@BlackBeltJones - wait so no Jean grey/Scott summers romance but sinister as the lead villain?

@sickboy76 - yea that’s crazy. You need that romance.

@sickboy76 - focus on cyclops and his lineage, give me havok and vulcan. I want Corsair introduced similar to Ego, but not bad or good, a good ol space pirate, maybe have the guardians bring him back some how. And i want cable from deadpool back...with lots of comedy about how he sounds like a certain purple villain. Then bring in stryfe and Mr Sinister - i would love it.

It should loosely follow Giant Sized #1 and involve the mysterious Xavier gathering mutants to find/rescue his former students. I think it would be an interesting way to introduce the original team through the eyes of the 'new' members like Wolverine and Storm.

@FleischerSupes - I think i'd want to see the original lineup first, at least for one movie. And then in the second one, we can have the Giant Sized #1 story and have the new guys rescue the original team.

@TheFinestSmack - I agree w/you at about 98%. The only real issue is, who would Disney race swap? It really wouldn't matter who it was, because it'll cause issues no matter what... but I don't see Disney putting out an all-white X-Men cast anymore. Since the X-Men, themselves, are all about racial issues... being mutants, the script can be as preachy as they want it to be and still be totally accurate to the lore. If Disney's aim is diversity, and we're seeing more and more that it is, they should just forget the OG's and go with a comic-accurate Giant-Size team.

Cannot WAIT to see how many versions of this same list we get in the coming months.

Steps 1-6, don't screw up the casting
Steps 7-10, don't screw up the story.

@inkniron - basically yes.

You know, I seem to remember when the fox merger happened and speculation started running rampant about how that could happen, either Josh or one of the other contributors suggested they should ditch the discrimination aspect. And everyone here was all for that. My how the tables have turned.
bkmeijer2
bkmeijer2 - 9/27/2021, 10:17 AM
@Origame - I think I agree. The discrimation theme was very big when the X-Men were still introduced, but now 60 years later there are many other themes to consider that could make it feel much more contemporary
Origame
Origame - 9/27/2021, 10:25 AM
@bkmeijer - first of all, the theme of discrimination was not there in its inception. In fact Stan Lee has famously said the idea to make them born with powers was out of being unable to think of so many explanations for powers rather than any desire to represent discrimination. For a good while it was basically just another superhero team no different than fantastic four.

Second, this is post George Floyd riots. Not to mention me too and all the issues with refugees and immigration. If anything nowadays is an ideal time to dive into the discrimination angle.
bkmeijer2
bkmeijer2 - 9/27/2021, 10:43 AM
@Origame - I kinda took those things as seperate themes, but yeah I you're right. Maybe I should rephrase to how the same theme has taken on different faces, so that it should focus on it from those different angles than it did during the 60s/70s.
Origame
Origame - 9/27/2021, 10:54 AM
@bkmeijer - yes of course I think it should be handled differently. But discrimination should still be a theme of the story as that's a major part of the identity.
bkmeijer2
bkmeijer2 - 9/27/2021, 11:16 AM
@Origame - agreed to that. Really wonder how Marvel is gonna handle all the themes, but I trust them to do it right

Throughout the coming years, the MCU will have introduced the comic's holy trinity of couples, Peter Parker & MJ, Reed richards & Sue Storm, and Scott Summer & Jean Grey. To me it is super important to nail the chemistry to make us believe they're all soul mates especially Parker and MJ. Those two were Stan Lee's favorites after all, so come on Marvel Studios, honor the man.

X-Men 2: Nightcrawler, Wolverine, Banshee, Storm, Sunfire, Colossus, Thunderbird

X-Men 3: Shadowcat, Rogue, Psylocke, Dazzler, Gambit, Jubilee, Bishop
RitoRevolto
RitoRevolto - 9/27/2021, 10:16 AM
@Jonbonvon15 - Rogue, Mystique and Destiny should be villains at some point so we can get a live action scene of Rogue sapping Captain Marvel.
Jonbonvon15
Jonbonvon15 - 9/27/2021, 10:16 AM
@bkmeijer - ohhh that’s a nice line up. I feel if you are going to introduce bishop it needs to be something with cable and time travel
Jonbonvon15
Jonbonvon15 - 9/27/2021, 10:17 AM
@RitoRevolto - I would love that story arc of rogue and captain marvel. It would put her in a coma and we could focus on the other heroes who deserve a movie lol
bkmeijer2
bkmeijer2 - 9/27/2021, 10:20 AM
@Jonbonvon15 - I'm kinda hoping they keep Deadpool, Colussus, Cable, and the other characters from the two Deadpool movies and have those two tie to the new mutant movies
sickboy76
sickboy76 - 9/27/2021, 11:24 AM
@bkmeijer - but Josh said no summers/grey romance :)
bkmeijer2
bkmeijer2 - 9/27/2021, 1:57 PM
@sickboy76 - can't argue with that
RitoRevolto
RitoRevolto - 9/27/2021, 10:04 AM
Don't know how to feel about Krakoa being something that's already established when we meet these new mutants as opposed to building up to that. Because I guess the problem would be what's next? Do they stay on the island throughout the entire MCU or do they go back to the institute?
bkmeijer2
bkmeijer2 - 9/27/2021, 10:13 AM
I think adapting Xavier and Magneto's stories are gonna be interesting to adapt. I think making them second or third generation victims would work and would also direct attention towards trauma being passed down from one generation onto another.

As for where the mutants have been and how long the team has been around, I'm hoping that the school existed for a while and mutants have been around (just not in the limelight). The team could be follow the example of the Avengers post-Blip or be an answer to a mutant finally making mutants public knowledge.

For villains I hope they do Mastermind in the first one, Magneto (and the brotherhood) in the second and either Mister Sinister or Onslaught for the last one.

I want to see Mr. Sinister creating the four horsemen. He kidnaps homeless mutants and he experiments on them. Based on "survival of the fittest", Mr. Sinister will experiment with them. The surviving mutants will be the horsemen.

"This next Professor Xavier should be American, and quite possibly non-white".

Why though? The X-Men already have a diverse character pool to choose from. And if race doesn't matter when casting, then why set out to change the character's race before you even look at potential actors?
Spike101
Spike101 - 9/27/2021, 12:14 PM
@CorndogBurglar - seems like it’s one of those dumb throwaway comments designed to provoke. I agree with you, the x-men characters are a diverse bunch already so leave it at that.
