The Marvel Universe continues to grow, with fresh projects hitting both big screens and small screens via Disney+ subscriptions. There’s a lot of buzz surrounding upcoming Marvel films, particularly “Avengers: Doomsday” and “Secret Wars.” As we eagerly anticipate the moment when the X-Men and Avengers share the screen for the first time, a video featuring James McAvoy has reemerged where he offers insightful thoughts on power structures.
What we know about Avengers: Doomsday is limited, but Marvel’s live stream cast announcement revealed that a number of OGs from the X-Men movies will appear. Moviegoers are wondering how this’ll work out, but an old interview McAvoy did with MTV (via Instagram) on the carpet for X-Men: Days of Future Past offered one possiblity. As he put it:
We have about forty members in our group, and five of them are unique. One of them is a half-human, half-robot character who can be deactivated when the power is turned off. Another one is incredibly strong, often seen wielding a shield. Can you believe it? And lastly, there’s another, I presume you know him, the archer with the bow and arrow.
To put it simply, it’s true that both The Avengers and X-Men have experienced changes in their lineups over time. However, the X-Men are structured more like a team, which could give them an edge in terms of numbers and power compared to Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, as suggested by actor McAvoy himself.

With a Disney+ subscription, you can stream the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and X-Men franchises starting at just $9.99 per month for their ad-supported plan. If you prefer an ad-free experience, it’s $15.99 monthly or save 16% by pre-paying $159.99 yearly. Check out the deal now!
He stated that Professor X is incredibly powerful.
We have weapons and other items, he has sharp claws. With just a command like “Sit down,” everyone obeys. If I were to say “Have some tea,” they would all be doing so. If I instructed them to undress, they’d comply. It would be quite chaotic, and it would be mortifying for them.
Charle Xavier possesses Omega-level mutant abilities, making him one of the world’s most powerful telepaths. In terms of his powers, he has the potential to control both bodies and minds of the entire Avengers team if he so chooses. Therefore, they might require protective headgear when confronting the X-Men in Doomsday.
Although James McAvoy isn’t featured on the cast of “Avengers: Doomsday,” his fellow actor Patrick Stewart will reprise his role as Professor X. This development is exciting news for fans who have followed the Marvel films sequentially, eagerly anticipating the long-awaited collision between the X-Men and Avengers.
On May 1st, 2026, the truth will be unveiled when “Avengers: Doomsday” premieres in cinemas. However, prior to that, we have “Fantastic Four: First Steps” scheduled for release on July 25th, 2025, which is one of the upcoming films for that year.
