and was assumed to be out of the X-Men franchise.
However, Avi Arad told the audience at Wizard World today that he hopes to have James Marsden reprise his role as Cyclops in the next installment of the mutant series. Arad says that James Marsden called him and said that he read about this on the internet and said, "what are you doing...I told you I'm in."
So if everything is right in the world with the comic book gods James Marsden will be in two huge blockbuster films in 2006.
