Films
In the feature film X-Men (2000) and its sequels X2 (2003) and X-Men: The Last Stand (2006), Cyclops is portrayed by James Marsden. Although an important figure and leader in the comics, his role in the films, however, is increasingly reduced in favour of Wolverine. Many fans were upset by the handling of the character and one IGN contributor wrote: "Cyclops was misunderstood, miswritten, misdirected and generally mismanaged in this series." In the prequel X-Men Origins: Wolverine set 17 years before the X-Men series, actor Tim Pocock makes an appearance as a young Scott Summers.
