Kevin Feige Taking Over as Marvel Chief Creative Officer

[powerpax]

One of the reasons a lot of people hate the X-Men movies is because it isn't at all a faithful adaptation of the source material. Marvel's not going to alienate those people by doing a version of their own that's even more out there.

They hate those movies because they're cheaply made and had shit continuity burning through characters from the start and obsessing over Wolverine. The MCU proves fans will accept reasonable liberties taken (Spidey's status quo, etc.) if the larger product is durable, true to the spirit and overall word of the text, and fun. And as of now, Dawn of X is in continuity, not something made up for the films. So yes, I can see them lifting the Krakoa setting and status quo, etc. Westchester, etc. could easily become flashback material, as it is in print right now. Elements of the story and setting will be used, not the actual HoX miniseries. Same as all things MCU.

And yes: Hickman's return interview re: opportunities was a clear note about the MCU.
