The X-Men are on their way to the MCU, and fan art imagines Stranger Things' Millie Bobby Brown as one of the mutant hero group's iconic members.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Marvel Studios is in the early stages of developing its first X-Men movie, and striking fan art imagines Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown as one of the MCU's potential star mutants. During Fox's time with ownership of the X-Men IP for movies, two different generations of heroes became iconic in major mutant roles.
If Marvel Studios wants to differentiate its X-Men from the versions of the team that have appeared in movies so far, it may look to focus on characters that were either absent from Fox's movies or were tangential to the central stars. In fan art posted to Deviant Art, artist CaptainIronWidow imagines Millie Bobby Brown as the X-Men's Kitty Pryde, aka Shadowcat.
Kitty Pryde is one of several mutants from Fox's X-Men franchise whom the MCU can finally redeem. Though Shadowcat appeared most prominently as the mutant who sent Wolverine back in time in X-Men: Days of Future Past, she was robbed of the true starring role in the story that she has in the Marvel Comics source material. With the ability to phase through solid objects, Kitty's mutant ability is both useful and visually interesting on-screen.
What We Know About The MCU's X-Men Reboot So Far At this point, very little is known about the MCU's upcoming X-Men movie. However, Marvel Studios has been slowly drip-feeding information about mutants into the franchise through the MCU Phases 4 and 5. Kamala Kahn was revealed to be a mutant in Ms. Marvel, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever's Namor is a mutant as well.
More information may be on the way soon, however, as Marvel Studios plans to listen to writers' pitches for their X-Men movie soon and solidify a writer by early next year. That timeline seems to support the theory that X-Men will be part of the MCU Phase 7. However, details should come out far before that regarding which X-Men the movie will focus on - perhaps including Kitty Pryde.
