X-Men: Adam Driver’s Mister Sinister Can Fix the MCU’s Jean Grey Problem

But then why try (and fail) so hard to redeem her?

I'd put 0 chance of that. They wouldn't waste her intro in a 2 billion dollar movie only to not actually intro her.

Let's not forget that Madelyne was redeemed in just one episode of X-Men: 97 after being evil for the majority of it.

Asa Germann has been cast as Angel.

Has Iceman ever been Asian before?

*ToTheNines* · 11-02-2026, 04:01 PM

Gay and Chinese. Hell yeah dude.

Hm... That reminds me, I did once find quite a few pieces of shipping fan art of of Hun and Casey Jones from the 2012 TMNT cartoon.

Marvel really needs to keep the core cast as they are in the comics. Nobody wants Asian iceman that would be weird.

I would say, “I’m out,” but I’ve been past that point for a long time.

*Andrew NDB* · 11-02-2026, 07:19 PM

I still think everything rides on what they do with Magneto. That will tell us everything we need to know about the movie with what they do there.

Mad Dog McMutt · 11-02-2026, 08:25 PM

I wonder if there will be a new actor to play as Wolverine or if they'll just not use him this time.

Probably not in this one, or just some sort of tease. Remember, it has to be someone quite younger or it'll be weird if he's flirting with Sadie Sink.

*CyberCubed* · 11-02-2026, 09:02 PM

Wolverine won't come till a few sequels later. And that's for the best, they need to focus on the core X-men like Cyclops, Jean, Beast, Rogue, etc. before it becomes "The Wolverine show" again. Once Wolverine gets introduced he steals the spotlight from all the other characters.

I honestly hope we can go 2-3 main films without casting someone. They can still use Hugh Jackman for Avengers films on the side so he doesn't interfere with main X-men films till they cast a new younger Wolverine.

**Barkworm** · 11-03-2026, 02:07 AM

Denzel Magneto is still the only thing that could have made this interesting for me.

*ToTheNines* · 11-03-2026, 04:12 AM

What if Magneto was a Black Hebrew Israelite?

*ranger_scout* · 11-03-2026, 07:21 AM

Channing Tatum is not expected to return as Gambit in the movie. They are looking for a younger actor who is around the same age as the actress who will be playing Rogue.

Obviously. That would be super creepy.

Like Jackman's "Multiversal Wolverine," Tatum's "Multiversal Gambit" probably will pop up in big things like Avengers movies and such, though.

Lecturing us about the evils of American racism? No way. This would be D.O.A..

**Barkworm** · 11-03-2026, 01:33 PM

Haha, right because in a movie you only want to hear about the evil of racism in other countries. You don‘t want to be taken out of your comfort zone when you paid for a ticket!

On the other hand, it‘s just a popcorn flick so you‘ve got a bit of a point.

Not when:

1) That's not representative of the source material.

and

2) Mimics the waves of current social justice/leftist ideology.

I mean, a "Door #3" option might be instead of using Nazis and Poland and jews and all that, they just make some fictional country where a similar kind of holocaust happened a few decades ago. That'd be fine.

Even non-popcorn movies lecturing about racism are bombing. Everybody is sick and tired of that kind of messaging and yes, they're ready to be entertained again.
