There is a new Scott Summers / Cyclops in the X-Men movie universe. Actor Tye Sheridan was cast in the role for X-MEN: APOCALYPSE and in an interview with IndieWire, he hinted at his character in the next X-film.
"My character is angry and a bit lost, which I feel like is where I've met a lot of my characters — in these sort of young life transitions where they're struggling to figure things out about themselves. He's now learning about being a mutant and trying to handle his superhero powers. The arc for the character is really cool for me — it's not like I'm just stepping into it and I'm a superhero and it's cool and all that with the suit. You kind of see the progression of this character — where he comes from, what he has to overcome and where he goes at the end of the film. It's a great arc."
In other words, it's part origin story for Cyclops which hasn't really been seen in any of the previous X-Men movies.
X-MEN: APOCALYPSE releases on May 27, 2016.
