Marvel Is Introducing The Mutants To MCU
Marvel Studios is taking their time to introduce X-Men to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Hints about the mutants appeared in projects like ‘Ms. Marvel,’ ‘The Marvels,’ and ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.’
20th Century Fox made seven X-Men films and a successful Wolverine spinoff series. The series needed a fresh start after ‘Dark Phoenix’ in 2019. Marvel’s animated series ‘X-Men ’97’ is a big hit on Disney+, though, and it received great reviews so far.
A new X-Men movie was expected since Disney bought 20th Century Fox in 2019. Marvel Studios is also working on other X-Men-related projects, like the upcoming ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ movie. You can watch the film’s latest teaser below.
