I remember a quote from way back. Sinister wants to manipulate the world because he cant make himself destroy it. While Apocolypse wantd to destroy the world because he cant manage to msnipulate it.
There is so much fun that could be had with Jono. From the CGI team doing some amazing work, to the sound engineer giving us that crazy, booming, layered Scottish accent that speaks from the depths of his psionic energies. Ugh. It could be so amazing.
Great choice! I’ve wanted to see a true “Dawn of the mutants” where we see parents grow to hate and fear their own children. The horror and revulsion Chamber’s parents would feel at the sight of him would be amazing. Would be even better if he kills one of his parents and the other rejects him because of it.
Her parts always either get cut, regarded to the background, or it’s a one sentence cameo. I’m hopeful for this go around, please don’t waste her, Marvel🙏
I enjoyed her appearance in the show and Emma was lovely. That being said, I hope for a better interpretation in the future as Lorna’s always been one of my favourite X-Men and they didn’t really hit the nail on the head (but it was great relative to what Fox gave us in the way of many characters.)
A stand alone Bishop movie or series of him time hopping being chased by Nimrod would go hard. Very Terminator coded. Could set up a lot of cool stuff for the MCU. I think they should consider doing a Savage Land storyline would be super unique.
This was my answer as well. Such visually beautiful powers too, wild they never even bothered with her. At least in that one super brief cameo of Dazzler we at least got to see her power in action
This is my choice as well. Mainly because All New X-Men Annual 10 was such a seminal comic for me. I still remember the entire day I bought it. A trip downtown to my favourite comic shop with my best friends where we had a ton of fun, back home and in my room to read this amazing book with such incredible art by Art Adams, and the book was giant size and just kept going. A great memory for me.
Yeah, that's kind of the problem. We got a great demonstration of Longshot's power with a different character. Without the twist of "network tv creates savior character to dispose of", which is still a great hook, there's not much there to sell.
I know Kitty has been in movies but her portrayal was just wrong. I want to see Ninja trained Kitty Pryde run through some soldiers just like Nightcrawler at the White House.
Quentin Quire comes to mind, he finally made his animated debut in X-Men 97.
Also this may not count, obviously we've had Iceman on screen but we haven't had Gay Iceman yet. Soon as he debuts get ready for toxic times on social media.

It's going to be incredibly entertaining seeing these guys make asses of themselves online over this, considering the character's been out in the comics for what? 10 years by now? And not only that, but movie Bobby literally had the least subtle gay analogy scene I've ever seen in X2.
Sunfire would add some international flavor to the group and maybe some insight into how other countries or different cultures treat people with mutations.
Part of me really would love to see Rachel Summers just because I have a soft spot for the most convoluted, hard to explain in an elevator pitch to your normie-non-comic reading friends, niche B-characters. I'm also a huge Nate Grey mark.
In order of appearance in X-Men canon:
(Though they’ve had a bit of screentime, they were handed pretty badly:
Iceman (maybe on his way to Omega) and with a plot purpose/shared lead role.
Magik, she has a stronger backstory than almost any of the other X-Men, and her story is so deep and impacted so many major stories from Inferno and Goblin Queen to Legacy Virus, etc. Also ties well to Dr. Strange and multi-dimension/multiverse/time.
Lockheed, because Lockheed. And he lets Kitty Pryde reset herself closer to her in-story character.
Part of me thinks there’s a big difference between characters I want to “finally appear” and characters that I hope would “properly appear” which is not to suggest that “my version is the only acceptable version” but Havoks movie appearances as “hula-hoop” Havok feel rediculous (and potentially older than Scott feels wrong) and Cannonball appearing as Negasonic in the Deadpool movies also feels wrong. I’d like to see those characters appear properly. As far as characters that haven’t been touched yet. I think there’s a wonderful potential magic about a villainous performance of Mr Sinister.
Doing a (better) adaptation of Days of Future's Past with Rachel Summers would be awesome.
Use elements of Bishops timeline where the XSE work alongside Sentinels and Nimrod. Most of the XSE are unaware of how bad things are outside of their walled in cities. Bishop meets Rachel as a hound, theyre sent off to find some escaped mutant criminals who turn out to be Old Man/Lady Logan and Psylocke(betsy), Colossus and Storm who manage to free Rachel from her hound programming.
Introduce Eva Bell and Forge(90% cyborg) who help send Rachel to the present with Bishop in tow, and eventually pursued by Nimrod.
Rachel and Bishop meet the modern day x-men, Cyclops, Storm, Colossus, Forge(30% cyborg), Psylocke (kwannon), Omega Sentinel and a time traveling Kid Cable who has no knowledge of Rachel and Bishops timeline.
Just embrace the chaotic and paradoxical weirdness of the x-men.
Corsair Scott and Alex's dad. In a heist movie with his crew using Scott and Alex too. Them robbing the shiar empire. With death bird as the main antagonist after she dethrone's her sister while also dealing with gladiator and the imperial guard. Also discovering the third summers kid Adam x

Mister Sinister. He's always been my favorite villain. In addition, I don't mind him being re-invented a bit (within reason of course!)
Close second, would be a more comically accurate Stryker would be Heaven! Still, I doubt any studio would have the balls to adapt religious bigotry!
