Why Cyclops Should Be the Leader of the Next 'X-Men' Franchise
Movie

Although Cyclops was an original member of 'X-Men' team introduced in the 1963 comic, the character has never been able to break free of a supporting role in the movies.

AceShowbiz - The X-Men are in desperate need of a new leader following "X-Men: Apocalypse. Fans think Cyclops should stand up and be the leader for the next "X-Men" franchise as he has never been able to break free of a supporting role in the movies.

Scott Summers a.k.a. Cyclops was an original member of the X-Men team introduced in the pages of Marvel's comics in 1963. Cyclops helped establish the mutant version of "The Avengers" and blazed a trail that would lead to the nine "X-Men" movies.

But Cyclops only got a supporting role in the movies, which have dedicated their respective spotlights to opposing characters like Wolverine, notably played by Hugh Jackman, in the original trilogy as well as Charles Xavier, Erik, and Raven in the "First Class" trilogy.

In the original "X-Men" trilogy, Bryan Singer set up a bit of an odd-couple love triangle between Cyclops, Wolverine and Famke Janssen's Jean Grey. However, Wolverine was so popular that Cyclops was relegated to cameo status in "X-Men 2" and "X-Men: The Last Stand".

In "X-Men: Apocalypse", a new team of mutants including Azazel (Jason Flemyng), Havok (Lucas Till), Banshee (Caleb Landry Jones) and Angel Salvadore (Zoe Kravitz) were introduced. Both Cyclops and Jean (Sophie Turner) are still figuring out how to use their powers in the latest film, but it might be his turn to lead the franchise.
