James Marsden’s Cyclops Finally Gets His Classic X-Men Suit In Striking New Art
James Marsden’s Cyclops has been reimagined in stunning new fan art that puts him in a comics-accurate classic X-Men suit, and it looks like he has walked straight off the page. As Marvel Studios builds toward its next big Avengers: Doomsday crossover, the return of multiple icons from Fox’s X-Men films is becoming a major hook for longtime fans. Marsden’s Scott Summers is expected to stand alongside heavyweights like Magneto, Charles Xavier, Beast, and other familiar mutants as they step into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The X-Men’s formal entry into the MCU was quietly seeded in the post-credits stinger of *The Marvels*. In that 2023 film, Monica Rambeau finds herself stranded in another universe, face to face with Kelsey Grammer’s Beast in the halls of the X-Mansion. Beast casually name-drops Patrick Stewart’s Professor X, confirming that this is a reality populated by Fox’s X-Men. It makes sense to assume Marsden’s Cyclops and the rest of the team will emerge from that same dimension, and seeing them finally suited up in bright, comics-faithful costumes feels like a natural evolution.
On Twitter, digital artist BossLogic shared a bold new Avengers: Doomsday concept poster imagining Marsden’s triumphant MCU comeback as Cyclops, this time proudly wearing his traditional blue-and-yellow X-Men uniform from the comics. The piece instantly caught fire among MCU and X-Men fans, who have been craving this exact look for years.
In the artwork, Marsden’s Cyclops is fully geared up in his signature blue and yellow suit, complete with the iconic visor and tactical straps that defined his classic design. He is captured mid-action, unleashing a massive optic blast that practically rips through the frame. The Avengers: Doomsday title appears carved out within the beam itself, as if the force of his power is branding the air. All around him lies debris that strongly evokes the destroyed remains of the X-Mansion, hinting at the darker, more catastrophic tone of the film’s story.
Will James Marsden’s Cyclops Actually Wear His Classic X-Men Suit In Avengers: Doomsday?
Longtime viewers will remember that Marsden’s Cyclops originally poked fun at the X-Men’s brightly colored comic book costumes back in the 2000 *X-Men* movie. He famously tossed off a sarcastic line dismissing the idea of “yellow spandex,” backing the movie’s choice to outfit the team in matching black leather uniforms instead. As the franchise went on, Cyclops slowly slid into the background so Wolverine could move to the forefront, and Scott’s journey was abruptly cut short when he was killed off early in 2006’s *X-Men: The Last Stand*.
Now, decades after that first appearance, Marsden’s Cyclops has a rare chance to flip that old joke on its head by finally stepping out in the fully realized classic X-Men costume fans have been waiting to see. There is a neat bit of irony in the fact that Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine was the one who broke the leather-suit barrier first. In Deadpool & Wolverine (2024), Logan finally embraces his own yellow-and-blue outfit from the comics, proving that bright superhero suits can absolutely work in live-action.

Marvel Studios has consistently shown a strong preference for letting characters wear suits that closely mirror their comic book counterparts, especially in recent phases of the MCU. That trend makes a faithful Cyclops redesign feel almost inevitable, and it is a major reason fans are so optimistic about Marsden’s return. Adding fuel to the speculation, a makeup artist recently posted images on Instagram that appeared to reveal several key Avengers: Doomsday character designs.
Before the post was taken down, the leaked artwork clearly depicted Marsden’s Cyclops in a blue-and-yellow uniform that lined up with the classic X-Men visuals seen in the comics and animated series. The same batch of images also showed all of the other X-Men characters officially confirmed for the MCU movie sporting updated, comics-accurate looks. These designs lean heavily into bold colors and distinct silhouettes, a sharp contrast to the black leather outfits that dominated the original Fox films.
Taken together, these creative choices make it feel like Avengers: Doomsday is positioning itself to deliver the most faithful live-action version of the X-Men to date. For Cyclops in particular, this project could finally give Scott Summers the leadership spotlight and costume accuracy he missed out on during the earlier movies, allowing the character to get the respect and screen presence he has long deserved.
