The future of the X-Men on the big screen

[Divine Spark]

Gross. Give me a short, gruff Logan who isn't the main focus of everything in the MCU and I'll be good. Never liked X-23, and I sincerely doubt Disney-Marvel will want to focus on a little girl test-tube baby who stabs people when's she's not being sold on the streets by Zebra Daddy(what the hell was Quesada thinking?). She should have just stayed in that Evolution episode.

Black Widow is getting a movie and they established that she was a child assassin.

I wanna see Logan portrayed as a Mad Max type figure. The silent, cool guy that stays in the background but comes out when he's needed.

Exactly. Classic Wolvie. I don't even mind if he gets some solo action(big or little screen), because his Fox-Men films pretty much butchered Sabretooth, Weapon X/Team X, the Hand, Mariko, and Deathstrike, and never got around to Omega Red(who I think would look awesome in live action) or Alpha Flight. But on the team X-Men movies, he should just be more like MCU Hulk; not the main character, but gets some fun scenes here or there.

Black Widow is getting a movie and they established that she was a child assassin.

We'll see how that pans out(her solo, which I wouldn't mind seeing Logan in, honestly), but in the main continuity MCU so far, BW is an adult and her spy/assassin qualities have been largely suppressed(to the character's detriment, I would say) and her childhood barely shown.

My guess is if Logan shows up, they're gonna emphasize him as a former Shield/CIA agent. Easy way to bring him in as a former partner of Fury or Natasha

He has so many comic relationships with the current MCU characters(Nick, Natasha, Carol, Steve, Hulk), not to mention his decades of canon with the main X-Men, I just can't see them skipping over him for X-23.

God I can't wait until there is basically a restraining order for Kinburg and the X-universe.

I would be really pleased if we got Laura first, with her parentage being some big mystery/vital plot point, setting the stage for a more old-school, loner, greyhat Wolverine to come in a film or two down the line. The audience would, of course, know more than the characters about why Laura's "dad" was such a big deal, but sometimes it's fun to know more than the characters about just what's coming.

This would be fun. It's actually something I want to see with someone just referring to Logan as "Laura's dad."

She should have just stayed in that Evolution episode.

Now, when it comes to the actual issue, I have always felt that it is oddly exploitative and creepy, but the concept isn't a problem for me. Given Laura's past, her personality at the time, her apparent beauty and her mutation, it makes sense that she would be a tempting target for someone wanting her for that purpose. This wasn't the Laura we know today, but a scared young girl who had no one she could turn to at that point.

Granted, I'm not sure I want it adapted to screen. It could be done, but it would need a very, very good screenplay and director to pull off.

I 2nd this.

A restraining order from being anywhere near The Phoenix, Dark Phoenix, Jean Grey as Phoenix, The X-Men, The X-Universe....

for those of you like foxmen there seems there is a chance they will still appear in mcu:

Thanks for not being condescending or anything.

The report isn't very specific (being evaluated for what? to be made as continuations of the Fox series? Refitted as MCU stuff?). I think that we really don't know anything beyond the fact that the franchise will get more movies of some kind.
