The highly anticipated movie titled “Captain America: Brave New World” is the next Marvel production on the calendar, promising significant shifts in Disney’s superhero universe. Primarily focusing on Sam Wilson, the film also hints at developments for various parts of the cinematic world. Particularly, the X-Men lore expands in this movie. As a fan like many others, I share the excitement, yet I feel it’s important for Marvel to trust fans more when dealing with the complexities of mutants.
What Did Captain America: Brave New World’s Co-Producer Say About The Film’s X-Men Ties?
As a die-hard movie fan, let me share an exciting piece of news I stumbled upon last summer during San Diego Comic-Con 2024. It was then that we learned that Captain America 4 would forge an unexpected connection with The Eternals. In the latter film, we witnessed the catastrophic attempt by the Celestial being, Tiamut, to obliterate Earth during the Emergence, only to be halted by Sersei. Now, it seems that Tiamut’s colossal form has been preserved, and its frozen body is set to be mined for a remarkable new substance – adamantium!
For those in the know, this metal is one of the strongest in the Marvel universe and is famously associated with Wolverine’s indestructible claws. So, moviegoers, buckle up as we delve deeper into the Marvel Cinematic Universe!
Nate Moore, producer of the upcoming “Brave New World” movie, has revealed that adamantium will play a significant role in the film’s plot. He explained to ComicBook.com that adamantium is instrumental in global power struggles, which he described as the main theme of the movie. Yet, Moore, who is both a skilled filmmaker and an ardent comic book enthusiast, also acknowledged that incorporating this iconic metal serves to establish the well-known characters from Stan Lee and Jack Kirby’s comics that were created several decades ago.
One strategy we’ve adopted when introducing the X-Men is to subtly lay the groundwork without overwhelming the audience with too many new concepts at once. For instance, we’ve already confirmed Namor as a mutant and hinted at Ms. Marvel potentially being one at the end of her series. This gradual seeding helps create a more cohesive and natural narrative as we approach the X-Men storyline, rather than abruptly introducing it into our current ongoing saga.
So far, the creators of the Marvel Cinematic Universe have cleverly incorporated hints towards the emergence of mutants. This has been done subtly, like in smaller scenes, but also in more dramatic ways, such as Patrick Stewart’s comeback as Professor X in “Doctor Strange 2” and the appearances of Beast and Binary in the mid-credits scene of “The Marvels”. This is a strategy that has proven successful for the studio in the past. However, I believe it might not be as crucial this time since…
Why Marvel’s Mutant Approach Doesn’t Need To Be So Tedious?
One fascinating aspect I’ve discovered about the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is its ability to present a multitude of superhero figures, ideas, and settings to a broader public over the years. Since these concepts were unfamiliar to those not versed in comics, they had to be introduced gradually and with care. A notable example would be the journey leading to Thanos and the Infinity Gauntlet. Yet, the franchise has also been developing elements of the _Black Panther_ series gradually, while Kang the Conqueror was previously being set up at a leisurely pace.
It’s clear that introducing mutants into this storyline abruptly might not be ideal, but it’s also time to ease up a bit given that audiences have been exposed to multiple X-Men films over the years. In fact, the excitement surrounding Hugh Jackman returning as Wolverine in 2023’s Deadpool & Wolverine is a testament to this fact. By now, it seems fair to assume that many viewers have at least a fundamental grasp of mutants and their universe.
Consider it similar to the case of Spider-Man, who wasn’t given a lengthy introduction in the MCU. Similarly, the Fantastic Four might not have had extensive setup before their upcoming movie, “First Steps,” potentially because audiences are already quite acquainted with them.
Absolutely, given that entertainment industry executives often rush to exploit an Intellectual Property (IP), I understand why Marvel is being patient before officially re-introducing the X-Men in movies. However, I do hope they avoid excessive exposition about the mutants’ history. In the interim, I am eagerly anticipating how adamantium will factor into “Captain America: Brave New World” when it releases on February 14, 2025 as part of the movie schedule for that year.
