James Marsden’s wife, Lisa Linde, has filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.

According to People, Lisa filed last week.

The couple have been married since 2000 and have two children together. Jack, 10 and Mary, 6. Linde is asking for spousal support and joint custody.

Marsden, who’s best known for his role in ‘X-Men’ will next be seen in ‘Straw Dogs’ alongside Kate Bosworth and Alexander Skarsgard.

He was also recently spotted in New York filming the upcoming romcom, “Bachelorette,” with Kirsten Dunst and Isla Fischer.

I hate it when I hear news of divorce!! So sad, especially when kids are involved!

James Marsden plays a comedic cheerful character side-by-side with the Easter Bunny in ‘Hop’… but watch out because he’ll end up being not-so-friendly on the big screen. That’s because James has been cast to play criminal Charles Manson in the upcoming film ‘The Dead Circus’.

The film will take on the case of singer Bobby Fuller, whose death, though ruled a suicide, raised suspicion of foul play and potentially murder.

The script, which is yet to be written, will focus on the allegations that Manson and his Manson Family were behind the murder.

Michael C. Hall will play one of Fuller’s managers, while Melissa Leo takes on the role of a former Manson Family member. Hall, of course, is more than familiar with the serial killer genre as the star of Showtime’s “Dexter.” Leo won an Oscar for her role in “The Fighter” this year.

Marsden recently finished shooting “Nailed,” a comedy co-starring Jake Gyllenhaal and directed by David O. Russell. He’ll also film the thriller “Loft” later this year.

Pictured: Kate Walsh, Kristen Davis, Neil Patrick Harris, James Marston, Amy Poehler, Anna Kendricks, Jane Lynch, Josh Duhamel and Rashida Jones.

He’s mostly known for his roles in action flicks (X-Men) and romances (The Notebook). So what’s Marsden doing on ABC’s Modern Family? “James is hilarious,” series star Jesse Tyler Ferguson (pictured lying down) says of the actor, who appears in an episode early next year as a reiki practitioner who moves in next door to Mitchell (Ferguson) and Cam (Eric Stonestreet). “Believe me, he would not have been in Mitchell and Cam’s hot tub if he wasn’t funny — okay, funny and hot.”

Hunky James Marsden (he was Cyclops in the X-Men movies and the prince in Enchanted) is about to heat up ABC’s Modern Family.

In an upcoming episode, James will play a neighbor of Cam (Eric Stonestreet) and Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson), who causes the boys’ temperatures to rise every time he whips off his shirt.

I’d love to see James become a regular! Love him!

This movie looks TERRIBLE.  Hopefully I’m wrong, but I doubt it.  Movie looks stupid.

James Marsden is signed up for a ‘reimagining’ of the controversial 1971 film Straw Dogs, it has been reported.

Sam Peckinpah’s revenge thriller gained notoriety during the 1980s when it was effectively banned due to a contentious rape scene involving actress Susan George.

The film was passed for viewing by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) in 2002 when it was adjudged by clinical psychologists to be safe for home viewing.

In Rod Lurie’s planned remake, Marsden will play a Hollywood screenwriter who moves with his wife – not yet cast – to her hometown in the Deep South of the modern US.

As in Peckinpah’s original, Lurie’s version will see tensions growing between the married couple and a violent confrontation sparked by escalating tensions with the local residents.

Marsden, most recently seen in Enchanted, 27 Dresses and Hairspray, is best known as the mutant Cyclops in the trilogy of X-Men films.

He can next be seen in Neil LaBute’s comedy Death at a Funeral and alongside Cameron Diaz in thriller The Box.
