🚨 X-MEN REBOOT DRAMA! 🚨 Kevin Feige and Disney are reportedly clashing behind the scenes over the creative direction of Marvel Studios' first X-Men movie post-Secret Wars! On today’s episode of The Kristian Harloff Show, Kristian and Mike Kalinowski break down the biggest rumors and stories shaking up the MCU and beyond.
👊 Main Topic:
Feige wants the X-Men film to center on mutant identity, social issues, and a grounded storyline featuring the Brotherhood of Mutants. Meanwhile, Bob Iger and Disney reportedly want a high-stakes, action-packed blockbuster to rival the success of Deadpool & Wolverine and Spider-Man: No Way Home. With recent box office struggles (Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts) weighing heavy, Disney may be pushing for spectacle over substance.

Grounded drama or event spectacle? Feige's vision clashes with Disney's demands
X-Men casting rumors: Daniel Day-Lewis, Bryan Cranston, Cynthia Erivo, and more
