Since they became fair game for Marvel Studios to use, the X-Men have slowly been brought into the MCU fold. Versions of such iconic mutants as Professor Charles Xavier (Sir Patrick Stewart), the aforementioned Beast, Wolverine (Hugh Jackman), and Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) from across the Multiverse are now in the MCU, but fans have yet to see a proper X-Men movie. It stands to reason that the team and its corner of the Marvel Universe will receive a proper MCU feature soon. If it were to be offered up to her, DaCosta knows one major story element she’d like to cover.
During an appearance on Jake’s Takes, DaCosta discussed one of her ideal cinematic X-Men stories. “I really like Scott Summers and Storm together and their dynamic fighting over who should lead the X-Men, like in the Chris Claremont run,” she said. The director sees a lot of potential in a Cyclops and Storm team-up film at the movies, which would be a refreshing change of pace from 20th Century Fox’s Professor X and Wolverine-heavy “X-Men” saga.
Hopefully, someday, DaCosta will get the opportunity to bring her friendly Cyclops and Storm rivalry to the big screen under the Marvel Studios banner, expanding on her work with the X-Men in “The Marvels.”
