Whether or not people would see a Cyclops stand alone is an irrelevant question. These characters have no drive or motive. Raven, Charles and Eric have drive and motive. You can give that to the other characters without devoting a whole film or even more than a few minutes of screen time here or there. Not a 2 hour character study.
Okay. Let's take Scott for example. He developed powers he could not control. His brother, former XMen, took him to professor X to get help. Hank and Charles help him control his powers. Scott's brother then dies by Apoc. So he has a revenge motives due to his brother getting killed and the trust he built with Charles and Hank because they helped/are helping him control his powers. Plus, the world is ending.

What more do you want from a side character?
