I wouldn’t mind an in media res situation for the MCU

If this has been discussed to death already — and it probably has, lol — I sincerely apologize. But I just had the thought and what the hell, I’ll throw it out there.

Kinda similar to the original FoX-Men (and hell, the animated series), I think it makes sense for the original 5 and also the Giant Size team to be older and more established and seasoned, while the viewpoint character is someone like Jubilee or Armor or whatever (so long as they are close adaptations to the comics).

There are a lot of interesting possible on-ramps, and just spitballing here, maybe a version of the Siege Perilous throwing them into Battleworld? That would allow the narrative to keep the character list tight but when everything inevitably re-sets, the concept of mutants is established.

Also, not important, but I think it would be cool if Longshot was in there. Explain nothing. Just have him there as an active character.

Who do you think should be the Secret Wars X-Men roster? (I know THIS has been discussed, lol)
