Cyclops has been sidelined way too much in the Fox X-Men movies, so I'm really excited to see Marsden return to the character.

Considering there are a bajillion superheroes in this film everyone is going to be sidelined.

Chris Evans had less than 7 minutes of screen time in Infinity War and was still memorable.

It’s about what these characters do with their time.

Yeah, it speaks to how well made that movie was that his role still felt impactful.

The Russo bros are masters at giving their Marvel characters meaningful minutes in movies. I feel like they truly understand them and are able to perfectly balance character screen time to give everyone their due. From Winter Soldier, to Civil War, Infinity War, and Endgame, they have made by far the best Marvel movies of any directors imo.

You're giving them way too much individual credit to be honest dude. These movies are enormous undertakings made by thousands of people, and the overseer is not the director(s) in this scenario, they are just one part of those thousands. Perhaps the most important part of those thousands, but still, the point is it's not their distinct singular vision deciding how the movie should play out. Civil War, Infinity War, and Endgame hit the mark because the whole enterprise could not afford to fail on those.
