Among them is James Marsden, who played Cyclops in that initial trilogy and didn’t really get to do much in them.

So I try different models and tools, and it’s all incredibly underwhelming.

‘Wednesday’ Showrunner Confirms We’ve Seen the Last of Xavier Thorpe

Better yet, during season two of Tim Burton’s Wednesday, we see her throw the phone into a boiling pot before returning to Nevermore Academy, only to find that Xavier had been transferred to another supernatural school. It’s an abrupt end to a significant character from season one—but intentionally so, on the production team’s behal
