Kevin Feige s Marvel Movie Record Called Into Question After String Of MCU Failures By Bob Iger s Disney Investor Rival

Battling against the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants' leader on innumerable occasions, things hit their lowest point between Wolverine and Magneto when the latter used his powers to completely remove Logan's bones. Magneto has been a villain, and he has been a sympathetic character as well, but Wolverine has never been too eager to team


The reality is that Matthew Vaughn's X-Men plan would have taken the franchise in a very different direction - and a far more preferable one. It's true that there were risks. It's entirely possible viewers wouldn't have taken to a recast Wolverine, for example, particularly given that character isn't supposed to age. And yet, there'd have been an undeniable sense of momentum, with the stakes continually increasing; character arcs would have been far more organic, with Xavier and Magneto developing in logical and consistent ways, while Jean Grey's Dark Phoenix turn would have carried a greater impact. Fox had their own visionary, but they chose to ignore him, opting for the short-term win inst

Viewers would certainly have developed a far stronger rapport with the new Jean Grey, meaning her fall from grace would have had a great deal more emotional power. Meanwhile, it's interesting to note that Vaughn potentially sets up a far more comic-book-accurate version of the story, with both a younger Wolverine and presumably another version of Cyclops in the team. Given the increasing scale of Vaughn's overarching narrative, X-Men: Dark Phoenix would probably have gone into the full cosmic scale of the legendary "Dark Phoenix Sag


Finally, Vaughn's plans would have resulted in a very different version of X-Men: Dark Phoenix . It sounds as though he planned to build up to this story over the course of three films, probably introducing a new version of Jean Grey in his second film, and featuring her in a significant secondary role in X-Men: Days of Future Past . Indeed, it's possible the early manifestation of Jean's Phoenix powers could have been a side-effect of the time travel; perhaps she'd have psychically probed the mind of the time traveling Wolverine, and learned her f

Nelson Peltz, an investor interested in winning some board seats at Disney, recently called Kevin Feige's ability to run the MCU into question. These comments come after the recent box office disappointment of The Marvels , and a largely disappointing 2023 for Marvel Studios and its parent company Disney. While there are some concerns that can be raised about the current state of the MCU, it is also worth noting that these statements come from an ally of the controversial ex-Marvel executive, Ike Perlmutt


Wolverine has had his run-ins with authority figures in the past, and it is a bit of an understatement to say that he doesn't like to be told what to do. This chafing against authority brought him in direct conflict with Cyclops, but their rivalry goes so much deeper than a clash over hierar


The MCU has been facing some issues lately; 2023 saw two major box office disappointments in the form of The Marvels and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania . Quantumania is also now the lowest-ranked MCU movie according to critics on Rotten Tomatoes . The Disney+ series, Secret Invasion , also earned a very low Rotten Tomatoes score and drew criticism for its use of AI. On top of this, Jonathan Majors, who was set up as Marvel's new main villain, was convicted of assault and harassment and subsequently fired from the

Daredevil is notably a champion of justice, but he forgoes his duty and kisses Elektra instead. This signifies that his former, and potentially future, romance with Elektra outweighs his commitment to vigilantism . Comic enthusiasts were captivated by Frank Miller's 1981 introduction of Elektra and her initial arc is still considered one of the most renowned in the entire Daredevil cata


Vaughn imagined the stories gradually building in scale, with X-Men: Days of Future Past as the third chapter in his series, rebooting the timeline ahead of a new version of the Dark Phoenix Saga . In his view, audiences needed time to bond with Jean Grey as a character ahead of her fall. " It’s arguably the biggest slg game story guide in X-Men, " he told Polygon . Unfortunately, Fox execs were impressed by Vaughn's draft of X-Men: Days of Future Past , and decided to jump straight to that. Discouraged, Vaughn moved on, although he seems to have been pleased with how director Bryan Singer and writer Simon Kinberg treated his st
