Quantumania is also now the lowest-ranked MCU movie according to critics on Rotten Tomatoes .

Meanwhile, it's interesting to note that Vaughn potentially sets up a far more comic-book-accurate version of the story, with both a younger Wolverine and presumably another version of Cyclops in the team. Given the increasing scale of Vaughn's overarching narrative, X-Men: Dark Phoenix would probably have gone into the full cosmic scale of the legendary "Dark Phoenix Sag<br><br> <br>Vaughn has stressed that Fox largely kept to his original script for X-Men: Days of Future Past , albeit switching around a couple of secondary characters - notably substituting Quicksilver in the place of Juggernaut , who he had imagined being involved in breaking Magneto out of prison. And yet, for all the script would have been mostly the same, it's hard not to see Vaughn's original plan as a better one. The key is in terms of pacing, with a gradual increase in the stakes; the impending conflict between man and mutant would have been neatly signposted in the second film, and there would have been a clear narrative throughline, with Magneto involved in the Kennedy assassination and imprisoned for it in the third installment. This also would have subtly rewritten Mystique's role, in that she'd essentially have become more of a Magneto loyalist, continuing his mission of assassinating high-profile political thre<br><br> <br>Most interestingly, X-Men: Days of Future Past would have involved interactions between two different incarnations of the X-Men. 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. It's possible the two Wolverines would come mind-to-mind, in a similar scene to the one in which James McAvoy's Charles Xavier met his future self, played by Patrick Stew<br><br> <br>Matt Murdock and Elektra Natachios originally met while they were students at Columbia University and shared a brief romance.

And yet, Vaughn's way of doing it is probably the best. Fox would have introduced their new Wolverine before Hugh Jackman had bowed out, in much the same way Patrick Stewart was willing to reprise the role a couple of times after X-Men: First Class . A meeting between the two Wolverines in X-Men: Days of Future Past would have felt like the passing of the torch, from one iteration to the n<br>
