Marvel has just announced the first X-Men movie. Type of. With the elaborate cast announcement For Avengers: DoomsdayMarvel stated that many stars from the original fox X-Men The series is back, maybe as their original characters. There Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen, James Marsden, Rebecca Romijn, Alan Cumming, and Kelsey Grammar, to get started.
The cast will still come and we add many names when they announce. But we think it's safe to assume that they are playing Professor X, Magnet, Cyclops, Mystique, Nightcrawler, and Beast.
This is amazing -amazing for a bunch of factors. The first has two X-Men casts. There is from 2000 original, X-Menand the from 2011 reboot/prequel, X-Men: First class. Of course, they joined in a subsequent movie, but if you had to choose which cast would move to MCU, you could predict the younger one. Although, to be fair, both Stewart and Grammar are already reprising their duties to Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of madness and The wonders.
Then there is also a question of what role these characters play Avengers Movies are not Avengers. X-Men they are. So is it possible for them to sacrifice only the lambs so Doctor Doom, played by Robert Downey Jr., can prove his excellence? Will all these actors return to kill?
Obviously, we don't know. Nor do we know if the versions of the characters appear in Doomsday is the same X-Men from that universe. Deadpool & Wolverine, The actual first X-Men movie in MCU, it is clearly established that there are many versions of all these characters. And, to reveal that Channing Tatum returns as gambling, we know it's part. So, potential, they are completely new. Or maybe they are not even those characters.
However, it is exciting for fans of superhero movie fans to see these names. The Fox Universe has gained some closing opportunities in the past, but returns for a Avengers The movie feels like a whole new level.
