10 Steps To Successfully Reboot The X-Men Into The MCU

10. Distance Itself From The New Mutants

You really have to feel sorry for The New Mutants, which initially finished shooting so long ago that instead of being the last entry in Fox's X-Men franchise, it'll now be the first installment in Marvel's.

The seemingly cursed production has been beset by extensive reshoots that were said to have dramatically altered the tone of the movie, before any and all references to previous X-flicks were ordered to be removed now that Josh Boone's horror-tinged comic book adaptation fell under the ownership of the Mouse House.

The New Mutants is currently scheduled to hit theaters at the end of August, which is the fifth and latest release date for a movie that was originally set to arrive in April 2018. Marvel Studios will be keen to establish their X-Men and a brand new and separate entity from what's come before, and that means quietly sweeping their immediate predecessor under the rug and pretending like it never existed in the first place.
