This makes sense. Feige worked on the original X-Men and people complained back then they didn't like how they handled Storm, Kitty, Rogue, and even Jean when she turned Phoenix.

I actually don’t hate the female centered projects idea, as long as the male mutants also get time to shine
Erik Danielson
No, he’s saying they want to highlight other “lesser known” villains who haven’t gotten to big screen treatment. The Fox movies kind of overused Magneto and I think the MCU wants to set themselves apart

Is this gonna be another ‘men relegated to background girl power piece for ESG points’ flick or something written in service of the story? I don’t mind the women being featured as long as it makes sense & is in service of the characters.

Wait so you are saying magneto won’t be in the X-men reboot at all

I like it.

Good choice, using a villian that hasn't been involved in live action. Give it a rest and build up to Magneto. I hope we get the same treatment with Doom.

Do you know when the X-Men stories might start in the movies?

I don't mind this at all... but I need Cyclops to get some respect in the mcu

Have they met with writers for other projects earlier than X-Men already then, like Young Avengers?

I mean Sinister sounds like a great villain given all the recent (and old) comics, assuming they don't want to retread Magneto.
