What do you think of the X-Men characters/actors they picked for Doomsday and do you think they will use them properly?

Professor X, Gambit, Magneto, Nightcrawler, Mystique, Beast and Cyclops. Do you think these are good choices for Doomsday to represent the X-Men/Brotherhood? I think it's a decent selection considering how legendary Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan are but to have Gambit for a second outing as well as Mystique considering how good Rebecca Romijn was. Not to mention we see Kelsey as Beast again, I thought he looked good in the Marvels. Seeing James Mardsen back as Cyclops again is awesome as well. Tbh Alan Cummings was a surprise but I thought he did very well as Nightcrawler. I was sad he never apppeared in X3.

The only two I'd have loved to have seen was Halle Berry as Storm and Famke Jenssen as Jean. I had hoped the rumors were true of Phoenix vs Scarlet Witch but the movie will be good never the less. This will probably be the last time we see this cast and I'm glad Marvel are giving them a good send off.

They’re all going to die by Doom.

Currycel78912025-12-07 01:18

Not by Doom.

Maybe it's an Avengers vs X-Men situation and they bring back Scarlet Witch for "no more Mutants"?

FX1142025-12-07 01:29

Going from no mutants to no mutants isn't exactly a dramatic event.

BambooSound2025-12-07 01:51

They'll change it from "no more mutants" to "no, more mutants!"

Currycel78912025-12-07 02:24

That wouldn't make any sense.

Edboy7962025-12-07 16:33

That's the point my guy. Isn't there something like a mutant saga coming after Secret Wars or something?

If they went through all the trouble of buying Fox for the rights to X-Men and other characters to be in the MCU, why would they introduce them, tease them here and there, and then all of a sudden go, "screw it no more mutants in the MCU" ?

Currycel78912025-12-07 19:19

Doomsday is a final sendoff to the FOX X-Men. It's also a great way to give Olsen that fanservice line right now and get it over with.

An actual, faithful adaptation of House of M would NEVER work.

Edboy7962025-12-07 20:22

Fox X-Men, sure.

That doesn't mean they can't have a whole new cast of mutants.

And the films and comics haven't been 100% 1:1 so I don't expect Marvel to adapt a story faithfully. Didn't you first mention Scarlet Witch doing a House of M style "no more mutants" thing as you put it?

Currycel78912025-12-07 02:26

It's a full-scale war between the Avengers and Mutants, and Scarlet Witch INSTANTLY WINS it for the Avengers by deploying that phrase.

FreeStall422025-12-07 11:37

Bring mutants in just to do one of the weakest story excuses to get rid of them

Would be funny

Currycel78912025-12-07 12:34

Don't worry. That universe has it's own Wanda variant working for Magneto and Doom.

She mindhacks Sentry, so he goes BERSERK and KILLS Scarlet Witch right there- and this undoes the spell immediately.

Sentry goes on a rampage and wipes out many Avengers, Mordo aligns with the Brotherhood of Mutants (+ Maestro, Killmonger, etc) and they retreat in a Raft.

Variant Wanda and Doom invade the TVA with a massive horde of Ultron-Doombots.

funnybillypro2025-12-07 23:32

If they waste that moment on this shit, I will be \*pissed\*.

Currycel78912025-12-07 23:41

They won't. Sentry will go berserk and kill her right after she says it.

FewWatermelonlesson02025-12-07 00:33

No Storm or Jean is very strange, especially when they had larger roles in the franchise than Nightcrawler (who, don’t get me wrong, I’m glad to have back) and certainly Gambit.

Lenonn2025-12-07 00:38

Well, we don't know everyone who will be in *Secret Wars* yet. So I'm taking a wait and see approach - datr we see some of the mutants who don't appear in *Doomsday*?

GodFlintstone2025-12-07 15:05

I think they're both in it. They've been vehement that they aren't but I think that's just disinformation. Remember when Tobey MacGuire and Andrew Garfield were denying that they were in No Way Home.

UnpluggedZombie2025-12-07 00:36

Zero faith in marvel at this point. I have a feeling a big reset is gonna happen and they are just gonna reboot every franchise

ogrezilla2025-12-07 02:28

I think they need something like that. Trying to fit X-Men and mutants in general into the current mcu is going to be a mess.

MC_chrome2025-12-07 02:35

Mutants aren't all that different from characters like Hulk or Mantis, right? Not sure why they wouldn't fit in

ogrezilla2025-12-07 02:38

the problem is where theyve been. The relationship of mutants and typical humans would be very different if they just show up one day. The whole thing is that they are your neighbors, daughters, sisters, etc. So they can't just show up. And it seems hard to pretend they've been there the whole time, if so what were they doing?

CaptHayfever2025-12-07 21:32

They've *already started* introducing mutants into the MCU even *without* merging other timelines: Ms. Marvel, Namor, & Mr. Immortal.

