Although Marvel Studios is not going through its best moment for various reasons, there are projects that are shaping up very well and which can give a second life to an MCU in the doldrums after the events of Avengers: Endgame. Among them are the X-Men, a group of mutants who aim to be one of the pillars of the studio for years to come.
After its enormous success with Fox, the Patrol X will arrive in the MCU in the years to come. And while there’s still a long way to go before we see them on the big screen, the producer of many of the X-Men films, Simon Kinberg wanted to talk about them and the key that Marvel Studios must consider for this team to succeed in their universe.
« If I had to give advice, honestly, it’s a very cliché thing, but it’s true: the main asset of the X-Men is the characters. As much as there’s a great story and a great plot and incredible action sequences and « All of these things are going to be necessary in the movies, as they are in the comics, what sets the X-Men apart, for me, is that they are the most richest of all comic strips in history. »
« So it’s really about the characters having the best actors. These actors will bring these characters to life in a whole new way that, honestly, I can’t wait to see. I’m a big fan of what Marvel and obviously I’m a big X-Men fan. »
As Kinberg says in his interview with Slash Film, the real key to the success of the X-Men at Marvel Studios will come through the actors. Just look at the casting that played this group of mutants in the past: Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen were formidable in the role of Charles Xavier and Magneto respectively, without forgetting Hugh Jackman and his eternal Wolverine who always fights.
There is still much to discover who will be the new members of the Patrol X but at least the wait will be entertaining with the arrival of another mutant, much weirder and less concerned with the safety of civilians: Deadpool 3 .
