Re: Possible X-Men Reboot, and the future of other Mutant films
I've said it before, but to be honest...I'd rather Marvel NOT recapture the X-Men at this point.
To me, the X-men work best in their own little pocket universe. They don't really need to be in the MCU, especially with the Inhumans, who are -- in my opinion -- way more interesting.
The other problem with having X-men in your films is that there's always a very, very strong temptation to turn the whole thing into "The Wolverine Show." I loved Wolverine when I was 13. I thought he was the coolest character ever. But I'm over him and his grimdarkness. There's a place for that, but "Front and center in every story" is not it. The more recent films have moved away from it somewhat, but now they're moving back to it with Logan and before it with Days of Future Past (which I quite enjoyed, but still recognize as heading in the wrong direction of Wolvie is the star).
