@TheRealTomServo - I can’t wait for the X-men to get into the McU, because once they connect Wanda to Magneto you're definitely going to get some great stories. This was a good read, so thanks.

Strong finish, my favorite of your 3. Great plot, and you managed to make it a sequel to X-Men, Wolverine, and Infinity War. Of course, it’s hard to know exactly what the MCU will look like post-Infinity War.
Well done, as always (including the photoshopped pictures for each Act, those cant be quick to make)

@ELAYEM - Thanks! I realized that the most effective way to make this would be to have it heavily tie into other MCU products. Not because I prefer tie-ins, but because it was truly inevitable.

Thanks! The pictures each take like, twenty minutes a piece? I use some bargain bin 'shop program on some website. Simple to use, and works like a charm.

@ELAYEM - My honest ranking of the X-pitches, in terms of predicted quality as an actual film.

1. Avengers: House of X
2. The Wolverine
3. The Uncanny X-Men

A very good finale, not a bad way to fully integrate the franchises.

I'm intrigued by some of the casting decisions, and the character choices (like Feral on the Brotherhood).

And I have a small feeling Louis CK as Kelly might be a bit divisive.

@FlixMentallo21 - Did I write Feral? I meant Thornn. Whoops. Time to fix that.

That casting was totally the point, to be honest. Even still, CK is my favorite comedian, and since this is an imaginary pitch, why not imagine his casting wouldn't be controversial?

I really enjoyed your Wolverine pitch (bar some of the casting choices, but in saying that my only youngish Wolvie suggestion would be Emile Hirsch who could certainly resemble Wolvie from the comics, but I just have seen him in any roles that would require a similar amount of intensity).

This has got to be my favourite out of the 3 though. The way you’ve integrated these characters into the MCU with this storyline is seamless. Love the idea of Olsen’s Wanda being front and centre bridging the world’s of the Avengers and X-Men. Really hoping she’s at the forefront of the MCU post-Phase III.

Louis CK is a controversial choice for sure. I certainly don’t condone what he’s done, he is/was also my favourite comedian. Great comedian/actor, ill person in real life. Becomes a matter of seperating the talent of the person from the person themselves.

All in all, I [frick]ing love this pitch. This and Enigma are my neck-and-neck favourites of yours.

@DetectiveCinema - Thanks about the Wolverine feedback.

You think? I was worried that this one was too clunky with all of the tie-ins and whatnot. But yeah, Wanda being the bridge only makes sense. You can give a throwaway line about Strucker's experiments awakening her X-gene as opposed to giving her powers and then BAM, she's a mutant again.

Same. The man was my Hollywood hero for years, so seeing this confirmed after my initial reading of the hushed-up Gawker story truly sucks. I cast him because he is a funny dude, but there's something in his voice and demeanor I really think can inhabit an asshole. In a good way!

Really? It's in Enigma tier? Dope.

A great conclusion, and really enjoyed reading all of them. Fantastic work.

@SimplyAz - Thanks! I actually have one more X-Men related idea, but since it isn't necessarily part of the trilogy (in fact, it takes place beforehand), it'll be under its own category.

- I LOVE Louie CK, and I really hope he comes back to relevancy. Robert Kelly would be a neat role for him, seeing as he played a similar role in American Hustle.
- Kiernan Shripka's underrated as a comedic performer. I can see her as Shadowcat easily.
- Well, Gaspard Ulliel is French, it's fitting to have a French actor play Gambit.
- Bill Burr. Such a great comedian, and a wonderful guest on Opie & Anthony. I don't know what role it is you gave him though, but seeing as he's done drama in the past (Breaking Bad?), I'll give him the benefit of the doubt in whatever role.

Interesting choice for crew, and blueprint for the trilogy. Another great cast. Good job keeping Comicbookmovie from being a cesspool. We've lost too many great fancasters.

@MikeZ - I miss Louis. I knew about the accusations since it was just a minimally-circulated Gawker piece. But even still, the man is my #1 influence on my own original writing, so seeing the confirmed kinda broke me,

Kiernan Shipka is wonderful.

Trueeee.

He's basically an old ally of Gambit's from the Thieves Guild. There's a little more backstory to that in my Wolverine pitch.

Thanks plenty!
