The Marvel (MCU) universe is gearing up for a major change whose main focus is the mutants (X-Men). Rather than giving them an official introduction, Marvel is choosing to take a "roundabout" path through new TV series. Among them, the Wonder Man series, which debuts at the end of January, is the first move to pave the way for the X-Men to join.
For those who don't know: X-Men (Dị Nhân) are Marvel Comics' superhero group consisting of naturally mutated individuals, using superpowers to protect the world even though society remains wary and prejudiced.
Before the X-Men joined the MCU, the X-Men film series lasted nearly 20 years produced by 20th Century Fox, not part of the Marvel Universe. After Disney acquired Fox in 2019, Marvel Studios regained the X-Men rights and began bringing back old characters like Wolverine and Professor X into the MCU, while also preparing a completely new X-Men project.
Chuyện lạ ở Hollywood: Có siêu năng lực là bị cấm?
In the Wonder Man trailer, we see a very interesting detail: the lead character goes to audition for a movie but has to sign a pledge that "I do not have superpowers." This shows that the society in Marvel (MCU) is beginning to discriminate against and fear people with special abilities.
It's like an implicit policy to push away people who are "different" from ordinary life. This is very similar to the X-Men comics, where mutants are always ostracized by the world. Marvel is carefully creating a world where anyone with powers is regarded as a threat.
Nỗi sợ hãi đang bao trùm khắp nơi
Not only in Wonder Man, but in other projects like Daredevil: Born Again, with Mayor Wilson Fisk's campaign to root out the street knights. People are also starting to hate superheroes. They no longer see those who soar through the skies as saviors, but as troublemakers. This loss of trust is the "fertile ground" for introducing the X-Men into the films.
It seems the Sokovia Accords were scrapped after Captain America: Civil War; the MCU keeps replacing them with new policies from both the government and corporations, in an effort to regulate the heroes.
Carefully note that in many MCU projects, Damage Control is actively monitoring individuals with superpowers and the threats they deem special (this agency will also appear in Wonder Man). Additionally, the anti-alien sentiment, clearly shown in Secret Invasion, is another notable factor.
When the new X-Men appear, they will not be welcomed like the Avengers. Instead, they will face hostility and fear from both the government and the people. This approach to storytelling makes the Marvel (MCU) narrative feel much more realistic and deeply layered.
Tại sao chúng ta nên hóng chờ X-Men?
Because this time, the X-Men won't just be a group of superheroes fighting in the usual way. They represent people who have been marginalized by society, trying to find a place for themselves. Marvel Studios wants us to feel the pain and injustice that mutants have to endure even before they appear.
Every small detail in the upcoming series is a precious piece of the puzzle. The thrill of uncovering these secrets is truly exciting for any fan.
The preparation for the X-Men through the Marvel (MCU) small projects is a very clever tactic. It creates a socially dramatic backdrop, ready to erupt when the mutant lineup officially steps into the light. Let's join MyKingdom in looking forward to the new X-Men movies in the future!
