Im not sure if Cyclops could hold his own in a stand alone movie, although granted im not gonna pretend to know a lot about his prominense in the comics so perhaps there is considerable amount of resource there to work with. For me, his portrayal in the first 3 films really didnt work for me although cant really blame that on the character. Thought he was wooden, unfunny despite attempts at humour and just sort of vanished into the background for me.

Yeah Cyclops is unbelievably bland in the films, but i don't even blame the actor. The character is basically pushed into the background and when he does have something to do he has none of the attributes the character should have. Don't have much faith in the new version either, young and inexperienced version of the character whose still not the leader of the X-men, this time because of Mystique (who has gotten very annoying).

Yeah, really can't see the appeal of mystique as a character. Despite having a cool ability (who would want to be able to shape shift into any one, imagine the possibilities). Do hope she, as a character, never gets her own standalone film..can see that being incredibly dull).

Release date has changed again, filming due to start at the end of 2016, starting to think we're never going to see this film
I'll be very surprised if this film ever sees the light of day, not really a good sign for any film having its release date pushed back so many times. Probably for the best, the films that do come out after that many delays don't turn out great most of the time. Get the feeling they want to cancel this film but don't want to do officially cancel it.
