Good point. We've seen the wheelchair up to now so this would make for a nice visual change in a more hi-tech mansion.I really hope we get hover chair. Idk why—it was always just a cool visual growing up.
In terms of roster, I’d like for the road to lead us to the famous Claremont/Lee team. X-Men #1, if you’ll recall also featured Forge, Banshee, Moira MacTaggart, Nick Fury, Genosha, and the Alcolytes. And the first story arc (which was Claremont’s final for a long while) included Asteroid M, and hints towards Omega Red, and much more—the MCU could mine a who lot of content for movies & Disney+ series in those handful of issues alone.
I definitely want to see this. I was disappointed that we didn't get Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver for longer in the MCU too. These separate relationships make everything more complex (in a good way) in terms of the overall group for me.
Right on; I think O5 could be fine, especially in the MCU’s hands. An adaptation of Children of the Atom, maybe?—maybe throw in Havok and Polaris too.
My classical is essentially just 90s X-Men:
It would be interesting seeing a similar transition from fresh-faced young X-Men to veterans over the course of a similar amount of exposure as the Potter kids.
The likes of Kitty and Jubilee I think you can include a students even if there isn’t a main team spot available for them. With any amount of screentime they can still add something.
I love that idea. It just further emphasizes the idea that Scott lives through the X-Men.. Or so he thinks. He doesn't realize how special he is.

I supposed a movie about Proteus would be much darker. But even if the first film is brighter and more fantastical, I still think they have to hit that beat of "fighting for a world that hates and fear you" so that core mantra is established. Establishing this theme in a fresh would be interesting
Funnily enough, I could actually see Rogue being the "Black Widow" of the X-Men. Considering both Natasha and Rogue find a family with their respective teams after a lifetime of being on the "wrong side".
I think Wolverine will be doing a lot outside the X-Men within the MCU this time so hopefully he will be treated like a mega-gueststar rather than the most important member. I don’t think he needs to be part of the core. Just a superstar who is associated with the team and regularly returns, but also spends a lot of time doing his own thing.
I've had many similar ideas myself. Summers has always been an introvert at heart so they could really play that up and have him be socially awkward. Jean being an extrovert woule be a nice change of pace, and separate her further from prior versions. They could take inspiration from Ultimate X-Men and X-Men: Red for characterizationI don't know about anyone else but my choices would be Scott, Jean, and Storm.
Yup.
Me too, and I also think when the Professor offers them that have Alex all for it, and have Scott be unsure, thinks it's a con but he goes anyway for Alex.
Then at the mansion he still unsure, but through out the movie he grows into it, and starts to become the character fans knows and love.
I know for Scott/Jean first meeting I was thinking of having Jean be extrovert, and Scott be introvert but not because he likes it that way but because he fears he'll hurt anyone with his powers he sadly can't control so instead being a jerk he acts like he's uninterested in her because he doesn't want to hurt her.
Of course throughout the movie the walls he has build eventually start to come down.
Also another thing maybe have him with the ruby quartz glasses before he meets the Professor that way it would be different from Fox's, tease his secret ties to Sinister, and later on the Professor gives him his ruby quartz visor.
I don't know these are just some ideas I had for MCU Cyclops.
Yes, ironically what Fox did to him is turning out to be a blessing in disguise, and it isn't like Feige doesn't know what they did to Cyclops or at least for X1/X2. Honestly, I know this sounds crazy but I believe Feige doing X-Men is gonna be him saying to Fox now here's the X-Men, the real X-Men.
Yup, and sorry for the long post I got carried away there.
I think Marvel Girl would be fine, especially if Jean is just starting out. It's her classic codename and she's recently gone back to it in the comics as well. It makes sense to go back to her original icongraphy for differentiation
Yes! This has been discussed a lot and I think both of the above are ideal ways to kick things off. Establish that this Wolverine is a general MCU character rather than just an X-Man and let him
Hmm, I hope not. I’ve always found that name to be a bit too cheesy for my tastes. Plus having a Cap Marvel and maybe Ms Marvel makes it even worse to have more characters with Marvel in their name IMO.
I don’t mind her just being referred to as Jean Grey or Dr Jean Grey, and later Phoenix.

Ha. I never liked the name Marvel Girl even in the comics. I also liked the fact that there was one field X-Men character referred to by their name rather than codename. It also has more impact when she later starts using a codename, likely at that time with more confidence in her powers. I was hoping for something like this in the MCU from Wanda/Scarlet Witch at some point too.
