In this new era (soft-reboot), what stories want to see?

I'd personally like to see Scorpion at some point. After watching Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, I think he has a lot of potential to be a really cool and intimidating villain.

Whenever X-Men make their official appearances in MCU (maybe Avengers: Secret Wars). Wanting to be new, unique and different from rather basic and uninspired lineups fan’s have created is too similar to either 90s animated series or Claremont run. Adding Mirage to the main team would have provided something different to other X-Men adaptations and having Mirage being on the main team instead of New Mutants (more a veteran than being a teenager) helped the MCU X-Men stay out of previous incarnations from movies, cartoons and video games.

X-Men never saw a proper live-action adaptation highlighting the relationships and interactions between each other except for Logan. Seeing Cyclops talk to Storm in a friendly manner or Colossus interacting with Nightcrawler or Logan trying to push Gambit into making things clear with Rogue would actually be welcome. We need a classic X-men story and a familiar feeling.

I'd love Wolverine to appear, don't get me wrong! But I'd almost rather he be a more mellow presence, more in a mentorship role than the central figure (Especially as Cyclops needs a lot more attention).

That was always a problem with the X-Men movies; you'd have like two characters front and center and everyone else is just supporting instead of an ensemble, which is what's worked for the MCU historically. If they’d introduce too many characters in one film, none of them are going to get enough screen time for people to care about them.

I'd keep it to a slim roster of 9-10 (not too big, Beast or Emma stay behind at the school until seems his in action) for the opening act allows audiences (old/new) get to known characters with some familiarity so Marvel Studios is not trying to retold while origins of the mutant’s again.

Members:

1. Brenton Thwaites as Cyclops

1. Jodie Comer as Emma Frost

1. Milo Gibson as Wolverine

1. Paul Mescal as Beast

1. Yetide Badaki as Storm

1. Andrey Trushin as Colossus

1. Julia Butters as Shadowcat

1. Francois Civil as Gambit

1. Rachel Zegler as Rogue

1. Alyssa Wapanatâhk as Mirage

1. Dougrlas Henshall as Professor X

Honestly. I highly doubt Marvel Studios left her out. My guess is she won’t have a huge role when X-Men esli themselves in MCU. Since she was the most slightly semi-important role in the Fox franchise. She will be in the reboot, but my bet is Storm, Emma and X-23 will be main female lead roles, with Jean taking a don’t appear, maybe less beings mention one or or twice.

Formation/origins or should Marvel Studios hit the ground running with an established team (skip the origin’s)?

So Doomsday is probably going to focus on Doctor Doom and the MCU's heroes, and also the Fantastic Four who may or may not be in the MCU by the end of their film, and this is going to be an MCU-centric film and only bring in elements of the X-Men stuff, like an member or the team or two, while Secret Wars will be more about Battleworld and the story’s involved going loose by on the original 1984 storyline with probably and borrowing elements from the other Secret Wars (2015) event heroes (featuring Avengers, Fantastic Four, New X-Men, Spider-Man, Deadpool and etc) and supervillains place against each other to see who would win in a fight of good against evil. Maybe more.
