Here's your defense of Cyclops:

Are they adding him to the movie? The X-franchise certainly isn't using him. Maybe Marsden can return as the guy Superman steals Lois away from again, since he plays those characters so well.

Despite not being related to Linda Carter, the similarity is striking in that shot.

Cyclops was always my favorite X-Men character. Marvel has treated him pretty badly since the early 1980s, when Wolverine started becoming more and more popular.

I never liked Cyclops yet even I felt that they shit all over the character in all three movies (technically four if you count his Origins bit part).

Ah Ashley Tesoro. I had such a crush on her from Saved by the Bell: The New Class. In fact I think she's probably the second hottest girl in the Saved by the Bell franchise period.

Then you sir have not been paying attention. Cyclops' unpopularity has been going strong for 30+ years. It started out that he was just a goody-goody wet blanket who wouldn't let Wolverine be awesome, but the hatred reached a fever pitch when he walked out on his wife and child the moment Jean Grey came back to life. The blandness of his cartoon version and douchey portrayal in the movies didn't help matters any. Maybe he's more popular with the comic crowd now that he's all tough and stuff, but there's always been a segment of fans that has despised him.

I think having him dump Jean (just before they killed her off again) for Emma Frost was an attempt to make him cool. Still don't get the vibe that much of anyone loves the character.

as disliked as cyclops is, he still gets more play than superman in his own pseudo-sequel thread

They could cast him as Lois's boyfriend; Supes is dating WW in the comics anyway, and I doubt there's room for much of Lois in this movie unless she's going to develop superpowers or something.

Exclusive: Batman Vs. Superman To Include Lex Luthor’s Assistant Mercy Graves
http://comicbook.com/blog/2014/06/18...s-assistant-m/
Over the last several days, Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice has been filming scenes in Michigan which are set at LexCorp, and recent reports have indicated that those scenes involved Jesse Eisenberg playing a blonde-haired Lex Luthor. Now, ComicBook.com has heard from a source that backs up those scene descriptions, plus provides a little bit of additional information.
According to our source, Lex Luthor does indeed have long blonde hair. However, our source indicates describing his look as Kurt Cobain might be a stretch, because while the hair matches, the wardrobe does not. Our source describes his hair as “a long straight surfer mop.”
Our source also indicates the reports of Holly Hunter playing a U.S. Senator are accurate. Furthermore, our source added that Hunter’s character is visiting LexCorp with a congressman (played by an as of yet unidentified actor). In one scene, Lex has an interaction with the congressman, where Lex seems “to embarrass or be very disrespectful to the congressmen on his way out.”
In a piece of new information that we haven’t seen reported elsewhere yet, our source indicated that Japanese actress Tao Okamoto is playing Lex Luthor’s assistant, who is named “Mercy.” In the comic books and Superman animated series, Mercy Graves is Lex’s personal assistant and body guard, where she is portrayed as highly intelligent and experienced in hand-to-hand combat. Tao Okamoto previously appeared as Mariko Yashida in 2013′s The Wolverine.
Our source also offered that they felt that Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice’s interpretation of Lex Luthor is much better than it might sound from initial descriptions, describing him as “a slimy businessman we can all despise.” Our source indicated, “You are going to hate this guy. You are going to root for him to be punched by Supes when he weasels his way out of legal trouble. He is cocky and confident because he is THAT good at what he does. He's a billionaire who knows he is more powerful than the Senator and Congressman visiting because he's a billionaire.”
Our source also indicated that Lex’s security force at LexCorp ranged from mall cop to SWAT force type security. In regards to LexCorp, our source indicated, “This is a high tech mega billion company with a shiny veneer. It's Apple/Google, colorful and consumer friendly public image but serious potential for Lex's deviousness.”

Actually, it is a fail. Lex always fancies himself as the biggest thing in Metropolis and enjoys towering over anyone. Unless the film explains that his building was totaled by the Wayne satellite debris during the Zod-Superman fight, that building is stupid. I also don't care for the X logo.
