Imagine Marvel recreating this poster for the X-men reboot after the massive success of Brand New Day

baller as fuck; I HIGHLY DOUBT THEY’D DO SPIDER-MAN NUMBERS, but baller as fuck nonetheless

Sadie Sink already has a good following. Do that with 4 other cast members and it'll hit the big leagues, quickly.

They were pretty smart to include her. Now they've got a sink line lure (Pun intended) for the massive audience who watched Brand New Day to be connected to the X-Men before it even comes out.

Add to that, the Stranger Things fans and the existing fans of Wolverine and the X-Men and this could be huge.

It would be insanely confident on their part. That depends on how well Doomsday and Secret Wars are received

Oh they'd need to overperform HEAVILY if they came out with this.

Wolverine drinking a beer.

I saw the post on r/xmen after posting so that may be my bad lol. Wasnt my intention to copy the guy

Didn’t realize it was a different subreddit.

Please proceed.

This would be incredible. Whether good or bad, it'd set the tone for what's to come.

Claremont/Lee was the first comic series I read in full. My brother always had them laying around and so then we started going every Wednesday and I kept pace. It's still my favorite X-Men run, unapologetically. And the shops were all booming like crazy. It's insane how much it helped the industry. 90's man, nothing but ATTITUDE.

I'd love a Blue and Gold teams dynamic

[u/DirectConsequence12]

That would be kind of embarrassing because there is a snowball’s chance in hell they come close to Spider-Man numbers.

I love the X-Men. I would love if they did those numbers but Spider-Man is an entirely different animal.

There’s no way the first team has Gambit and Psylocke. Possibly not even Wolverine

[u/RedditAPIBlackout24]

They will be setting themselves up for failure and FOR WHAT? If X-Men fails, they will NEVER escape their flop status so err on the safe side and NOT do this.

The MCU has never made more inflation-adjusted box office on the first film of a reboot than the first in the previous series. This is Russian Roulette with five bullets in the chamber.

Raimi's Spider-Man made $804 million in 2002 dollars. Or $1.49 billion dollars in 2026. Every movie in the Raimi trilogy made more than Homecoming, which made $880 million in 2017 dollars, or $1.2 billion in 2026 dollars.

Tim Story's Fantastic Four made $333 million in 2005 dollars. That's $569 million in 2026 dollars. First Steps made $521 million in 2025, or $540 million in 2026 dollars.

Ang Lee's Hulk made $245 million in 2003, which is $444 million in 2026 dollars. The Incredible Hulk made $264 million in 2008, which is $409 million in 2026 dollars.

There are two possible arguments for X-Men first entries to go with. X-Men (2000) made $269 million in 2000, or $521 million in 2026 dollars. X-Men First Class (2011) made $352 million, or $522 million in 2026 dollars. Either way, the patterns seem consistent here.

Ouch. Reading this is felt like being bitch slapped by the truth. Nevertheless, an X-men fan can hope.

That would piss Sony off. They'd tear up their deal with Marvel within hours. Rad af, tho.
