James McAvoy Says an Avengers vs. X-Men Battle Would End in Minutes: “They’d all be taking their clothes off”

As a long-time fan who has witnessed the evolution of both the X-Men and the Avengers, I must admit that James McAvoy’s assessment of a hypothetical cage match between these two titans of the Marvel Universe seems a tad too optimistic for my taste. While it’s true that the X-Men have a numerical advantage, underestimating the strategic prowess and individual power of each Avenger would be a grave mistake.


The long-awaited collaboration between Deadpool and Wolverine marks the beginning of the mutant phase within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), as alluded to by Feige prior to its premiere. Our speculation leans towards a potential confrontation between mutants and the Avengers, potentially culminating in an awe-inspiring battle featuring some of the most formidable characters in the cosmos.

As the live-action reboot of the X-Men and the new Avengers team configuration approach, the possibility of a clash between these two groups has become more tantalizing than ever. Actor James McAvoy, who played Professor X in the Fox X-Men series, recently offered some captivating insights on this subject.

When McAvoy was queryed about a hypothetical cage fight between the X-Men and Avengers, he humorously predicted that it wouldn’t last long because of certain clever strategies he envisioned.

There are approximately 40 individuals in our group, and about 5 of them possess unique abilities. One is a hybrid being, half-human, half-robot; shutting down the power renders him inoperative. Another is a muscular character equipped with a shield. Now, who’s the third one? Is it the one armed with a bow and arrow? We have guns and equipment at our disposal, but he has retractable claws, like Wolverine. With a simple command such as “sit down,” they would comply. I could say “have a cup of tea” and they’d all be enjoying a cuppa. If I told them to remove their clothes, they’d oblige, creating quite the chaos. It would indeed be a chaotic situation.

As a long-time Marvel fan, having grown up reading the comics and watching the movies, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and sadness at the prospect of an Avengers vs X-Men scenario. James McAvoy’s explanation of the epic battle between these two iconic teams truly resonated with me, especially since I have always been partial to characters like Deadpool and Wolverine.

While McAvoy’s simple perspective on the confrontation seems reasonable in principle, many viewers find it hard to believe that it would be as easy as he suggests.
