The future of the X-Men on the big screen

[Glio]

I am thinking and if with the movies we have seen individual series that would have been impossible without them (Hawkeye, Black Widow, Star-Lord, fucking GROOT), I think that when the X-Men movies start to release out we will see solo series of the protagonists.

It may be nice to have more individual mutant series.

We are already swamped with an endless arrary of worthless solos.

But not as many as with other properties. And the more they do, the more likely one is good.

There have been more X-solos than Guardians solos in recent years. In just the last 5 years we've had Nightcrawler, Cyclops, Magneto, Jean Grey, Cable, Iceman, Old Man Logan, Wolverine/X-23, MMX, Domino and minis for Shatterstar and Multiple Man. Avengers doesn't count since they're by nature solo characters.

The only solo x-spinoffs that ever have any legs are the ones that are the most detatched from the X-Men proper. Gambit, Wolverine, Deadpool, and Cable all had lives and things going on outside of just being and X-Man, and that is why their series lasted. Character like Jean, Storm, and Iceman never really have. Even when Storm was so tied to Black Panther most of the supporting cast came from him and not her. I think the big thing that helps is getting a character built up soon after they are introduced instead of waiting until they have been around for 30 years and then trying to make them more a solo character. By that time they are thought of as too much a part of a tea, and it is hard to break out of the mold once it is cast.

Cyclops solo was very removed from the X-men and it wasnt a best seller

Her familial heritage goes all the way back to the dawn of humanity with a long long of white-hair women ancestors who preceded her, one who was even a Sorceress Supreme.
Her mother was queen of a Kenyan village. After being born, ororo grew up in America during a period when segregation still existed in many parts of that country, which is one of the reasons her family wanted to leave Anerica for Africa to escape the hatred in the USA. She later was buried alive alongside her dead parents after an air raid in Egypt. She was a street urchin in Egypt, which isnt a child friendly place, where she became one of the best thief in her group. She traveled from Egypt to Kenya, where she killed a man who attempted to rape her, and she met tchalla (one day who would grow to be king of wakanda). She was then worshipped across africa as the weather goddess, bringing rain to drought stricken lands (where it would be one day confirmed she was a real goddess). If done properly Ororo has a very interesting storyline that could be made into a movie. And in the era of me too and women showing they can be as strong as men, especially for little black girls, it could be groundbreaking.

I think any discussion about solo films have to take in consideration the already other MCU films and FF and IMO Silver Surfer since Feige wanted him years ago even willing to lose DD for him and Galactus. With those considerations and the limited slots for films I think only Wolverine sadly I wish they'd rest him and use X-23 and Storm especially if she gets a push in Black Panther 2 would get solo films. Now who could get a solo Disney+ miniseries is up for grabs IMO.

I doubt Deadpool will be in the MCU proper and will continue as his own thing even making fun of the situation so I didn't count him.

[ChildOfTheAtom]

X-MEN are more likely to get solo Disney + series then a solo movie imo except Wolverine.

[Glio]

Yes, I can imagine Disney + series like "The adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix" or "Storm"

I would love a Disney + movie of the wedding of Cyclops & Jean Grey. There wouldn't need to be any CGI and it'd be good character development. Similar to a anime ova.

[The Kid]

The X-Men not being able to be on the screen at the same time as many of the OG Avengers will always be one of my regrets

Beast/Iron Man/Banner
Storm/Thor
Wolverine/Captain America
Wolverine/Hulk
Emma/Iron Man
Xavier/Iron Man

So many potential great duos and groups that we won't see

Again ALL of that is stuff they added in decades after she was created. For so long she really didn't have much of a past. By that time she was so interwound with the X-Men most people just don't see her as a solo character.

With Wolverine they were smart and realized he could carry a book and started giving him minis and then an ongoing. With everyone else they have just waited too long and the long list of failed series kinda proves it.

[CRaymond]

eh i changed my mind

[Force de Phenix]

X-MEN are more likely to get solo Disney + series then a solo movie imo except Wolverine.

Dazzler is gonna team up with Tigra in that new cartoon. They might start pairing mutants with non-X-Men team to make them more inclusive. Solos aren't 100% solos. Jessica Jones had Luke Cage and "Hellcat." And plus, te MCU is trying to create a world, so the any solos will be a part of the MCU.
