X Men Reboot Idea

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

The sequel would take place sometime after X: Genesis. This would begin telling Magneto's story as he has flashbacks to his childhood, his life with Wanda, and being estranged from his children. His flashbacks occur as he is leading his Brotherhood and Acolytes in a battle against the Professor X's X Men. It would be the Brotherhood (Sabertooth, Mystique, Juggernaut, and Avalanche) and the Acolytes (Amelia, Exodus, and Gambit) against the X Men (Cyclops, Jean Grey, Iceman, Angel, Beast, Psylocke, and Colossus). This battle does not end well for the X Men as members are severely injured. Professor X attempts to reason with Magneto after the battle, but he is set on destroying humanity whom he blames for crimes against mutants and more importantly what they had done to he and his family. Juggernaut belittles the Professor whom Professor X recognizes as his step brother Cain. He charges at the Professor, but is stopped as Jean shields the Professor with her powers. Psylocke uses her psychic blade to remove Juggernauts helmet and he is stunned by the Professor. Magneto and his forces leave Cain and the injured X Men as he wages war against humans. Fearing there isn't much time left before Magneto wipes out the entire human race, the Professor feels he must summon a second team of X Men to stop Magneto at all costs.

The Professor is also hurt by the fact that Amelia has joined Magneto's cause and feels she is a hypocrite for doing so. He reaches out to her telepathically, but she rejects him.

Professor X uses Cerebro to track more mutants. Once he has found his chosen, he and Jean embark on a mission to assemble this second line of defense. They travel to Canada and find Wolverine, who is instantly drawn to Jean. They then find themselves in Cairo where they recruit Storm. Rogue, Colossus, and Nightcrawler round out the second band of X Men. They all come with their own internal scars that the Professor helps heal while they vigorously train for battle.

Meanwhile, Magneto and his forces are kept at bay by Sentinels. While the sentinels prove to be no match for the master of magnetism, Bolivar Trask and a mysterious geneticist have extracted genetic material from mutants to create super sentinels.

Professor X also finds two more mutants just in case all else fails. Since Magneto played dirty recruiting his step brother Cain and former lover Amelia, Professor X has some tricks up his sleeve as well.

The mysterious figure has taken a special interest in Jean Grey and Cyclops. While the Professor was away recuting mutants, the mysterious figure kidnaps an injured Cyclops.

The Professor arrives back at the mansion and notices something sinister has taken place. He senses that Cyclops has been taken by a threat far greater than Magneto, but must first focus on stopping Magneto.

The Professor sends his X Men (Jean, Rogue, Storm, Colossus, Psylocke, Nightcrawler and Wolverine) into battle with Magneto and his forces yet again. This time they are met by super sentinels. They prove to be formidable opponents, but are no match against the X Men.

The X Men face off against Magneto's forces. Mystique is distracted at the sight of Rogue and Nightcrawler. Both are angry with her for abandoning them.

Wolverine faces off against Sabertooth. Storm and Jean face off against Exodus. Jean starts feeling her powers growing stronger.

Psylocke faces off against Amelia

Colossus faces off against Gambit.

Professor X confronts Magneto and asks him is this the type of world he would want for his children? Magneto asks "what children, humanity took everything from me". "Not everything father" utters a small voice as Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver come into view. Magneto sheds tears as he is reunited with his children. He calls off the battle, which his forces were already losing to the X Men. As everyone retreats, huge blast occurs rendering everyone unconscious and scattered across the field. When everyone awakes several mutants are noticeably missing: Jean Grey, Exodus, Mystique, and Storm.

The missing mutants have been telephoned to a pyramid. Out of the shadows, the mysterious figure is revealed to be Mr. Sinister. He has Cyclops and Jean unconscious inside of a chamber. Mystique, Exodus, and Storm are mounted on horses. Mr. Sinister utters "your horsemen are ready. The apocalypse is at hand".

The ending with Magneto about to destroy everything and then his children whispering "father" and the battle is over sounds kinda Martha-ish to me

Feige hasn’t missed yet....have faith.

