The Cyclops/Scott Summers Thread

[FrankenCastle]

The cast of First Class, Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix aren't also beloved.

Except for Charles and Erik. Kelsey Grammar played Beast one time in a bad movie, he's still better regarded than Nicholas Hoult who played him for 4 movies.

Fox writers and directors just didnt know how to adapt these X-Men and make the general audience love each one of them. Crazy to think Fox had the best team but failed with this goal most of the times.
really crazy.

Nicholas Hoult was not a good casting as Beast.

Nicholas Hoult was not a good casting as Beast.

He kinda grew on me ngl, but yeah, he lacked that sophisticated charm and that signature intellectual wit and erudition, we had yet to see him delivering Shakespearean quotes with effortless gravitas in a fatherly, authoritative voice.

Him appearing in human form post-FC also hurt. That era was just a mess.

 

[MilkmanDan]

Nicholas Hoult was not a good casting as Beast.

He would have been a solid young Cyclops though. Both in terms of looks and how he played the role

 

[psylockolussus]

I don't think he would have been commanding enough as Cyclops too.

Sometimes it felt like the old guard just got a bunch of actors they like and then just did a search for x-men they could play
