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

I guess confusion was the wrong word
I don't think people will be confused per se, just exhausted, and say "I'm not paying ridiculous movie ticket prices to see two different Batman movies" so they'll pick the one they think matters

And Spider-man is different when it's a live action movie with Peter versus an animated movie starring Miles. If they made Spider-man 4 with Tobey, Amazing Spider-Man 3 with Garfield, and Brand New day starring Holland all at the same time, they would probably cannibalize each other too.

Animated or not, people are still paying ridiculous ticket prices to see two Spider-Man films that feature two different Peter Parkers. Hell, Peter was the co-lead in the first movie.

I don’t see why that makes a difference when it comes to money.

Sony isn't releasing Spider-Man Brand New Day in 2026, and then Spider-Man 4 in 2027.

Its also quite clear, Brand New Day is live action and Spider-Verse is animated. So there's clearly a distinction between two franchises. Unlike The Batman Part II and whatever live action Batman movie is coming from Dcu. Like I said, good luck with that.

There's really no point comparing a franchise with 30+ films, over DCU which only has 1 released film, and that Batman Reeves series that is taking forever to get a sequel out and say Mcu needs to take a page from Dc's book.... there's just no comparison at the moment.

I wish they'd release some casting news. RDJ was announced as Doom 2 years before Doomsday so maybe next year's comic con or D23 will have them reveal who is playing which X-Men.

They haven't even announced any other films for 2027 aside from Secret Wars, and we are only getting 2 MCU films next year (1 is co-produced by Sony).

If Sadie Sink really is playing Mayday or Annie Parker then Sony might be planting the seeds for that. That movie would make a billion dollars easy, let’s be real.

I think audiences would be smart enough to make the distinction between the Batmen. Especially if they are stylishly and thematically different.

Thats not a good reason why FoX-Men should stay. There were also several times that it looked they were retired with their X-Men roles:
-Key X-Men characters were killed off/depowered in X3
-Hugh declaring Logan the movie as his final Wolverine role
-The Ot cast minus Hugh/Patrick being out of picture post DOFP until the end of Fox-Men in 2019.
-Disney getting the rights

FoX-Men didn't headline their last X-Men movie just 3 years ago, unlike The Batman. So you wanting them to stay around and co-exist with the rebooted X-Men cast and using The Batman/DCU as an example is not a good excuse. The Mcu is already jam-packed. There's really no need for the long awaited X-Men movie reboot, to be still dealing with FoX-Men, who are already around for more than 2 decades.

Hence why a clean slate is important. We got that with Spider-Man in 2017, then Fantastic 4 this year. So should the X-Men in their next movie.

Deadpool & Wolverine made over a billion dollars at the Box Office last year. That alone is a good enough reason.

What? Right after the Disney bought 20th century studios from Fox, Bob Iger said they would be continuing the Deadpool series and Sebastian Stan teased that Hugh Jackman could return as Wolverine if he wanted to. Then when the merger was completed in March 2019, it was reported that Kevin Feige was having meetings with several members of the OG X-Men.

So I don’t really understand how anybody would get that impression from the Disney deal, unless they weren’t paying attention to legit reports.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and Fantastic Four (2015) didn’t make over a billion dollars at the Box Office. So that comparison doesn’t work.

Btw, The Amazing Spider-Man series was almost canon to the MCU.

I clearly said FoX-Men, not just two Hugh/Ryan. We already know Hugh/Ryan are coming back post Secret Wars.

I am disagreeing with other FoX-Men cast members - James Marsden, Famke, Halle, Anna, Shawn, Kelsey, the X-23 actress, Ian, Patrick, Alan, Rebecca, Channing - to remain after Secret Wars.

And please don't bring up that Sebastian Stan again, as you were proven wrong with that one and you just can't seem to let it go even to this day.

Plenty of us thought Fox-Men were done after the Fox buyout. No one was expecting Hugh/The rest of the Ot cast to appear in Avengers back in 2020.

Ryan Reynolds doesn’t want Deadpool to leave his home universe. That was the whole plot of Deadpool & Wolverine.

And please don't bring up that Sebastian Stan again, as you were proven wrong with that one and you just can't seem to let it go even to this day.

What exactly was I proven wrong about? I proved my point Hugh Jackman initially turned down returning as Wolverine. Ryan Reynolds begged him for years.

Those who were paying attention did. Back in 2020, Patrick Stewart himself admitted that he had talks with Kevin Feige about returning as Professor X.

Hugh Jackman didn't turn down anything from Marvel Studios, especially at that time of Sebastian Stan's interview which you just implied he was contacted by Marvel for a role. Marvel Studios weren't legally allowed to be hiring Hugh Jackman to be playing Wolverine at that time.

And now suddenly you are making it about Ryan Reynolds offering Hugh a role that Hugh supposedly declined, so Hugh would have turned down something.

We already had this conversation before and you are twisting things again. Let me put you on ignore because clearly, you are just gonna go on and on.

Nobody back in 2019/2020 would have guessed James Marsden, Rebecca Romijn, Channing Tatum, the whole gang would have been hired by Marvel Studios in their respective X-Men role - hence why I said people thought they are already retired with their X-Men roles. Disney killed the X-Men projects that Simon Kinberg were supervising which included Gambit solo movie.

People only started thinking the possibility of the Ot cast returning when Patrick Stewart appeared in Multiverse of Madness which was not in 2020.

No, I implied that Marvel was thinking about bringing the OG X-Men back that far back and Stan told Hugh about it.

I didn’t sudden bring up Ryan Reynolds. I mentioned him when I talked about Stan pages ago.

@Venom 1988 said that you rather do that then concede. lol

The OG cast aren’t in those movies.

So you’re also going to ignore what Patrick Stewart said in 2020? This further proves you have problem with conceding. Classic cognitive dissonance.

Come on guys. Let's not argue about things over and over again.

Does anyone think Naomi Ackie might make a good Storm?

Does anyone think Naomi Ackie might make a good Storm?

She’s talented and she has the look, but I personally hope they go with an American actress.
