Summary

Marvel Unites Mutants

Marvel's reboot will integrate X-Men mutants with the Avengers, Spider-Man and Fantastic Four, unlike Fox’s rights-split era.
The film will adopt an ensemble school-story format, cast younger, lesser-known actors, and use the multiverse to honor past X-Men in Doomsday and Secret Wars, contrasting Fox’s A-list approach.
Kevin Feige said Fox made more X-Men movies than Marvel’s Spider-Man or Fantastic Four franchises combined, with Michael Lesslie writing the script.
