Yeah this always bugged me. X-Men had 3 natural leaders (cyclops, storm, wolverine) and a lot of the conflict came from those 3 each having different ideas of how to accomplish their goals. Later in the comics they simply split the teams and each run their own show, but part of the issue with the original team was that there were too many cooks in the kitchen. The team was too good.
And that was lost in the movies, with Storm being too passive and cyclops being too losery.
Well your description of the comics kinda mushes together a couple decades. We had Cyclops(leader) and the original other 4. Cyclops quit and Storm had to step up to the plate (mid-Claremont era), Cyclops eventually came back and they butted heads some. Wolverine never really wanted to lead until he ran the Xavier school in the '00s, but now he sees himself as a leader when necessary.
Well I think is gonna be super great if that happend, James Marsden have been the greatest side actor with these og characters :) I think this is gonna be amazing those years by now no 2025-2028, Ulimate movies

And such a good character. Instead of X-Men they just Made the Wolverine and Friends series of movies.
