Kevin Feige confirms that Marvel will eventually refonde the characters of Iron Man and X-Men

Boss of the Marvel Kevin Feige It has a long -term plan for the MCU, although some of the plans are simpler to perform others. Some include the intake of talented people to create big screen characters with inspiration from their comic book counterparts, but a plan includes the recast of some of the loved characters that we have lost along the way.

In a conversation with the press on Friday, Feige confirmed that, following the events of 2027 Avengers: Secret WarsThe company will refresh the superpotent mutants for its next X-Men film directed by Jake Schreier (Thunderbolts*).

Many of the actors who starred in X-Men The films of the 2000s and 2010 are taking up those roles in the next year Avengers: Doomsdayincluded Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn, James Marsden AND Kelsey Grammer. Stewart also played Charles Xavier in 2022 Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of MadnessAnd Grammer appeared as Hank McCoy in a post-Credit scene in 2023 Wonders.

In future films, however, the characters of X-Men who have appeared in previous films will be played by new actors, together with the mutants that make their debut on the big screen.

The decision echoes changes in the composition of the Marvel Comics after 2015 Secret wars The plot, which provided for more timing that collapses and reconvert, mixes the characters of the main Marvel temporal sequence in the process.

Feige said:

“We are using it [story] Not only to complete the stories we told post-endgame: “Equally important-and you can look at the” Secret Wars “comics for where you take you a lot for the future.” Endgame “, literally, concerned the finals.” Secret Wars “speaks of beginnings.”

Feige observed that the X-Men Comics, with their attention to the Xavier school for young people with young people, are naturally focused on stories about the characters of teenagers.

“They were a place to tell stories about young people who feel different and who feel others and who feel as if they don’t belong. This is the universal history of the mutants, and that’s where we are going.”

Even more intriguing, Feige also indicated that other Marvel characters will eventually be reported, including his most iconic roles, such as Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) and Steve Rogers (Chris Evans).

He has indicated many other important cinematographic franchises that have done the same thing, several times, such as James Bond and the recent success of DC, Superman.

Feige recognized that the stars who withdrawn their original MCU roles like Downey Jr. and Evans have made it difficult to imagine anyone else in the shoes of their characters. But it is not an impossible task.

“I think it’s difficult for anyone who does it when an actor played such an important role,” he said. “How they ever replace Sean Connery [as James Bond]Right?”

At least two Legacy actors could still appear still in the MCU. When asked about his plans for a Marvel Blockbuster follow-up Deadpool and Wolverine With Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, Feige, in a typical way, did not make definitive statements, but they have not closed any possibility.

“I think there is more fun to have with both those characters,” he said. “But we’ll see where.”
