"As revealed by one leaked trailer and reported by various outlets, including , the next trailer for Avengers: Doomsday will almost certainly feature the return of James Marsden as Cyclops. Did we already know that Mardsen was back? Yes. Do we fully understand how the Marvel Cinematic Universe will integrate the Fox X-Men universe? No. But in the leaked footage, Cyclops will be rocking the old-school blue and yellow costume for the first time."
"In the X-Men movies, Marsden's take on Scott Summers put him in the unenviable role of "serious guy" in opposition to Wolverine's (Hugh Jackman) "cool guy." In X-Men: The Last Stand (2006), Cyclops was unceremoniously sent to the superhero grave, which felt like a punishment for the character's grouchy personality. Meanwhile, the scene we're getting in the next trailer sounds like it's taken straight from the intro of the classic X-Men cartoon: Cyclops shooting an optic blast into the sky."
"Despite his role in the existing live-action films, Scott Summers is more than just the guy who has an optic blast and gets mad at Wolverine for trying to steal his girlfriend, Jean Grey. In most incarnations of the X-Men, he's the group's de facto leader and the true heart of the team, something the animated shows have nailed but the live-action films have fumbled."
Leaked Avengers: Doomsday footage indicates James Marsden returns as Cyclops, appearing in the classic blue-and-yellow costume. The footage shows an optic blast into the sky reminiscent of the classic X-Men cartoon intro. How the Fox X-Men universe will integrate with the Marvel Cinematic Universe remains unclear, implying Marsden could portray a variant of Scott Summers. In earlier live-action X-Men films, Cyclops served as the serious foil to Wolverine and was killed in X-Men: The Last Stand (2006). Scott Summers is often the team's de facto leader and emotional core, a role animated series executed better than the live-action films.
