While issues like superhero fatigue and box-office bombs continue to plague Marvel, the studio finally seems to have some good news in store.
With the mutant crew coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the studio has the golden opportunity to make reparations for the blunders that 20th Century Studios (formerly 20th Century Fox) made with X-Men.
So far, Marvel has tapped fresh blood for the live-action reboot, and from the looks of it, Michael Lesslie may be onto something. And fans are ready to roll with this new update, so whatever Kevin Feige must do to ensure this project sees the light of day, he should.
Marvel’s X-Men Reboot Reportedly Gets An Exciting Update
It looks like Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Studios is going to bear fruits after all because Marvel has an unmissable shot at doing something that Fox never could – make the perfect X-Men movie.
British playwright Michael Lesslie recently joined the forthcoming X-Men live-action reboot at the MCU as the screenwriter, and rumor has it that he might just be the knight in shining armor for both the studio and the fandom.
Industry insider Daniel Richtman has a fresh scoop as per which Lesslie – who penned the screenplay for The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes – reportedly pitched the genius idea of bringing the whole roster from the X-Men ’97 to the cinematic revival (via ScreenTime).
Just a month or so ago, an animated television series featuring the troupe of superhero mutants premiered on Disney+. And while there’s no official confirmation on whether or not the iconic posse will make it to the MCU’s live-action outing, fans are beyond excited by the mere prospect of it. The ball is in Kevin Feige‘s court now.
Fans Are Thrilled About the Possible Development With the X-Men Reboot
If the current update is anything to go by, fans may end up getting all the torchbearers of the mutant team – from Wolverine and Jean Grey to Cyclops and Rogue and even the likes of Storm and Jubilee, the full package.
Fans are already rejoicing at Lesslie’s rumored spiel about bringing the whole crew in the upcoming MCU version of X-Men so maybe this is Kevin Feige’s sign to continue with whatever it is that he may or may not be doing with the reboot.
Off to a good start

Im gonna reiterate this a million times….
I dont want 5 X-Men and their drama.
I want the whole damn team and to show them WORKING TOGETHER. Whether its using powers or no. Its just more fun when theyre ALL there, each with their own ideas and quippy speeches and comedy bits.— 🗡 Knight Kashim 🛡 (@KashimTenshi) June 22, 2024
WE WON

Given how big 97 was, that would be the smart move.

If the MCU does turn this into reality, it will be fixing one of Fox’s many mistakes with the franchise, like the timeline gaffes and disappointing sidelining of significant characters, to list a few. The ball is in Feige’s court now.
