Marvel Cinematic Universe

I think if Marvel incorporates the X-Men into their universe I get the distinct sense they'd try to go a different route than the Bryan Singer films. One possible solution would be to try something akin to what they did with the Avengers and do several solo films for the X-Men (Wolverine, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Storm, e.t.c) before assembling them onto a single team. Another route would be to make a X-Men movie without Wolverine but heavily tease his arrival (and probably have a post-credits scene featuring him).

Marvel has options.

Like him dying at the end of Logan?

Ehh unlike Logan I'm not sure X-Men characters are capable of holding up their own movies.

Personally I think they should start by introducing characters and then work towards addressing the question of what mutants and the X-Men are like in this setting organically.

Really I just want a Storm MCU movie.

Since it appears my questions are too long and complicated that no one wants to answer them, is there a better place for me to ask them?

Thor & Storm should hook up.

Bring on the biracial thunder babies!

Storm x Panther

Not saying that they shouldn't adapt a story just because it's bad (it has shown good results), but that particular plotline was, like most of Civil War era stuff, bad.

As in really bad.

I don't get why people say the X-Men wouldn't fit in the MCU. In almost every version of the franchise, it's established that, while mutants have been around since ancient times, it's only recently that they've begun appearing in large enough numbers to make keeping their existence a secret impossible (as far as I'm aware, it's still canon in Marvel Comics that atom bomb tests releasing radiation into the atmosphere kickstarted the mutant population boom). The MCU could simply have mutants reach that population tipping point now.

I think it might more be a case of people wishing they were put in earlier. Given we're several films in and the Infinity War films are major status quo changers, that'll mean they won't get to interact with several of the heroes potentially. Plus, regardless of the justification, there will be some people who won't buy the reasoning for the X-Men and all their characters not showing up until now.

Wasn't the X-gene the result of the Celestials screwing around with cavemen?

Only in Earth X.

Could've sworn that was backported to yhe mainline franchises...

But anyway, now that I brought up how Civil War, what are some storyline/characters you want to see redeemed in the Big Screen?

My picks are The Clone Saga and Ironheart, both of which had tons of potential brought down by shitty writing.

I've grown a lot more fond of the Storm-Panther pairing since Te-Nisi Coates had Storm come back for A Nation Under Our Feet. Her appearance is amazing.

~Mr Hellboy Your questions really aren't that long or complicated, it's just that this is a very general thread where people talk about everything MCU related. We have talked about Guardians 3 in the past, and right now we're talking about X-Men.

I still want a Silverclaw movie at some point. She's got a really cool power-set, she's a demi-god, she's got a potentially very interesting origin story, and she would add some much-needed diversity to the MCU, as a woman from South America.

At the very least X Men won't have to wait till 2018 for cosmic stuff in movies.

Sounds lika a interesting character, but I was asking more of characters that people think are bad and thr MCU has a chance of fixing.

Also, where is Silverclaw from, X-Men?

Huh, didn't know, I stopped following comics a while ago, I only tead trade paperbacks nowadays, preferebly the really old stuff.

Silverclaw was from the late 90s Avengers.

Speaking of X-Men: Legion and Gifted are already co-owned by Disney/Marvel. The Legion episode called “What Could Have Been” explored alternate realities of the multiverse. There were talks of an Exiles TV shows and Gifted features members of that team.

So do you think we will see a crossover with other Marvel shows?

The issue with bringing in Storm/Panther is that T’Challa’s already in a relationship with Nakia.

So your gonna have to end one good relationship to start it.

Hell, Silverclaw isn't just "from" South America, she's native to a tribe from South America! That's a very unique perspective!

No one likes Storm/Panther anyway.

If they do Silverclaw I want her still to have been sponsored by Jarvis somehow

I could see Vision watching TV sometime in-between Age of Ultron and Civil War and deciding to sponsor her out of the kindness of his heart and as an experiment in his humanity.
