Introduce the X-Men to the MCU

[Gray Lensman]

I dunno what this has to do with MCU X-Men, but Wheel of Time was neat in season 1, but I kinda lost interest in season 2. I hate the new guy they replaced the other dude with, especially since it was over the injections. This is coming from a non-book reader. I do find that I can enjoy projects more when I don't know the source material. If you have a previous version to compare to, you will naturally be more critical. Like how I basically despised the Foxmen films because I was constantly comparing to the source material and finding their versions lacking.

It wasn't over injections (probably), that's just the unverified rumor. Which the guy is suing a news site over, and that's a very easy thing to prove one way or the other. Interestingly enough, the new guy is playing closer to the character in the books, at least the later ones. The author didn't find a good voice for that character until the 3rd book of the series.

Well, that's the story I heard. Who knows what really happened. But either way, the first guy was better looking. I have no clue how the character was supposed to be, but I liked him more.

Lmao if that’s the best they can do.

Geez I’ld write it for them if they’re that desperate for whoever!

RUMORS OF X: Ryan Coogler returns for a 3rd BLACK PANTHER movie and possibly to helm MCU X-MEN

Anything could be and these rumours are not necessarily at odds with each other, but Ryan Coogler usually writes his own movies.

Regardless of the accuracy, the X-Men rumour mill has officially started and it's crazy that Sneider mentioned we may get an announcement before Memorial Day ie by the end of this month!

I'm lukewarm on the 2 writers mentioned - I enjoyed The Wheel of Time season 1 but not enough to watch season 2.

Ryan Coogler as director would be extremely interesting: Black Panther has shown he can do great worldbuilding, write interesting characters and especially flesh out compelling villains - although I must say the action scenes weren't terribly exciting to me. Still, Coogler would certainly be a solid choice as X-Men director.

If I had my pick: Beau DeMayo as writer and the Russo bros as directors for the win.

I've never read the Wheel of Time books so as a show only fan, I've enjoyed it well enough. S2 definitely felt like an improvement over S1 and I think many book fans also agreed that it was a step in the right direction compared to the first season.

The female characters of the X-Men would be in safe hands at least.

I think Coogler is my second favorite MCU director after the Russos. He did great work in BP1, and I think he actually improved in terms of storytelling and action in BP2, which is one of my favorite MCU films. I do have some notes for both films, but generally speaking he is quite talented and I think he could do a great X-Men film. I would not get Beau, though. As great as '97 has been, I think the film should do its own thing, not be '97 2.0, so to speak. Whoever writes the MCU X-Men should certainly look at '97, and understand what works and what could be improved upon, but 10, 30 minute episodes of animation is a far cry from one, 2 hour+ movie.

Well I'm assuming DeMayo wouldn't approach a 2-hour movie the same way he approaches a show - but anyway I fear the point is moot, whatever happened between him and Disney will likely keep him afar from anything else from the House of Mouse.

Coogler's involvement has also already been called into question by Sneider as he claimed Marvel might be looking at him for the Avengers movies instead.

So we're left with the 2 rumoured writers for now... I wonder if we will really find anything out in the coming weeks.
