If the MCU is going to treat the X-Men as equals, it really needs to double down by giving the key heroes their own movies. Though there's no urgency to give Wolverine his own film considering how many Hugh Jackman ones we've already had, it'd be great for the likes of Storm, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Mystique and Nightcrawler to get their own films.

Now, Marvel Studios will need to balance this with sequels for their existing MCU properties, but given that Phase 4 will almost certainly have at least 10 movies and probably many more, there's definitely room for at least three X-Men spin-offs to make the cut.

Accepting how fantastically the MCU has handled introductions for tricky characters like Thor, Guardians of the Galaxy and Doctor Strange, they've got every hope of giving these legendary X-Men the solo adventures they've long been deserving of.
