New ‘Avengers: Endgame’ Theory Explains How Thanos’ Snap Introduces The X-Men

X-Men Dark Phoenix Jennifer Lawrence Mystique Avengers: Endgame Mutants Thanos

Now that Disney’s acquisition of Fox is finally complete its only a matter of time before we see the mutants and the X-Men in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and one theory puts Thanos’ snap and the beginning of Avengers: Endgame at the center of it all.

The theory in question comes from one Reddit user u/rasenShurikeno who comes up with some interesting ideas as to how the X-Men might be introduced. At first, he talks about how there might be some kind awakening of the mutant gene that is caused by Thanos’ big snap in Avengers: Infinity War. According to this theory, the energy from Thanos’ snap is what causes the mutations to occur in the human body. This would come about from a quick shot in Avengers: Endgame which would lay the groundwork for future mutant films.

It then goes into a story involving the Eternals, justifying characters like Professor X, Magneto, Wolverine and other mutant’s long absence as well as a possible idea for a solo film. After the events of Avengers: Endgame, however, the mutants would come out of hiding in order to start helping the world.

In DARK PHOENIX, the X-MEN face their most formidable and powerful foe: one of their own, Jean Grey. During a rescue mission in space, Jean is nearly killed when she is hit by a mysterious cosmic force. Once she returns home, this force not only makes her infinitely more powerful, but far more unstable. Wrestling with this entity inside her, Jean unleashes her powers in ways she can neither comprehend nor contain. With Jean spiraling out of control, and hurting the ones she loves most, she begins to unravel the very fabric that holds the X-Men together. Now, with this family falling apart, they must find a way to unite — not only to save Jean’s soul, but to save our very planet from aliens who wish to weaponize this force and rule the galaxy.

Dark Phoenix is set to hit theaters on June 7, 2019.
