RUMOR: Marvel Studios could also be creating an X Academy TV collection for Disney+ that may tie in with their new X-Males film
Yesterday, we discovered that Marvel Studios has “paused” the event of three reveals they had been planning for the Disney+ streaming service: Nova, which gave the impression to be comparatively far alongside within the growth course of, with Edward Allen Bernero within the showrunner place and casting rumors swirling; Unusual Academy, which was anticipated to star Benedict Wong as his Sorcerer Supreme character Wong, working a college in New Orleans to teach younger people with magical talents; and Terror, Inc., which I don’t assume anybody had heard rumors about earlier than, a present that may have centered on an antihero known as Terror, “who possesses the ability to incorporate the body parts of others into his own form, gaining their memories and abilities.” Through the newest episode of their podcast The Sizzling Mic, business scooper Jeff Sneider and critic John Rocha mentioned the information that these initiatives had been paused – and Sneider took the chance to carry up a RUMOR he has heard: Marvel is engaged on a mutant collection known as X Academy.
Sneider stated, “I had heard about Strange Academy, that there was some sort of writers room being assembled for it, and I was keeping that under my hat. … I heard something else from a different source, who I had asked about the Academy. They said, ‘Oh, I’ve heard about the Academy show.’ But it wasn’t Strange Academy. They said that there’s going to be an X Academy show. They sort of said it was going to potentially lead into X-Men. Someone else said, ‘I’d be surprised if they started doing X-Men shows before the movie,’ and that it would probably be a spin-off of the movie, so it would come after. Either way, both of them seem to be of the opinion that there was in fact an X-Men show in the works about X Academy and young mutants.” This may be a live-action present in regards to the coaching of younger mutants.
The hypothesis is that Unusual Academy collection may need been put aside since HBO is shifting forward with a Harry Potter TV collection, so Marvel / Disney+ didn’t wish to trouble doing their very own “young individuals with magical abilities” present. Sneider does consider that Nova will nonetheless occur, it has in all probability simply been “paused” so Marvel can work on it subsequent yr – and the pause may need occurred to attend for room within the schedule of Brandon Sklenar (1923), who’s supposedly the best choice to play the lead character, Richard Rider. Scooper Daniel Richtman reported that the Nova collection would “thrust Rider into the role of rebuilding the Nova Corps, just as Annihilus and his Annihilation Wave were invading, threatening to take over the universe. Rider would lead a squad of fellow Novas, including Sam Alexander and a handful of original characters in their 20s. Glenn Close and John C. Reilly were slated to return as their Guardians of the Galaxy characters.” Henry Cavill may need been within the working to play Annihilus.
As for X Academy, SuperHeroHype notes that “the Academy X students made their first appearance in the 23rd edition of New X-Men (developed by Craig Kyle, Chris Yost, Mark Brooks, and Paul Pelletier). The original roster comprised the likes of Armor, Anole, the Cuckoo Triplets, and more. These characters were being developed to be part of the main X-Men and even lead it someday. The team went into relative obscurity after the Academy X era ended, but regained prominence following the Fall of X relaunch.” In fact, the TV collection may have a really totally different line-up of characters than the comedian e-book supply materials that impressed it.
