X-Men’s young cast on the hook for 85-90 years of stories
I’m sure Feige didn’t mean it that way.
Speaking of playing characters until you’re 90.
This is quite the get from Charles Murphy at Murphy’s Multiverse. He’s the first to post this, from Kevin Feige Teases Marvel’s Multi-Decade X-Men Plans:
“Having 85, almost 90 years of comic book history, there’s so many stories yet to tell. We announced a very young, new cast for a property called X-Men the other day,” Feige noted to enthusiastic applause. […] “And that’s great because the stories that inspired me to want to make these kinds of movies haven’t been told yet. I’m quite excited about doing them.”
I’ve made much of this younger cast too. It’s obvious Marvel Studios is trying to have a longer runway with these actors, but I didn’t think about the stories that you can tell as the actors age.
Sign me up for grown up Scott and Jean and their complicated family a decade from now.
