The MCU’s X-Men Reboot Has To Break An Annoying Fox Franchise Trend
Marvel’s upcoming X-Men reboot, be it a movie or a TV show, has the opportunity to break an annoying Fox X-Men franchise trend. So far, the MCU’s X-Men introduction has been limited to Patrick Stewart’s Professor X in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and the mentions of “mutation” and “mutant” during Ms. Marvel and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, respectively. Apart from the X-Men ’97 revival and Deadpool 3, an X-Men-related Marvel Studios project has yet to be announced.
Rebooting the X-Men universe for the MCU will not be an easy task. Unlike the Fantastic Four, which never really succeed on the big screen, the X-Men led their own cinematic franchise for more than two decades. Still, there is plenty of room for Marvel to set its X-Men reboot apart from the previous film, especially if the MCU fixes mistakes from the Fox franchise.
