Marvel Studios' X-Men movie gets some interesting comments from Kevin Feige.
Speaking to io9, Kevin Feige commented on which characters could appear in the MCU's X-Men movie and revealed which aspect of X-Men '97 should connect to the film. Check out the full quote below:
“Well, it’s that phrase we use often at Marvel, which is ‘It’s an embarrassment of riches. And there are a lot of great X-Men characters in the Deadpool & Wolverine film. There are a lot of great X-Men characters in all of the Fox versions of the X-Men films. And there are a lot of great X-Men characters that have never gone on the big screen. So I think as we always try to do, as we did when we made the arrangement with Sony for Spider-Man, you’ll probably see a mix of characters you’ve seen before and characters you’ve never seen before.
I think the success of X-Men ’97 was really exciting for us to see people revisit and reconnect with that world. And dare I say, the soap opera elements of that world, which is one of the things that’s so exciting to us about jumping into it finally in the MCU.”
