For any Marvel fans that have yet to jump into the X-Men's new status quo, a new trailer explains everything going on with the franchise's Krakoan Age. Jonathan Hickman revitalized the X-Men two years ago with the releases of House of X and Powers of X. The two series saw the X-Men and mutantkind relocate to the island nation of Krakoa. Heroes and villains alike were all welcomed on Krakoa, meaning Wolverine, Cyclops, and Jean Grey had to share real estate with Mister Sinister and Apocalypse. Marvel breaks all of these developments down in a hilarious educational video

You don't create something like this for something your looking to get rid of. And the "krakoa" can be anywhere. Ok. I see you marvel. Krakoa bout to hit the big time.

I think i've watched about 4 times now. If this is what the xmen 92 comic leads up to and where xmen 97 goes this is going to be a treat. I love the "afraid you might hurt someone with your powers, and the authorities agree." lmao

Small detail, but I find it interesting that some characters like Kitty Pryde and Bishop are wearing their current comic costumes while others like Wolverine and Storm are not. Makes me wonder if this is indeed where the 92 comic is going, as well as possibly the cartoon revival too. Hmm…

What are you talking about, Hellion was in every frame! You just weren’t looking hard enough. For shame.

Anyway, on topic: Interesting trailer. Looks fun, looks like they could make a series off of this. Such a missed opportunity. Also for shame.

Can’t wait to lurk in that cloning thread and see if anyone brings this up.

exactly!

Krakoa is not going anywhere for a veryyyyyyyyyy long time.

For peeps clamoring for the old days of the Mansion; it ain't never ever ever ever happening.

I was so surprised seeing this, Marvel is all in and this may be the key to Mutantdom in the MCU as well

I'm fine with Krakoa but uh, I think you are being far too certain here. Things can change drastically in just a few years if leadership changes etc.

A few years is still a long time in comics time.

Let's say they reset the status quo in 2 years, that's still a 5 year Krakoan Age.

Claremont's run lasted 17 years, Nicieza and Co. had nearly 10 years, and Morrison had like 4ish years.

Given how popular the Krakoan Age is I would say minimum would be 5 years but if at anytime they use this current status quo in the MCU, it will be forever.
