The size and scope of something like this, and sending a love letter to what Larry and [Eric and Julia Lewald] did is huge.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Describing what footage they showed, Beau revealed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe showed a clip from the first episode that shows the X-Men going off [on] a mission to confront a new Sentinel threat, and mid-mission they are unexpectedly attacked and have to use their Danger Room practice skills to save themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">There was even an amazing scene of Cyclops leading the X-Men to safety, using his power in a creative way. \u201c[Beau] gave us a really good script and a really good scene and a really good epic moment that makes you go: \u2018that\u2019s why Cyclops is the leader of the X-Men,&#8221; said Castorena. \u201c[It&#8217;s] going really, really well. We\u2019re just in post-production on Season 1 and writing the finale for Season 2,\u201d said Beau. \u201cI cannot be happier.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Interestingly, Castorena revealed something interesting about how they&#8217;re going to convey emotion with Cyclops, who has his eyes covered by his visor: &#8220;What happens when you have a character [like] Cyclops who\u2019s got the visor? What it proposes is how do we get a character with no eye contact through to the audience, and something that we&#8217;ve done are the glints, the reflections on his visor. Whether it&#8217;s a sharp, snappy glint, a slow glint, a nice little twinkle with his smirk\u2026 We find unique ways to use the mutant\u2019s powers to convey their emotion, not just for action\u2019s sake but to also carry a story.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">In related news, Ryan Ting has <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.marvel.com\/articles\/gear\/sdcc-2023-hasbro-x-men-figures\" target=\"_blank\">clear looks<\/a><\/strong> at all the Hasbro action figures, including new looks at <strong>Bishop<\/strong>, <strong>Magneto<\/strong>, and <strong>Wolverine&#8217;s mask<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_antGdd8-8Y?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">A release date for <strong><em>X-Men &#8217;97<\/em><\/strong> is TBA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With Comic Con International taking place, we&#8217;ve been getting new updates on Marvel Studios&#8217; upcoming&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":61903,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[103,5,193],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-61887","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-video","category-x-men-97"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/x-menfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/x-97-team.jpg?fit=900%2C660&ssl=1","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61887","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=61887"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61887\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/61903"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=61887"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=61887"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=61887"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
