We would have gotten at least one Xmen this year so far.

D4Ni13 said: I think it is still possible to get X-Men in the near future, since Future Fight included them this year. Comics like Astonishing X-Men are being released since 2017 also. RessurXion and Gifted are on the roll also. So if things are getting on their way, there's still a chance for them in MPQ.
Dormammu said: Beer40 said:3) Marvel is trying to bury the Mutant brand (Incorrect: Marvel has new comics titles out for Mutants as well as Mutants appearing in other games, like Clash of Champions.) This was actually accurate, to a degree. There were rumors that Marvel was refusing promotion of both the X-Men and Fantastic Four in what was being seen as a 'cold war' between them and Fox, with Marvel hoping to temporarily lessen the value of those franchises in the hopes that they could revert the film and television rights to those characters back to Marvel. There was direct evidence of this, like Marvel cancelling the Fantastic Four comic, removing X-Men and FF characters from promotional artwork, trying to emphasize/expand the Inhumans as the new mutant-like group of the Marvel U, etc etc...From what I can tell, with the recent successes of Mutant movies at Fox (Deadpool, Logan) Marvel has realized the likelihood of getting that franchise back is zero, so they've ended the cold war on that front (Marvel has returned focus to the X-books) but with the last FF movie bombing like it did, they still have hope of returning those film rights.

Dragon_Nexus said:Dunno if that war's completely over since the new Marvel Vs Capcom game has no mutants in it and the Marvel cast is made up almost exclusively of MCU characters.
Beer40 said: While we have no factual data, we can speculate on this topic. However, the most common reasons for this game not adding more Mutants that I see are these: (in parentheses I will debunk these myths)1) Marvel doesn't own the rights to the Mutants (Incorrect: Marvel owns all rights except TV/movie.)

We tend to get blindsided by the Marvel angle and forget that the games developers are in competition with each other and right now even some level of exclusivity to these characters is a massive draw. You have no idea. I am currently in the process of creating a line for a particular retailer to be an exclusive look for one of the core properties and it has to look nothing like what's been out in the marketplace for the last 10 years. While still being undeniably, definably, that property. It's been a challenge and a half to find a direction for this one.If I just confused you, imagine trying to create a line of product for Iron Man without being able to use red, black, or gold as the base/primary colors.

Actually, Marvel does own the TV rights which is why FOX had to negotiate with them in making Legion and the upcoming show Gifted. If Marvel wanted to include mutants in their shows, like they do in the cartoons, they can they just choose not to.

Actually, Marvel does own the TV rights which is why FOX had to negotiate with them in making Legion and the upcoming show Gifted. If Marvel wanted to include mutants in their shows, like they do in the cartoons, they can they just choose not to. FOX has an exclusive license for both film and television rights. The television portion of that contract does require some (confusing) level of approval from Marvel, but they are the only ones who can produce shows based on the X-mutants. LEGION is a co-production between FOX and Marvel TV and the new X-series (which was announced quite a while ago now) is rumored to be produced by both as well. It's nice to see FOX and Marvel co-operating rather than trying to sue each other. Maybe they can come to some sort of sharing agreement, like what happened with Sony and Spider-Man.
MaxxPowerz said: I think I speak for a lot of people when I say I'm glad Disney doesn't own the X-Men, as much as they aggressively sanitize their properties. Movies like Deadpool and OML would not be possible.Marvel owns a lot to Fox. Movies like Blade and the first X-Men movie are responsible for saving their brand, back when Disney had no interest in producing these films.
Dormammu said: Personally, watching the X-Men movies drives me absolutely bananas because of the total and complete fail at any semblance of continuity between films. This is made all the more prominent by the tight continuity the Marvel films have achieved. This is not to say there haven't been good X-films because I enjoy several of them, but with every new film they ignore much of what came prior. It's all made even muddier by the time-traveling soft-reset in Days of Future Past.
