As excited as I am for Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the characters with the most potential to shake the franchise to its very core likely won’t be introduced until Phase 5. I am, of course, talking about the X-Men — a group of mutants who are not only ostracized in the fiction of the comics, but have become a black sheep at the box office as well with a series of consecutive duds in recent years, culminating in the awful Dark Phoenix.
While the X-Men movies might have helped lay the groundwork upon which Marvel Studios would build its legacy, the quality of the series has fluctuated drastically in recent years. The ramifications of Disney’s acquisition of 21st Century Fox are far-reaching, but you won’t find many people complaining about the film rights to the X-Men changing hands. The X-Men desperately need a reboot… and Marvel just published the perfect blueprint.
