X-Men MCU

[Bryan Danielson]

Well some of the problems are how do you have a character like magneto doing some of the stuff he has done like hijacking the entire magnetosphere and threatening to reverse the electromagnetic poles and not have the avengers involved when it is a clear threat to the entire world and he has a giant space ship floating in the atomsphere. To comicbook fans you know why but in the movie goers eyes that will lead to questions galore

Maybe the excuse can be grounded in more reality


When Magneto makes his attack in say Seattle.... the Avengers were in NY.

Magnetos attack was no longer than 23 mins and no way in hell could the Avengers gear up and make it cross country in time..... at best even IM can only get to the WC in his suit in 2 hrs

House of M is the perfect way to set up the next event movie in the MCU for phase 5 or 6

In the comics to explain events that was like on a global danger scale in the world and the Xmen/mutants didn’t join the battle....

Per the “No More Mutant” storyline when Cap & Avengers came to the X-men for help. The X-men declined stating there are only small population of mutants and they ain’t gonna risk endangering them for Caps war.

But I’m sleep though

Can't blame em either

I could see then going with a story similar to the onslaught one

Cap. Ironman. Hulk. Thor. “Die” or dissapear and are seen as the golden age of heros. Make a shrine to them for protecting the world and wcarificing their life. Maybe thor banished to asgard really. Maybe hulk was shot into space. Maybe cap n tony really do die. Idk. So many ways man. Maybe they just finally retire into hiding as the world heals and new heros take their places only to return for the final battle with... DOOOM

And the world starts a new and mutants become more prevalent due to the end of infinity war and we find out they were always here but in too few of numbers to be anything. Maybe defeating thanos with the gems unlocks the x gene and people become mutants like wanda and pietro did. Maybe there were only a few mutants like wolverine n magneto etc hiding in plain sight. Maybe mags powers didnt fully amp til thanos was destroyed.

Seperating the universes is a HORRIBLE idea. We came all this way to do that AGAIN? Cmon brehs think a lil.

Fantastic 4 is commissioned by the givt to he the new “avengers” like team which makes them gain powers accidently in an experiment.maybe they were sent on a side mission to sabotage thanos and they too werebtransformed by the gauntlets powers like the mutants could be.

After a few films all the old characters return for the biggest smash in movie history.

You can keep magneto from ww2, maybe he finds a strain of super soldier serum to deage like he did in xmen evolution. Charles can be younger and be suprised how young magneto still as after all these years. Maybe he was an early experiment of the red skull and changed him somehow.


I just want a good cast man. Wolverine will be the hardest to do... bob hoskins (yes... im not kidding) was origibally cast as wolverine...

They need someone whos like 5’8 max with a stocky build but theyll prolly have some skinny pretty boy do him...

I cant wait for all this thats all i know.

i finally will see a true: sabretooth, sinister, apocolypse and juggernaut on screen in the next few years and its gonna be beautiful

Fantastic Four should be more exploration and research than crime fighting, I like that they were government commissioned though. With that, it would make sense why they got the Baxter building. I don't think they need to tie their cosmic rays origin with the infinity gems.

I don’t even think they gotta make Magnetos history date back to WW2.

I’m kinda done with seeing 65+ year old Magneto and Xavier.

I guess my hitch is and I do apologize for my hang up but it is what it is at this point.

I wanna see this closer to the line up from the Animated series and the comics that mimicked that.

I like how Punisher origin date back now to the Iraq war now..... same can be done here.

I would love to see them all closer to the ages they were in the cartoons and closer to age among each other.

I always hated how Rogue was portrayed as a kid in movies when she around the same age as Storm and Jean..... hell the 3 of them hang out together in their down times (especially Rogue and Storm).

Plus like how people love to talk about how nerfed Hulk and Thor is..... I don’t think anyone in the CBM have been more nerfed than Rogue.

So they need to stop playing get them a more age appropriate PAWG Rogue with all her powers

And have an Xavier and Mag in there late 40s, the actor playing Mag can die his hair

I know cats that had grey hair at 27

Thats what im saying tho. In the comics and xmen evolution hes gon thru deaging so he has the body of a man in his prime even as old as he is.

I just feel the nazi part is so close to his character arc itd be best to keep it and explain his young looks another way and the way they did it in xmen evolution to me was perfect because it was sinilar to what happened in the comics tho not exact.

I too am done seeing old magneto

Yes I don’t even think they were in their 50s in the cartoon/comics

@ZEB WALTON

You are right about Magnetos Nazi ties.


I can get that and I respect that...... I would say to flip it and make it even more connected to the MCU and at the same time modernize it.

Maybe instead of out right Nazis doing what they did to him.... it can be said “as a blanket” it was Hydra....... who essentially are Nazi’s

And this was done back in say late 60s early 70s.

I would just prefer for them to be in their late 40s

The best way to go for Magneto IMO is to have Hydra set up death camps post-WWII, and have Magneto lose his family at some point in the 70s or 80s. He could meet Professor X in the 90s. They should be boys for life in the beginning until their their ideological differences start to slowly push them apart more and more over time, turning them into the characters we're familiar with today.
Either way, I don't think they should use Magneto right away in the first movie. Magneto's a great character, but he's played out in the movies. I would pit the X-men against Sentinels or maybe Mystique's version of the Brotherhood of Mutants for the first movie.

Use Kitty Pryde as the fish-out-of-water viewpoint character as we get introduced to the world of the X-men. The established team would consist mostly from the Giant Sized X-men #1 lineup: Professor X, Cyclops, Storm, Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Colossus, Jean Grey* and Rogue (as a replacement for the now-retired Banshee).

Put Magneto in the Hannibal Lecter role, where Professor X meets him in prison for information once or twice before Magneto escapes at the end of the movie, setting him up to be the main villain in the sequel.

Establish that Beast, Cyclops, Jean, Iceman, and Angel were the original founding members in the backstory who have since moved on to other things, except for Scott and Jean.
Beast has since joined the Avengers (just like he did for years in the bronze age) and is no longer actively serving as an X-man. Angel runs a multi-billion dollar business and helps the X-men out financially, but no longer actively participates in combat. Iceman is off doing his own thing and randomly shows up in other movies.

* EDIT: If Fox's Dark Phoenix actually gets made before the deal goes through, they might be better off writing Jean Grey as having died before the events of the first movie as well. I want to see a proper Dark Phoenix Saga on the big screen more than anyone, but if/when Fox botches it, general audiences are going to be sick to death of the Phoenix.

@OrangeSodaStyle i like the idea of saving magneto for the 2nd movie. the first movie could have them square off against the government like you said... sentinels... all that shyt. once the general premise of the franchise has been established and their first great adventure has been chronicled, THEN you can bring in a real supervillain for them to face.

however if they were to go that route, i don't think they should even hint at magneto in the first movie. i like your hannibal lecter idea but i would rather be introduced to the character in all his glory. when he first reveals himself you can have it that none of the x-men know who he is except for xavier and then he can supply the backstory.

i would also save wolverine for the 2nd movie as well. the x-men franchise needs to establish again that is greater than just wolverine. get the public familiar with this iteration of the franchise first, firmly establish that this is a completely new x-men universe that has nothing to do with hugh jackman... and then when the streets are thirsty for the sequel you introduce wolverine. subplot would involve him constantly undercutting cyclops and cyclops learning how to adjust to this brash newcomer.
