Whereas there are a variety of questions that have to be answered about it, the Marvel Cinematic Universe may have its personal model of the X-Males hitting the upcoming MCU motion pictures slate earlier than too lengthy. Disney’s merger with Fox again in 2019 meant that that beforehand licensed characters can be out there to the canon for the primary time, and along with The Implausible 4: First Steps, it is just a matter of time earlier than we get a full-on X-Males film set within the Marvel timeline.
At this stage within the sport, there’s a strong mixture of issues that we all know and don’t know in regards to the X-Males and different mutants within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, so whereas we watch for the image to additional make clear, we’ve put collectively this information. We’ll proceed to replace this characteristic as issues develop and new particulars are introduced, however for now, right here’s what we all know to this point in regards to the MCU X-Males film.
The MCU X-Males Film Launch Date
There presently is not any X-Males film to be discovered on the Marvel Cinematic Universe launch calendar. There are six movies with established dates set to reach in theaters between now and summer season 2027, and there may be zero particular indication that we’ll be getting a brand new MCU X-Males film in that point span. A minimum of for now, the upcoming movies embrace:
Whereas followers should wait to see the live-action MCU X-Males, there are a few upcoming Marvel TV reveals that includes mutant characters – together with the ultimate run of What If…? and new seasons of X-Males ’97.
The MCU X-Males Film Director
With the MCU X-Males film at present present extra as a behind-the-scenes thought than an formally introduced undertaking, it gained’t shock anybody studying this to learn that there’s at present no director hooked up to make the movie. There have been some shaky on-line rumors suggesting Jordan Peele has met with Marvel Studios to debate concepts, however neither occasion has confirmed whether or not or not that assembly ever occurred, not to mention that the topic of dialog was the correct introduction of mutants within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
As a result of so little is thought about how Marvel Studios will finally strategy the primary MCU X-Males film, it’s unimaginable to say what sort of director will in the end take the helm of the movie. It’s attainable that they may try to attain out to standout auteur filmmakers to tackle the very important project, or the blockbuster may find yourself within the palms of an up-and-comer (Jon Watts made Spider-Man: Homecoming as his third characteristic, and The Implausible 4: First Steps shall be director Matt Shakman’s second).
X-Males Characters We Have Seen In Marvel Cinematic Universe Motion pictures
As of 2024, the canon Marvel Cinematic Universe – identified in-world as Earth-616 – has not been led by any X-Males characters… however that’s not the identical factor as saying zero X-Males characters have appeared in Marvel Cinematic Universe motion pictures. Because of universe-hoping antics in latest movies, some particular heroes have appeared inside the franchise:
Professor X
In Physician Unusual In The Multiverse Of Insanity, the titular sorcerer is taken by America Chavez to Earth-838, and a part of his time there may be spent pleading a case in entrance of a strong panel known as the Illuminati. One member of this group is Professor Charles Xavier (performed by Patrick Stewart), although he’s finally killed when he engages in a psychic battle with the Scarlet Witch and will get his neck snapped.
Beast
After Monica Rambeau will get trapped in an alternate universe on the finish of The Marvels, she wakes up in a hospital mattress and is shocked to be face-to-face along with her mom – however what Marvel followers actually love in regards to the finish credit scene is that it options the return of Dr. Hank McCoy a.okay.a. Beast in his full blue, furry glory (and the voice of Kelsey Grammer, who beforehand performed the function in X-Males: The Final Stand).
Deadpool
We’re enjoying a bit unfastened with the definition of “X-Males characters” right here, as Deadpool isn’t actually greatest identified for being part of the well-known mutant workforce, however he has been affiliated with the group, so he’s being counted. Wade Wilson, performed by Ryan Reynolds, makes a quick cease in Earth-616 in the beginning of Deadpool & Wolverine, however the overwhelming majority of the movie is ready within the X-Males universe (a.okay.a. Earth-10005) and the barren dimension often called The Void.
Wolverine
Hugh Jackman made his large comeback as Logan a.okay.a. Wolverine in Deadpool & Wolverine, however his future enjoying the character within the Marvel Cinematic Universe is underdetermined (regardless of insistence by Deadpool all through the film that Marvel may have the Australian actor enjoying the half till he’s 90 years previous). On the finish of the movie, Wolverine is featured entering into Earth-10005, and we don’t but know if he’ll ever get to Earth-616.
Gambit
Channing Tatum spent years and years making an attempt to develop a solo Gambit film, and whereas that movie by no means acquired on its ft, the actor did lastly get the possibility to play the character in Deadpool & Wolverine. The titular anti-heroes meet the card-throwing Cajun whereas they’re caught within the Void, and so they workforce up with him (alongside another large display Marvel rejects) to try to defeat Emma Corrin’s Cassandra Nova.
Current Mutants In The Marvel Cinematic Universe
Simply because Earth-616 doesn’t characteristic any correct X-Males characters but doesn’t imply that it isn’t fully with out mutants. On this house, we’ll maintain monitor of all of the characters within the canon who’ve been particularly recognized as Homo superior.
Kamala Khan a.okay.a. Ms. Marvel
As issues presently stand, the one identified mutant character within the Marvel Cinematic Universe is Kamala Khan a.okay.a. Ms. Marvel – performed by Iman Vellani. It’s established within the finale of the Ms. Marvel Disney+ collection that her powers come from a mutant gene, and the revelation was paired with a musical queue acquainted to followers of X-Males: The Animated Sequence.
How The X-Males May Issue Into Avengers: Secret Wars
At current, nothing is thought in regards to the plot of Avengers: Secret Wars – however given comedian ebook historical past, there’s a risk that the movie will contain X-Males characters not directly. That is complete hypothesis, however we’re gonna let it rip anyway:
Within the 2015 Secret Wars occasion printed by Marvel Comics, the primary Marvel Universe is destroyed when it fairly actually collides with an alternate canon often called the Final Universe. Following the occasions of Deadpool & Wolverine, it’s not wholly inconceivable that the Marvel Cinematic Universe will pull off one thing very related on the massive display and have the MCU find yourself crashing along with Earth-10005.
Whether or not or not that is used as a path to introduce a brand new model to the MCU is one thing we might not know till summer season 2027.
