How to Make a Perfect X-Men Movie (Pitch)

I like how much Angel & Iceman, Original Xmen, are showing up here in this treatment. Warren & Bobby were great core characters for years in the comics, be sure to cast them well too!

I think your prologue perfectly sets up Sinisters obsession with Scott and Jean so I think that’s who sinister should be after. It’s also more comic accurate.

im flattered from the offer to cast me as scott, but i’m glad you didn’t so i wouldn’t steal the show. (wink, wink, nudge, nudge)

This was a very thorough rundown of the ideal Xmen film. I'm glad you are emphasizing Mr. Sinister as the main villain here. We have seen enough of Magneto, very excited to see evil Nathan Essex! The casting suggestions made are intriguing too.

That is a really nice X-Men movie pitch you there, bub. But I think we could’ve had two prequel movies of the comic accurate X-Men first class and the Giant Size X-Men. Because throughout the MCU, I think the X-Men and the mutants would’ve been hidden from the whole world. I like your casting btw and I can agree with Richard Madden as Cyclops and Christian Bale as Mr. Sinister due to their previous MCU roles being wasted. I also like the other casting like Ralph Fiennes as Professor X, Jeffrey Wright as Beast, Jane Levy as Jean Grey, Anna Diop as Storm, Diana Silvers as Rogue, Austin Butler as Gambit, Jack Champion as Iceman, and Tom Blyth as Angel. BTW, I feel like Nightcrawler, Shadowcat, and Colossus could’ve been in the movie. If they were who would you have casted?

As a hardcore X head I must point out some things. Fox already had Rogue as the villain’s means to an end. Fans will rip the idea to shreds. Sinister should stay obsessed with Scott and Jean. He should lure them into a trap. And if the only super-powered combatants are all Sinisters the audience will get bored fast. This is where the Marauders come in. And you confused me by not explaining who Rogue absorbed her super strength and the ability to fly from. But kudos for understanding emotional stakes in a fight

Nah this is better than Wonka wtfff! We makin it outta the editing software with this one 🔥🗣️

Having sinister as a villian is also a great way to eventually bring in Apocalypse. Sinister has so much history, his plan can be woven through 100 years. Its dope. Good idea.

Great video. Really appreciate your thoughts. Can tell just how much you love these characters. Glad you’ve given Cyclops recognition. He has always been criminally underused in live action films. Let’s hope your pitch makes it to Marvel!

This was absolutely perfect i loved every bit of this. And thank you for treating Cyclops with some actual respect.

Loved this can’t wait for part 2!

I did enjoy it very much. However I think the Plot of a villain wanting to use rogues power has already been done. It would be cool to have leaned into rogues villain origin turned hero. And maybe have kitty been the point of view character

I like how you said angel observes the X-terrior 4:29

OK, my pitch. Here we go: Mutants used to operate like 0.000001% of the globe, but since the blip's energy activated the mutant dormant gene, that number has increased exponentially. This has led to a great controversy around how to treat mutants. This is brought to ahead when the supervillain Arcade (Ben Schwartz), a psychotic techno path, shows up. He has kidnapped a bunch of mutants from around the world, put them in a place he calls "murder-world", is forcing them to fight to the death, and is streaming it to the world. This has led to a massive controversy, as an argument is spreading that the X-Gene is a sign of celestial/eternal DNA, therefore not qualifying you as human. Insane pastor and US senator Will Stryker (Matthew McConaughey) is the main voice against this, attempting to convince the world that these mutants don't deserve or qualify for any help. The X-Men, which here consists of Professor X (Ralph Fiennes), Cyclops (Tom Hopper), Jean Grey (Rose Leslie), Iceman (Justice Smith), Angel (Rege Jean-Page) and Beast (Joel Edgerton), are trying to convince the world that mutants are good, whilst trying to look for Arcade and Murder World. At the same time, the Brotherhood of Mutants, a terrorist group led by Magneto (Jason Isaacs), with the notable member of Mystique (Sofia Boutella), are active, looking for Arcade as well, but through much more violent means. This highlights the differences between the two factions, along with showing how the world views mutants. Plus, Murder World can introduce us to other mutants forced to fight, such as Jubilee, Gambit, etc. I haven't really thought beyond that though. Movie 2: Mr Sinister (Hugh Grant comedy casting, I'd actually say Tom Ellis) kidnaps the OG X-Men, and begins conducting experiments. Xavier forms a new team, Wolverine (IDK, Tom Hardy), Storm (Jodie Turner-Smith), Nightcrawler (Matthias Schweighofer), Colossus (Florian Munteanu) and others I won't cast here. Rogue (Lily James) will also debut here, as the Brotherhood attempt to capitalise through a mass recruitment scheme. Jean is tortured further by Sinister, leading to a clone called Madeline Pryor. Angel's wings are removed as well Movie 3: Sinister uses his research to resurrect Apocalypse, who starts plans for world destruction, forcing mutants to team up and stop him. Apocalypse's Four Horseman are Angel, Madeline Pryor, Psyloche and Gambit (I like the idea of Sinister preparing the Horsemen previously). Meanwhile, the Hellfire Club, led by Emma Frost (Rosamund Pike) and Sebastian Shaw (Rufus Sewell) start to turn Jean into the new Black Queen, as Magneto starts to investigate them. Movie 4 (and final): Jean is controlled by the Hellfire Club, goes psycho, kills many, many people, dies. Magneto and X team up to build Krakoa, and the mutants retire to their own nation. In between films: A high school drama called "the worst mutants", starring X-Ceptional, a mutant with the power to explode once. He is in school with his weird friends, such as Beak, Maggot and Eye-Guy. Quentin Quire and his "Alpha Gang" of powerful mutants, serve as the bullies, while Armour and Jubilee can serve as the cool girls. Features cameos from the X-Men as the films occur in the background. Plus, the teachers are Banshee and Forge, neither of whom are part of the X-Men anymore.

I think it could have tied really well into the overall story if, instead of Weapon Plus, it was Sinister who experimented on Logan. Just an idea, as I would have loved to have seen more of him in this pitch, but I loved the video as it is.

Wait… where is Jubilee?

Thank you for using Storm for something useful. She is an omega level mutant that has been wasted time and time again. Great pitch but i wish it was a Disney+ series to give this a longer run time.

I think having the tension between wolverine and Scott is enough, the love triangle is honestly tiring, so I think just having tension just be the two of them without Jean is enough imo

Bro is doing the x-men justice 🔥🔥🔥

My pitch fir the opening scene: The movie opens on two guards on the top of a building patrolling the perimeter. They're having some small conversations about staying vigilant for mutants. Then we see a shadowy figure fly over them and they turn around to figure out what it was and before they can contact anyone else, they are not out by Angel who radios to the other X-Men that the roof has been secured. Then we see someone riding a bicycle up to the front of the building and the guards try to stop them but they are beat up and when the person takes off their masks reveal that it's Jubilee popping gum. She radios to the others that the front entrance has been secured and then it flashes to the back of the building to show that ice man has frozen the guards in the rear. Scott, Jean and Storm enter the building with a warning from Beast through coms that they need to be extra stealthy. Which is why everyone is wearing black at this point. The three of them make their way through the building disarming security cameras and sensors as they go. When they reach the asset Scott is a little too hasty and accidentally trips an alarm. That's when the walls start to come down and it reveals that we are in the danger room and this is an exercise and now we get to see the X-Men fighting in the danger room as a team. I feel like this is a better opening than the one we got in the last stand.
