I don't think that is a reason. Some disgruntled celebrities saying things doesn't mean much in the long run. I was referring to the fact that we know X-Men is part of Phase 5, and this pretty well maps everything out.
I would love to see a ''disgruntled celebrity'' like Martin Scorsese or Mnagold adapt some xmen MCU movies. I am thinking Gambit. In terms of content, this is a match made in heaven or at least someone with Martin's talent take on x-men. this is what MCU will need for phase 5 if they want xmen in it.

SpiderMan under Feige has been a HUGE financial success.
It's not his job to cater to the childhood memories of middle aged comic book fans.
He works for Disney, a huge multination and he is tasked with making them huge profits.
So he will do whatever with the X-Men and mutants that will play to mass, movie going audiences.
Feige has turned Guardians of the Galaxy, a Z list comic book, into a multibillion dollar franchise. Even in the 90s, it would have been kind to call the Avengers B list in terms of comic book sales, and look at them now.
Yes, Black Panther is an excellent way to introduce Storm. Rogue could be introduced in Captain Marvel 2. Deadpool will just get his own movie, perhaps that's a good way to introduce Wolverine and Psylocke/Kwannon (they could keep the same Domino and Colossus and introduce them that way).
its not about financial success

Fiege's job is to tell x-men stories to the best as we have read.
X-men is meant to be a gateway for people to look at comic films in an intellectual way beyond the fun, its not like xmen has not already shown they can make profits.
He works for Disney, a huge multination and he is tasked with making them huge profits.
I don't think he can do whatever it wants. X-men is pretty distinctive. anyone can't do what they meant, see the last film.
So he will do whatever with the X-Men and mutants that will play to mass, movie going audiences.
its important x-men is taken seriously as an authentic part of films and not another Disney product . Billion dollar movies mean nothing anymore.Feige has turned Guardians of the Galaxy, a Z list comic book, into a multibillion dollar franchise. Even in the 90s, it would have been kind to call the Avengers B list in terms of comic book sales, and look at them now.
Joker just made a billion dollars, there should be no stopping for Deadpool. Ryan Rneyolds must be desperate to respond to that. I don't think Deadpool 3 getting announced is the problem I think the direction the movie may go is the problem.
Joker is now the High bar for comic movie story telling. that is the movie x-men films are now going to be compared with and not because Logan paved the gateway but because people know what X-Men content is about.After watching Joker and rethinking of Legion and where superhero live action are. there is now an upgrade for adult driven theme comic stories and no other series does that better than xmen stories.

I think MCU would limit the wolverine brand because of the impact of Logan and Disney admiting they stripped marvel of the edginess in Bob Iger's book, be that as it may, it is still going to be fascinating to see X-Men struggle story wise in the MCU because a large part of the edge and unapologetic adult driven tone of xmen will be gone. a lot of that has nothing to do with Wolverine.Cyclops decent to the dark side and multiple marriage affairs would be more interesting than wolverine slashing people or brooding again.
I heard rumours in the past that the reason Gambit never showed up in the past films was because he was as hard of a character as wolverine. I personally always found gambit's backstory more interesting than wolverine though. I still think an R Rated or edgy pg 13 gambit film about the thieves and assassins will be great. maybe a comic book version of West Side story with the gambit and Bella Donna love story.
Chris Claremont recently compared xmen to game of thrones just to give people a grasp of the depth of xmen stories . I don't understand the need to bring of GOTG and Avengers. I was thinking more 2 hour game of thrones influence for xmen films instead, Claremont is right on this one on how to approach xmen.

No one is gonna be comparing X-Men to Joker. Joker didn't bring a "new high bar for comic movie storytelling", because most people understand that Joker is the exception not the rule. It may have opened the doors for more of it's kind, sure. But it's not gonna have an effect on a completely different style of movies like what the MCU usually does. And X-Men is gonna be mostly what the MCU usually does. If they're gonna try to follow Joker's footsteps, it's gonna be with some other property, not with X-Men.
Superheroing has gone beyond the MCU formula. X-men shares a large buck of that. You don't need the mcu formula for xmen.
Considering X-men has the same amount of fascinating stories like Batman's Joker. there is no need to limit the style. This is the task Feige must conquer.It may have opened the doors for more of it's kind, sure. But it's not gonna have an effect on a completely different style of movies like what the MCU usually does.
. And X-Men is gonna be mostly what the MCU usually does. If they're gonna try to follow Joker's footsteps, it's gonna be with some other property, not with X-Men.
MCU style is a result of people not knowing much about the characters and the crossover universe appeal, which is breaking down fast. these two factors don't apply to the xmen. xmen was already a well known property before Disney bought fox or fox bought x-men. the interest of xmen is not down to the MCU. Most importantly, other marvel characters have never made xmen interesting. xmen has usually excelled best when they focused on their own world.
Feige should just listen to Chris Claremont.
