X-Males ’97 is all the things we may’ve hoped from Marvel‘s first try at tackling the mutant group and extra. No joke, I simply wished to make that clear from the off. It’s genuine to each the unique ’90s animation and the spirit of the beloved model on the whole.
It’s even genuine to the spirit of some issues concerning the X-Males comics universe that we by no means thought can be made canon by the MCU. One other factor we by no means thought can be made canon by the MCU? Chris Evans’ return as Captain America. Nicely, that one may truly nonetheless be the case…
X-Males ’97 dares to canonize the one weirdest romance in mutant historical past
X-Males ’97 doesn’t shrimp on the jaw-dropping twists in its two-part premiere — even when one among them, that Magneto now leads the X-Males after Professor X’s dying, was spoiled within the trailer. Right here’s one which Marvel undoubtedly stored underneath its hat, although — the collection positive appears to be suggesting that Rogue and Magneto had a previous affair, one that will quickly be rekindled. This weird Might-December romance is definitely a factor within the comics — which, for the uninitiated, are filled with loopy cleaning soap opera developments like this — even when these accustomed to the movies have by no means as soon as shipped the characters performed by Anna Paquin and Ian McKellen.
Traditional Captain America could also be returning, however Chris Evans isn’t
Rejoice, Marvel players, as a result of this week introduced us a first-look reveal trailer for Marvel 1943: Rise of HYDRA. Returning to the form of wartime Captain America vibe of The First Avenger, the sport sees Steve Rogers group up with Black Panther — particularly, Azzuri, T’Challa’s grandfather. Truthfully, going by the storyline and the character designs, the sport may virtually be thought-about MCU canon. So many had been getting their hopes up that Chris Evans may reprise his position because the Sentinel of Liberty. Sadly, this isn’t the case — as any of Evans’ current feedback on his reluctance to return to Marvel may’ve instructed us. Hey, at the very least there’s at all times Secret Wars!
Is Aaron Taylor-Johnson going from Quicksilver to Kraven to 007?
Killing Quicksilver off after a single film again in 2015’s Avengers: Age of Ultron appeared like a dumb transfer on the time, and a giant snub for Kick-Ass star Aaron Taylor-Johnson, however in the long term perhaps it’s labored out the perfect for him. On prime of returning to the Marvel multiverse for Kraven the Hunter, Taylor-Johnson may also be free sufficient to safe himself probably the most coveted of all roles for a British actor — James Bond himself. That is what widespread rumors are saying, anyhoo, however don’t take the casting as reality simply but because it’s but to be reliably confirmed. Though ATJ seeking to bounce ship from the Sonyverse ASAP, after the mauling of Madame Net, can be a really sensible profession transfer. Let’s simply hope Evan Peters doesn’t steal his position once more like final time.
