desires the director of Deadpool for a potential X-Men film within the MCU, with a surprise factor involving Kevin Feige.
The X-Men have made appearances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) over the years, but they haven't had their own movie within the continuity yet. However, that's soon changing, with big plans brewing for the fan-favorite mutants. Director Tim Miller, known for bringing Deadpool to life, has shown excitement about leading an MCU X-Men project.
In 2016, Miller and his talented team brought Deadpool to life, leaving an impression on the superhero genre. Miller's enthusiasm for the MCU's X-Men movie is evident, as he shared his thoughts with The Hollywood Reporter and explained how he'd reached out for the coveted project.
Miller's potential involvement in an X-Men film excites many, even though some may remember his work on the 2019's Terminator: Dark Fate. But his work on Deadpool showcases his understanding of comic book thrills, and his background in visual effects could lead to incredible sequences in his film.
While Wade Wilson's adventures are more bombastic and violent, Miller's work on the animated series Love, Death & Robots gives confidence in his ability to create layered stories for the X-Men characters. He's also known for taking chances with storytelling.
Marvel Studios head honcho, Kevin Feige, has been sharing details about the X-Men joining the MCU. In November 2024, Feige hinted that the characters would indeed become power players before the end of the Multiverse Saga. This came true, as it was confirmed in March that multiple mutant characters would have roles in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday. Interestingly, these seem to be variants of the characters introduced in the original films, not newer incarnations.
As we wait for newer X-Men played by a fresh cast to appear in the MCU, it's intriguing to see Tim Miller's continued interest. Miller has even pitched an X-Men film, combining elements of Home Alone and Alien, featuring mutants battling N’Gari demons. While this concept may not materialize before Avengers: Secret Wars in 2027, Miller's creative vision and genre-bending approach have kept him as a strong candidate for the project.
