<br>These recent comments come from activist investor Nelson Peltz, as reported by Variety , who has had some conflict with Disney CEO Bob Iger in the past. Following some statements about Black Panther and The Marvels , which misrepresented the films themselves, Peltz was asked about his thoughts on Kevin Feige. Peltz's comments on Marvel and Feige can be seen be<br><br> <br>Clearly, this film would have been set in 1963, just a year after the events of X-Men: First Class , and it would have presumably continued the story of Magneto's Brotherhood of Mutants. Vaughn wanted to add two new characters to the X-Men team roster; a recast Wolverine , who he imagined played by someone like Tom Hardy, and another unnamed character who was designed to match Magneto.

It's true that there were risks. It's entirely possible viewers wouldn't have taken to a recast Wolverine, for example, particularly given that character isn't supposed to age. And yet, there'd have been an undeniable sense of momentum, with the stakes continually increasing; character arcs would have been far more organic, with Xavier and Magneto developing in logical and consistent ways, while Jean Grey's Dark Phoenix turn would have carried a greater impact.

Quantumania is also now the lowest-ranked MCU movie according to critics on Rotten Tomatoes . The Disney+ series, Secret Invasion , also earned a very low Rotten Tomatoes score and drew criticism for its use of AI.

There is no way Feige could have predicted the Majors situation, and The Marvels wasn't able to be promoted properly due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes that took place in 2023. Though The Marvels could've been delayed, <a href="http://Www.deeskinshop.com/go/index.php?go=http://unique-Listing.com/details.php?id=395571">SLG Game Updates</a> it would've necessitated pushing back the entire MCU slate. It's also worth considering that the issues Peltz identified with Marvel don't hold up to scrutiny.
