James Marden Leaves Xmen for Superman

Posted by:

Recently a reader by the name of Stephen wrote in to ask if it was true that James Marden has left Xmen for Superman Returns, and whether he will be playing Perry Whites Son. Yes, its true that James Marden has been cast to play Perry Whites son in the upcoming Bryan Singer "Superman" movie.

Here's what was said in a recent news report (3 Feb 05) -

"Fox is telling actors who have options for the third, untitled X-Men film that it will begin shooting June 20th," alleges Hollywood Hitlist. "That conflicts with Superman Returns spring shooting schedule, which is anticipated to go through July 30."

The first X-Man to jump ship to Singer's new franchise was James Marsden. "Unless a miracle occurs, James Marsden has already been removed from consideration as Cyclops after he took a smaller part as Perry White's son in Superman Returns. We'll see if Marsden's loyalty to Singer was a smart career move," the column claims."

Personally, it amazes me that he did something like this.. maybe sometime in the future we'll know why.
