A podcast for true comic book fans
Is the MCU bringing the X-Men back to their roots? ✖️🧬
In this clip from the latest episode of Super Hero Speak, we dive into the exciting new rumors surrounding the MCU’s highly anticipated X-Men reboot. Word on the street is that Marvel is going back to basics by focusing on the “Original Five” team, purposefully distancing themselves from the Wolverine-heavy Fox universe.
We break down the rumored roster, discuss how they might handle character origins, and talk about potential young cast members like Stranger Things star Sadie Sink.
🎙️ What We Discuss in This Clip:
The Original Five: Why choosing Cyclops, Jean, Beast, Angel, and Iceman is the perfect way to separate the MCU from the Fox movies.
The Rogue Factor: How Rogue might fit into the story as a student or even as a villain in the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.
The Beast Dilemma: Will Marvel start with a human-looking Hank McCoy to show character progression, or jump straight to the iconic blue fur?.
Iceman’s Arc: Discussing how the MCU might adapt Bobby Drake’s comic-accurate character arc and the importance of modern representation.
Casting the New Class: The strategy of casting relative unknowns in their 20s (with mentions of Sadie Sink) to build a long-term franchise.
Krakoa Storyline Pitch: Could this original team setup lead to a Giant-Size X-Men style rescue mission on Krakoa?.
