Just to throw in people talking about how Marvel will change things up.
I expect some MAJOR changes if/when they get the rights back to X-Men. More radical than most fans are going to be prepared for, because while a number of mutants haven't been done great by Fox/Singer, the bones of the piece (tolerance, peaceful dissent vs. radicalism, a school and oasis for alienated and isolated teens) has actually been done very well... and to death.
While they can focus on getting Storm better as a leader and letting the team have more soapy dynamics and whacky adventures... the core principles could see some radical changes. For instance, I kind of like the idea of something like Jeffrey Wright as Charles Xavier and Denzel Washington as Magneto.
You need to completely reframe the piece. If you don't think they will look at every character in SM:HC who isn't Peter Parker.
... the Fantastic Four? Just doing it right will be different enough. That requires less reinvention and more efficiency.
Isn't "the same MLK vs. Malcolm X metaphor... only now its more literal cause they are black now!" a little too on the nose and obvious?
