Marvel Looks to X-Men to Revive MCU Amid Superhero Fatigue and Jonathan Majors Controversy
Marvel is facing a crisis as it grapples with a box office disappointment in the form of “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” amid concerns of “superhero fatigue.” The studio is making efforts to reclaim its status as a pop culture powerhouse. Adding to the predicament, Jonathan Majors, set to be the next big antagonist in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), is dealing with legal issues after his arrest on domestic violence charges following the release of “Quantumania.” While Majors contests the charges, it has caused significant public relations challenges for Marvel, prompting discussions about a potential recast.
Furthermore, there is a notable lack of anticipation for “The Marvels,” the next Marvel film scheduled for release. Due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, Marvel has been unable to utilize its three lead actors for promotional activities, resulting in diminished box office expectations for “The Marvels.”

To remedy these issues, Marvel appears to be looking to the X-Men, a superhero roster acquired by Disney during its 2019 acquisition of 21st Century Fox. This acquisition has generated excitement among fans, with upcoming projects like “Deadpool 3,” featuring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, as well as a “Fantastic Four” reboot slated for 2025. Marvel’s head, Kevin Feige, who originally started his career working on the “X-Men” franchise, has an opportunity to reimagine and integrate these characters into the MCU.
Marvel’s strategy to reinvigorate the MCU involves capitalizing on the X-Men and other Fox-acquired properties. This includes a recent promotional spot for “The Marvels” that subtly hinted at a convergence with the X-Men, sparking social media buzz. Marvel is keen on leveraging these assets to rejuvenate its cinematic universe.
