A Plethora of X-Men Heroes
According to Feige, Marvel has an “embarrassment of riches” in terms of the X-Men characters available to them. This includes the characters from the Deadpool & Wolverine film and even those from Fox's X-Men versions. More excitingly, there are several X-Men heroes that have never featured in a big-screen adaptation. So, we might see a delightful mix of new and familiar faces, just as they did with Spider-Man's integration into the MCU.
Feige also emphasized how greatly influenced they were by the success of the X-Men '97 animated series. The series made fans reconnect with the X-men's world, particularly the soap opera elements, which Marvel plans to introduce into the MCU.
X-Men Already in the MCU
While complete integration of the X-Men into the MCU is in progress, we've already seen a few X-characters making their appearance in the franchise. Moviegoers will remember Professor X's cameo in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Beast's appearance in The Marvels.
Deadpool & Wolverine: A Walk Down Memory Lane
The upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine movie will be a trip down memory lane for many fans. It will feature plenty of X-Men characters from the 20th Century Fox era. Feige credited the original X-Men movie, along with Blade, for providing the foundation for the MCU as we see it today.
Who's Writing the X-Men Movie?
News broke earlier this year that Michael Lesslie, the brilliant mind behind The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, might write the X-Men screenplay. His potential involvement has sparked excitement amongst fans for what could be in store.
Wrapping Up
Fans around the globe are thrilled at the prospects of their favorite X-Men making appearances in the MCU. The Marvel Cinematic Universe's president, Kevin Feige, only fueled this excitement with his recent comments. With countless X-Men characters at Marvel's disposal, the question lingering is, which of our beloved X-Men heroes will we see on the big screen next? But, as with all things Marvel, we'll have to wait and see!
