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

Remember when Jubilee was sitting in class next to Rogue and Bobby and they don't let her speak? 😭

Gawd I have a love/hate relationship with those films.

 

[psylockolussus]

Jubilee was the star of that video, only for her to do nothing in the actual movie.

 

[Silvermoth]

There’s a lot to learn in terms of what not to do.

What a shame though. Lana is perfect casting. Massive missed opportunity. Not the only one too

 

[psylockolussus]

Ben Hardy, Olivia Munn and Lana Condor all looked the part. I wish they just cast them in the present day period X-Men film and included them in the team. The ending of DOFP was so good and they could have finally adapt Blue and Gold squads.

Blue - Cyclops, the Wolverine, Rogue, Beast, Shadowcat + Psylocke, Jubilee
Gold - Storm, Jean, Iceman, Colossus, Bishop, the Professor + Angel

With the film acting as an introduction to Apocalypse, with the horsemen being saved for the sequel (Wolverine, Dark Beast, Archangel)

 

[Silvermoth]

Yeah the apocalypse stuff really should have been its own trilogy. But! Different times! And we can’t live in the past.

 

[Sithborg]

I love Apocalypse. He is one of my favorite villains.

He ain't trilogy material.

 

[psylockolussus]

Not a trilogy for me, but a duology.

X-Men Apocalypse
X-Men Apocalypse Rises

X-Men '97 season 2 will be interesting!

 

[Silvermoth]

Rule of three says trilogy is best though. So like this…

Movie 1 - sinister but he’s serving a sinister agenda (as servant of apocalypse)
Movie 2 - rise of apocalypse, lot of x-factor stuff here like Archangel
Movie 3 - age of apocalypse

Bit better than just collecting xmen like it’s Pokémon go before getting roasted in Egypt

 

[psylockolussus]

Even in the MCU, I don't think I'd want a trilogy. And I will definitely not use Sinister as a servant of Apocalypse. I'd use Ozymandias for that.

Mr. Sinister should be a lead movie and his own master. I won't link him to Apocalypse. X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse already did that.

I have no idea what to think or expect. Didn't see any of the Hunger Game movies.

 

[SumT]

Interesting how many outlets only mention the Hunger games prequel, when he also wrote movies like Macbeth (Fassbender) and the really great show The Little drummer girl (Florence Pugh), that I highly recommend.

My guess is: if Feige chose him over plenty of writers for such a coveted project, he must have had the best pitch, right?

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

I am not feeling that choice at all.

 

[Chris B]

Its cool to get some kind of news but the director announcement, whenever that happens, is what will really tells us the approach they're going with.

 

[JP]

Ill get a better sense once I hear him talk about the X-Men. I rather liked the new Hungers Games.

 

[SumT]

I was just going to watch that movie last saturday night, but at the end went for a different film. Now I have to! lol
I will check it out his other projects too, lets not forget he wrote the scripts, he didnt direct the movies. so two completely different things.

 

[Lip]

I don't know, there's something that feels a little rushed when compared to FF.

But let's wait and see.

 

[Lip]

Well, we'll definitely get an announcement at SDCC. Or sometime this year.

 

[SumT]

rushed?
Disney bought Fox in 2019... its been FIVE d*** years, lol. there is zero rush on this.
And Feige started having meetings last quarter of 2024, according to the first report. He has spent months and months searching. This wasnt a light choice, guys, lets be real. This is a very important project for Marvel Studios future, not a random tv show. This is the next big deal. So if Feige chose him, it must be for some solid reasons.

 

[Sithborg]

Its cool to get some kind of news but the director announcement, whenever that happens, is what will really tells us the approach they're going with.

I mean, the writer choice is definitely an indicator of what they are looking for in a director.

Boy, sure glad all those who told me those choices were rumors and to calm down were extremely correct in their calls.

 

[BMM]

Well, we'll definitely get an announcement at SDCC. Or sometime this year.

I think SDCC is too early for anything meaningful, but we’ll see.

 

[Lip]

Get ready for the casting rumours nightmare.

 

[BMM]

Haha. It’s going to be such a long, long road.

*literally any redhead*

Fans: is this the new jean grey?

Sigh
