Executive Editor and Senior Vice President of Publishing at Marvel, Tom Brevoort is to take cost of the X-Men at Marvel from 2024

Yesterday, Bleeding Cool reported feedback in from a current Substack missive by Executive Editor and Senior Vice President of Publishing at Marvel, Tom Brevoort speaking a couple of challenge he’d been persuaded to tackle by Marvel Entertainment President Dan Buckley. “He told me he was going to ask me to do something that I wasn’t going to want to do, and then proceeded through a combination of need, flattery, genuine admiration, duty and responsibility to get me to agree to take on the specific mission that he was hoping to entice me into… So August 1, 2023 was the day it all changed. We’re not ready yet to say anything more about what this is or what’s coming next, but it’s all pretty exciting.”

Well, ten days later, and partially due to Bleeding Cool’s submit, he is prepared. Tom Brevoort elaborated what was happening earlier in the present day on Facebook, posting;

“There’s been a bunch of chatter this past week concerning the “secret mission” that Dan Buckley spoke with me about that got mentioned in my Newsletter—some of it pretty funny. No, I am not becoming EIC. That’s hardly a thing that we’d announce in a Newsletter, guys. C.B. is welcome to the position, it suits him and he’s good at it.  No, the big story is that, after a quarter of a century editing AVENGERS and its associated titles, I am going to be moving away from those characters and titles and instead stepping into the world of mutants. Yes, that’s right, I’m afraid that it’s true—I’m the X.”

You can now image Tom Brevoort singing Spock’s music from final week’s Star Trek: Strange New Worlds if you want. “This news really changes everything…”

“This isn’t going to happen for a good long while yet—I still have a ton of stuff cooking in AVENGERS (including next year’s big crossover event series) that needs to be seen to completion. And at the same time, current X-guru Jordan White and his team have a massive story that they’re in the middle of and that won’t run its course for a long while. What I do will grow directly out of what they’re doing—provided they leave me anything to work with. Did you read that HELLFIRE GALA book? Cripes!”

“When we’re closer to the switchover happening and there’s something worth reporting on, you’ll hear more from us. For now, I’m still trying to figure out which one is Professor X. So that’s it! A big change, but not really that big of a change. Appreciate you all for reaching out. I’m excited for what’s to come.”

Naturally, there was loads of hypothesis as to what this may imply to the Krakoan Age of the X-Men, in addition to the way it may tie into upcoming Marvel Studios plans for the X-Men, as Kevin Feige is the CCO of all of Marvel as of late. Tom Brevoort is Marvel’s longest-serving worker, certainly one of its most senior executives, and has been accountable for the Avengers titles in current a long time, when Avengers turned the precedence of Marvel Studios. This transfer suggests a change of focus for Marvel Studios in the direction of the X-Men in years to come back.

Also, what does this imply for present X-Men Group Editor Jordan D White? I’m additionally wanting into a number of the gossip that has come my means earlier than this announcement. Will we ever get one other Hellfire Gala once more? It’s all going to be in Tom Brevoort’s arms come 2024…
