X-Men The Official MCU X-Men News and Discussion Thread

Lmao lots of people got caught by that.

I love Neve and Polaris so it’s wonderful even if it’s for the cartoon
 
Polaris next to Magneto on Doomsday would have been fire, and totally unexpected but exciting addition.

sadly, its just to voice the role. Oh well, we x-men fans just cant have it all. as always
 
The Foxverse cast is more than enough for Doomsday. If this was a brand new X-Men film for the Fox cast, then I would want new faces to star with them.

Still need to have Halle, Anna, Famke and Shawn to be announced for Doomsday and Secret Wars.
 
word is he passed on the project.

Do you guys really think Feige didnt have a meeting with Ryan Coogler about X-Men, when they have worked together nicely all these years?
He clearly passed on the project, same as many other directors (MCU or not)
 
Ryan Coogler directing X-Men is just not realistic, especially Black Panther 3 isn't even released yet.
 
that has nothing to do with X-Men.
If he really wanted to direct X-Men, he would have said yes over Black Panther 3. Directors moving to other IPs is usual. even inside the comicbook industry.
so he clearly wasnt that interested in the X-Men after all. This is a "once in a lifetime" oportunity, to direct Marvel Studios's first X-Men film. So Im sure many directors in Holywood would kill to get this chance..... while others, more established likely feel this "has been done already" so preffer new concepts and original films over another version of the X-Men, the third version on the big screen, to be precise (this plays a factor for d*** sure)

I'd go a step further and say many established directors would love to work on an X-Men project but simply won't because Marvel is known as a producer driven studio over a "director-friendly" one. Now, I'd say more major studios are like this in 2025 because the industry is on shaky grounds at this moment in time, but Marvel and Feige has that rep more than anyone. Even Star Wars which is in the toilet has a much better reputation among the director fraternity if I had to wager.

I mean, not even directing. Get Coogler to produce it (like the goddamn Russos are being rumored to be). I mean, him being a producer on Ironheart gives it more value than originally.

But, I think there is a more obvious reason why a black directors pitch for an X-men movie would be rejected. One I think that has been plaguing Blade.
 
Directing is easier and done. Ryan Coogler doesn't seem like the type of director would settle on making movies under a franchise, that is heavily curated by a studio like Marvel Studios. We aren't getting Black Panther 3 as soon as possible, as Coogler decided to choose to direct Sinners first.

I don't think something like that is the best for the X-Men movies, if we want to see a handful of X-Men movies as soon as possible. Even if he wants to direct the X-Men, I can definitely see him prioritizing Black Panther 3 over X-Men. He is attached to Black Panther 3 and not the X-Men after all.
 
latest set video has gotten more X-citing :astonish::party:

go to @UnBoxPHDFILM on twitter or youtube.

here is a glimpse:

I just cannot muster any excitement with these rumoured new cast members, when the Foxverse cast members are about to return after more than ten years.
 
I can, Colmin is an inspired choice as Charles especially if they team him with denzel as Magneto.

Daisy I don’t know but she seems like a lovely Jean. Her name reminds me of Daisy from Spaced
 
Daisy is an incredible actress, very natural and so talented. I would be really pleased if she gets signed.
she's not a red head, neither have green eyes, but honestly I dont care about that in this particular case.

Same, Famke Janssen was in the same boat and made it work. She still is my favorite version of movie Jean so far.
 
I saw Twisters, and she doesn't look fitting as Jean to me. Though much better choice than Sadie Sink.
 
Colman Domingo as Xavier would be fine by me. He’s a great actor.

Not really feeling Denzel as Magneto but I guess it could work.
 
So, since Denzel was saying he would be in BP3, are we saying Magneto is the villain of Black Panther 3 then? Cause that would be amazing
 
I’m not even getting my hopes up because if Denzel is MCU Magnus, you won’t be able to tell me a damn thing.
 
The latest rumor from MyTimeToShineHello , is that Marvel Studios would like Daniel Day Lewis to play Magneto.

I could believe that Marvel Studios would want DDL for the role, but , i'd also like to be 6'3 and be driving a Red Corvette . :lol:

I find it pretty hard to believe Lewis would agree to play the role , but I'd be pleasantly surprised if he said yes.

This is Hollywood, and you can never say never, but I highly doubt it will happened.

But , I'd be cool with either Denzel or Daniel as Magento.

Heck, I'd be fine with a combo ,of either one, as Charles and Erik. :cool:
