Returning to Cyclops has always been in the back of James Marsden‘s mind!

The 52-year-old actor is stepping back into the character’s shoes for Avengers: Doomsday years after starring as Scott Summers/Cyclops in the original X-Men franchise. At San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) on Saturday, July 25, he admitted to PEOPLE that he always “hoped” to play the hero again, even when he thought it was a pipe dream.

Asked if there were ever moments he thought he wouldn’t play Cyclops ever again, Marsden said in the Marvel Studios press line, “Yeah, many times.”

The two worlds of “Jury Duty” are about to collide.

Prime Video announced Friday that the streamer will release two special episodes on April 10, a week after the finale of “Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat.” James Marsden, who picked up an Emmy nomination for his turn in the first season of “Jury Duty,” will host both episodes.

The first episode, titled “The Reunion,” will see “Company Retreat” “hero” (or the only non-actor on the show) Anthony Norman reunite with the whole cast of the elaborate prank series he unwittingly found himself at the center of.

It’s time for Paradise to enter the real world.

When the Hulu drama returns for its second season, Xavier (Sterling K. Brown) is leaving the bunker behind to find his wife. And the show is leaving season 1 behind for something … different. “Our second season was always intended to be a bit of a departure,” showrunner Dan Fogelman says of his three-year plan for the story.

“I keep reminding myself to stick to the plan, because sometimes the plan can be a little scary,” Fogelman continues. “There’s a moment where you go, ‘Wow, people are really enjoying this show in this world and we’re gonna be going to different worlds and different areas. And that’s a scary moment where you check yourself a little bit, but we tried to execute the plan that we always had, the plan that I pitched to Sterling when I first told him what the three seasons were gonna be. And we stuck with that.”
