A New Team of Mutants is Claimed To Be Replacing The MCU’s Avengers
The anticipation surrounding the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe debut of the iconic mutant heroes was enough until there came another rumor that the ensemble team of X-Men mutants will reportedly steal the spotlight of our Avengers. Considering the Phase 5 entries of Marvel, it surely requires a project that can restore the standard of superhero films. These projects won’t be featuring the Marvel Avengers and will play a smaller role than ever.

Since Marvel hasn’t rushed in launching the mutants in the universe, Iman Vellani‘s Ms. Marvel aka Kamala Khan’s existence hints that the mutant genes are still present in the MCU which makes Mister Sinister and other mutants’ debut easier.
