The current major event in the X-Men series is called “Hellfire Gala,” a celebration for mutants that will continue across different series for 12 issues, after which the X-Men’s story will undergo a revolutionary transformation. The White Queen, as the head of the Hellfire Company, has initiated this gala, inviting not only mutants but also the Fantastic Four and the Avengers, with some elite humans also able to join the event, although there are still some ambitious individuals among them.In the cinematic universe, when the X-Men’s story will be rebooted has always been a mystery, but now the writers have hinted at a key detail in the comics:
Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige appears in the X-Men comics, specifically in issue 21 of “X-Men V5,” which is the latest issue of the X-Men comic.“Let’s talk about your story?”“Well… that’s a long story!”Please note that Cyclops’s outfit is a brand new uniform prepared for the Hellfire Gala, and their dialogue signifies Marvel’s reboot of the X-Men, which will also reshape each character.
Why Cyclops?Actually, this is because in the X-Men comics, Cyclops, while not the most popular character, is generally considered the main character of the X-Men comics. Whether in major events or other comics, Cyclops is regarded as one of the top leaders of the X-Men, and he was previously a member of the Quiet Council of mutants along with Jean Grey.
The X-Men want to showcase their strength through the Hellfire Gala, but this event also becomes a great opportunity for some opposing forces. According to previous storylines, Mystique will incite internal strife, which could even lead to the complete dissolution of the mutant nation.
After the Hellfire Gala, a new major event will begin in September, and “X-Men V5” will come to a close. Jonathan Hickman has laid the groundwork for the X-Men’s storyline for two years, and now other writers can continue his ideas and thoughts.
So in July, the X-Men will welcome the sixth volume of the long series, with the writer being Gerry Duggan. The mutants need to form a brand new X-Men team, consisting of Jean Grey, Rogue, Laura Kinney, Cyclops, Synch, and Northstar.
From the preview video, it seems that this time the X-Men will face some kind of alien mechanical hybrid, and they will once again save the world from a crisis.
