It seems like this fall, possibly in the new Jonathan Hickman-written but still-unnamed X-Men series coming in September. And when they did, Mystique should do everything possible to destroy their works. And apparently the only mutant precog that anybody cares about enough to push for is Destiny, the late wife of Mystique.įurthermore, Destiny warned Mystique that someday people would refuse to resurrect her. They’ve quietly prevented any mutant precogs from being given the gift of mutant resurrection. See, Krakoa is all a part of Professor X and Magneto’s plan with the reincarnating mutant Moira MacTaggert, who holds a grudge against Destiny and all precognitive mutants.

It’s part society pages of superhero lives, part reading recommendations, part “look at this cool art.” There may be some spoilers. Welcome to Monday Funnies, Polygon’s weekly list of the books that our comics editor enjoyed this past week. What else is happening in the pages of our favorite comics? We’ll tell you. And if she can’t have that, she’ll burn Krakoa to the ground. This Inferno has been simmering since the beginning of the Dawn of X era, and will doubtless have its own twists and turns, but it still has the rage of a woman wronged at the center of it: Mystique wants her wife, Destiny, resurrected. The original Inferno was set ablaze when Madelyne Pryor - a clone of Jean Grey and Cyclops’ ex-wife - made a deal with a devil, transforming her into the Goblin Queen and New York City into her own hellscape, all for the goal of taking revenge on the man who’d abandoned her and her baby, the woman he’d replaced her with, and all of their friends. That is, Inferno, the epic and beloved 1989 crossover. Or, to quote Ghostbusters, "Don't cross the streams.This week’s X-Men #20 set up a heck of a tease for X-Men fans by announcing that “Inferno” is coming soon. While this may be interesting from a pure commercial point of view, writing an appealing story for such an undertaking surely is tricky, and chances are that, in the end, both Marvel and Star Wars fans would be upset with the outcome, because, as Feige has said, “I don’t think there’s any reason for it." Star Wars was also included in Steve Rogers' list of modern phenomena to catch up on at the beginning of Captain America: The Winter Soldier.Īgain, all these are not absolute road-blockers, and as Disney owns both Marvel and Star Wars, it’s possible that someone someday could come up with the idea: let’s see what happens if we combine the two biggest franchises in the history of cinema into one movie.

But another obstacle is that the MCU films have several times referenced Star Wars as part of modern pop-culture: Peter Parker used The Empire Strikes Back as an inspiration for how to take down Ant-Man in Captain America: Civil War, and he helped his friend Ned build a Lego version of the Death Star in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Still, you could work around all this quite easily, as time is relative and Marvel has the multiverse, so the stories could go anywhen and anywhere. Star Wars also take place in a “galaxy far, far away”, while the events of the MCU happen in the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy. The Star Wars timeline is “a long time ago.” The Marvel films mainly take place in the current time, with some exceptions such as Captain America: The First Avenger or Captain Marvel. But even then, it is just a matter of decades and not centuries. But even without Feige’s statement, there are some strong indications that such a crossover wouldn’t happen: So Captain Marvel could encounter a Star Destroyer. Of course, such a crossover would be doable – the MCU is comic-based, where anything goes and a lot of the action does take place in outer space while Star Wars is space fantasy. I don’t think there’s any reason for it." "If you’d ask me if anything we’re talking about right now was in the realm of possibility 20 years ago, I would’ve said, ‘I don’t think so.' But I really don’t think so. With Feige now having a foot in both franchises, he was recently asked by Yahoo if the MCU could cross over with Star Wars. This was his answer:
