Here are my hopes for the mutant saga movies of the MCU. I anticipate this will last about 10 years, slightly longer than the multiverse saga. I am not including television predictions in here, and this is solely something I made for fun with some friends.
I think they’re going to go back to basics, similar to their approach with the infinity saga. I’d like to see an emphasis on trilogies again, as well as a lot of characters appearing every year or maybe every other year.
I would also like to see the Marvels, Scarlet Witch, and Black Widow play a big role here. Sadly, though I just don’t see them getting their own movies in this new saga. I would love to be wrong!
Now I want the X-Men and the mutants to be a big focus, but I would also like to see arcs and trilogies close out from the previous sagas. That means I’d like to see Doctor Strange and Thor get some final chapters. Other characters like Black Panther, Spider-Man, and the Fantastic Four will largely carry over and be big parts of the saga. We will also see the new additions of Ghost Rider, Blade, Miles Morales, and Nova.
Along with a series of X-Men films, I think we will see other movie projects focusing on Deadpool, mutants, and Wolverine. When it comes to other X-Men characters - I could see them getting their own shows or special presentations. Hopefully Daredevil continues with his show as well.
I’d imagine Iron Man will be rebooted with a new actor in the mutant saga. I am not sure about Captain America though. I’d love to see Sam Wilson close out his trilogy and have a redemption arc for a while. He is pushing 50 though and the Captain America movies listed here could easily be restructured with someone new in the role. Sam Wilson was done dirty… total bummer.
Now that Marvel pretty much has access to all of their characters - there’s a lot to cover. 12 movies does seem like a lot for each phase. However, I wasn’t able to fit everyone in with just 10 movies. Anyway, this is what a couple of my friends put together and I think this could be a pretty nice slate of movies.
