Personally I'd love to see an arc that starts with the Uncanny line-up / stories, but with Xavier and the X-Men undergoing a multi-film arc that leads to an adaptation of Dawn of X.
**What runs do y'all want the Mutant Saga to follow?**
Notoriously_So2025-10-23 11:50
Mister Sinister as the main villain and the Essex corporation. Don't retread what the Fox movies have already done right away.
bloodyell762025-10-25 10:44
So does this start with the Mmutant Massacre or is he barely mentioned in a film that introduces the Morlocks, only to make the massacre the second film?
Notoriously_So2025-10-25 13:43
Morlocks first, but not just a cameo for Sinister, he should play a major part. There should be multiple villains with their own agenda in this.
a_o2025-10-23 12:22
I really hope they dont call it the mutant saga
I think if they do go 5 seasons on x-men 97, in addition to the original series 5 seasons being canon to that one, they’ll have to come up with original stories for the films (and hopefully live action tv series) that adapt the comics to an even lesser degree than we’ve seen in the mcu so far.
Puzzled_Influence9852025-10-23 12:26
I don't think Marvel will be too concerned about storyline re-use or overlap. I mean we're about to get another rampaging Hulk storyline very close to BNW, and most general audiences won't be aware of / watching the 97 show, as good as it has been.
Puzzled_Influence9852025-10-23 12:27
Fair point on the Mutant Saga, I was just using it to describe the upcoming X-Men focused Phases. Maybe they'll move away from naming these Sagas to avoid hard-committing to long storylines.
a_o2025-10-23 12:31
fully developed and realized year-long arcs should be about the end of it i think. Like, pull something impressive off in short order (one or two movies in may or july and another in fall or near christmas, plus maybe 4 hours of tv in the summer) and carry the top-level stuff from that which people find memorable over to an arc that spans a longer period of time and pays off as if it were an infinity war/endgame.
whyspezdumb2025-10-24 03:02
Do they have to? Brand New Day looks like a different rendition of the Friendly Neighborhood cartoon.
No_Imagination_24902025-10-23 12:53
The MCU's X-Men films won't be straight adapations of any particular comic runs - the MCU has never done that. They'll be mash-ups of storylines and themes from across the comics canon since the 60s.
That being said, I'd love it if the introduction of the mutants was something similar to the start of HoX/PoX with Prof X telling the entire human race - 'Humans of the planet Earth - while you slept, the world changed'.
lanwopc2025-10-23 13:09
Send them to the Savage Land or space or Murderworld.
Big_Epsilon2025-10-23 13:13
I want House of M, X-Men vs Avengers, and I’d like them to use this to spark a longer Civil War arc.
Not read enough X-Men specific stuff, but I want Bishop to be a big character. I know little of the full arc of his character, but I think doing that properly could be a challenge for the MCU.
theshizzler2025-10-23 22:06
I love Bishop, but I really want them to veer away from alternate timelines and multi-dimensional stuff for a phase or three.
marvelcomics222025-10-23 13:20
I get that the mutants will be a large part of the future, but calling it the 'Mutant Saga', when we know two, at most three, movies that are a part of it, X-Men, Black Panther III, and Blade, only one of which is mutant adjacent, feels wrong. It's not going to be the X-Men cinematic universe, so calling it the Mutant Saga is probably not what they're going to do.
Techno_Core2025-10-23 13:27
The Brood! Followed by Pirate Kitty.
DJnotaRealDJ2025-10-24 11:19
A horror movie with the brood could be cool
N8CCRG2025-10-23 13:53
Maybe a hot take but none. Trying to "follow" the comics always leads to anger and noise when it invariably deviates in some way.
The MCU is just another new run with new stories of classic characters, and many in the fandom will enjoy it more once they learn to treat it as such. It's an adaptation, not a reproduction.
eBICgamer20102025-10-23 14:06
But that would also defeats the purpose of having a Marvel studio itself to manage these characters and their stories. This is the very practice that got both Fox and Sony into trouble: making original screenplays only to pass it as Marvel.
What's the point of Marvel Studios when the thing they do in an adaptation is writing OCs? Just liquidate the studio and do some shitty fanfic instead under the Disney/Pixar/20CS/Lucasfilms/Searchlight names and slap the Marvel character on it.
jpiro2025-10-23 15:11
To me, the point would be that the new storylines aren't "shitty fan fic" and actually stay true to the characters and themes of the comics while taking them in new, interesting directions.
Limiting the MCU to only recreating existing source material seems unnecessary to me.
eBICgamer20102025-10-23 15:42
If the last 30 years of Marvel on the big screen is anything, both things can be true.
I'm frankly embarrassed if someone was mad enough to leave No Way Home as it really was true to the source material. No one yearns for a comic accurate One More Day, it just shits on the character and everything that character stood for while insulting the readers who grew up with him.
But at the same time some stories needs to be true to what they are. I don't want Marvel to wash away the anti-fascist, revolutionary themes inside the new Ultimates book, if we ever get to it. Some stories are inherently too good and radical to be done differently.
a_o2025-10-23 19:14
OMD seems like a function of the sliding timescale like, he’s gotta stay this age forever basically to get new readers on board
PornFilterRefugee2025-10-23 14:17
Just no Dark Phoenix. Beyond that I’m not fussed.
I do hope they lean more into the political aspect of the X Men though rather than just ‘oh an evil mutant is here’
Burnbrook2025-10-23 14:28
Start with the original team being sent to Krakoa only to lose contact. Have the second film bring in a new team to rescue them.
Responsible-Pain-6202025-10-23 14:33
I know it's an unpopular opinion but I would love if the MCU X-men started with an E is for Extinction storyline.
the_doughboy2025-10-23 14:40
I would love House of M, Scarlet Witch needs more Wandavision like scenes, instead of a small town, the entire world...
BlameTheNargles2025-10-24 05:47
I feel like House of M could be another Infinity War level 'good guys losing' impact moment that could draw a lot of crowds for a part 2 style endgame conclusion.
steeleleets2025-10-23 14:54
My dream *X-Men* saga would merge elements from iconic comic arcs into a single epic narrative. It begins with *Krakoa: Mutant Massacre Reborn*, where Mr. Sinister uses Celestial technology loaned by Apocalypse to enslave Krakoa and abduct mutants for experimentation. When the X-Men’s first rescue fails, Professor X assembles a new team of lesser-known heroes who liberate the island and turn it into a mutant sanctuary, sparking a geopolitical crisis with nearby Genosha. In *God Loves, Man Kills*, Genosha’s leaders, Reverend Stryker, Bolivar Trask, and their allies Cameron Hodge and Donald Pierce, use Sinister’s technology to create Sentinels, Magistrates, and Reavers, transforming Genosha into an apartheid state. The X-Men lead an uprising against their forces, drawing the wrath of Magneto.
In *Fatal Attractions*, Magneto emerges as a revolutionary cult leader after Genosha’s downfall, leading terrorist campaigns from Asteroid M and planning a global EMP to eradicate humanity. The X-Men’s assault culminates in Wolverine losing his adamantium and Magneto’s mind being wiped by Xavier. As the asteroid collapses, Jean Grey awakens the Phoenix Force to save everyone. The disaster leaves both Xavier and Magneto missing, hinting at a future *Onslaught* storyline. *The Rise of Apocalypse* follows, as Apocalypse is revived by the lingering Phoenix energy. He recruits the wounded and disillusioned to become his new Horsemen—Storm, Gambit, Rogue, Wolverine, and others, and captures twelve Omega mutants to ascend as a neo-Celestial god. Jean uses the Phoenix Force to purge his corruption, redeeming the fallen but exhausting her own power.
The finale, *Judgment Day*, blends *AXE: Judgment Day* and *The Dark Phoenix Saga*, as the awakening of the Phoenix and defeat of Apocalypse draw the attention of the Shi’ar Empire and the Celestial Host. These cosmic forces arrive to judge humanity and mutantkind alike, leading to a climactic battle between the Phoenix and the Celestials for the fate of Earth itself, bringing the saga full circle, from genetic evolution to divine reckoning.
rocka54382025-10-23 16:01
bit early for krakoa, maybe pre mutant paradise genosha. bring in mr sinister, bastion, and the Shi'ar empire, for some more space worldbuilding. + some nice rifts with the more arsehole-y avengers for civil war 2

