Marvel fans have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the X-Men in the MCU ever since the franchise rights were brought by Disney to Marvel Studios. While the studio has been slow to reveal details, rumours and leaks have provided some potential insight into what the first ‘X-Men‘ movie may entail. With mutants now officially part of the MCU thanks to ‘Ms. Marvel‘ and ‘Deadpool & Wolverine‘, the stage is set for the Mutants to make their debut.
Despite no official announcements, suspected lineups for the MCU X-Men have been circulating online. While nothing is confirmed yet, these rumours give fans an idea of what the team may feature.

Potential Team Members For The MCU X-Men
Many scoopers reported that the initial MCU X-Men lineup will include popular characters such as Gambit, Kitty Pryde, Iceman, Angel, and Jubilee. This core team would provide a good mix of veteran mutants and newcomers.
All of these mutants have been quite popular due to their diverse history in the comics. Featuring these fan favourites in the MCU X-Men movie would be a smart way to appeal to any watcher.
How these rumoured mutants come together remains unclear. One possibility is that they are students at the newly established Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters. This allows room to explore the discovery and acceptance of their powers alongside Professor X.

As more MCU projects are released, fans will be dissecting them for any sign of the X-Men’s introduction. Marvel is sure to build strong anticipation before unveiling their vision of the ‘X-Men‘ movie. But for now, these rumours are the most concrete clues we have about the MCU’s Mutants.
