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

[Scarlet Spider]

I honestly thought this was the plan before they brought back RDJ.

So happy that the proper X-Men will play a substantial role in Doomsday.

 

[SumT]

My mind just exploded lol.

All these returns! crazy. Im so happy yet confused, where are Wolverine, Storm, Jean....? and Strange, Spiderman, Captain Marvel, Hulk.... wtf?
Marvel Studios definetly wanted to play with all of us after this huge reveal.

 

[psylockolussus]

No Storm, Rogue and Jean is buzz kill for me.

But OT Beast, Mystique, Professor X, Magneto, Nightcrawler and Cyclops are still huge, its been so long!!!!. I really hope Cyclops gets a substantial role here.

 

[psylockolussus]

In my imagination well at this moment, Rogue/Jean/Storm are being saved for Secret Wars, or they will appear in the mid or post credits scene of Doomsday!

But at least no Wolverine and Deadpool. I just hope the Professor and Magneto don't get the most lines lol! Bring it on! OT Beast and OT Nightcrawler finally together in a movie, thats a first! Gambit as a X-Man in a movie?! A first too!

 

[Scarlet Spider]

Sad about Jean & Storm but the rest are all huge.

Would love to see Cyclops finally done justice!

 

[SumT]

Too many characters missing. This may have a meaning in terms of the story or Feige wanted a double announcement, one now and the second later or in Comic Con. The key avengers are missing so.... thats a really weird move, but we all know they will appear so.... we gotta wait and see.

And a huge LOL to non Hugh Jackman chair I thought he would be the only X-Men name dropped today. We all know he will appear, so.... this is Feige clearly playing with the fanbase/net (smart move by the way)

 

[Scarlet Spider]

Love Hugh but he already got to shine last summer.

The other X-Men need their moment too.

 

[psylockolussus]

I cannot think there's another a cast announcement for Doomsday that is 5 hours long....

So I think this is the main cast, the ones we see in the posters and main billing. They are probably saving the cameos/blink and you miss it roles for when the movie comes out.

 

[BMM]

I think Berry and Janssen will be in Doomsday, too. And probably Hugh? I’m curious how many Wolverines there will be, since we know the X-Men were killed in Wolverine’s timeline in Deadpool and Wolverine.

 

[Scarlet Spider]

This is the main cast.

Cameos or surprises aside these are the characters that will drive the story.

This is just for Doomsday. Secret Wars will be insane.

This is basically the size of Endgame main cast. But it is still much larger.

I just hope they don't kill any X-Men in Doomsday.

Perhaps they are folowing up the scene of Monica Rambeau at the end of the Marvels where she meets Beast?

 

[SumT]

obviously. That scene was added in for a reason. Feige knew since day one the whole arc would lead to Secret Wars, so once he got the cast back and mapped out these two events main arc, that The Marvels scene was a lead up to this movie.

 

[psylockolussus]

Part of me thinks Mystique and Magneto are villains, siding with Doom.

While the X-Men consists of Cyclops, the Professor, Beast, Gambit and Nightcrawler, with the rest off screen or being saved for later. Its missing at least 1 X-Woman, and I still consider Mystique as a villain so she doesn't count as a X-Woman.

 

[JP]

They only announced 30-ish of the reported 50+.

 

[Silvermoth]

Imagine how cool the movie ending will be.

Doom looks like he’s going to win

Not even madame Webb hitting him with her car helped

All hope is lost…and then suddenly a shadow..

“Victor…Mystique and I love what you’ve done with your face”

 

[psylockolussus]

Kevin Feige must be fond of the Ot cast. I got that impression when Kelsey Grammer appeared in Marvels when he only played as Beast in X3 an infamous movie, and then a 3 second cameo in DOFP. Now he brought back Alan Cumming, who played Nightcrawler back in 2003...

If only he was in charge with foX-Men. The original cast was wasted in favor for a younger cast. Ian/Patrick are now in their 80s, Rebecca/Marsden now in their 50s, and their age isn't an issue to Feige/Marvel, as they are still iconic in those roles. It also didn't matter if Nicholas/Jennifer/Kodi played those characters more.

 

[JP]

I can’t lie, seeing the OT cast decked out in comic accurate looks is going to be INSANE.

 

[Mysteryman]

X-Men should not look so sad. The future looks, BRIGHT!

 

[Spider-Fan83]

I'm cool with them bringing back all this OG actors for roles in Doomsday and Secret Wars...

but, would still like to see a new cast at some point, I'd be interested in seeing who they cast in the roles. now

 

[BMM]

I can’t lie, seeing the OT cast decked out in comic accurate looks is going to be INSANE.

I’m really curious to see how they approach that, especially with Magneto. I wonder if we’ll have a scaleless Mystique and a tattoo free Nightcrawler.

 

[Hand Banana]

He single handedly ruined FoX-Men. I think after Apocalypse, it was still salvageable especially after Deadpool 1/Logan 2017. But Fox didn't look for anyone to direct the next movie after Apocalypse, and we got Kinberg's 2nd take on Dark Phoenix, and it was much worse than the 1st one!

So when Fox was selling their movie studio, I was like thank God! Imagine how many terrible X-Men movies we would have gotten if 20th century Fox wasn't sold.

Uh, Kinberg did not direct X3 and X3’s Phoenix was not more faithful comics - even Chris Claremont will tell you that. lol

Also, Deadpool & Wolverine made over a billions at the Box Office. That wouldn’t have happened if the Fox-Men were ruined. Let’s be real.

Feige is obviously fond of the cast, but the cast also brings in money. X3 was never truly infamous among the general audience. Only comic fans.

Well now.…No X-Men movie ever reached 250 million domestic. Marvels most popular team was never able to make as much as Iron Man or Guardians of the Galaxy. There is a specific reason for that, and it was FOXs refusal to tap into their true potential.

 

[SumT]

Bingo.
The X-Men franchise at Fox could have easily been the first 1billon dollar cbmovie. But Fox and producers had no idea what they really had on their hands.
never knew it honestly.
