MCU X-Men Movie: Kevin Feige Talks Characters, '97 Connection & Release Date

MCU X-Men Movie Distribution Date

Though the much awaited MCU X-men film is still under wraps, fans are keen to know when they might expect to see their preferred mutants on film. Marvel Studios has taken action to bring the project to life, suggesting a possible premiere in the next years even though the official release date is yet unknown.

Potential Dates for X-Men Movies

Marvel Studios has not stated a release date, thus some situations could occur:

After the Multiverse Saga ends, the X-men film might open at the beginning of Phase 7. With a large multiverse cast, this would let Hugh Jackman's Wolverine and other Fox X-Men characters make a last appearance in Avengers: Secret Wars.

Earlier Debut in Avengers 5 Marvel could decide to bring the X-Men earlier depending on the popularity of X-men '97 and the expected success of Deadpool & Wolverine. Avengers 5's gripping plot might center on a version of Avengers vs. X-Men bringing the mutants into the fold as early as 2026.

Should the script be finished by early 2025, a dedicated X-Men movie could be released in 2026 following Avengers 5. Still, following Avengers: Secret Wars, 2027 is most likely the release date.

Characters and Links to X-Men '97

Head of Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige, has made hints about the likelihood of seeing familiar Fox X-Men movie stars alongside fresh characters. This method reflects the effective plan applied for the Spider-Man Movies, in which new additions were combined with characters from past versions.

Feige also expressed delight about including X-men '97 animated series' soap opera elements into the MCU. This could suggest a possibility for investigating intricate relationships and interpersonal dynamics inside the X-Men team, so giving their cinematic representation fresh direction.

X-Men Movie: a Multiversal Love Letter to the Franchise

Between the Fox X-Men universe and the MCU, the forthcoming Deadpool and Wolverine film acts as a link. Though it's not a total reboot, it's a multiverse homage to the franchise whereby characters from many past iterations coexist inside the bigger Marvel Cinematic Universe. This method lets a wide range of X-Men characters be highlighted, so providing a fresh viewpoint on the team.

Separate Project MCU X-Men Movie

Marvel Studios is also working on a separate X-Men film that will be a real reboot of the mutant team inside the MCU, even while Deadpool & Wolverine functions as a multiversal crossover. This reboot will present a fresh batch of X-Men, maybe including characters who have not yet made movie appearances. Michael Lesslie, the author of this project, is well-known for his work on The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, suggesting an intense and immersive method to approach the X-Men narrative.
