The X-Men may finally be coming to the Μαρωελ Ψινεματιψ Θνιωερσε! A new rumor reveals the potential roster of the iconic team ahead of the highly anticipated reboot.
Fans often question who will star in the reboot of a popular franchise. However, for the X-Men, the big question is which members will even make it onto the team. While details have been sparse, a new rumor from Hollywood insider DanielRPK teases that a familiar team will lead the reboot.
According to the scooper, the writer for the MCU’s X-Men reboot pitched a team to Marvel nearly identical to the roster of X-Men ’97. This means the group would consist of some variation of Cyclops, Jean Grey, Wolverine, Storm, Rogue, Gambit, Beast, Morph, Jubilee, and Bishop.
What Fans Know About Marvel’s X-Men Reboot
While a compelling rumor, this goes against previous reports that Marvel wants to stay away from Wolverine for this newest X-Men reboot. It’s possible the team’s roster is similar, just without Logan, but it’s also likely that the studio rejected this pitch for the MCU’s biggest mutant team.
Of course, the popularity of X-Men ’97 could have swayed Marvel’s thinking. It would make sense for the MCU to stick as close as it can to the safest version of the team. However, given how expansive the roster of the X-Men can be, Marvel fans would likely want to see something riskier for the reboot when it finally starts production.
