If I were to do an X-Men movie, I would begin it with a battle between the X-Men and a group known as Alpha Flight as seen in the X-Men comic issues 120 and 121. The reason why I would do this is to draw the audience in on how did we get to this point.
From there I would show a brutal fight between both group of comic characters. Then I would have the camera go dark and lead the audience back to how the X-Men and Alpha Flight came to be. With so many different characters I would break them into groups ranging from the strongest, somewhat strong, and to a level one. Each group can have its own origin story which evolves. Eventually all groups will come together to get what you see in the beginning of the film, X-Men vs Alpha Flight.
Brining the X-Men together of course is Charles Xavier also known as Professor X. Professor X is the most powerful mutant who could manipulate everything through his power of the mind. He could control people, move objects, freeze time etc. Now if I were to cast Charles Xavier it would be Giancarlo Esposito as I talked about in a recent posting.
Now I am not quite sure who should bring Alpha Flight together but I know what caused the fight in the comics was that Alpha Flight wanted Wolverine who was a friend or a member of the X-Men. As a result, this led to a major conflict between both groups.
The overall reason for introducing both groups is that I feel that Marvel is dragging their feet when it is coming to groups such as the X-Men and Alpha Flight. I am 45 years old and when will we ever see these groups engage in combat? Maybe never or maybe when I am 75 going in for heart surgery. It is like come on Marvel get your acts together and start making films starring the mutants!
