3 Fresh Concepts to Revitalize the X-Men in the MCU

Earlier today, I reported for BSO that Jake Schreier, the director of Thunderbolts, has also been appointed to helm the forthcoming untitled X-Men movie, confirming the film’s development has officially commenced. While he refrained from providing extensive details, he described the X-Men narrative as “intrinsically engaging and multifaceted,” indicating an intention to delve into this depth. Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige echoed this sentiment, emphasizing a “youth-centered” focus, which will resonate through the film’s tone and perspective. Fans are understandably excited about this new chapter for the X-Men, though there is immense speculation regarding the narrative approach Marvel might adopt. One intriguing possibility mirrors X-Men: First Class, showcasing a nascent team under Charles Xavier's guidance. Alternatively, the ensemble could be established from the onset, experiencing their initial tragedy. My ideal scenario would reflect the meticulous buildup of character arcs leading to a grand assembly, akin to Marvel's Phase One strategy. What stories resonate with you for this upcoming saga?
