Kevin Feige Confirms that ‘Secret Wars’ Will Usher a New Era for the X-Men

As a long-time Marvel fan who has witnessed the rise and fall of the X-Men franchise over the years, I must say, the recent news about their imminent return to the big screen within the MCU is nothing short of exhilarating! From the days of Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen gracing our screens as Professor X and Magneto, to Hugh Jackman’s iconic portrayal of Wolverine, these characters have been a significant part of my childhood and adult life.


Ever since Disney’s purchase of Fox, there’s been a buzzing excitement about when the Mutants, notably the X-Men, will make their appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Fans can hardly contain their eagerness for these significant characters to officially join the MCU, an event that’s promised to be nothing short of spectacular.

Despite Deadpool and Wolverine contributing somewhat to the integration process, and although mutants have previously been featured in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it’s still a significant challenge.

Currently, there’s a lot of uncertainty surrounding the overall direction of this project, as it’s unclear what plans Feige and Marvel have in store for us. It’s certain that they intend to introduce the X-Men into the MCU, but the specifics of how they plan to do so are still shrouded in mystery. Additionally, it remains undecided whether Marvel will be casting new actors or if they will reprise roles from the past.

But, while there are still many question marks there, we are definitely getting some information here and there, and Kevin Feige has been especially active in that aspect, as he is the source of the latest X-Men-related news that we have.

It’s common knowledge that the X-Men are a significant element within the Marvel Universe. While the specifics about their future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) remain unknown, it’s clear that their introduction is approaching soon. There’s been a flurry of speculation, with rumors ranging from Hugh Jackman and Famke Janssen potentially reprising their roles more extensively, to Michael Fassbender being brought back as well as Marvel considering a fresh cast for these characters.

At present, these particular aspects remain a mystery, however, fresh insights concerning the impending X-Men premiere within the Marvel Cinematic Universe have recently surfaced.

In one of our more recent updates, you may recall that during an interview in Brazil (during D23), Feige hinted: “The enjoyable aspect this time is… now we have a clear idea of the main storyline leading up to Secret Wars, but also beyond… such as The X-Men.” (In simpler terms, he’s saying that they know what the story will be for Secret Wars and beyond, including The X-Men.)

I was thrilled to catch a glimpse of Kevin Feige at the recent Disney APAC Content Showcase held in Singapore. He shared some exciting insights about the upcoming projects, and here’s what he spilled about the X-Men:

In our upcoming films, you’ll notice that some familiar X-Men characters will continue to appear. Following this, the story of “Secret Wars” sets us on a path for a new era of mutants and the X-Men, which has been long anticipated. Essentially, it’s like a dream come true to have the X-Men back again.

Indeed, this aligns with Feige’s previous statements and we’re thrilled about it! The X-Men are set to take center stage during Marvel’s post-Secret Wars era, which promises an exciting turn of events. Admittedly, we have to be patient, but we’re confident that the upcoming movie will meet our expectations!
