If the deal goes through, I'll be shocked if everything post-Dark Phoenix doesn't get scrapped. X-Force isn't even in pre-pro yet. Neither are X-Factor Investigations or Gambit.



Verbinski's film is a Mutant Massacre film. For me that's the best X-Men crossover of all time. Naturally they're making Gambit the star. There's your movie. If you haven't read it, do yourself a favor. Its X-Men at its best.



Its an X-Factor Investigations detective story. The first onscreen Detective story starring Marvel characters. The X-Factor Investigations books are arguably one of the best written Marvel runs in the last 20 years. Madrox is superb in that run and Franco's a fan. A Marvel detective story would be much like Deadpool (comedy) and Logan (neo-western) - transcendent via its respective subgenre.



Boone's mutants aren't replacing the X-Men in any way though. They're a separate crew like X-Force, X-Factor Investigations and Excalibur. XMA was a weak film but it ended with the X-Men [finally] looking very much like the X-Men. What makes you think they won't "look and sound like X-Men" in a film set 10 years after XMA?

If Gambit really is mutant massacre(and yes, I have read it. Good story from what I recall of it and what I know of Gambit's history with Sinister/Sabretooth/Marauders/Archangel/Morlocks, etc, I'm all for it, but I haven't seen anything that says it is. Where have you heard that? Same with Multiple Man. I know people speculate that it could lead to X-factor investigations but I've seen nothing in Franco's comments that indicate it's anything other than a hard R solo feature. Disney isn't dumb, they know X-Force is a license to print money so long as they put Deadpool in as a member. Why would it get scrapped? I never suggested New Mutants was replacing X-Men merely that I want my X-Men(and by that I mean ALL X-teams) look SOMETHING like their comic counterparts and not be so radically different looking. Snikt, I get all your points. They are all validly argued. I just don't believe Disney would be foolish enough to throw all of these things away wholesale like that. I see them making alterations but none of them are "bad" enough in anyway to be totally thrown out and even the ones that are minor enough to be, I still think Disney will use those characters in some meaningful way.

I've said this for years, but the FF would fit Marvel Studios like a glove. I would love to see that. But X-Men would get such short shrift there. And you wouldn't see a risk like Deadpool get taken, for better or worse. Having said that, I would be very curious to see the direction Marvel Studios would take with the X-Men, which characters and storylines they would pull from, whether they would keep the dark undertones or not, etc. But if they tried to change them wholesale into a jokey, fun-loving comedic outfit like the Guardians, Thor, Iron Man, etc., then I would have some real problems. With possible exceptions like Deadpool, early Iceman, or maybe Beast, these aren't characters suited to having dance-offs with their arch-villains.

On another note, Xavier was ahead of his time. Could have been president. Good fodder for Marvel Studios to make their movies topical.

Brace yourself. Problems aplenty are coming your way and the way of anyone who wants these characters taken seriously onscreen.

Didn’t he also spend a few decades blocking Jean’s brains from accessing her full power? That’s some #metoo ****.

Well, the man knows better. If Marvel Studios gets Xavier and Reed at the same time. . .damn.

If the deal actually gets made in time, I wonder if they'll do like an end credits kind of thing where they reference like Galactus or F4 or something.

Probably the FF. Also if I’m not mistaken I think marvel has the license for namor
