The linked stories and epic battles of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) have enthralled viewers. Fans are excited about the possibility for a major crossover event: Avengers vs. X-Men now formally included into the MCU. The prospect of this collision of titans has spurred great conjecture, and Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has given some seductive hints on the direction of these venerable programs.
Kevin Feige discussed the possibilities of an Avengers against X-Men narrative at Comicbook.com's Phase Zero, so exposing their limitless nature. He underlined the difficulties experienced in previous MCU projects when some characters were absent owing to rights concerns. "What's fun is it's all possible now," Feige said. "So we had to eliminate just dozens of characters from those comic books when we were working on [Captain America:] Civil War for instance, or even [Avengers:] Infinity War since we lacked access to them. We have access to all of them instead of having to decide which future narratives we should feature."
A key event in Marvel Comics history is the legendary Avengers against X-men plot. It sets the strong Avengers, Earth's Mightiest Heroes against the mutant X-Men, protectors of mutantkind. Their basic divergent ideas and methods of preserving the earth lead to conflict.
Fans have been enthralled with the prospect of an Avengers against X-Men event in the MCU, sparking ceaseless arguments on how the two teams might collide. While some say the conflict might start from a basic philosophical collision—the Avengers' human-centric approach against the X-Men's mutant advocacy—others speculate it might start from a misunderstanding or a shared enemy.
Although Kevin Feige's remarks don't specifically confirm an Avengers vs. X-Men narrative, they provide a window into the enormous opportunities Marvel Studios now have. With no restrictions placed on the MCU by rights issues, it is now free to investigate the whole spectrum of Marvel Comics' legendary characters, tales, and conflicts.
By including the X-Men into the MCU, Marvel Studios opens more narrative opportunities, can introduce fresh conflicts, investigate deeper issues, and craft even more complex and linked stories. The X-Men's arrival to the MCU and the possibility for exciting crossover events are much awaited by fans, and Marvel Studios is set to provide an unheard-of degree of epic narrative in the next years.
