Main Middle Man shared on X: “Feige wanted a more grounded X-Men story with a plot that really focused on social issues and disagreements about what it means to be a mutant. He wanted a powerful dramatic movie that really showed what the X-Men were all about, with the Brotherhood of Mutants as the bad guys. But that’s not what Iger and Disney want. Aware of the poor performance of more restrained films (especially the disappointing box office results, like CA4 and Thunderbolts recently) the script has been requested to focus on an great event film to get a wider audience attention.”
The scooper added: “So, expect a MCU’s first X-Men movie being huge on events, focusing the Box Office, with more action and fan services. Ideological issues will carry on, but they will be less important than dealing with something bigger.”
