"There was a time when the mere mention of the term mutant in the Marvel Cinematic Universe was frowned upon. Rival studio 20th Century Fox owned the rights to the X-Men and with it the whole idea of a parallel branch of humanity."
"This week saw the record-breaking release of the debut teaser trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and it was immediately clear that something had changed. We all know the X-Men are coming to the MCU."
"The new promo sees Peter Parker making his way in a world where nobody knows who he is. Ned and MJ are oblivious to the fact he's Spider-Man, and don't even remember his face."
"It's as if David Cronenberg has suddenly touched down in the MCU, bringing with him several deeply unpleasant ideas about what it means when human DNA starts experimenting with alternative arrangements."
The Marvel Cinematic Universe previously avoided the concept of mutants due to rights issues with 20th Century Fox. Recently, the debut teaser trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day indicates a shift, suggesting the arrival of mutants in the MCU. Peter Parker navigates a world where his identity is forgotten, and he exhibits signs of mutation, such as organic webs and altered physical traits. This change hints at a deeper exploration of human DNA and mutation within the MCU's narrative framework.
