Disney will not imitate Fox, yet complete exclusion of specific stories and characters would be a disappointment. So, how do you strike the proper balance? How do you feed desires while also pushing forth original, inspired, and creative content? Based on insider reports, Marvel has begun to work on the X-Men introduction and has plans to take Magneto in a very different direction.
Magneto could become one of the MCU’s primary saviors
Magneto was a primary antagonist throughout most of the Fox X-Men movies. Though he sometimes made decisions for the good of humankind, he often risked mutant lives, endangered humans, and challenged Professor X to reach the goals he deemed worthy of effort – and worthy of taking the many lives that would come to stand in his way.
When the MCU introduces Magneto, he may come into the soiree as a villain, posing a threat in an Avengers/X-Men mash-up. However, he will reportedly come to lead the fight against Doctor Doom when Secret Wars rolls around.
picStream reported — relying on Mikey Sutton’s intel to Youtube channel Lords of the Longbox — that Marvel is planning to “gradually emphasize the presence of Magneto and Doctor Doom in the MCU,” presumably in tandem (or in close succession).
