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

I think as fans of FF found out, lets not overestimate the drawing power of the X-men.

The only thing I disagree with you on.

Sith, if they actually invest in the costumes (which at the very least we know they'll do), the story and get good actors in the roles, then there is definitely a ton of drawing power with the X-Men.

They are household names.

The X-Men reboot should definitely feature Wolverine, too. Why hold back? Let's go all out!

Being known ≠ a guaranteed big success. Look at Superman, that franchise has underperformed expectations at the box office for 40 years now (1983 - 2025).

The X-Men underperforming will be from the state of the genre/brand/studio moreso than how many household names there are individually. The X-Men have sold more books than anyone the last 40 years. The "X-Men" is the household name. Obviously there are breakout individual characters in popular culture, but those names will likely play a role.
