Forget Iron Man, Thor, Black Widow and others. They will make way for new faces hitherto relegated to the rank of ancillary appearances. The casting of Marvel Cinematic Universe films will be renewed.
For more than 15 years we have been accustomed to seeing Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Captain America or even Scarlet Witch on our big and small screens. Since the launch of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), these superheroes were entitled to their own films before being reunited in the team of Avengers. Throughout the phases, some have passed their costume to others, but overall, the characters remain the same.
However, there are many other Marvel heroes, except that until the acquisition of the studios, Disney did not hold the rights. It's for this reason that the X-Men had their own connected universe before finally finding themselves on the poster of Deadpool & Wolverine. Besides, if you like mutants, you will be served.

Right after that, the whole Secret Wars story will really take us into a new era of mutants and X-Men. Once again, [c’est] a dream come true. The X-Men are finally back“, he exclaims.
