The actor who plays Iceman in the X-Men movies would like to see the character mirror his comic counterpart and come out as gay.
In an interview with IGN, Shawn Ashmore said that having Bobby Drake, Iceman’s real name, come out as gay would “probably be the most interesting thing that could happen [to the character].”
“If they decided to take the story that way, it’d be incredibly dramatic, it’d be an interesting storyline and it would give Bobby a great character arc,” Ashmore said.
Ashmore’s Iceman character has been involved in a love triangle with two female mutants in the past films.
The question came after Marvel outted the X-Man in several issues of the comic book last April and this past November.
The next X-Men film Apocalypse, which will be without Ashmore’s Iceman, will be released May 2016.
