Will Fulll X-Men Cast Be Revealed At D23? New Magneto Rumors : Weekly Geek Highlight

**SPEAKER_1** (0:00)
Okay, I'm gonna hit you with some rumors.
You can give me, I guess this kind of work is a BS. So you give me more percentages, this is what we'll go. I got a litany of rumors.

**Taylor** (0:08)
Okay.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:08)
The X-Men will be from the 838, aka the F-4s universe.

**Taylor** (0:17)
No, no, definitely not. I stand opposing this because in that trailer, again, you have three different earths.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:23)
Don't say anything about anybody, you know.

**Taylor** (0:25)
What?

**SPEAKER_1** (0:25)
Don't say anything about anybody else we might know.

**Taylor** (0:29)
Okay. You have three earths that you see in the trailer. And again, I just I fall back on to the fact that they keep advertising it on the concept arts, the posters, the trailers, like you have them standing separately as three teams.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:41)
But that's not breaking anything though, because that would be part of the F-4s universe.
So the idea is the idea working here, and I guess I can pull up this whole thing. This did come from the C-tier and I'll read it. But the idea is you can't do Magneto on the Holocaust now, right? Because it's just so far away.

**Taylor** (1:06)
You can't do Magneto on the Holocaust?

**SPEAKER_1** (1:09)
So obviously one of his big popular characters is he and his family went to the Holocaust, right?

**Taylor** (1:14)
Yeah.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:15)
And that shapes and bends them. You couldn't do that nowadays because a person that's still alive would be like in their 90s or 100s, right? So if you're getting, let's say it's Adam Driver or whoever, they could have gone to the Holocaust because clearly they're much younger, right?
Where does the F4 universe take place?

**Taylor** (1:37)
Isn't it in the present time?

**SPEAKER_1** (1:39)
No, is it or is it in the 60s?

**Taylor** (1:43)
I thought the technology was 60s, but it was very advanced.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:47)
So here's the rumor. This is from Mr. Gruber. He said, they heard a rumor that Marvel's early plans, but this is where early plans are going to change, is make the X-Men come from the universe of 828, sorry, not 838 After Seagull Wars, 828 and 616 would merge, meaning the characters from the 60s, yes, would now be the ones from present day. Yeah, so, but that's what I'm saying, if Magneto, he could go to the Holocaust in that universe, and then whatever, you know.

**Taylor** (2:11)
But this is just to justify Adam Driver playing Magneto.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:15)
I think it's to justify a lot of things. It's to justify anybody playing Magneto, that's not 100s. It's to justify, Taylor, where's Wolverine been?

**Taylor** (2:24)
In 616?

**SPEAKER_1** (2:26)
Yeah.
He's the guy that's been around for 100 years. He fought in World War II with Cap, all this stuff. I don't love it either, because I think it's kind of a cheat, if you just say, and especially because I had talked about this with someone. I said, well, in F4, they said, oh, there's no other superheroes in that universe. One, they could lie and wreck on that, right? And two, the mutants could just be keeping it a secret, right? They're not saying anything.

**Taylor** (2:51)
But we know that there's not all the same heroes in all the other different timelines, right? And I say this because you look at No Way Home, you know, Toby McGuire is like, the Avengers, that's great. What is that? They don't have the Avengers where he came from, right? Those other Spider-Men don't have. And I know because it's backtracking and they're just trying to make it work for the current narrative.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:11)
Doesn't that help this rumor of the mutants that we're going to know, that the X-Men are going to come from the F4 universe? So after Secret Wars, when we combined with the 616 and the F4 universe, if the mutants are there, they were over there and they're combining, and now they're in present day.

**Taylor** (3:28)
I would counter it, but I don't, I can't because they're spoilers from something.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:35)
I know what you're saying. Some people have theorized that character there is, so I'll give you this example, Taylor.

**Taylor** (3:41)
Are you thinking like a time traveling thing out of time?

**SPEAKER_1** (3:45)
Well, kind of out of time thing, but I'll give you this example.
Wolverine died in the 616 universe, right? Wolverine died and Laura Kinney was left as X-23, and then she became Wolverine. When they did a universe conjoining thing, Wolverine came back, but he was old man Logan. So he came from one universe and was there, so that's how you could have two Logans at once. So that's why I think the character you're thinking of could be a time-displaced character. What if they're the only mutant in the 616 and the other mutants are over there, and they get kind of put together, smashed together the same way as like in the calm books, Miles, when he becomes Spider-Man, Peter Parker dies, like in Spider-Verse, he dies. But after Secret Wars, they put the universe those together of like, oh, we found a universe where Peter Parker's still alive and Miles is Spider-Man, that's how we got two. So just because one mutant might be in the 616 does not mean they could not combine the two universes. I think it's messy, but it's just a rumor. I'm just a reporter.
