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

You can love and appreciate Jackman as Wolverine while also welcoming somebody new in the role.

 

[Silvermoth]

I wonder who the villain of deadpool 3 will be? Perfect time for omega red I reckon

 

[Marvel united]

Nah to Jackman being MCU Wolverine.

I mean look, we're in the midst of this Multiverse Saga of the MCU where they're using nostalgia to drive people to the box office, which I'm not mad at. We knew Deadpool would be arriving in the MCU somehow and if he has to use some remnants of the Foxverse to usher him in, cool.

But let Jackman be a one and done. It's time for new blood.



Bro, I'm still high off Prey. Midthunder would kill it as MCU Laura.

As for the bolded, I don't even think that to be honest. If anything and just thinking about the 2015 Secret Wars, all those universes like the Fox mutants one, might hit an incursion and create Battleworld, until it's just the mainline MCU left.

Oh, absolutely. But I do think, like Endgame, the MCU-post Secret Wars is gonna look a little different.

I agree... Problem is, Feige may not. I think we've all underestimated how nostalgic Feige is for the Fox films

I am sure Kevin Feige loves the X-Men movies.

I would like that!

He decided to bring back a show created in 93 than coming up with a new original idea.

I know it's been done before, but how sick would it be to have a Sabretooth in the vein of Colossus and Juggernaut?

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

In other non-Deadpool/Wolverine news, I still have a dream:

Right now, Feige seems to be leaning on nostalgia for the X-Men mutant stuff, but might be because there is so much material to mine.

By the time they're done, the world will be ready for a fresh interpretation of these characters.

definitely cool to see. But I guess we just saw x-24 in Logan so maybe people want to see something else other than wolverine but more animalistic. Obviously there’s more to Victor than that but maybe Disney wouldn’t let them go too far.

Actually it might be fun to build to Graydon creed and all that

 

[psylockolussus]

I wonder if Kevin Fiege wants to continue Wolverine and the X-Men and X-Men Evolution.

I wonder if Kevin Fiege wants to continue Wolverine and the X-Men and X-Men Evolution.

I wonder when we're going to see something new.

Admittedly, I'd be curious to see more from Evolution with the older characters and the introduction of Betsy, Emma and Sinister. I guess Bishop was rumoured to appear next too? I don't remember.

Evolution was much better than TAS in some aspects, in my opinion.

 

[BoredGuy]

If anything, I think Feige is trying to remind people of the X-Men's golden years, and forget about the black leather, bizarre continuity, and underdeveloped characters of the FoX-Men

The cartoon and Claremont's run hit at the same time to really skyrocket the X-men in popularity, not a bad idea to focus people's attention on those versions for the MCU interpretation (while still getting to eat his cake too by bringing in Ryan, Patrick, and Hugh)

Fair. I just think there are different ways to do that.

They didn't event change the team to at least include someone new. Not even the costumes they changed, with the exception of Storm's hair. The Claremont run lasted almost 20 years, after all.

 

[Scarlet Spider]

I love all these FOX elements being brought back. Mostly because I know It's going to trigger a certain group of people.

People arrogantly believed that Feige was going to ignore the FOX era. Now everything's on the table.

 

[BoredGuy]

Oh I agree we need something new
Would love to see Bishop, Psylocke, Polaris, Forge... hell even (relatively) brand new characters like Armor and Nezno. Quentin Quire is a must at some point.

Hmm X-Men '97 is mostly for the hardcores. Like who really would subscribe to Disney+ just for a cartoon Marvel show. I'm a hardcore fan and I'm not even into it.

The foX actors that are still the ones representing the X-Men to the masses.

The same people who would subscribe to Disney+ just for a live action Marvel show?

 

[psylockolussus]

The point is its not a major selling point for Disney+. The masses are more into live action Marvel adaptations than they are for Marvel cartoons.

Is there a Marvel cartoon recently that was as popular as the recent Marvel movies?

 

[Bayne]

There haven't exactly been a plethora of recent marvel cartoons to choose from. And there's no real way to measure the popularity of a tv/streaming cartoon against a movie. But most people who subscribe to D+ because of Marvel aren't doing it for any one thing regardless, they're doing it for Marvel content in general. And the majority of them will probably watch X-men 97 when it comes out just like they do the rest of it.

If 97 has Gambit, then yes, I will watch it.

The hardcores will be the main ones watching (though hopefully some kids pick it up too)
My point was, the cartoon was when X-Men really hit the zeitgeist, so Feige's trying to remind people- even just the hardcore fans- of the good old days

And let's be real: to mainstream audiences, the X-Men [after a bunch of dull Fox movies] are just Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart and Ryan Reynolds. Think anybody's dying for Shawn Ashmore's return as Iceman, or that dooshy looking guy who played Havok? Doubtful.

 

[NotNickFury]

I know it's popular for people to crap on the Fox X-Men films the same way people crap on the pre-MCU Spider-Man films, but to say audiences only remember those three actors among all the X-Men films, whether exaggeration or otherwise, is flat out wrong.

Especially if your go-to pick is Shawn Ashmore.

 

[Scarlet Spider]

It's going to be hilarious if Deadpool 3, an R rated film, starring FOX stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman outgrosses the eventual MCU X-Men reboot. Fun times ahead!

You never know!

 

[NotNickFury]

I mean, Deadpool 2 is the highest-grossing of the X-Men films, so I wouldn't rule it out. Even though I expect Marvel to put the whole weight of the Mouse's marketing machine behind their X-Men reboot. Deadpool 3? Reynolds is perfectly capable of marketing that, like the first two Deadpool films, on his own.