Touche. I should’ve Clarified and said origin stories. And which Hulk Movie? The one with Norton?

Visually I liked both hulk movies but even the Norton one, he didn't look like hulk, they made him look weird, and the action was just okay

 

[Lefty Gunz]

Feige is clearly a silver age Marvel Fan. First MCU X-men movie will probably be the OG Lee/Kirby First Class. Jean, Cyclops, Angel, Iceman and Beast

Eh I don’t know if I’d want to sit through a Prof X story. Honestly they could just reboot and do some tweaks to the 90’s cartoon and I’d be good. Start off with a formed team of characters people like and get it poppin from the get go. We don’t need introductions after 9 X Men movies. Just make good ones with good villains no more mystique for the love of God, you got Sinster, you could redo Apocalypse, Magneto and the Acolytes(instead of the brotherhood bring in Exodus, Fabian Cortez etc) do Genosha or hell the Savage Land. So many classic X Men stories to pull from and tweak enough to be fresh and not just retread Cyclops/Jean, Wolverine staying or leaving, making Storm, Rogue, Nightcrawler, Havok, Banshee, etc totally useless side notes or bringing in classic characters *cough* psylock *cough* Angel to do absolutely nothing

The reason why I didn't start off with a fully formed team is because Professor X's story was always dope, but the movies never did it justice. First Class should've been Professor X's journey into starting the X Men. I was also going to include the X Gene in the beginning to set off the trilogy. Like, it all starts with the X gene, but where does the X gene come from? Then you could get into Nathaniel Essex (Mr. Sinister) and En Saba Nur (Apocalypse). Like they aren't fully blown characters in the movie yet, but its set up to where they are the main villains later. For example, Essex's research into genetics leads to the discovery of the X gene and you could tie that into Professor X's story by his father being a scientist. Then Essex's work mentions En Saba Nur as the first mutant and Essex has studied him for ages.

Apocalypse was the reason I thought of the idea. I didn't like the way X-Men: Apocalypse happened. They had a nice build up with Days Of Future Past and instead of the timeline being altered causing Apocalypse to awaken, he's summoned by some chants. Then to make it worse, he's already equipped with the celestial technology. He should've been Pharoah looking with these mystical powers.

They should appeal to the late 80’s/ 90’s babies. I feel like majority of us just want to see the X-men team that made us die hard fans. At this point, I want fan service

MCU doesn’t seem to care about origin stories all that much. I honestly think they will tie mutants in somehow with one of the upcoming movies and then throw the X-men at us.

This.

I think the next upcoming projects will have names, cameos and references in them. No origins. Also, you'll see not just X Men characters but multiple marvel characters just mixed in.

You might see Erik Magnus helping Wanda out in Wandavision or Ghostrider in a Dr. Strange movie or a young Professor X in an eternals movie just chilling in the cut in the early 70's.

Skip forward and see Ororo Monroe casually having a convo with TChalla about their divorce and how to stop Namor....then Doom comes through and crushes the building.

You might see Silver Surfer and Adam Warlock casually in a Guardians of the Galaxy movie or Wolverine and Omega Red in a Falcon and Winter Soldier's series. Wolverine might just be a sleeping weapon X in a tube. His facial hair and shyt should look something like Diego from s2 of Umbrella academy though. No mask, just an old ripped up dude.

By phase 5, Professor X uses telepathy to casually gather the extended crew back for a catastrophic event with Shiar or something. Of course this is after his first unit gets wiped out.

Rumors are Rogue showing up in the next Captain Marvel and the Weapon X program in Falcon and Winter Soldier.

I know where you got that from. It's false. The Omega Red rumor is true though.

I mean it's just a rumor but it's been around for atleast 6 or 7 months.

There's news sites and subreddits dedicated to leaking shyt where I check shyt out. Too much rambling in videos nowadays.

I don’t think that’s “cut and dry” the case.

But earlier they didn’t have all the COMPONENTS to tell the origins page by page. So they had to adapt as best as they could
