The Marvel Cinematic Universe is in need of a reboot and introducing the XMen just might do the trick. But does Marvel's merry mutants need the MCU to thrive?
Long before Marvel became a Disney-owned Hollywood juggernaut, the cash-strapped comics publisher stayed afloat by licensing the movie rights to its most popular characters to major studios. Sony and Columbia Pictures hit the jackpot with Spider-Man, with the film franchise having grossed over $9 billion since 2002, but it’s arguably 20th Century Fox who got the most bang for its buck by purchasing the rights to Marvel’s most sprawling roster of characters: the X-Men.
The MCU needs the X-Men to revitalize its roster While the Multiverse era of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has had its share of hits, like the box-office giant Spider-Man: No Way Home, the emotionally stirring Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and imaginative TV series Loki and Ms. Marvel, the MCU is inarguably enduring what sports fans call a “rebuilding phase.
There’s an X-Men team for every mood When Fox launchedits X-Men film series in the year 2000, the superhero genre was still establishing itself on the big screen, and in order to appeal to a mass audience, it needed to present itself as a fairly dry, grounded sci-fi/action franchise. Hence, everyone dresses in black leather and no one visits other planets.
Which raises the question: If the X-Men offer so much variety to begin with, what do they need the rest of the MCU for?
