Sequels X-Men Orgins: Cyclops

[Fresh Prince]

Why not since eveyone esle getting an orgin story and he a cool popular character. Any ideas on how the movie should be?

He's got OPTIC BLAST people!, OPTIC BLAST!, ofcourse he should have his own film, he doesn't even have to act, all he has to do is OPTIC BLAST people all throughout it.


No i'm not being sarcastic, yes i'm kidding......sorry....in a bit of a goofy mood

could be cool though, Havoc should be in it

Hey I'd be for this idea. Cyclops deserves a lot more than what he got LOL.

 

[Fresh Prince]

Agreed he should get his own orgin movie.

 

[TheVelvetOnion]

no... Cyclops past is too closely tied to the x-mens past so he wouldnt indirectly get a origin story, he would simply appear in first class and it would be told there.

 

[Fresh Prince]

So he cannot have his own movie?

 

[TheVelvetOnion]

only because hes too wound tight on x-men that he couldnt not have a solo cyclops movie where what would you talk about? Cyclops sat in a rocking chair reminicing of his times as an x-man...cause he sure hasnt done much else.

The first class film should be good enough. I mean it would cover a young Cyclops. What should happen is Xmen 4-6 and Cyclops needs to be ressurected.

To echo what others have said, unless you did the adventures of Cyclops in the orphanage with Mr Sinister, there's not much source material to draw from. With regards to origins, I enjoyed the conceit the X-films have had so far opening with parts of different characters origins. 1st movie had Magneto and Rogue, 3rd movie had Jean - although I wish they had done the bit where her friend is hit by the car and Jean finds herself in her friend's mind as she dies. To a lesser extent in X2 where they intro Nightcrawler and show Wolverine investigating Alkali lake.
If the series had continued, as I believe it should, an opening sequence with Scott being thrown out of his parent descending plane with one parachute to share with his younger brother and the injury that resulted in his optic blast being uncontrollable would have followed. Include the bit from some depictions that show that it was his manifesting optic blast that damaged the chute for extra pathos. Leave the reason for the plane crash vague so you have the option of bringing in aliens later when the series needs to take a turn to the space operatic.
