Scott first appears inX-Men (2000) alongside Storm, rescuing Logan and Rogue from Sabretooth and bringing them to the X-Mansion. He finds his fiancée Jean Grey and Logan together, causing him to threaten Logan by telling him that he should stay away from her. Scott goes to the train station with Storm to retrieve Rogue when she leaves, where he is attacked by Toad who removes his visor. After having his visor replaced, Scott finds out that Cerebro was sabotaged and that Xavier is now hospitalized. He leads the other X-Men to the final battle at the Statue of Liberty. Scott uses his charged up visor to blast Sabretooth from the Statue and to his apparent death. They foil Magneto's plot and rescue Rogue. Logan leaves the Mansion to go to Alkali Lake using Scott's motorcycle.
InX2: X-Men United (2003), which takes place a few months after the first film, Scott finds out that Jean is having weird reoccurring dreams and changes to her mutant abilities. On the day Logan returns to the mansion, Scott accompanies Professor Xavier to Magneto's cell, where they are both kidnapped by Lady Deathstrike and brought to the base at Alkali Lake where Scott is programmed by General William Stryker to serve him.

After they reunite, suit up and board a plane, the group travel to Egypt. Scott battles the Horseman Storm and is about to defeat her until she joins the X-Men's side against Apocalypse. At the end of the battle, Scott uses his powers alongside Xavier's mind control and Jean's Phoenix abilities to destroy and kill Apocalypse.
