Marvel Films MCU X-Men - Part 4

[Iceman]

I don’t mind Cyclops and Jean being the leads, preferably Storm too. I wouldn’t even mind Beast, but definitely not Wolverine this time.

 

[Iceman]

I know some people don't like the idea of "leads" in these films, but the reality is, that's how most ensemble films are structured, including the Avengers films.

Fox anchored the OT around Logan, and then Charles & Erik in the PT, specifically, because those are the characters who could carry the narrative; stories compelling enough to anchor a narrative around.

If it was up to me, the story of Scott & Jean (and Sinister by extension) would the narrative anchor of these new films, because the Summers family is a narrative goldmine that Fox never touched, and it could carry an entire trilogy.

How would you view Fox Rogue? She had an important part of the narrative but does she still count a lead being one of the junior characters?

 

[Silvermoth]

I mean the easiest way would be have an entry character like jubilee or shadowcat as the lead and the x-men are seen through her eyes

 

[Marvel united]

How would you view Fox Rogue? She had an important part of the narrative but does she still count a lead being one of the junior characters?

Absolutely. Rogue was the audience surrogate in the first act, before they passed it to Logan in the second (meeting the X-Men). But Rogue also served symbolic purpose of being the purest personification of the mutant experience.

 

[psylockolussus]

I want Psylocke, Storm, Cyclops, Jean, Rogue, Iceman to be the leads.

 

[Frodo]

I mean the easiest way would be have an entry character like jubilee or shadowcat as the lead and the x-men are seen through her eyes

Yeah.
I'd prefer it to be Jubilee myself.
I didn't see AOA or Dark Phoenix ,so I don't know if she had a bigger roles in thoses film, but in the other films, she didn't have a chance to shine.

We saw her take that role in the 90s X Men cartoon , but not in live action

So I'd like her be our entry point in the Marvel X Men Films.

 

[Lip]

so I don't know if she had a bigger roles in thoses film

They didn't even say her name out loud.

Jubilee is certainly one of those characters that really deserves some love in the MCU.

 

[Da-Scribe]

Jubilee seems exactly like the sorta character Marvel would center in an X-Men film and I’m all for that.

 

[Iceman]

I think she has a great chance of featuring in a big way in the first film.

 

[squeekness]

Fine by me as well.

 

[Lip]

Jubilee seems exactly like the sorta character Marvel would center in an X-Men film and I’m all for that.

I remember watching the first trailer for Ms Marvel and thinking about a Jubilee show. Very bright, very colourful, very fun, very young, very comicbook-ish... that's a vibe a see for her.

 

[SumT]

100% agreed. She is perfect for Marvel Studios X-Men #1. perfect.
young, asian, female, positive vibe and totally wasted by Fox, so general audience doesnt even know her yet.
and.... she was in the biggest X-Men animated show ever. So.... she has a 90% chance of being included on the first roster. And yeah, Im for that too.

Y'know, I was thinking the same thing

Especially with the song choice

 

[Iceman]

A Jubilee show could work really well in that style. Hopefully that’s on the radar.

 

[Marvel united]

A Jubilee show could work really well in that style. Hopefully that’s on the radar.

And Jubilee as the audience surrogate presents great opportunity for them to (emotionally) plug the story into Scott & Ororo, as they all share the same background of being orphans.

You could easily imagine these 3 forming a very close bond. Thats the heart of the film right there.

 

[HydraSith12]

In the MCU earth humans have already seen crazy stuff Aliens Gods Wizards why would mutants be different? the MCU should explain in depth why mutants are different compared to other heroes and why they are feared

 

[Wolvieboy17]

I feel like we've talked a lot on here about what characters everyone wants to see but I'm curious, what are some classic X-Men storylines/events/arcs that people would love to see in the MCU?

I'd love to see Messiah Complex happen at some point, and Mutant Massacre would be great. I've said before, but I'd love some kinda Squid Game-esque riff on Murderworld. Would also love to see The Brood in there somewhere and I think Age of Apocalypse is so worthy of redemption, as a major Avengers style arc after a couple of mutant film phases :P

 

[Sithborg]

I think we will be sick of the multiverse by then, and I really think people mistake what the actual AoA story was. Apocalypse really wasn't that big of a factor in the stories. Fall of the Mutants, Endgame, and The Twelve are generally better Apocalypse stories. I always enjoyed how they used him in the X-cutioner's Song as well.

 

[Silvermoth]

Yeah.
I'd prefer it to be Jubilee myself.
I didn't see AOA or Dark Phoenix ,so I don't know if she had a bigger roles in thoses film, but in the other films, she didn't have a chance to shine.

We saw her take that role in the 90s X Men cartoon , but not in live action

So I'd like her be our entry point in the Marvel X Men Films.

I also would love to see Jubilee. I reckon the chances of her being the “main” character are reasonably high

 

[Dcs72]

A point I would like to make with Jubilee is that I'd totally forgotten she was in Apocalypse until it was mentioned here. My rule in that case is such characters are fine to use.

Too many to count. But I think the prime ones for me would be-- Savage Land, Mutant Massacre, Fatal Attractions, and God Loves, Man Kills

 

[Lip]

Oh, I'll second that: Mutant Massacre, Fatal Attraction and God Loves, Man Kills. Adding Messiah Complex as well.

God Loves, Man Kills is one of my favorites, but technically was already adapted in X2. Technically, at least.

And for an Endgame type of event, I wouldn't want to see a big bad guy like Apocalypse. I would like to see a story about the survival and future of mutant kind, where mutants are divided in different groups with different approaches and ideologies.

 

[Iceman]

I would love to see Magneto with Genosha and a bunch of acolytes done properly.

 

[SumT]

real Genosha this time, please.

 

[BoredGuy]

Ohhh, hadn't thought about the acolytes, that would be fun (does anyone know if the Acolytes are currently on Krakoa in the comics? Haven't seen them)

But yeah, Fatal Attractions and Messiah Complex are up there for me

Age of Apocalypse could be amazing (even though I'm already tiring of multiverses, but AoA was the best alternate timeline story ever done by Marvel)

Would also love to see a potential Wolverine trilogy reflect his best run of comics: from Aaron's Get Mystique One Shot to Weapon X series, through his solo, onto Uncanny X-Force and Wolverine & the X-Men... that era was peak Logan imo
