Overview
- Marvel’s latest teaser confirms the returns of Sir Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier, Sir Ian McKellen as Magneto, and James Marsden as Cyclops.
- James Marsden’s Cyclops appears in a Jim Lee–inspired yellow-and-blue suit and unleashes a dramatic optic blast with Sentinels looming behind him.
- Footage shows a discarded Xavier’s School plaque and a damaged campus, imagery that signals a darker tone for the X-Men’s involvement.
- Coverage notes the presentation suggests a more powerful take on Cyclops than prior live-action portrayals.
- The X-Men vignette arrived after an online leak as part of Marvel’s weekly teaser campaign, and Doctor Doom has not yet appeared in the released clips.
