X-Men Will Reportedly Go Animated With Marvel Studios

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is in the age of expanding its small screen efforts, and one approach is launching in the animated realm. 

What If...? served as the franchise's first animated venture, introducing stories within the Multiverse. The show received mixed reviews, but it still effectively set up the premise of alternate realities running tangent to prime MCU canon.

In the past months, mounting evidence proved that Marvel Studios is not done with animated projects. Dana Vasquez-Eberhardt, an executive at Marvel Studios, previously teased that What If...? will be "the first of many amazing animation series," hinting that more are on the way. 

Marvel Studios president for physical and post-production, visual effects, and animation production Victoria Alonso further teased the expansion of the MCU's animated branch, confirming that  "there will be more to come" while also expressing her excitement. 

Now, a new rumor has emerged about an exciting new addition to the MCU's animated slate. 

X-Men's MCU Animated Debut

Geeks WorldWide shared that an X-Men animated series is in development at Marvel Studios for Disney+, and it is set to begin production in 2023. 

Entertainment scooper KC Walsh previously hinted that the mutant-led series was in development, with him teasing that the project is "f***ing insane." Back then, Walsh pointed out that he wasn't fully certain of this rumor, as he would be "reaching out to more people" to seek further confirmation and clarification on the project.
