Vaughn imagined the stories gradually building in scale, with X-Men: Days of Future Past as the third chapter in his series, rebooting the timeline ahead of a new version of the Dark Phoenix Saga . In his view, audiences needed time to bond with Jean Grey as a character ahead of her fall. ” It’s arguably the biggest story in X-Men, ” he told Polygon . Unfortunately, Fox execs were impressed by Vaughn’s draft of X-Men: Days of Future Past , and decided to jump straight to that. Discouraged, Vaughn moved on, although he seems to have been pleased with how director Bryan Singer and writer Simon Kinberg treated his st
X-Men: First Class was a huge success, and back in 2011, Vaughn indicated that he wanted to continue the franchise by exploring the assassination of JFK . ” I thought it would be fun to open with the Kennedy Assassination, ” he explained to Hitfix , ” and we reveal that the magic bullet was controlled by Magneto. That would explain the physics of it, and we see that he’s pissed off because Kennedy took all the credit for saving the world and mutants weren’t even mentione
The truth is that Fox’s actual approach, which remained utterly dependent on Jackman, brought the Wolverine franchise to an end. Logan is Jackman’s swan song, and frankly, it’s hard to imagine how Fox could have recast at this point without it feeling like an insult to the character. Yet again, Fox had taken a short-term approach rather than planned ahead, and it had cost them; in this case, of course, they’ve been spared further problems by virtue of the Disney purchase , which means a full reboot of the X-Men franchise is in the wo

While probably not the most requested character to be included in Marvel Rivals, you’d be hard-pressed to find anybody who isn’t having a good time when they see Korg appear.

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
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
The X-Men franchise could potentially have rivaled the MCU if 20th Century Fox had followed Matthew Vaughn’s X-Men: First Class plans. There’s a strong sense in which the Marvel Rivals Events 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
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
