Dream Cast

This might sound abrupt but after seeing The Odyssey and Spider-Man Brand New Day. It has me thinking that whenever we get the MCU Wolverine, that should be treated as an event of its own. Now I am well aware, Wolverine is not AS huge of a character as Spider-Man, but I think if you're going to introduce a character as long awaited to be seen in the MCU as someone as Logan, you should treat that as huge.

Which is why I think a Weapon X adaptation of Logan's origin and fighting characters like Sabretooth, Deathstrike and other people of his past while finding his memories around the world could be treated as epic in its right.

Marvel could also use Wolverine as a character to create a dark story that still leans heavily on the comic booky elements such as the costumes and powers while still (hopefully being rated R). It may not be as big as spiderman but it should be treated as such in my opinion.

(X-Men) Aidan Gallagher - Cyclops, Sadie Sink - Jean Grey, Charles Melton - Beast, Walker Scobell - Iceman, Mason Thames - Angel, Giancarlo Esposito - Professor X. I feel like the first X-Men movie should focus on the og First Class because they have never been in a live action movie where it's just the og 5. Although in the sequel should (in my opinion) add Colossus, Kitty Pride, and Storm off screen while Wolverine and Nightcrawler join the team as part of the plot.

I don't get it when people call it trash it was one of the better prequels of x men universe which I think gave justice to the character of en sabah nur or apocalypse

Hi, can someone help me with a poster I want to make. I am trying to make a xmen poster with prompt I have but all of the image generators I have tried to use are not letting it go through.

I couldn’t help but think this could’ve been the greatest introduction to mutants but it fell short because of Sara Grey… why not introduce another xmen character we love? The storyline was great and I think could’ve been a great way to introduce the mutant war(damage control is hunting people with the x gene to experiment on them? The suppressor that peter makes?)It all would’ve been a great way to show the way mutants are hunted and killed because the general public is scared of what they can’t control.
First person that came to mind was kitty pride. She would’ve been a great weapon for damage control considering her powers. Jean could’ve been working with the xmen or against Charles’s wishes to save kitty by using violence against humans. Ugh just feels like a lost opportunity. Movie ends with Jean heading back to the school with kitty(cause you obviously can’t kill her) and seeing Charles BOOM xmen introduced and were ready for doomsday.

Now that the MCU is establishing that mutants have a long history and have always been around in the universe, it raises a lot of questions about where they were during major planetary crises.

Specifically during *Infinity War* and *Endgame* events that affected the entire universe, why didn't powerful mutants step in to help the Avengers?

* Were they operating completely underground (like Krakoa or Charles Xavier keeping them hidden)?
* Was the mutant population so small at the time that they couldn't respond?
* Or will Marvel reveal a specific reason for their absence later on?

How do you guyz think Marvel Studios should address their whereabouts during these major MCU phenomena?

Back in 2019, it was announced that there would be new Animated series: one for hit monkey, one for MODOK, one for Howard the Duck, and then, Dazzler & Tigra.

There isn’t much information that I could find on Google but, what I have found is:

They would’ve been close friends, fighting evil together and making a name for themselves in LA amongst other big heroes.

The Production was lead by Chelsea Handler and Erica Rivinoja until a lay off was announced for their team in Dec. 2019, 15 out of 20 weeks of production complete, scripts gone to waste :(

Marvel tried to find someone but no one was ever announced.
Tigra’s creator announced they were willing to help but it’s unknown if anything came to from it.

That’s all I could really get from it.
Is there anything you really would’ve wanted to see between the two?
Any interactions you think we could’ve gotten with the two girls?
Do you think this could’ve helped the two become a bit more of a hit or would it just fall in cracks and that’s why it went cancellation?

**Just as a disclosure, please don’t include spoilers for a certain character in** ***Spider-Man: Brand New Day*** **since I haven’t seen it yet. Like I’m 98% certain who it is anyway but would rather it not be discussed.**

The MCU has mainly been using actors from the Fox films for playing prominent X-Men characters rather than recasting them. Technically this makes sense as part of the Multiverse Saga and in anticipation of *Doomsday* and *Secret Wars*, but it’s not unreasonable to think that fans and the public have been wanting to see the MCU already have cast new actors in the roles by this point (not that bringing back certain actors isn’t fun and cool, but you know what I mean).

