Kevin Feige on X-Men in the MCU: ‘We’re Getting Close’

It’s been effectively over a 12 months since Disney acquired twentieth Century Fox, and with it, the rights to make films based mostly on the X-Men. But to date, Marvel has not introduced, a lot much less made, a brand new Marvel X-Men movie. But they’ve given indications they’re on the point of. Patrick Stewart’s Professor Xavier appeared in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Ms. Marvel revealed that the title character was a mutant. (They even performed a bit of of the basic X-Men theme music in the key scene.) And Marvel has additionally confirmed that they’re producing a 3rd Deadpool film, which can function each Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine.

So when will we see a full-on X-Men film or present in the Marvel Cinematic Universe? What, you thought Kevin Feige would simply inform you that data? No likelihood. Still, he’s getting requested all the similar — together with final night time at the premiere of the new Marvel film, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Deadline was the newest outlet to place the query to Feige, who largely identified that even MCU characters are questioning the similar factor, as She-Hulk requested the Ok.E.V.I.N. robotic the place the X-Men have been in her fourth-wall breaking season finale of her tv present.

While he provided no new data, Feige did level out that the Deadpool/Wolverine film is formally in the works. And, he added, “We’re getting close.”

Of course, nobody however the people at the Wakanda Forever premiere have seen the new Black Panther; for all we all know, the X-Men are throughout the film. Even in the event that they’re not, the movie does for positive function no less than one mutant — Namor, performed by Tenoch Huerta, whose character is sometimes called “the first mutant” in the whole Marvel Universe. (He debuted in the first subject of Marvel Comics in 1939.)

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever opens in theaters on November 11. Deadpool 3 with Wolverine is presently scheduled for launch on November 8, 2024. So the actual query is: Will be see extra X-Men in the MCU earlier than then?
