Marvel has officially revealed the cast of the upcoming X-Men movie — and the characters they announced could give us some major clues about the story!
In this livestream, we’re breaking down the D23 X-Men casting announcement and looking at the comic book stories that could potentially inspire the MCU’s first major X-Men movie.
The announced characters include:
🔥 Rogue
⚡ Storm
🎯 Cyclops
🔥 Jean Grey
🧠 Professor Charles Xavier
💎 Emma Frost
🧬 Mister Sinister
And that last name might be the biggest clue of all.
We’re going back through X-Men comics from the early 2000s through the modern era to look for potential storylines Marvel could adapt — or remix — for the MCU.
We’ll be discussing:
• New X-Men by Grant Morrison
• Astonishing X-Men by Joss Whedon & John Cassaday
• Messiah Complex
• Utopia
• X-Men: Schism
• Avengers vs. X-Men
• Rogue’s X-Men: Legacy stories
• Immortal X-Men and the Krakoa era
• Sins of Sinister
Could Marvel be taking inspiration from New X-Men?
Could Messiah Complex be the foundation for the story?
Or could Mister Sinister’s obsession with mutant genetics connect Jean, Cyclops, Rogue, Storm, Xavier and Emma Frost in a completely new story?
We’re breaking down the comics, the characters and the possibilities to figure out what Marvel could be planning for the MCU’s X-Men.