Hi_Im_Dadbot2025-12-07 00:40

I think they’ll be good if they all die in the first half hour. They bring in the characters we know so we care about the universe and have an emotional reaction when that universe explodes. If they’re a major focus of the film, though, I’m skeptical.

SpringMaleficent96992025-12-07 01:07

Idk. Im skeptical. Jean and Storm were large parts of the Fox X films (as they should). Not having them included kind of cheapens it for me I won’t lie.

Gambits appearance, I’m not expecting anything great from Tatum. He did well in D&W but he was kind of a walking punchline in what amounts to an action comedy. The question is can he do the character justice in a more serious/ dramatic role. My fear is they give gambit the same treatment they did Thor in love and thunder

Edit: to be clear I am excited to see the rest of the X-men return and think they will be great

CaptHayfever2025-12-07 21:29

Tatum was going to *direct* the Gambit solo film. He cares very deeply about the character. I'm sure he could give him the proper gravitas in a movie that isn't intentionally a comedy.

Unlucky_Ad97432025-12-07 01:11

Well,Patrick as CX is amazing and same with Ian,but i feel like they close their arc perfectly in DOFP,Storm,phoenix and Cyclops,on the other hand,always lived below the shadow of Wolverine,and i think this was the perfect chance to use the 10-year timeskip and create a story where Storm and Jean become the owners of charle's mansion and Cyclops the natural leader of the X-Men,you know...fix the major problem of these early Kevin Feige's productions and finally give all of them a solid closure,damn,my lifelong dream was they interact with tobey's spider man before past the torch to the new cast (as well tobey finally sacrifing himself and Tom's Peter become the ultimate spider man) but instead they still commit the same mistakes of the trilogy bringing mystique back as a core character,i mean,no hate but she isn't a really,really relevant character

blokedog2025-12-07 01:13

My guess is they will get wiped out. Then they'll be recast during or after Secret Wars.

ImjustANewSneaker2025-12-07 02:18

Not having the two biggest women in the franchise (and really three I guess because no JLaw) is crazy to me. Especially if they weren’t asked at all.

CaptHayfever2025-12-07 21:28

Berry & JLaw would've said no, & everyone knows it.
Janssen is the surprise.

ogrezilla2025-12-07 02:26

I wish the MCU had nothing to do with fox. Just do a fresh start

Riley__642025-12-07 04:59

I don’t understand the whole idea many fans have that the x-men exist to be cannon fodder.

I think these movies are going to act as the last big hurrah for these characters before they return to their original universe and bring in the MCU original x-men.

No way home didn’t bring in Tobey and Andrew to be cannon fodder so why would this be any different. They’ll get brought in to help further the story and showcase that doom is in fact capable of destroying a universe but by the end of secret wars their universe will be restored and they’ll return home, their story won’t end with them dying but instead leaving it up to a mystery what they get up to when they return home.

Exactly like Tobey and Andrew we learn about what’s happened to them since they were last on screen and the movie ends letting us know that even though we don’t see it they’re still being the heroes we grew up with.

Currycel78912025-12-07 19:20

You think they'll survive, and their universes will be restored at the end of Secret Wars? That happened in the comics, but for the MCU they implied that all non-616 universe would be wiped out at the end of Secret Wars.

Riley__642025-12-07 19:21

Where have they implied that

CaptHayfever2025-12-07 21:30

Fans are making assumptions based on comic stories (which aren't always followed), or based on other fans' assumptions (which shouldn't be trusted), or based on "leaks" (which should be presumed to be lies until proven otherwise).

ITworksGuys2025-12-07 08:12

The MCU isn't going to want to be locked into casting decisions made over a decade ago by another company.

These characters are going to be recast, so this version of them is probably doomed

FreeStall422025-12-07 11:38

Only really interested in X-men 97

Don't really care for them being in the MCU....it's too late to care

Objective_Painting702025-12-07 13:52

Happy to see Tatum's Gambit in Doomsday. He will steal the show!

Crazy_Reader12342025-12-07 20:44

So do I need to watch Deadpool and Wolverine etc to watch doomsday? Very confused here

KasaiWolf0782025-12-07 21:26

No not really. Channing Tatum as Gambit was more an inside easter egg. He'll be the same character but you don't need to have seen it

guidethyhandd2025-12-07 21:30

They’ll be recast, anyways I really wanna see Magik and Psylocke. Aside from comics they tend to be forgotten in X-men media for some reason and Magik in particular is individually one of the more interesting characters up there with Wolvie and Gambit.

atomcrafter2025-12-14 10:43

I'm expecting Utopia-era X-Men and Cyclops the Revolutionary. It all goes to Hell because Marsden is actually playing a Doombot made in the image of Scott Summers.
