Please have Cyclops return as a lead role in "X-Men 4"

Created 1/9/2007:


We, the fans, would like to see Cyclops alive and a major role in "X-Men 4". His roles in the three movies have been minimal, particularly "X-Men: The Last Stand", in which he apparently was killed by Jean Grey shortly after her resurrection. This "death" scene (in which we never actually saw him die) has gained the ire of fans and non-fans alike of Cyclops and we would very much like for it to be revealed that Cyclops is only believed dead. Of all the X-Men characters, Cyclops has always been the most under-used and under-developed characters of all the male X-Men characters and we'd very much like to see him portrayed as the leader of the X-Men as he rightfully is in the comics. With no offense intended to fans of Halle Berry's Storm, but Cyclops truly is the better leader, but since he's barely been seen in the movies, moviegoers wouldn't know it. Even actor James Marsden isn't convinced his character is dead and he has said he wants to reprise his role as Cyclops, a rarity for actors involved with comic movies. Please help correct that mistake by revealing Cyclops to be alive and grant him a leading role as one of the X-Men in the fourth installment of the X-Men franchise.
