The Next Generation...X (My X-Men Spin-Off Pitches)

Following up on my pitch for an X-Men film, here are the other projects that would follow that film and lead to my next MCU X-Men film!

Marvel's Wolverine
Essentially a prequel to my X-Men film. The reason Wolverine doesn't do much in said X-Men Pitch is because he's headlining his own trilogy. This takes place in 2005, we see Logan as an agent of Canada on a mission involving Weapon X, Sabretooth, and The Hulk. By the end he leaves to join The Xavier School. For the full film here's the podcast we did on it: https://panelbiter.podbean.com/e/the-panel-pitch-marvels-wolverine/

The New Mutants Season One
If my X-Men films are all about the heroes, this show is all about the students. Essentially a drama/action TV show to replace "Agents of SHIELD", this show would follow a handful of young mutants as they struggle with not only their powers and evil villains, but also with family, social life, and their pasts. Kitty Pryde/Shadowcat, Jubilee, Anole, Hellion, and Prodigy would be the troubled young mutants we'd focus on, along with some X-Men who play more of a teacher role like Banshee, Iceman, and Angel. This show would have a lot of hints to other films and future events, but would put the next generation of X-Men in the forefront. By the way, the school is more of a Training Institution. So the kids would go to their local High School and then come to the mansion for three hours to learn and socialize. 

Gambit Season One
This series would be on Netflix, Hulu, or that Disney Streaming App they're working on. "Gambit" follows the Ragin' Cajun himself as he is hired to steal a young woman named Rogue. He's hunted by the likes of The Mob, a familiar furry foe, and a certain blue shapeshifter. For the full story here's a podcast link: https://panelbiter.podbean.com/e/the-panel-pitch-gambit/

Wolverine II
Wolverine's sequel sees him and his X-Men-in-Training Kitty Pryde/Shadowcat traveling to Japan in search of his long-forgotten wife. However, they only come to find Yakuza, a stranger with Wolverine's powers, and a tragic memory Logan must be ready to face. This personal journey between student and master can be fully experienced through this link: https://panelbiter.podbean.com/e/the-panel-pitch-wolverine-ii/

Gambit Season Two
This time around Gambit is hired by the rich and scandalous Hellfire Club to rescue their former associate-who is turn out to be Angel of The X-Men-who has been kidnapped. His mission will have him face off against fellow thief-foir-hire Fantomex, and rub elbows with a psychic ninja named Psylocke. With experimentation being commenced on the poor winged mutant, Gambit and his new friends don't have much time.

Psylocke Season One
Spinning off of her appearance in "Gambit", Psylocke would be another streamed series following Betty Braddock during her early days as a psychic spy for M-13 in England. We see her go from a run-of-the-mill desk jockey to a specially-trained, psychic assassin. We see hunt down the assassin known as Slaymaster, we see how she met Angel, and we meet her secretive brother Brian and his multiversal organization. What lies ahead for Psylocke can't be predicted. But it can be fought.

The New Mutants Season Two
X-23 is introduced as a runaway Weapon X project being chased by cybernetic kidnappers named Nanny and Orphan Maker. Emma Frost-former member of The Hellfire Club appears as a new teacher, and the kids discover their favorite pop-star Dazzler is a mutant herself! With new additions like Sunfire's sister Leyu, the healing mutant Elixir, and we see Colossus' sister finally gain her mutant powers. Can The New Mutants keep X-23 out of harms way and from causing harm?
More to come after my next X-Men film pitch!
Thanks for reading!
