DeMayo just lately opened up a (now closed) Q&A session to followers, and, due to Collider, there’s a transcription of the trade. When a fan requested, level clean, if “X-Males ’97” could be folded into the extant live-action MCU, DeMayo was blunt, saying: “We’re our personal factor.”
Notice that interconnectivity has lengthy been the raison d’être of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Single chapters/movies did not matter as a lot as their connection to later chapters/movies. Each character introduction was a promise that extra of that character could be seen in future films, and each incomplete plot level was accepted as a setup for a future payoff. Certainly, one may posit that lots of the single movies within the Marvel Cinematic Universe would not have been value seeing had they not been straight related to different movies; it is potential that few would have seen Kenneth Branagh’s “Thor” again in 2011 if it hadn’t already been introduced that he was to seem in “The Avengers,” due the next yr.
Because of the TV collection “Loki,” to “Spider-Man: No Means House,” and to Sam Raimi’s “Physician Unusual within the Multiverse of Insanity” (the movie that featured Patrick Stewart as a live-action model of the animated Professor X from 1992), it has been established that the MCU has near-infinite parallel timelines. Now each model of each hero — no matter studio possession — will be capable to work together with the entire others.
Some assumed the “infinite timeline” setup of these movies would retroactively incorporate the previous “X-Males” collection into the fold. Because it so occurs, that’s not so. The MCU will proceed to contract, and DeMayo will make his personal collection, unconcerned with its future.
Frankly, this can be a good factor.
