If your only knowledge of the X-Men came from the Fox franchise that ran for two decades before concluding in disappointing fashion when The New Mutants finally landed in theaters with a thud earlier this year, then you’d be forgiven for being completely unaware that Cyclops is the strong and determined leader of the team, as well as one of the most influential characters in comic book history.
Across a dozen movies, Scott Summers was never really given anything important to do, with James Marsden generally shunted into the background as Wolverine’s love rival and Tye Sheridan’s younger version largely existing as a plot device to further Jean Grey’s arc. Fans will be hoping that the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s upcoming reboot will finally do Cyclops justice on the big screen, then, after watching him spend two decades relegated to a supporting role.
