Do you want the X-Men in the MCU?

[Chris B]

I'd love to them introduced someday. But I don't think that its as imperative for them to be so as it is with the Fantastic Four or was with Spider-Man even. And I think mutants may seem redundant at this point considering how Marvel seems to be setting-up the Inhumans.

 

[Spiderine]

Nope......Dont need them. Thats what the Inhumans are gonna be used for.

 

[DaddlerTheDalek]

Yes & no.
It would be cool to have the X-Men in the MCU, but if it works is another question.

 

[Protar]

Nope......Dont need them. Thats what the Inhumans are gonna be used for.

If Marvel ever gets the rights to the X-men back, I expect they'll ditch the mutant terminology and have the X-men be a team of Inhumans.

 

[psylockolussus]

A big no thank you. Would need the both of them to reboot to make it work and thats just not gonna happen and Fox will keep the film rights forever!

 

[kevork89]

No thanks. Much prefer them to different studios. I think Fox is doing great with X-Men and even so it won't work anymore in the Marvel universe.

Said no one ever.

Either way I'll continue not supporting Fox's poor excuse for X-men till it does revert back. I'm Sure I'll be busy with the MCU and DCCU in the meantime.

 

[Dasher10]

No. The X-men are simply too many characters and teams. I'd rather see The FF revert given that the rumors about Trank were confirmed.

It makes perfect sense. At this point it's too late to introduce mutants into the MCU. Firstly because mutants are supposed to have been around for ages and secondly because the Inhumans already fulfil their role perfectly.

What I expect will happen is that in Infinity War a Terrigen Bomb will be dropped, triggering the Terrigenesis of thousands of Inhumans. These will basically serve the purpose as mutants. If Marvel ever gets the rights to mutants back, they can't pretend the mutants were always about and it would be redundant to have another super-empowering event. So we would have the characters but they'd all be Inhumans. Possibly not Wolverine because a big part of his backstory is his long life span.

In any case this may never happen, the Fox X-men films are going strong at the moment and Fox/Marvel relations are not too great. On the otherhand Fox's success has not been very even. The X-men films span from the best superhero films to the worst, they've already had one soft reboot and rumours are there will soon be another after apocalypse. Jackman and Lawrence are leaving soon. It could well all fall apart.

 

[CyclopsWasRight]

No.

Yes and no.

I'd like to see everything under one roof just to see an end to all this pointless animosity between fans and studios.

But there is no way to bring X-Men into the MCU without a total reboot of both. And even if they did that I still might want them to be separate. I've always championed that idea even in the comics.

There is also the fact that Marvel could never do as many X-Men films as we are now getting. They are a Cinematic Universe unto themselves.

The animosity is essentially one sided and if they stop with the rights topic there'd be no animosity. Afterall I've never seen X-Men fans calls for other superhero movies to change studios or flop

...And back to best.

A handful boycotting on protest won't stop the majority going. Look as Bayformers, fans boycott out of principle (deserved in this case) and it achieves nothing as the majority doesnt.

With X-Men movies being mostly critically acclaimed and loved by audiences the chance of them reverting is like 1% so good luck with that.

 

[Mad Ones]

No.

 

[Mike Murdock]

I'm content with what Fox is doing with the X-Men and the separate studio increases the chances of more X-Men productions being made, so my preference right now is no. Just adding Spider-Man (technically financed and produced by Sony with no expenses from Marvel) pushed back the entire MCU schedule. X-Men, on the other hand, is able to add a Deadpool spinoff. They're the one franchise I trust to be competently handled outside of Marvel. Doesn't mean I don't want them back, a shared universe and all that, but I'm willing to wait until things start falling apart again. Had you asked when Last Stand and Origins: Wolverine came out, it would be a different picture.

 

[Steamteck]

No The X-Men work better for me in their own separate universe.

 

[def28]

Won't happen and that's fine since X-Men are in a great position right now. But in a prefect world I would absolutely want them in the MCU. Wolverine fighting alongside Cap, Rogue vs Ms Marvel, Wolverine vs Hulk, Storm and Black Panther etc. Stuff like this would play fantastic with audiences and fans.

In a dream scenario these studios get along and as a result boost X-Men's appeal and merch with audiences, cartoons come back and Fox can continue to make multiple films while Disney does theirs. Would love every second of that.

 

[marvelrobbins]

Nope.

If we stop with this rights crap there would far less arguring online.

