I want John Proudstar to be among the mutants introduced and part of the team. I don't care about comics canon, etc.
Unless they have a TV based X-Men show that can deal with the O5 with 10 or 12 episodes, it's not going to be satisfying to do one movie with them, then all of a sudden jump into the Giant Sized X-Men #1 team with Wolverine, etc.
I am disinterested in the Dark Phoenix storyline. They don't have to try this again. Leave it alone. Do it in an animated mini series at best. stop trying to make that arc into a live action Godfather film or something.
I rather skip ahead to gen x or the academy x kids than start with the 05 or Giant Size X-men.
Diversity is also a concern and i rather promote lesser known POC characters than getting into the racebending quagmire.
A mix of Gen x, Academy X, and Giant Size with the 05 in the background would be ideal.
Just hope the small minded people are prepared for a few mutants to be race swapped.
I’m so curious to see how Disney casts the X-Men.
But do the Phoenix Saga instead. X-Men vs. the Shi'Ar empire—maybe bringing the Brood in—and turning Jean into the Phoenix where she is saving the universe. No need to adapt the Dark Phoenix Saga but there are so many elements of this storyline that have never been adapted and still could work beautifully.
Not to mention the X-Men in space is something we haven't seen onscreen (unless you count the first 10 minutes of Dark Phoenix which I certainly don't). Would love to finally see the Shi'ar and Brood onscreen, as well as the M'Kraan Crystal, Xavier/Lilandra's relationship, Storm breaking her vow of taking a life, the Imperial Guard, Deathbird's evil empire against Lilandra's rebellion, etc. Carol Danvers could easily be involved as well.
Small minded lol ok zombie
I seriously doubt we're gonna get the O5 (except maybe in flashbacks or a prequel Disney+ series or whatever if the X-men are already well-established in the present-day). Most likely we'll get either the TAS cast or some variation of the ANAD/Claremont-era cast.
I'm not interested in the Dark Pheonix Saga either. I get the feeling Mr. Sinister might be the overarching villain of the reboot which is perfect, since he has ties to a bunch of characters. He can be tied into the Super Soldier Program/Weapon X and thus Wolverine, he has ties to Cyclops and Jean (and Cable), he has ties to Gambit etc.
Wouldn't be my first preference but I agree that this could make for a great film. Jean as Pheonix tends to be seen as a prelude to the Dark Pheonix Saga these days, but it can be an interesting status quo for the character. Of course, once you do the Pheonix Saga, inevitably people start expecting the Dark Pheonix Saga, so there's that as well.
making lesser known X-MEN into stars > racebending imo
but you also have to factor in the extreme fan bases of individual X-MEN characters and if they aren’t included the negative backlash online (like a polaris not being included in 97 for example lol)
id do a team like this with like mix of first class/giant size/deadly genesis.. has diversity and more female than male.. but not sure if anyone would like this roster.. just an idea
cyclops
marvel girl
storm
wolverine
thunderbird
petra
sway
and then maybe some ppls like dr reyes & forge for tech/support but not in field idk

The agreement also provides Disney with the opportunity to reunite the X-MEN with the Marvel family under one roof and create richer, more complex worlds of inter-related characters and stories that audiences have shown they love. It only makes sense for Marvel to be supervised by one entity. There shouldn't be two Marvels.
Eventually you have to say enough is enough with the complaining.
Do you want a racebent Rogue or Monet?
Whose fault is it for all these under used and developed POC at Marvel?
Did we NOT have 2 GOTG movies with a talking raccoon that was not used for almost 20 years? Same with the girl talking to squirrels?
The public does not care about icon status or how many books someone has.
We have had characters with less than zero do more than those with a ton of crap.
Let the extreme whine.
i want M > racebent rogue 100%.. but i don’t want M in X-MEN until later down the road cuss i kinda wanna loosely base things off the books with how ppl join and not take away from splinter teams etc
but ye gotg shows they can make these ppl popular.. ive always subscribed to X-MEN >any individual X-MAN (but im a person without a favorite mutant)

Some of you guys do realize the optics (fictional or not) about a cast of white people living at a sprawling mansion and armed with superpowers complaining about how the world doesn’t accept them and they don’t have the same opportunities as regular people is tone deaf as hell right?
Give me indigenous Wolverine, black Rogue, AND still M.
People will deal.