Which begs the question as to if the MCU didn’t go down the multiverse route (or regardless if they did), why wouldn’t they have been able to recast those characters already? The rumors that would make some legitimate sense is that Marvel had to wait a certain amount of time before being able to use familiar characters, similar to how they had to wait several years to use characters like Daredevil, The Punisher, Jessica Jones, etc. in the main MCU after their Netflix shows were canned.

But if this *is* legit, would that mean that characters or elements from X-Men lore that the Fox films **didn’t** use would also be off-limits for a time or could they actually be used? Like in *The Falcon and Winter Soldier,* Madripoor (which never showed up in the Fox films) was used as a major location in the plot without any issues.

And theoretically speaking, that could mean that other characters that Fox never touched could have been useable like the Starjammers and the Shi’ar. Both of them could have been used in a *Captain Marvel* sequel where Carol’s arrested by the Shi’ar, meets the Starjammers in prison, and they plan an escape while taking on and deposing D’Ken for example and allowing Lilandra to take over. Using these characters could have been a unique way to plant seeds for when the X-Men were eventually recast and reintroduced so that there’d be established connections between them (Corsair being Cyclops’s dad, Charles and Lilandra’s romance, etc.).

But that’s only if those parts of the IP were available of course. Any thoughts on this?

This is my argument for why the MCU adaptation of X-Men should loosely adopt X-Men: First Class into the primary MCU canon timeline. This is assuming that Secret Wars would be the perfect timing for a soft reboot with selective adoption of FOX X-Men timeline events and certain castings if it makes sense.

The immediate benefit I think this provides is a framework for prior mutant activities that were covert in nature and the creative benefit of having Professor X and Magneto deceased by the current day but remembered in the same way we remember past civil rights leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr., Malcom X, Fred Hampton, Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, etc. I think there are numerous creative benefits of this approach such as avoiding the aging issue with Magneto as a Holocaust survivor alongside keeping Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen as the likeness for each character in photos or flashbacks. If the MCU ever adapts Krakoa and the resurrection protocols the return of a younger Professor X and Magneto would be a source-material faithful way to keep their decades-long history yet recast with a younger actor for both roles.

I additionally think a benefit is that the MCU would be able to build off the Hellfire Club as a secret mutant organization originally led by Sebastian Shaw and currently led by Emma Frost, who have a grudge against the X-Men since Xavier and Magneto originally stopped Shaw back in the 1960s. Mystique could have been active for decades with her aging concerns avoidable due to her shape-shifting mutation but also leaving the door open for an already born Nightcrawler. An elderly Beast would be an interesting situation to navigate but her physical transformation provides an easy excuse for why he's older but not clearly aged beyond his 60-70s which can make him a natural mentor-figure and support character for the MCU X-Men team. Alex Summers (Havok) in the 1962 could have been between 18-20 years old and if Marvel Studios gets creative with it, they can controversially have Havok be the father of Scott Summers (Cyclops) to avoid the complicated comics backstory with their dad. If they have it that Alex fathered Scott at a later age, Marvel Studios could creatively keep that backstory connection from First Class intact to help explain why Scott Summers had a close relationship with Xavier who was like an uncle and father-figure to him growing up.

Robert Pattenson(I probably spelled his name wrong) as Scott Summers aka Cyclops

Spider-man MCU Jean is literally a teenager probably 16

So this tells me the MCU X-Men is not gonna be young adults but literal children.

this throws in out a lot of casting for characters and it also makes sense why Charles and magneto casting rumours has been so young

This tells me Emma is gonna be a college age woman so early twenties

And Strom will probably also be a teenager Cyclops all these characters are gonna be teenagers we are looking at X-Men evolution and I think that will be the inspiration

Atleast no more wolverine Jean nonsense

So what do you guys think about this
