Marvel’s X-Men
are primed to make their official MCU debut sooner rather than later, with their eventual re-introduction to the live-action space being a much-anticipated affair that will hopefully inject some much-needed life into this struggling series of superhero films. Luckily, new MCU-ready X-Men character posters have arrived, designed and illustrated by a member of the fanart community, teasing what could be in store once these iconic mutants arrive back on the big screen.
A series of images uploaded to Reddit’s r/xmen channel, artist Uzuri Art (u/uzuriartonline) is no stranger to creating impressive artwork that the nerd community can appreciate, with these X-Men pieces being the latest in a long line of inspired illustrations that show off just how talented Uzuri can be.
Drawing other MCU-related art featuring Gambit from Deadpool and Wolverine, Matt Murdock from Daredevil: Born Again, and even a quick sketch of Marvel Rivals’ version of Mr. Fantastic, Uzuri has a far more realistic and detailed art style, making them the perfect fit for creating these particular poster designs.

Technically making their debut in last year’s Deadpool and Wolverine, where Wolverine, Gambit, and X-23 were officially inducted into the MCU, the true introduction of the X-Men is still a ways away, with the general consensus being that by the time Avengers: Secret Wars releases, fans will have a better idea of what the future holds for their favorite mutants. And though it’s unclear as to who the “main” X-team’s roster will consist of, it’s safe to say that Xavier’s original five mutants — Cyclops, Beast, Iceman, Angel, and Jean Grey — will at the very least make appearances in some form.

The founder of the X-Men has lost his star pupil forever, but has Cyclops already been replaced by Professor Charles Xavier’s latest pet project?
Illustrating over a dozen posters that feature some of the most popular X-Men of all time, Uzuri begins with highly detailed sketches of Jean Grey, Gambit, Magneto, Jubilee, Nightcrawler, Forge, Professor X, Bishop, Cyclops, and Storm, with the vibrancy of Uzuri’s colors making each character’s iconic costume pop. Following these images with another post that brings Beast, Wolverine, and a second version of Storm to life, it’s the large “X” slashed across each poster that ties these designs together, making it easy to imagine a simple X-Men logo and a future release date scrawled at the bottom of each design.

It remains to be seen which mutant hero will make the cut when the X-Men make their official debut in the MCU, but with talented creators like Uzuri Art (u/uzuriartonline) consistently finding unique new ways to use their artistic talents to make the wait for the team’s next live-action appearance bearable, fans shouldn’t be surprised if even more inspired fanart pops up online as we march ever closer to the X-Men’s still unannounced film reboot. Regardless of when that time comes, the X-Men are in good hands with the fanart community, especially after seeing impressive artwork, such as this!
