Celebrating X-Men Films And Beyond

A closer look at Cyclops’ new futuristic glasses. #XMen

Throughout the “X-Men” franchise we’ve seen Cyclops (young and old) wear different styles of glasses to keep his mutant powers from destroying everything in sight. Things were no different for his cameo in X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST, where fans saw Scott Summers alive and well, wearing a pair of funky futuristic shades.

Actor James Marsden was fitted with a customized pair of “Radarlock” glasses by Oakley. “I already had an idea of what I wanted [for Cyclops] and when I came to Oakley I discovered that the RadarLock was exactly what I had envisioned and to top it off it fit Marsden’s very angular face perfectly,” said prop master, Simone Leclerc.

Designers had just 2 1/2 days to create the eyewear for filming.
