The Marvel Cinematic Universe is treating the X-Men right! Kevin Feige speaks on the need to give Hugh Jackman his iconic yellow suit and his plans for the X-Men going forward.

Fans lost their minds when it was revealed that Hugh Jackman would be donning the comic-accurate yellow spandex for Deadpool and Wolverine. It seems Kevin Feige was happy with the decision too, calling it destiny that this was the film to finally give Jackman the suit fans always wanted.

“It felt almost like destiny,” Feige explained in a recent interview with Variety. “I’ve been at Marvel for over 20 years now. All those Fox characters were ones I’d never dreamed of having back purely under the fold of Marvel Studios.”

“Hugh Jackman having never appeared in the character’s most iconic suit is like being Superman in 10 movies and never wearing the Superman costume,” he continued. “It’s a testament to Wolverine that it didn’t necessarily matter; the character is more than the costume.”

It’s true that Hugh Jackman managed to channel the aura of Wolverine despite not ever wearing the proper suit. However, even Kevin Feige can admit that it’s long past time to give him the proper comic book treatment with his first appearance in the MCU. Yet, Wolverine isn’t the only mutant Feige has big plans for.

Kevin Feige Speaks On The MCU’s X-Men Plans

The question on everyone’s mind ever since the MCU got the rights to the X-Men was when is Kevin Feige giving Hugh Jackman his yellow suit? The second question was then what his plans were for the X-Men. While the producer played coy, he did reveal plans were already in motion

“I wouldn’t say when but we’ve already hinted over the past few years at certain people possessing what will one day be known as the mutant gene,” Feige explained. “We’ll be very excited when we tap into it.”

It’s true that Kevin Feige has been teasing the mutants in various MCU projects over the years. However, there’s still no official word on when an official reboot will be coming. Though with Deadpool and Wolverine serving as a swan song to the the Fox era of the X-Men, it’s likely happening sooner rather than later!

Deadpool and Wolverine is currently expected to be released on July 26, 2024. Stay tuned for the latest news regarding the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel for more content!
