Marvel's upcoming X-Men movie will start the franchise afresh, according to screenwriter Lee Sung Jin. Instead of bringing in lore from previous movies, the first mutant-centric MCU film has the mandate to start from scratch, thanks to Kevin Feige's vision.
Beef creator Lee, who is writing the script, shared the update in a new interview with Deadline, saying there aren't many parameters put on them for what the film has to be. "I'd say there were actually more parameters on Thunderbolts because it was plugging into an existing arc and existing characters, whereas with X-Men, Kevin [Feige] just wants to take a big swing and start anew, not be beholden to any of the movies that have come before," he explained.
