Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Ever since the X-Men fell back under Marvel's purview there have been rumblings of an "Avengers vs X-Men" adaptation - but such a story faces a problem bigger than Avengers: The Kang Dynasty's well publicized issues. There is still no official word on whether Kang the Conqueror will be recast and, if so, who will be taking on the role following the not-so-recent departure of Jonathan Majors from the MCU.
Why Avengers Vs X-Men Can't Work In The MCU Close As a possible replacement for Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, an "Avengers vs. X-Men" adaptation faces a far more prominent issue than recasting Kang the Conqueror. Although Kang's MCU future is marred by a lukewarm reception to Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, simply recasting Kang with an actor liable to stoke excitement could help to remedy this while placing a classic arch-villain in direct opposition to the titular Avengers.
The Avengers have also fought one another on similar grounds, with Captain America: Civil War depicting what would happen when two ideologically opposed factions come to blows. The main difference here, however, is that the opposing teams were pulling their punches, stopping short of lethal force in favor of a glorified punch-up. X-Men '97 Episode 9, meanwhile, saw Wolverine impale Magneto with his claws .
Avengers Vs X-Men Still Fits The MCU's Big Plans Regardless of how Marvel does it, an Avengers Vs. X-Men adaptation must be an extremely tempting prospect for the studio financially. The MCU has proven that ensemble movies like Avengers and Spider-Man: No Way Home are billion-dollar cash cows. With the MCU currently on shaky ground following a suboptimal 2023 that included its biggest box office bomb to date, the benefits of such a safe bet are hard to ignore.
