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

I hope they'll give her long hair!

I thought she looked best in DOFP. Plus I just love Halle with shorter hair. Really thought she was gonna pop up in D&W when she teased her haircut lol but it ended up being The Union on Netflix.

Halle does seem very nice, but she was still so miscast I don't need to see her come back
would rather get Famke's Jean, but unfortunately she looks...odd... now after too much plastic surgery

I’d love to see Famke too. And she still looks good; I think she just has a bad habit of hitting the red carpet too soon after getting some fillers and Botox. Lol all said in love; some of fave Real Housewives have the same issue. Just needs to let it settle; she looked good in Boy Kills World and that Netflix movie Knights of Zodiac.

All of this.

I wouldn't put stock in seeing Rogue either in Secret Wars, last I remember Anna Paquin was dealing with an illness.

I could see them bringing Sophie Turner back though.

[AndrewGilkison]

She could potentially be too busy being a bad Lara Croft to play Jean again.

 

[Silvermoth]

I like Sophie and I think you’re all being really mean

 

[psylockolussus]

Yeah I definitely don't want to see Sophie Turner again as Jean. The era of Apocalypse/Dark Phoenix was a bad combo. They wasted all the goodwill from Days of Future Past.

Its a good thing, Marvel Studios have only brought back the OT cast in the mcu movies. Hopefully that would be the case in Doomsday and Secret Wars.

 

[Silvermoth]

I was wondering, should they give it a new name to differentiate it from the last x-men franchise? Uncanny x-men is a bit dorky but astonishing x-men could be fun

 

[BoredGuy]

Yeah Uncanny is a little odd, I wouldn't mind Astonishing

Just not X-Treme X-Men, please.. lol
enjoyed the comic but god its a bad name

 

[psylockolussus]

Just call it Marvel Studios' X-Men. These titles are a bit odd, and would have been better if they just kept it simple.

The Incredible Hulk
Captain America: The First Avenger
The Avengers (in other countries, its Avengers Assemble)
Spider-Man: Homecoming
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
The Fantastic 4: First Steps

While The Marvels is probably the worst title ever for a MCU movie.

 

[Silvermoth]

Yeah Uncanny is a little odd, I wouldn't mind Astonishing

Just not X-Treme X-Men, please.. lol

Haha x-Treme is a bit too 90s

 

[BobJM]

I see McAvoy and Fassbender potentially returning full time. You could convince me Jennifer Lawrence wants back in too.

But I doubt we see Sheridan, Shipp, or Turner. I suspect the OT cast will be the ones featured in Secret Wars, if at all.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

God please not Astonishing either. Just gives me a cat looking Beast, Kitty Pryde and Emma Frost vibes. Ugh.

For some reason I could so see them calling it Marvel’s All New All Different X-Men.

 

[BoredGuy]

Yeah, but it also has "Badass Cyclops" and "X-Men back in superhero costumes after being stuck in Black leather" vibes lol

And Idk, that might be a little wordy... maybe just "New X-Men"... though that's where cat-Beast and Emma started out

 

[BobJM]

I wouldn't put too much stock into an X-Men movie having to mirror the original storyline/comic run if it uses the same title. Case in point, Avengers: Age of Ultron.

I tend to prefer a simpler approach; nothing wrong with Marvel Studios' X-Men. If a subtitle is needed and Marvel is worried people may confuse this late 2020s film with the 2000 original, then I say go with Marvel Studios' X-Men: Second Genesis.

Second Genesis was a reboot for the team in the comics, and can serve as a reboot for the team on film too. IMHO, this is what the title should have been for X-Men: Apocalypse, but that's a different thread/discussion

That would be a bad title.

 

[Sithborg]

I find it fitting that 2 former X actors have come out as trans. Just a nightmare for Feige to worry about going forward with casting.

Elliott Page and who's the other?

Oppenheimer's Emma Dumont Comes Out as Transmasculine, Non-Binary - E! Online

Emma Dumont, who appeared in 2023’s Oppenheimer, confirmed through a rep that they identify as a transmasculine non-binary person and will use a new name with friends and family.

He was probably not planning to bring either of them back anyway.

 

[Lip]

Just imagine, with all of their effort to erase, avoid and down play queer representation in the MCU, if one of the X-Men lead actors come out as trans like Elliot and Nick.

Bob my friend I think you called it.

I COULD SO picture that Second Genesis title.

Didn't the male lead in the last Marvel show we got have a boyfriend?

 

[psylockolussus]

They aren't using Second Genesis as the title for Marvel Studios' first X-Men film.

 

[Silvermoth]

Yeah the religious right would go nuts with that.

all new all different x-men could be run but people would probably be confused and ask why characters they already know like cyclops and wolverine are there

 

[psylockolussus]

Just call it "X-Men" would be the most effective imo.

Save the odd sounding words for the sequels.
