    I wish it could happen, but I also think it would be a bit boring. I have to give credit to X-Men Apocalypse for at least giving Scott some credible screen time. They'll probably kill him in Dark Phoenix and then introduce Jimmy Hudson....fuckers.

    This. The overprotective big brother/introverted nerd turned reluctant leader aspect is too central to the character. Take that away and much of the essence of the character is lost.

    Edit. Okay, who am I kidding? Of course I would watch it. He's extremely unlikely to get one for the reasons I stated above but if he ever got one, I'd watch the s#*t out of it.

    Yes. Give it a good writer and director that cares about character development/moments. It's not that hard to make a solo movie with Cyke and honestly I doubt it would be any different than Wolverine's movies. But not with the current kid. He is talented, but he is not Cyclops. And Fox always has no idea what to do with X-Men, so...

    Even if Fox had a better overall batting average with their films - and a way better track record with their understanding and treatment of Cyclops - I can't imagine being terrible excited by a solo film for him, largely because Scott is entirely defined by the people around him. Even ignoring all his key relationships, be they romantic or other stuff like his ******* bromance with Logan, the main term used to define Scott is 'leader' and you can't get a grip on that if he's not surrounded by other folk looking to him for, y'know, leadership. It's the same problem you'd run into if you tried doing a Ninja Turtles story solely about Leonardo. Or a Power Rangers story that's only about the Red Ranger. (granted, multiple Red Rangers works pretty effing well so maybe a boatload of Scott clones are an idea?)

    I guess you could have him forcibly separated from the X-Men and stumbling across some lost tribe of mutants that he has to assert himself over in order to save the day somehow, but that really feels like you're stealing Storm's whole deal with the Morlocks.

    Since the X-Men movies seem to be going decade into decade, it would only make sense to bring back Tim Pocock as Cyclops and Haley Ramm as Jean Grey.

    yes , if it is done well.

    too bad singer hated cyclops but at the same time i am glad cyclops was already a very well known comic hero ...as the leader of the xmen way before the movies so people always called out singer for his wolverine fan boy bullshit. i think if you ask anyone what are some of the flaws of the movies, they will say cyclops was not treated well.

    I think a cyclops movie with the whole starjammers, summer/grey drama could work well but at the same time it would be very complicated to pull off.

    Partly but not totally responsible for why I don't enjoy Tyke in blue. It's honestly nothing against Jean but without his captain's hat he's just kind of there.

    The other core element to this guy is uber tactical competence and organization, and Jean but let's forget about that for now. What you could do is a reality TV show where Scott organizes peoples garages and basements in life transforming way. He could have the occasional o5 guest star helping out. They could use thier powers. I think it would be great. Lot's of Scott's winning smiles and high fives.

    Depends on the supporting cast. Even the Logan and Deadpool solo films had other mutant heroes, even if it were just as cameos. (Jean, Gambit, Xavier, Laura, Colossus, etc.)

    It could work in a Castaway situation. Maybe a space mission gone wrong and now Cyke must navigate the stars to return home all the while he grows into a more solitary but slightly less neurotic person.

    One that you can pick out of a group and think "yeah he's the leader"
    Isn't that kind of contradictory?

    And no, I wouldn't watch a solo movie about him: He is too uninteresting alone.
