AVENGERS: ENDGAME Co-Director Joe Russo Comments On Reports He And Anthony Are In Talks For MCU Return

I hope it's X-Men. Original 5 vs Trask and the Sentinels.

I want them to direct Gambit and Multiple Man.

When the Russo bros said they were having second thought on working with marvel...

That's when disney knew...

They f@#$Ed up!

I know saying a trillion dollar company is a bit of a hyperbole, Amazon does way more than streaming, but Netflix is still very large at $225bn, and these valuations lead me to one question.

If these streaming services have such high valuations, why do their streaming movies all look so terrible?

A handful of them have been really great, but as a whole the quality is really lacking. Netflix is releasing one new movie a week as part of their current content strategy - how many of these have really been worth watching?

Definitely directors I'd trust to usher the X-Men into the MCU. With that being said, I wouldn't mind them doing a Dark Avengers project either.

I honestly think that at this point, considering the Russos' production of Infinity War and, more importantly (BO -wise anyway), End Game, Marvel wouldn't bring them back in for anything less than a major epic like Secret Wars. Mainly because with IW/EG they proved that they cane handle it, and handle it well (which a lot of other directors can't do (giving the side-eye over in DC's direction)). With that in mind, for as much as I would love to see them take on some X-Projects, I really see it going to someone who is relatively new and unknown but who has proven themselves with just a couple of good films that show that they get the X-Men (kinda like Chloe Zhao).

And as far as the first X-Men movie goes, I have a couple of thoughts:

(1) They are definitely going to build up to it. Marvel is very good at planting the seeds for things to come later on (Infinity Saga anyone?). So expect to see the X-Characters introduced slowly before building up to the actual X-Men movie (or whatever they're going to call it by that point. Who knows, by that time societal norms may have come full circle where we're totally embracing the male machismo and they'll be called the "Ultimate X-MEN!"). Seriously, I fully expect characters like Xavier and Logan to show up somewhere before the actual X-Whatever movie.
(2) When they finally do an actual X-Men movie (with point (1) above in mind, remember that the more time/distance that they put between themselves and the FoX-Men the better) it will be the original 5 and Magneto won't be the main bad guy in the beginning. He might be around but I don't think that Marvel is going to go down that well-trodden road again for a while. Keep in mind, folks, that X-Men is Kevin Feige's passion project. He's been (probably literally) laying awake at nights for years in his X-Men Underoos, in his X-Men sheets staring at the X-Men poster on his ceiling (the Jim Lee X-Men #1 covers from 1991 (which I have a couple of ;)) I'm guessing) and planning out the absolute most awesome way to introduce our merry band of mutants. I have no doubt. We all just have to be patient. But I have a feeling that when we finally first see the X-Men "assemble" it will be like that moment in Avengers (which still to this day takes my breath away).
