This is a list of fictional characters in the X-Men film series. Based on the X-Men comic book series which began in the 1960s, the characters were first introduced in film with the release of the first X-Men movie in 2000.

A prequel trilogy would begin with X-Men: First Class (2011), featuring a young Magneto, Professor X and Mystique. The 2014 X-Men: Days of Future Past , acted as a sequel to both the original trilogy and prequel trilogy, taking place in both time periods, altering the timeline and erasing the original trilogy's events. X-Men: Apocalypse (2018), and Dark Phoenix take place in the revised timeline and finish the prequel trilogy.
The franchise also spawned a solo Wolverine trilogy - X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009), The Wolverine (2013) and Logan (2017) - and a Deadpool film trilogy. The third film in the Deadpool trilogy - Deadpool & Wolverine (2022) - takes part within the MCU, with elements from the Fox X-Men and Deadpool universe's.

Scott Summers/Cyclops (portrayed by James Marsden as an adult, Tim Pocock as a teenager in the original timeline and Tye Sheridan as a teenager in the revised timeline) is a mutant and member of the X-Men who can fire destructible laser beams from his eyes and wears either sunglasses or a special visor to protect them.
Scott first appears in X-Men (2000) alongside Storm, rescuing Logan and Rogue from Sabretooth and bringing them to the X-Mansion. He finds his fiancée Jean Grey and Logan together, causing him to threaten Logan by telling him that he should stay away from her. Scott goes to the train station with Storm to retrieve Rogue when she leaves, where he is attacked by Toad who removes his visor. After having his visor replaced, Scott finds out that Cerebro was sabotaged and that Xavier is now hospitalized. He leads the other X-Men to the final battle at the Statue of Liberty. Scott uses his charged up visor to blast Sabretooth from the Statue and to his apparent death. They foil Magneto's plot and rescue Rogue. Logan leaves the Mansion to go to Alkali Lake using Scott's motorcycle.
In X2: X-Men United (2003), which takes place a few months after the first film, Scott finds out that Jean is having weird reoccurring dreams and changes to her mutant abilities. On the day Logan returns to the mansion, Scott accompanies Professor Xavier to Magneto's cell, where they are both kidnapped by Lady Deathstrike and brought to the base at Alkali Lake where Scott is programmed by General William Stryker to serve him. Scott is deprogrammed when he attacks Jean and gets knocked out, and leaves with the X-Men. Scott is devastated when Jean sacrifices herself to launch the X-Jet as an impending wave from the damaged Alkali Lake is imminent. In X-Men: The Last Stand (2006), Scott is still mourning Jean and goes to Alkali Lake where he sees her walk out of the water still alive. Scott is killed by her new powers, with a proper funeral then happening for him a few weeks later outside the X-Mansion.
In X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009), a teenage Scott in 1988 is first seen getting detention for wearing sunglasses in a classroom and is attacked by mutant Victor Creed who kidnaps him and imprisons him on Three Mile Island. Scott and the others are freed from their cells by Wolverine and Kayla Silverfox who help them escape the base and go outside where they meet telepath Charles Xavier who takes them into his X-Jet and recruits them as X-Men.
After the timeline is revised, Scott is resurrected and is briefly seen in the new timeline in 2023 alongside Jean Grey in the X-Mansion.
In X-Men: Apocalypse (2016), a teenage Scott in 1983 gains his powers for the first time at school and accidentally knocks out a bully which causes his older brother Alex to relocate him to the X-Mansion where he is introduced to Hank McCoy and Charles Xavier who tests Scott on his abilities and give him special sunglasses. After getting settled in the mansion, Scott meets Jean Grey, Jubilee and Nightcrawler. The 4 of them hang out at a mall before then coming back to witness a destroyed X-Mansion which is where Scott finds out that Alex died in the explosion that destroyed the mansion. After reeling over his brother's death, Scott, alongside Jean and Kurt, reunites with Hank and meets Mystique, Quicksilver and Moira MacTaggert. William Stryker arrives, capturing Beast, Quicksilver, Mystique and Moira, bringing them to his base in Alkali Lake and interrogates them. Scott, Jean and Kurt stow away on the plane and into the base. Jean releases a mysterious mutant (Wolverine), who begins to massacre all the guards of Stryker's facility whilst they rescue the others that were captured. As Wolverine heads out, he runs into the three mutants and is about to kill them until Jean restores some of his forgotten memories, causing him to leave the facility and for the group to reunite with the others. After they reunite, suit up and board a plane, the group travel to Egypt. Scott battles the Horseman Storm and is about to defeat her until she joins the X-Men's side against Apocalypse. At the end of the battle, Scott uses his powers alongside Xavier's mind control and Jean's Phoenix abilities to destroy and kill Apocalypse. After the X-Mansion has been rebuilt, Scott uses a visor given to him by Hank and stands in the Danger Room with Jean, Nightcrawler, Storm, Quicksilver, and Mystique who is now the team leader of the new X-Men team.
Prior to the events of Logan (2017), it is said that sometime in 2028, Charles Xavier suffered from a massive seizure caused by his Alzheimer's which had killed 7 mutants alongside injuring 50 others. It is presumed that Scott was one of the mutants who died.
Scott makes a brief uncredited cameo appearance in Deadpool 2 (2018) where he is seen having a meeting in Xavier's office with the other X-Men and notices Deadpool talking loudly outside, causing Hank to close the door.
In X-Men: Dark Phoenix (2019), 9 years have passed since the battle in Egypt and in 1992, Scott is called along with the other X-Men to rescue 2 astronauts who are trapped in space. While on the mission, a mysterious cosmic entity named the Phoenix Force arrives and attacks them with Jean being the one most affected by it. After returning to Earth, Scott (now in a relationship with Jean), finds out that she is suffering from problems with her powers and asks she is ok, only for her powers to attack him. The next day, Scott finds out that Jean has left the X-Mansion, causing him and the X-Men along with Charles to track her location and arrive her father John's house. They confront Jean, who injures Quicksilver, Storm, and Hank and accidentally kills Mystique. After Mystique's funeral, Scott finds out that Hank has joined Magneto due to the both of them feeling grief for Mystique and wanting revenge on Jean. Scott tells Charles and they go with Storm and Nightcrawler to New York where the 3 fight Magneto's team over Jean's life before they are then knocked out and taken by the US Military in collars to a mutant internment facility. Whilst on the train, Scott convinces Magneto's team to not kill Jean. The train is then attacked by the D'Bari who want to kill Jean and take the Phoenix Force, causing the X-Men alongside Magneto's Brotherhood to break free from their collars, band together and fight against the aliens before Jean finally transforms into the Dark Phoenix, kills the D'Bari, and sacrifices herself to destroy the Phoenix Force inside of her. Scott, depressed and grieving Jean, witnesses Charles quit as the school headmaster, give the title to Hank and finally change the name of the school from Xavier's to Jean Grey's School for Gifted Youngsters to honor her memory.
