I once compared it to the Hogwarts of marvel comic books, you cannot take that away ,although the worrywith the school is MCU may want to turn it into Disney High than Mutant high when mutant high should be more inline with Star Trek's star fleet academy.
    There is no reason for Marvel to go back on the same well Singer did. Even in comics, most fans are sick of it, and setting it up on another place immediately sets it apart from the Fox movies and opens new possibilities, not to mention it brings no one associations with rape.

    Ugh, that all gives me the creeps. Plus he was still making the movies like it was 2003, not 2016.

    Yeah, that could work.

The hair and makeup artists on set have no idea how to work with anything non-Anglo centered.

    Black Panther looked the way it did because the people behind the scenes knew what they were doing. Ruth E. Carter won an Oscar for her costume design! She did B.A.P.S all those years ago so she has always been a legend!
    I should have said with the exception of Black Panther. Shuri's styling as a Wakandan teen was fantastic. Her costuming and the hair & makeup department were adding storytelling on top of the actors, directors and script.

    He made an interconnected theme with all the uniforms and gave each some individual flair. Would something like this be a good start?
    I love the way McKelvie designs costumes as streetwear. I want to see this styled as bomber jackets with running pants. Like an Olympics team rather than the Dad!Leatherette that the Avengers wear.

    I guess Jean could dress up like a big brain, Logan can wear a photorealistic wolverine fur suit, and Storm can dress up like a news channel weather forecaster.

    Hahaha that's pretty funny. I would assume Jean would have a phoenix symbol.

    Thank you. I mean the individual costumes should have some theme to them. Wasp looks like a wasp, Captain Marvel has a star, Black Panther looks like a panther, Dr. Strange looks like a magician, so does Scarlet Witch, even Quicksilver has a lightning bolt. That's what i'm getting at.

    X-Men is just to big a brand name to change. People know the name X-Men. Most people outside of us nerds don't know X-Force, X-Factor, or any other team name. Marvel is not going to miss out on household brand name like X-Men. It would be moronic is they did.

    This whole article is just nonsense.

    The Marvel brand is all that matters. They can call it whatever they want. People will see it. Lots of them.

    And, yeah, to your point I don’t think they’ll abandon the X-men brand name. My guess is even if this is true, they’ll be called X-men by the end of the film.

    I think 'The Mutants' is a working title.

    Yeah... if they can make a show with a goofy ass title like “WandaVision” work than they can pretty much do whatever.

    If Marvel wants to make something fresh but still nostalgic, they should adapt the Outback era. With an altered character roster of course.

    That'd be pretty rad. I don't think that is the direction they'll go in though.
