Marvel Plans to Recast the X-Men and (Eventually) Tony Stark After ‘Avengers: Secret Wars,’ But ‘Reboot Is a Scary Word,’ Says Kevin Feige

If it gets X-Men into the MCU, go for it.
Leave Tony alone. In fact, leave all of the Avenger Trilogy alone. No Tony, no Steve, No Thor.
- The Avengers have to be recasted eventually.
  I'm 100% okay with it happening.
  
  The avengers are a ridiculously large cast of characters in the comics. There are several dozen to choose from (even more if you want to count Young Avengers, West Coast Avengers, etc.
  
  Sure, eventually, but not anytime soon. There are plenty of new characters and there are plenty of characters who pickup the existing titles. Tell stories that exist in the comics, but feel free to adjust, tweak or just make completely new interactions.
  
  Recast. Not recasted. And no. Much like DC and the Justice League, Marvel has a huge pantheon of heroes to pull from.
- They tried that with Tony and with Steve, Thor they left on the fence. They didn't make it work despite some of the post Endgame catalog being good or better, panicked, and got them back for truckloads of money.
  Marvel fans want to see good Marvel films, casual fans want to see good Marvel films with their favorite actors in, it seems. Disney want/need Marvel to be making blockbuster money, over a billion at box office, for most of the big Cinema releases and for that you need the casual fans.
- I forced myself to watch Thunderbolts. The entire movie they all kept taking about how they're not the avengers.
  Yeah we know. Well aware, Marvel. Get on with it already.
  
  Yes. It’s about them having to live and operate in the shadow of The Avengers. Of fucking course we know they aren’t them. That’s precisely the point, they are a bunch of second rate assholes needing to live up to the Avengers legacy while facing an Avengers level threat while being a bunch of fuckwits. The fact they AREN’T them and still find a way shows why they are worthy of the legacy.
  Plus, they dealt with a lot of mental trauma as well. It was a great movie.
  
  Thunderbolts was the best MCU movie since Winter Soldier.
Just create something new already
- It's gonna be young Xavier all over again.
  Feige said. “‘Endgame,’ literally, was about endings. ‘Secret Wars’ is about is about beginnings.”
  He surely was misquoted there, but it seems there's hope
Iron Man will be Bronze Man, Wolverine's adamantium will be recasted with aluminium, the steel dude will go for chrome and vibranium turns into copper thanks to that sweet deal with Ea-Nasir.
- Isn't that Ibana?
i just want two things:
the gifted to come back
an xmen 2099 series
Pfft. DC reboots every 2 minutes so why the hell not.
There was something Levar Burton said after the conclusion of Voyager: (paraphrasing because I can't remember the exact quote) People are tired of Star Trek.
And he was right. We needed a break. And then came Lower Decks.
The point is we're all tired of the same super hero movies. I stopped after Ant Man Quantumania.
We need original stories with interesting plots. Not recycled, rebooted, retooled IP.
Give me Good Will Hunting over Avengers: The Ant World Groot Farm part 4.
