Black X-Men Deserve Better; Can the MCU Treat Them Right? Twitter 0 comments Since 1963, the X-Men have inspired multiple generations of comic and TV fans. With 20th Century Fox in 2000, X-Men found a larger platform within movies. They gave life to characters like Professor X, Jean Grey, Cyclops, Wolverine, Rogue, and Storm. However, Halle Berry and the likes of other Black actors blessing the X-Men universe with their talents have found themselves sidelined, stereotyped, and underused over two decades worth of movies. Now, with a new home in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it’s difficult to envision Black characters in X-Men getting on-screen justice.
