Under new management
Seems like Charles did actually have a plan set aside that included who his chosen successor would be in the event he could not lead the X-Men himself. We see a shot of Magneto in Xavier’s office holding The Last Will & Testament of Charles Xavier. Turns out he left everything to Magneto, and now the Xavier Institute and the X-Men are under the leadership of Magneto. This is something pulled directly from the comics. During his time as leader, he takes on the name Michael Xavier and eventually becomes a mentor to the New Mutants. The X-Men (decked out in some truly incredibly ‘90s basketball attire) do not seem happy about this.
I can’t wait to see what wacky adventures they all get up to together when X-Men ‘97 releases on March 20. Is there anything you caught in the trailer that we missed? Let us know!
