Does anybody have an MCU team in mind?
Any rendition of the comics you'd like to see?
Not an exact rendition, but if they don't start with the X-men as teens, then I'd have the AXM team + Storm and Illyana. I'd leave Rogue and Nightcrawler for a Cap. Marvel film as antagonists, with Mystique and Destiny.
If they start with the X-men as teens, I'd leave Wolverine out, add maybe Iceman; either that, or the 05 + Storm, Kitty and Colossus.
Can’t go wrong with the Claremont/Byrne team in my view. Hell, you could actually have the first film be their mission to rescue the first gen X-men from Krakoa and introduce other elements of their world in the set up to that mission, as Xavier is globe trotting with Scott and recruiting them.
I was thinking of the Astonishing team with Storm and Illyana as well! Actually, my team would've been Cyclops, Emma, Namor, Storm, and Wolverine. Simply because Namor and Storm could come out of Black Panther despite my disdain for BP x Storm. If we needed a porter than Illyana since Colossus is still in Deadpool films(?)
It was a great international team, so I think that'd check a lot of the boxes like nostalgia, recognizable faces, a diverse group, etc.
Just hearing Feige say "mutant" is that final step to know our dark days are over. On to bigger and much better things folks!
Marvel doesn't have Namor's rights, I think. Anyway, after the success of Aquaman, he won't appear anytime soon.
Don’t expect to see Wolverine any time soon. A Wolverine without Hugh Jackman wouldn’t work well, it to soon.