Genosha.
Explore the concept of ethnonationalist states. Have some fucking balls.
myowngalactus2025-10-23 19:43
Not the 90s era for sure that was a mess. Can’t do the decimation or lost decade either, dark phoenix should obviously be out, so that leaves fall of the mutants era through outback era or Krakoa. There’s Morrison, who is one of the greats, but the rest of that line during that time wasn’t anything special, and would just be an exceptionally weird choice. Probably will be a hybrid of different eras. Hopefully they don’t draw inspiration from the first ultimate x-men. Whatever they do we know they are going to shoehorn Ms Marvel into it whether Ms Marvel or X-men fans want that.
Aggravating-Mix20942025-10-23 22:09
I finally want an appropriately terrifying Apocalypse arc that shows just how op and dangerous he is compared to all other mutants! I’m still bitter they got Oscar Isaac and then buried him under 20 lbs of prosthetics and gave him such a boring arc

New Mutants. It would be an interesting twist to see what Xavier’s dream would be like if his first team was the New Mutants instead of the O5.

House of M, a proper Age of Apocalypse, Onslaught

Shadow king saga… but i understand you have to streamline that
zerogamewhatsoever2025-10-25 07:32
Krakoa as an episodic dramatic series spread out over several seasons and featuring lesser known mutant characters, culminating in one or two films to end it all.
