He’s a major part of the X-Men but the X-Men have many major characters and they don’t all need to appear in the first film. Especially if they’ve been so heavily featured to date at the expense of the rest. Keeping him away from the first film will just add to the hype for when he does turn up.
3 whole films without him might be a bit much, especially as it might be a while before we even get the first film. Although it could work as long as he’s mentioned as being a mutant and appears elsewhere in the MCU before that.
Yea, I don't see it happening. But I'm just saying if it does -- I'd be completely okay with that. There are many other X-Men who have gotten the short end of the stick and deserve to shine in the MCU. Gambit for instance was perfectly cast but poorly utilized in Origins. And he hasn't show up since.
I hope we get plenty of time in total with all the planned films and series to give many of the big characters their own time and space to develop so that the GA can see how great a team this is. I want there to be favourite character GA polls in 10 years or so that aren’t totally dominated by Wolverine. I loved joining the Hype all those years ago and finding a lot of fans for every prominent X-character. I’d love for it to be a close thing between 13 or 14 X-Men in future as I’ve seen in some comic-reader polls.
That's my hope as well. The general audience deserves to know that the X-Men are more than just Wolverine and that Wolverine is not what makes the X-Men awesome. I would love to see a poll 6-7 years from now with people split over who their favorite X-Men is.
I just want one uber-successful X-Men film without Wolverine to prove once and for all that the X-Men are huge without him. He is not what makes the X-Men awesome, he makes the X-Men more awesome. He is an amazing character and once we establish how good everyone else is, then sure, throw this crazy guy in there to take things a notch higher and upset the balance for a while.
I think people will be happy to see him in a solo series or clashing/ teaming up with other MCU characters while the X-Men characters are built up and given their shot. If the X-Men films can get to their max potential I think we will eventually be looking at Avengers scale (first 2 films), and adding in Wolverine to something like that will really be something that grabs audience interest.
Yes he was, and I wouldn’t mind that being part of his story for the MCU.
It makes sense to do that this time as it would make him look quite different to his previous portrayal. I think it can be done well.
This is the best case scenario. I really hope they go this route. And this time have Cyclops go toe to toe with Logan and prove to Logan as well as the audience that he was chosen to lead the team for a reason. He needs to look strong in front of Logan as opposed to what happened with Marsden in X1-DOFP, Logan dominating him and making Scott look weak
Yeah they need to be shown as equals while they are butting heads, and even in the midst of that the audience need to believe that Scott is a worthy leader of the team. I also want Storm as co-leader and I would love to see her deal with Wolverine differently.
Storm feels like Scott is being a bit immature stooping to Logan's level. She tries to approach Logan in a less poignant way. Scott on the other hand feels like he has to show that he's strong because Logan is trying to make him look like a fool. This could be an inverse on what happened in X1.
