My idea for an MCU X men reboot
The Fox X men films have ranged from great to terrible. That's understandable, every franchise has its own X men origins wolverine somewhere. But that's not the only problem, the X men movies are great movies, but they feel less and less like X MEN movies as time goes on. They’re continuity is collapsing on itself and characters feel nothing like their comic selves. I propose that Fox not only reboots, but makes a deal with marvel to allow their X men to appear in crossover marvel films and have marvel take charge of the films creatively. For the reboot I want to bring the X men back to their roots. The X men have always been kind of serious. But this doesn't mean they can't also where bright yellow costumes and save the world. Singer did a lot right. He got the idea of the X men. He got the soul but not the body. The body . The X men need costumes because they are supposed to be heroes. In fact, in the MCU this would actually make a lot of sense. Mutants are hated and feared. They need some good PR. No one really hates and fears the avengers even though they have powers. Mutant terrorists like the brotherhood of mutants are giving mutants a bad name. Sentinels are being developed. Mutants are being hunted. So Xavier has starts a school and has his students save people in danger and fight against the brotherhood wearing yellow and blue costumes. But, how do mutants exist in the MCU? Well actually, it's really easy to explain. Mutants have existed for centuries in the marvel universe, just in very small numbers. In the 20th century there were in total around 200 mutants in the entire world. But in this new generation the mutant population has skyrocketed and they are appearing around the world. Mutants were still relatively unknown though and they were often mistaken for enhanced humans. In the past 2 years previous to this movie the X gene became public knowledge as well the fact they were the next stage of human evolution. The reactions to this information were crimes against mutants and the American government attempting to register them with a Sokovia accords-esque document, the mutant registration act, created by senator Robert Kelly. The government is also debating the use of inventor Boliviar Trasks sentinels, robots built to defeat criminal mutants. In reaction a mutant terrorist group called the brotherhood of mutants, led by the mysterious Magneto, has been formed. Professor Charles Xavier, a mutant telepath , has formed a school for other mutants to protect them from a world that hates and fears them. So far he only has 5 students, who has chosen to show the world that mutants should not be feared, by training them and equipping them to fight against the brotherhood and protect humans and other mutants. These are my choices for the characters that will appear in this movie:
X-men
Professor X
Scott Summers/ Cyclops
Jean Grey/ Marvel Girl
Bobby Drake/ Ice man
Warren Worthington III/ Angel
Hank McCoy/Beast
Professor X is an telepathic mutant who seeks peace between human and mutant. He was once friends with Eric Magus, before he became Magneto
Cyclops has been chosen by Xavier to lead the X men, but he is still unsure of himself. If he can't control his powers, how can he lead his team?
Jean is an extremely powerful mutant, one of the strongest Xavier has ever encountered. She likes Cyclops, he likes her, neither can admit it.
Ice man is the youngest of the students at Xavier's school
Angel is the son of Warren Worthington II, who is the CEO of the company that is producing sentinels. They have a strained relationship.
Beast is the smartest of the team. He loves to read and is an expert at genetics.
The Brotherhood of Mutants
Magneto
Toad
Blob
Mystique
Avalanche
Magneto was one of the earliest recorded signs of the X gene in Europe. He was captured and experimented on by the nazis and hydra during WWII in concentration camps. He believes that another genocide is coming, this time with mutants.
Toad is a freakish little frog like creature. He is comedy relief.
Blob was a circus freak and wrestler before he met magneto and joined the brotherhood to pay him back for helping him get out of the circus.
Mystique was an assassin for hire before she met magneto and now completely believes in his teachings. She dislikes humans.
Avalanche is a mysterious greek criminal who can cause seismic events and minipulate the battlefield around him.
The plot of the movie will involve Xavier recruiting his students to the school and training them to protect humans and mutants. At the same time Senator Kelly is fighting for a bill to be passed allowing Sentinels to be used as mutant law enforcement. The X-men encounter The Brotherhood of Mutants and learn about magneto. The brotherhood defeat the X men and escape but Xavier mind reads that Magneto plans to attack a navy base next and launch a nuclear weapon at Washington. The X-Men prepare and head to the base. During the battle at the base the government decide to release the Sentinels but the X-men save the day first when the combined powers of Jean and Scott stop the nuke. The Brotherhood is defeated and taken away by the government but Magneto disappeared in the destruction after the battle.
In the sequel the villain should be mastermold, an AI created to control the sentinels during use. The original team will be captured by mastermold and Xavier will form a new team consisting of Wolverine, Storm, NightCrawler, Colossus, and Thunderbird.
By the third movie the complete team will be Cyclops, Jean, Wolverine, Storm, NightCrawler, Collossus, and Shadow-cat. Angel's father died in the previous movie so he now runs the company. Beast has joined the avengers(as part of an attemp to improve human-mutant relations), and ice man is with family.
Future movies will deal with Magneto’s return on asteroid M trying to start a war between human and mutant, The Hellfire club manipulating Jean Grey, and the Phoenix and Dark Phoenix saga(the Phoenix is an entity from space that possesses the most powerful mutant) The Shi'ar will appear in the dark Phoenix movie.
Those are my ideas, tell me what you think.
Also, Cyclops needs to meet Captain America someday.
