Something X-Men Related Is Coming Soon To Disney Plus

It’s going to be a long time before we see a proper MCU X-Men movie. While the full stable of mutants will eventually be part of the franchise, Marvel Studios have correctly decided that the property could use a rest. This will make The New Mutants the final entry in Fox’s X-Universe, so while we’ll see minor X-Men elements popping up here and there in the MCU, don’t expect an announcement anytime soon. But just because the MCU won’t be using the mutants, that doesn’t mean the IP is entirely dormant.

Venerable insider Jeremy Conrad seems to think there’s something on the cards that’ll be announced soon. The first inkling came when Disney+ added a bunch of X-Men account icons to the service. This led him to do some digging, and he’s now reporting that there’s some kind of announcement due. It’s pretty certain though that it won’t be a new live-action adaptation (TV or movie) or even a Disney+ digital release of The New Mutants.

The current thinking is that it may be that the platform will soon see some of the Fox X-Men movies added to the service. Disney+ has just launched in the UK and included X-Men: Days of Future Past in the launch lineup. The movie’s unavailable on the domestic version though, so at least some of them may be coming soon.

However, it’s unlikely that The New Mutants (which was supposed to hit cinemas tomorrow) will get a surprise launch on Disney+. Apparently, HBO has a long-standing deal for the rights to stream more recent X-Men movies like Josh Boone’s aforementioned pic and Dark Phoenix, which doesn’t expire until 2022. So, if it’s going to land anywhere, it’ll be there.

The other option might be that the full 90s X-Men animated series will soon hit Disney+. The creators of the show have been pitching a revival to the Mouse House, so putting the series up to gain some new fans would be a smart move. In addition, the account icons added are of the 90s X-Men designs, which could be a further hint that the cartoon is coming.

But right now nothing is certain. My bet is to expect some kind of announcement by the end of this week, though.

Looks like Fiege already got something X-men related cooking on the stove

We don't know for sure yet, but there are strong rumors that the 90s X-men series is getting revived. I can't even express how hyped I would be if that came back.

Wouldn't mind something live action either, but I would expect that to be saved for a movie.

I'm honestly tired of the X Men, I know that they are a gold mine and have a solid fanbase...but as a comic fan I'd love to see them grow New Mutants and the OG X Force into some sort of series both animated and movies.

As for the choices, I'd like to see live action New Mutant series.

We got it covered

edit Ah I see its from Jeremy Conrad could be some truth to this

Jeremy Conrad will sometimes have legit inside info, but he’ll also give predictions and opinions as if they’re facts, and when it turns out he’s wrong he’ll either delete the tweet and act like it didn’t happen or do some weird mental gymnastics type shyt where he twists his original false statement so that it somehow fits, and then he’ll throw a feminine fit when called out on it, dude is a dikkhead

The best way to spearhead X-Men lore into the MCU is to show how the shook cacs of the world try to develop their own Vibranium by introducing Adamantium.

So we'll be seeing this sometime in 2040 considering how this country is going.

I would usually be kind of skeptical, but Disney+ did recently add a bunch of X-men icons (based on the 90s designs) to the service.

Doesn't necessarily mean it's something new though. It could just be them putting some old X-men cartoons and/or movies on Disney+. But I'm hoping for something new.

Probably something animated. You won't see any MCU X-Men shyt until they appear in the movies

Well it wouldn't be adamantium, wouldn't it the offshoot.... adamantium is from extremely rare metorite correct?

This thread is only like 7 posts deep and I already wanna jam my switchblade in each of your ears.

Dr. Myron MacLain sought to create an indestructible alloy for the American side during World War II. At one point he fell asleep at his lab bench, and the metals he was working with somehow bonded together. This mysterious alloy--a combination of steel, Vibranium, and an unknown catalyst--created a material stronger than any yet known.
Adamantium

but
MacLain's later attempts to duplicate the material included a formula without Vibranium, which resulted in the creation of True Adamantium, which is almost as strong as Captain America's shield

I agree it'll probably be animated, but there's no reason animated shows can't tie into the MCU.

Like maybe certain future X-men will appear in the animated show before they appear in a movie. Arrowverse did something similar with Vixen IIRC. There was animated Vixen show that ran for a while, and then eventually the same character showed up in live action (on Arrow, I think).
