A line-up of classicX-Menhave been reimagined as characters from traditional Disney animation in stunning fan art. Marvel’s famed mutant team are among the most popular inMarvel’s pantheon. They are yet to make their appearance in theofficial MCU timeline, but following Disney’s acquisition of Fox, they are back under Marvel’s remit, leading many to wonder what a Disney X-Men line-up would look like. This has since been brought to life in vivid fan art.
Artisteroz.aihastransformed several classicX-Mencharacters into Disney counterparts. The impressive imagery includes Wolverine, Cyclops, Gambit, Rogue, Magneto, Nightcrawler, Jean Gray, Mystique, Storm and Beast. Each of these has been given a distinctly Disney-style design, drawing from the pre-CGI era of Disney’s animated history. They bear a resemblance to several familiar Disney characters from movies likeThe Hunchback of Notre-Dame,The Lion King, andPeter Pan, among others.
What The X-Men Disney Art Means For Marvel
Whilethe MCU’sX-Menisn’t going to be an animated Disney movie, these fan images proffer the closest insight into the pending adaptation. The only rendition of the X-Men from Disney has been inX-Men ’97, which was a continuation of the classic 1990sX-Men: The Animated Seriesand, as such, recreated the character designs. This means thateroz.ai’s images are among the first to depict what theX-Mencharacters could look like under Disney’s remitfollowing the acquisition of Fox.
Though the MCU’sX-Menwill not look like these images, they are a fun “what if…?” in place of actual designs. It also allows fora crossover between Disney’s two greatest cinematic achievements. Firstly, their history as the most successful animation house in history, and then the biggest cinematic franchise ever in live-action.
Our Take On The X-Men Art
The Disney-styleX-Menart is certainly impressive and attractive. Each is tailored to a specific Disney character, with somesubtly reflecting character archetypes in satisfying ways. Mystique, the beguiling, morally ambiguous mutant terrorist, resemblesPeter Pan’sTinker Bell, an ill-tempered albeit benevolent fairy. Beast, the furry and sophisticated scientist, is recast as Scar fromThe Lion King, who is famed for his queer-coded urbane refinement, despite his beastly deeds.
The MCU’s Latest X-Men Debut Tease Makes One Avengers 6 Theory Even More Likely Now
Kevin Feige has shared a major update on the X-Men’s MCU arrival, and it bodes well for Avengers: Secret Wars and the end of the Multiverse Saga.
Interestingly, as these images are based on a bygone era of Disney designs, they have replicated an aspect that also plagued earlyX-Mencomics - preposterously unfeasible body types. Obviously, both mediums allow for a certain degree of exaggeration and artistic license, and this is certainly not a criticism. However, it isan interesting parallel between the two seemingly disparate franchisesthat have been brought together through thisX-Menfan art.
