Why The MCU Should Use This Comic Run As A Basis For The X-Men
With The Fantastic Four and Patrick Stewart being confirmed in the MCU, it's only a matter of time until the X-Men join in on the action. Although many are excited for Patrick Stewart to join the party, the best way to do the X-Men in the MCU would be to just reboot the entire series, meaning new actors, new stories, and hopefully a new look and feel with most fans already knowing the overall story of the X-Men with past shows and movies. This would seem like a lot of work, but luckily Marvel has something nobody but DC has, and that is a built-in collection of decades of source material.
The X-Men comics began in 1963 with comic legends Stan Lee and Jack Kirby at the helm. The comics would quickly grow into one of the biggest comics in history with Chris Claremont and Jim Lee bringing the book to its peak with X-Men 1 in 1991 being the highest-selling single issue of all time.

After decades of every rendition being mostly the same, the popular team would later get fresh updates with one of comic book's greatest writers of all time Grant Morrison in 2001. It was a much-needed update for the team, and it gave the characters something new to bite onto. But in 2019, the X-Men found itself in a similar place of needing something fresh for the franchise, thusly bringing in Jonathan Hickman.
Famous for his runs with The Fantastic Four and The Avengers, Hickman has made a name for himself in comics, and it would be him and a team of writers that would usher in a new era of X-Men in 2019 starting withPowers of X and House of X. It is because he brought the X-Men to a new era that his run would work as a great base for the MCU X-Men if it were to happen.
