<br>The MCU has been facing some issues lately; 2023 saw two major box office disappointments in the form of The Marvels and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania . 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. On top of this, Jonathan Majors, who was set up as Marvel's new main villain, was convicted of assault and harassment and subsequently fired from the <br><br> <br>With Hugh Jackman reprising his legendary role as Wolverine in Deadpool 3 , the studio has an opportunity to make the razor-clawed mutant duke it out with one of his most frequent foes.

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, 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. Both Black Panther movies were huge box office successes for <a href="https://www.google.com.fj/url?q=http://www.records-research.sblinks.net/out/marvel-rivals-arena/">SLG Game Maps</a> Marvel, as was the original Captain Marvel .

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.

There's a strong sense in which the Marvel Cinematic Universe wouldn't exist without the X-Men films. Marvel Comics only survived near-bankruptcy in the '90s by selling off the film rights to some of its most notable characters, including Spider-Man and, of course, the X-Men. What's more, many key figures in Marvel Studios cut their teeth on the X-Men films, including even Marvel Studios president Kevin Fe<br><br> <br>The two emotional men have had a lot of spats over the years, but their biggest falling out came when they both showed interest in Jean Grey . Even if Wolverine has begrudgingly accepted Scott's authority, some of the best X-Men storylines have spawned from the complicated love triangle. More recent comics have implied an open nature to their relationships, but the animosity still sizzles under the surf<br><br> <br>Emma Frost's powerful telepathy enables her to explore a romantic and forbidden love with Cyclops.

Xavier and Magneto, more firmly established as respective leaders of the X-Men and the Brotherhood, would be faced with the horrific reality of the world their conflict would create.
