Part 6/8:
There is considerable concern that future live-action adaptations may stray from the established roster, possibly omitting fan-favorite characters like Gambit, Rogue, and others, or rebranding them to avoid cultural controversies. Terms like "X-People" or "X-Persons" have been floated as a way to modernize or de-emphasize gendered language, which could alienate long-time fans.
The hope remains that Disney will recognize the power of nostalgia and deliver a faithful adaptation, perhaps modeled after the X-Men animated series. Such an approach could cement a successful reintroduction of the mutants, blending classic designs with modern storytelling.
