When Marvel Studios announced the first wave of additions to the Avengers: Doomsday cast, several X-Men franchise actors were listed among them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

To bring you up to speed, those were\u00a0Patrick Stewart (Professor X), Ian McKellen (Magneto), Alan Cumming (Nightcrawler), Rebecca Romijn (Mystique), James Marsden (Cyclops), Kelsey Grammer (Beast), and Deadpool & Wolverine star\u00a0Channing Tatum (Gambit).<\/p>\n

The hope among the majority of fans is that we might get a loose adaptation of Avengers vs. X-Men, with Earth-616’s Mightiest Heroes forced to do battle with Earth-10005’s mutants when their respective realities collide.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For longtime X-Men lover Anthony Mackie, the MCU’s Captain America, there are a few specific characters he can’t wait to share the screen with next year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Look, I am a big Cyclops fan. That’s my favorite X-Men,” <\/strong>he told Screen Rant<\/a>.\u00a0“I have a Cyclops action figure on my key chain that I’ve had since high school. When I was in high school, the X-Men cartoon was really big, and this was before the movies. I’ve always been a huge Cyclops fan, and I’m really, really excited – hopefully, knock on wood – for them to be a part of it and come into it.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

“[I’m excited] to hang out with Xavier and Beast and all those guys. But my favorite is Nightcrawler,”<\/strong> Mackie continued.\u00a0“If I can hang out with one character? Me and Nightcrawler in the French Quarter during Mardi Gras for two weeks, that’s what I do.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Captain America and Cyclops standing side-by-side on the battlefield in Avengers: Doomsday is essential, and we’d bet on the Russo Brothers helping make Mackie’s fantasy a reality in the movie.\u00a0<\/p>\n

These comments come after the actor hyped up the highly anticipated ensemble\u00a0with some high praise for what Joe and Anthony are bringing to the table.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re supposed to go out this week, and we\u2019ll be out there doing it. Everybody\u2019s excited. I feel with the script and having the Russo brothers back, it\u2019s going to be great,”<\/strong> he teased<\/a>. “I\u2019m really excited for what this project is going to be. It\u2019s going to give the audience that old Marvel feeling that they always had.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Russo Brothers have a spotty track record outside the MCU, but had a flawless run with Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame.<\/p>\n

The hope is that Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars will be more in line with them rather than The Gray Man and The Electric State. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige is thought to be very hands-on with both movies as he looks to end the\u00a0Multiverse Saga on a high note.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Avengers: Doomsday\u00a0is set to be released on May 1 2026, with\u00a0Avengers: Secret Wars\u00a0scheduled\u00a0to arrive on May 7, 2027.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When Marvel Studios announced the first wave of additions to the Avengers: Doomsday cast, several X-Men franchise actors…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":23354,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3935],"tags":[14710,3983,77,3943,16,15,7934],"class_list":{"0":"post-23353","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-anthony-mackie","9":"tag-avengers-doomsday","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-movies","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom","14":"tag-x-men"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114344775120382251","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23353","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23353"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23353\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23354"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23353"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23353"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23353"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
