This needs to be the era of Sunfire. He has so much potential, still untapped
Yeah fair. There’s still so many xmen to cover and I desperately hope we don’t just retread old ground eg: I will die if we have to keep seeing Scott and wolverine pining for Jean all the time
I think they can displays characters that are not over-used in Fox X-men that are still bankable.
My x-men MCU team.
Gambit, White Queen, Magik, Bishop, jubillee, Madrox, Colossus.
A new timeline (AOA, AOX)without the overused fox x-men i suggedt to introduce the mcu x-men.
Those academy x mutants can be the supporting character.
I don't think you can make an X-Men film without Cyclops IMHO if not for marketing purposes
I Would Say Introduce characters like Wolverine, Jubilee, Storm, Pixie and Gambit in The Mutants. X-Men with large ties to the larger Marvel Universe that aren't just regulated to appearing in the X-Men
While having the X-Men team as Cyclops, Nightcrawler, Blink (Make sure she is black), Iceman or Northstar and maybe M/Penance plus two others like Prodigy and Magma.
I could see Prodigy as a great movie replacement for Beast and you could give him a similar power to his comics and possibly merge it with Kid Omega's powerset to visually enhance him onscreen.

Anyone thinking we're going to start with lesser known X-men, or without Xavier playing any role, is really deluded. That would be like the Avengers films starting with the likes of Justice, Sentry or Fire Star and keeping Iron Man, Thor and Black Widow on the bench. Saturation from previous films doesn't really count since no one from the X-men apart from Wolverine and Xavier was really explored.
I think people are thinking way too hard and doing way too much, the title is lovely, hope they keep the 'MUTANTS'.
Thought HOUSE OF X, would be an epic name too. Just CAST THE PARTS PERFECTLY PLEASE. Cast Scott right, cast Jean correctly. GET EMMA RIGHT. Do Storm Justice and just put effort into each and every mutant.
I'd love to see HoX, PoX done onscreen to some capacity. it'd be smart, they could literally go anywhere with all the mutants that are on Krakoa.
I get the feeling that's where it may go too.
Who would you guys want to direct?
I like the Russo Bros because they have shown they can juggle multiple characters.
I just hope it doesnt become Wolverine featuring the X-Men again.
Yes I know he is there money maker but I don't want to see him, Mystique, Magneto or Xavier as the focal characters. We've had how many movies of that already.
But that is the "X-men", Wolverine has the most appearance of any comic book character(Superman, Batman ,Spiderman might have more), It is not the "X-men" with out Wolverine being used a lot. But as an example Iron Man in MCU logs about the same amount of minutes of Screen time as Wolverine in Fox. I haven't see the Iron Man is used too much statement very often. Why? Because Captain America and Thor log nearly as screen time as Iron Man and Hulk or some other Avenger generally got good focus as well. In the MCU the characters we expect to get focus got lots of focus at Fox, Wolverine got the focus we expected, and Cyclops, Storm, Nightcrawler got shortchanged for Xavier, Magneto, Mystique and Quicksilver who are good characters but not the ones who should be getting the lion share of the time.
The biggest mistake I think people make when they say I hope they use Wolverine less, Is not understanding that Marvel gets the X-men is a franchise, The first X-men movie for Fox was in 2000, and first team spin off movie was in 2020. I think does not matter if the franchise main movie is wolverine centric in a world where they are X-force, New Mutants, New X-men and X-factor/Excalibur projects. I don't think it matters if wolverine is being used a lot in world where we getting solo shows like Wandavision for Gambit & Rogue, Cable, Storm, X-23, Magik and others.
The fear of too much "Wolverine" is a Fox creation, MCU is not Fox with Moon Knight, Iron Heart, She Hulk, War Machine, Nick Fury and Wakanda all getting shows who don't compare to top X-characters in popularity. Characters not getting time to shine is the least of our worries imo.
