Mutants appearing in the MCU
However, the appearance of Ms. Marvel has left many confused as to what the next big Marvel reveal will be. Not only Ms. Marvelthe upcoming series, She-Hulk is also in talks to introduce new characters and superhumans, into the MCU which may also include mutants.
It’s not confirmed yet but according to the show’s trailer, it’s possible to have one or two characters who are originally portrayed as mutants in the comics.
For instance, El Aguila, a mutant with the ability to emit bioelectric blasts from his body is seen in the She-Hulk trailer. This indicates that alongside new superhumans, the series could also introduce mutants to the MCU.
Is Marvel Studios ready to introduce mutants into the MCU?
However, it is not yet clear if El Aguila will be portrayed as a mutant in the series. As earlier, in the Age of Ultron, Wanda and Pietro Maximoff were introduced, who were originally meant to be mutants but instead went on to be superhuman. The same can be done with the new characters introduced in the She-Hulk.
According to a recent report, Marvel may not introduce a new mutant to the MCU until 2025. Still, many believe the character won’t have a major role, and given that, Marvel may only introduce him as a mutant. Nothing is certain until the show is released.
However, one thing is certain and that is that it won’t be too long before we see mutants making their way into the MCU. And with the hypothesis, that Giancarlo Esposito plays one of the emblematic roles in the x-men it will be worth the wait.
