From an interview James did for the X3 junket.
There's such a buzz going around about Superman Returns. Can you talk about your role and also working with Bryan?
James Marsden: I play Richard White and it's Perry White's nephew. He's also engaged to Lois Lane. In Superman's absence, Lois is sort of moving on with her life with someone who is kind of Supermanesque. He's a pilot. He flies a plane. He's a great guy. He's very different from Scott in that he's very light and outgoing and friendly; not as serious as Cyclops. To be honest, Bryan called me and asked if I wanted to be in the movie and I said, "What role?" He said, "We've already cast Superman." I went over and read the script and I knew that it would hopefully work out schedule-wise with X-Men 3. I'm lucky that it did. To me, it's just about working with really great directors. But it's great, I feel very lucky to have done both. Obviously, I feel as safe in Brett's hands as I did in Bryan's.
