Created by writer-editor <strong>Stan Lee<\/strong> and artist <strong>Jack Kirby<\/strong>, the legendary comic has connected emotionally with fans worldwide. The big screen franchise was just as popular, with 13 films being released over 20 years, which included WOLVERINE, DEADPOOL and THE NEW MUTANTS spin-offs. With the film rights now at Marvel Studios and The Walt Disney Company, a Marvel Cinematic Universe reboot is in the pipeline. What comes next for the The Mutants?
