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

What Young Avengers? We haven't gotten them yet, so there is no idea on their appeal. '

And seriously, using a one line from a end credit scene to justify anything is foolish.

You're assuming that Professor X and Magneto will be lead characters. Given what Kevin Feige has said, I doubt the movies are going to revolve around them again.

How does that defeat the purpose of a reboot? X-Men 97 and Daredevil: Born Again have been called reboots, but they feature the same cast/characters.


That's assuming that the X-Men will be from the 616 MCU. The Fantastic Four aren't from the 616 MCU. So why should the X-Men need to be?

Especially since the 616 MCU has declined so much in popularity over the years, and audiences aren't feeling most of the new Avengers all that much. There doesn't seem to be that much hype for this universe besides Spider-Man, Black Panther, and Daredevil.

Also, the MCU isn't that popular among Gen-Z.

Does Marvel Have a Gen-Z Problem? Just 19% of ‘The Marvels’ Audience Was 18-24

19% of "The Marvels" audience was 18-24 compared to 40% for "Captain Marvel." Marvel has a Gen-Z problem.

The Professor and Magneto aren't going to be side characters when they appear in the reboot. Like I mentioned, there are other actors out there. No need to bring back 2 actors from a 2011 film, that already headlined a bomb film in 2019. McAvoy and Fassbender aren't in the same level as Reynolds and Jackman. Like I mentioned those actors played 2nd fiddle to Stewart/McKellen when it comes to their respective X-Men role.

 

[AndrewGilkison]

I am right. Ms. Marvel was revealed to be a mutant and the general audience didn't care. The Ms. Marvel show had low viewership and The Marvels made less money at the Box Office than Dark Phoenix. The MCU's popularity has declined significantly; it's not even debatable. The hype just isn't there anymore.

All the more reason they are going to put the X-Men and the FF into the MCU.

Fans were hyped about the X-Men being in the MCU back when the classic Avenger roster was still around. Most of the classic Avenger roster is gone now and the rest are on their way out. Even Tom Holland has said that his Peter should past the torch to Miles Morales. Nate Moore suggested that the third Black Panther movie might be the end of the series. Not to mention T'Challa is dead, so we are never going to see his relationship with Storm on-screen. There isn't much to look forward to anymore.

Speak for yourself.

Actually, Kevin Feige said that they want to use Deadpool and Wolverine as much as possible (and they are not recasting Wolverine anytime soon). They're also bringing back the classic Avenger roster and the Russo Brothers. So it seems that Marvel Studios is doubling down on the multiverse/nostalgia after the successes of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, X-Men '97, and Deadpool & Wolverine.

You are contradicting yourself. You just said a bunch of people left, or are leaving, and there is no one for the X-Men to interact with, but now you are talking about them all coming back, so... which is it?

Says who?

Says the fact that the multiverse saga is ending with Doomsday and Secret Wars.

Are you suggesting that a young version of the X-Men is going to automatically bring young people in? The prequels proved otherwise.

The same prequels that got four movies made?

 

[psylockolussus]

I think MCU's Young X-Men would be more successful than foXverse well because thats not exactly, a high bar to surpass. But my God, we left FoXverse with the X-Men taking orders from the Professor and Mystique. Then wait several years, well a decade (11 years, if the reboot comes out in 2030)... only to witness Cyclops, Jean, Storm as rookies one more time... and how long are we going to see them graduate from that phase?

We've gotten several Young Avengers members.

Are you referring to the mutant reveal in Ms. Marvel? I don't recall that being an end credit scene.

The Professor and Magneto aren't going to be side characters when they appear in the reboot. Like I mentioned, there are other actors out there. No need to bring back 2 actors from a 2011 film, that already headlined a bomb film in 2019. McAvoy and Fassbender aren't in the same level as Reynolds and Jackman. Like I mentioned those actors played 2nd fiddle to Stewart/McKellen when it comes to their respective X-Men role.

Marvel put many major Spider-Man characters to the side for the sake of feeling different. So it's silly to expect that Marvel wants to have Professor X and Magneto be in the spotlight again. Especially since Spider-Man is a more popular franchise than X-Men.