Those who like the good X-Men films-X-Men,X2,first class,the wolverine,and
DOFP or some combination probally like some MS films-me case Captain America The winter Soldier,Iron Man,The Incredible hulk-yeah bash me for it-
and to slightly lesser extent Captain America The first Avenger

We don't go around hoping for failure of marvel studios films.

I thought age of ultron at least domesticly may do less than avengers but i have also said I think without any OT cast In it and opening 3 weeks after civil war,same day as alice sequel and a week before TMNT2 apocalypse may do less than DOFP.

And I don't want wolverine or X_Men related characters In Avengers.Just like i don't like Idea of Spider-man in Avengers.

 

[Flint Marko]

I want all the characters to come back home to the company that created them in the first place, but at this point I want the FF more than I want the X-men back.

 

[def28]

Agreed.

Wanting the X-Men separate I completely understand and there's good reason for that. The thing I just don't get is that more then a few on here are like no, X-Men should be on their own. But when rumors started popping up...they were all for F4 and X-Men crossing over. The inclusion of X-Men in the MCU benefits them much more, not only with character connection and story possibilities but with general success. I don't even see how that's up for debate.

 

[the gael]

Why not, if it happens someday. But now the franchise seems resurrected. They both are an universe on their own, and you will need some major reboot for both the MCU and the X-Men movies to make it work. If someday Fox and Disney are in better terms, and an agreement like the Spiderman one is possible, I will be happy, but it's not a priority nor a necessity. The X-Men are not the Fantastic Four. They are a healthy franchise that can survive on their own universe without the MCU.

What's with all the Fox hate? X2 is one of the best superhero films to date, and certainly the best of its time period.

Six out of their eleven films have been some of the worst in the genre. They've definitely improved things for the X-franchise, but the majority of their filmography is either crashingly mediocre (The Wolverine) to downright unwatchable (X-men Origins Wolverine, Daredevil, etc).
I liked DOFP so I'm fine with them holding onto the X-men rights for a little while longer. Deadpool looks great, and I'm interested in Apocalypse, but I think they'd be better off at Marvel.

FOX has two problems which may explain that :

1) All of their Marvel movie outside of their X Men movies sucks. Even X Men 3 and Wolverine : origin were terrible. With Vaughn and the return of Bryan Singer, the X Men franchise has improved in quality, but garbage like Elektra and Wolverine Origin are hard to forget for the fans.

And, outside of X Men, FOX has everything to prove, which lead us to point 2....

2) The Fantastic Four fiasco. Should I write more ?

I have no problem at all with FOX keeping the X Men rights, since, with Singer or Vaughn, they can do a good job. I really liked X Men : First class and DOFP. The Wolverine... Well, it is a mixed bag. The intimists scenes in southern Japan or Canada were really, really good. To bad the Viper ruined any scene she was in (and reminded me how bad the first Wolverine movie was. She was the one dimensional cheesy character that doesn't belong to an otherwise very good movie) As for the future, Apocalypse really interest me and Deadpool seems very promising.

 

[CyclopsWasRight]

Most recent fox blockbuster I can think of was Dawn of The Planet of The Apes which was awesome. And while probably not considered a blockbuster Kingsmen was a success so don't see how they have anything to prove outside of X-Men.

While I agree that all their marvel movies outside of X-Men were mediocre there hasn't been one one since 2007 or a suckish X-Men one since 2009. Seems those are remembered like they were yesterday and held above the success of recent times. Fox now isn't the same as Fox then, how many good movies do they have to deliver before people cease using past movies as a barometer?

There is no Fantastic Four fiasco as the movie isn't out yet to be called such. Marketing was/is on schedule so the only issue is rumours of the directors temperament.

 

[Codex Tesseract]

I'm predicting Fantastic Four will be surprisingly good.

 

[CyclopsWasRight]

I'm predicting Fantastic Four will be surprisingly good.

Things to suggest it could be bad:

Rocky production

Things to suggest it could be good:

Last superhero movie by the studio was acclaimed
Last movie from the director was acclaimed
Last movies from the writer was acclaimed
Last "bad" marvel movie from the studio was in 2009 or six years ago
Talented cast

Movie could very well end up bad but it's got more going for it than against it.

 

[Codex Tesseract]

Well, to be fair, there are some additional suggestions of bad:
Director told cast not to read the comic books because;
Movie will have very little basis in the source material
Doom is a blogger and that is his hacker name
