Wolverine = most popular
Jean/ Cyclops = to carry on the Logan/Jean/Scott triangle Storm = Halle Berry still has star name value compaired to most of the others from the original films. Also she was team leader when Cyclops was gone. |

Probably because those four characters are some of the most well known x-men of all time.

Wolverine and Storm for (at the time) being the most well-known and recognisable. Possibly also Storm for being double token minority as being both black and a woman. Cyclops because team leader, because comic fans would kick up a fuss if he wasn't included and to play off Wolverine (although never to that much of an extent). Jean as Cyclops' love interest (and Wolverine's, hinted) and as a partner for Storm, I guess.
Like poster said above, Logan/Scott/Jean have the interplay. I guess the other character could have been anyone, but Storm probably had the recognisability factor and the PC factor

I would have expected them myself to be the stars personally, they are the ones I remember along with Beast and Xavier.

I have to say my problem with XMen is how out of sync it is. I would have preferred them to just have the Uncanny Xmen and then first class to have been the originals.
My whole issue with first class (which I cant bear to watch was it wasn't Beast, Cyclops, Angel, Iceman, Marvel Girl, Professor X. The merging and damaging of the timelines from the comics was not great for me. |

The whole thing has been a mess beginning to end, no grand vision like Avengers, just lets bang out as many X-Men films as possible to try & make a few $ they have all been average to dreadful not conveying the brilliance of the comic and it just leaves the whole thing a little flat. The studio is mainly at fault and so is Singer who is a very unimaginative writer / director who is no good at filming action sequences.