All the more reason they are going to put the X-Men and the FF into the MCU.

That's assuming FF will be a hit.

Speak for yourself.

What interactions do you think the general audience are looking forward to then?

You are contradicting yourself. You just said a bunch of people left, or are leaving, and there is no one for the X-Men to interact with, but now you are talking about them all coming back, so... which is it?

Not really. I doubt they are the 616 versions of those characters.

Says the fact that the multiverse saga is ending with Doomsday and Secret Wars.

And you think they won't use the multiverse after that? In the comics, the multiverse still existed after Secret Wars. You seriously think they won't make a sequel to Deadpool & Wolverine? A movie that made over a billions at the Box Office?

The same prequels that got four movies made?

There were only two movies with young versions of the X-Men: X-Men: Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix.

I think MCU's Young X-Men would be more successful than foXverse well because thats not exactly, a high bar to surpass. But my God, we left FoXverse with the X-Men taking orders from the Professor and Mystique. Then wait several years, well a decade (11 years, if the reboot comes out in 2030)... only to witness Cyclops, Jean, Storm as rookies one more time... and how long are we going to see them graduate from that phase?

Exactly. That doesn't seem like a premise that audiences would get hyped about.

She's a firework. Marvel Studios better come and let her colours burst!

Late 20s, early 30 actors would be my ideal for the main X-Men. Actors around the same age as Margaret Qualley, Paul Mescal, Jeremy Allen White, Ella Purnel, etc... Actors who are very young without looking like teenagers.

 

[SumT]

Jacob Elordi.....

Ella Purnell probably doesn't want to be tied to these massive franchise commitments for the next 10 yearz

 

[psylockolussus]

I'm not familiar with any of those actors being suggested.

I just hope they cast actors that look part and don't just cast actors of the season to generate buzz. I want them to look really similar from the comics. Like even if I didn't follow the casting news/watch trailers, I would instantly recognize who they are playing right away, when they first appear in the big screen.

 

[Lily Adler]

Jacob Elordi.....

You mean Cyclops.

 

[SumT]

obviously!

 

[JP]

Jacob and Sadie would be fire together.

 

[Lily Adler]

obviously!

Hey as long as he's not Superman, Batman, or Martian Manhunter, I'm good.

 

[Hand Banana]

Kevin Feige said that Marvel is done with making contracts like that.

 

[psylockolussus]

I hope both Young Avengers and Young X-Men don't happen.

 

[SumT]

Jacob and Sadie would be fire together.

problem I see is that Jacob is sooo tall and if Im not wront, Sadie is pretty short, right?
that could look kinda weird lol. And not as appealing, lets be honest. Id love an impossing power couple this time around

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

Sadie Sink is cool, but when I think of MCU Jean Grey, I see her:

Ive been thinking about her for either Rogue or Jean for quite sometime.
not sure yet what role would be the best fit for her from the two.

My ideal actress for Rogue is Ana de Armas since day one, but Im afraid she's getting too high profile for MCU's Rogue in the reboot in a few years. (aside from the age aspect by that time)

 

[psylockolussus]

Ana Armas is 36 and who knows when Marvel Studios really begin casting for Marvel Studios' X-Men. They should have a director first.

I think best case scenario we would get the reboot 1 year after Secret Wars, which is 2028, hopefully May. But who knows how many delays there are going to be when it comes to MCU films. Development progress is another thing, if they have a script ready for a 2027 filming.

 

[SumT]

there is a Marvel date confirmed for late 2027. and a few weeks ago one scooper said its going to be X-Men.
feel (a bit) rushed to me, but..... time will tell.
They have a writer since last year, so its technically possible if they are pleased with the first drafts this year. If we get a director announcement in 2025, the movie may be much closer than we think.

 

[psylockolussus]

I would believe a 2027 date when Marvel Studios' X-Men gets released there.

I seriously doubt they would release the X-Men reboot, just months after Secret Wars. Its unrealistic, just like many of mcu schedules that eventually moved.
