Deadpool proved that R-rated comic book movies could still make a ton of money at the box office, with audiences really responding to Wade Wilson’s fourth-wall breaking shenanigans.
SHADOWCAT X MEN DAYS OF FUTURE PAST MOVIE
It’s a less flashy ability than Wolverine’s claws and Storm’s weather manipulation, and could lend itself to a much different type of X-Men flick.ĭespite being in the comic book movie business for over 19 years, the X-Men franchise has recently shown a penchant for pushing the boundaries of the genre. This gives her stealth skills, and she’s also able to break machinery by phasing through them.
Shadowcat has the power to dematerialize her body and “phase” through objects and people. That was certainly the case in the X-Men movies, although she was decidedly more adult in the apocalyptic future of Days of Future Past. Kitty is typically the youngest member of the X-Men, and brings a naivety and youth to the group. Kitty Pryde/ Shadowcat is a fan favorite X-Man from the comics, and one who has gone through a ton of transformations since she arrived on the page in 1980. And Kitty's set of mutant abilities are unique and less action-heavy, giving Miller and Brian Michael Bendis the chance to bring a new type of superhero movie to theaters. While Shadowcat seems like a somewhat unlikely X-Man to have her own spinoff movie, Tim Miller has already proven he's got the vision to bring a lesser known chacter to the forefront with Deadpool. It's all a mystery, although the hardcore fans would no doubt like to see Page get a meatier role in a third X-Men movie. Because if Tim Miller is developing an origin story for Kitty, then they might want to recast, and have a younger actress play the character before/during her schooling at Xavier's. Page has already expressed her interest in returning to her mutant role, although she hadn't been approached by anyone. Obviously the most obvious choice would be Ellen Page, who already played Kitty twice in live-action. Now the other question is, who could star in the project? Marvel fans have been eager to see the X-Men included in the massive shared universe, although the rights to the character were split among Disney and Fox. If the developing Kitty Pryde movie is green lit after the merger is completed, then it has the potential to connect to the greater MCU.
