Mutants Appearing in the MCU
However, the appearance, ofMs. Marvelhas made many confused about what will be the next big reveal of marvel. Not justMs. Marvel, the upcoming series,She-Hulkis also in talks to introduce some new characters and superhumans, in the MCU which can also include mutants.
This is not confirmed yet but according to the trailer of the show, there is a possibility of havingone or two charactersthat are originally portrayed as mutants in comics.
For instance,El Aguila, a mutant with the ability to emit bioelectric blasts from his body is seen in theShe-Hulktrailer. This points towards that along with some new superhumans, the series may also introduce some mutants into the MCU as well.
Is Marvel Studios Ready to Introduce Mutants in the MCU?
However, it is yet not clear if El Aguila will be portrayed as a mutant in the show. Asearlier, in theAge of Ultron, Wanda and Pietro Maximoff were introduced, who were supposed to be mutants originally but rather kept on being superhuman. The same can be done with the new characters introduced in theShe-Hulk.
According to a recent report, Marvel may not actually introduce any new mutant into the MCU till 2025. Still, many believe that the character will not have a major role, and considering this Marvel may introduce him as a mutant only. Nothing is sure until the show is released.
However, one thing that is sure is that it will not be too long when we will see mutants making their entry into the MCU. And with the assumption, that Giancarlo Esposito plays one of the iconic roles in theX-Menit will be worth the wait.
