Astonishing X-Men

Film 36 of the official Underworld Productions Marvel Cinematic Universe

Scott Summers meets with a dying Charles Xavier, who tells him it’s time to fully lead the X-Men. At Charles’s funeral, mutants from across the world gather. Magneto delivers a eulogy, but Scott warns him to stay away from the team. The next day, Scott reunites with his team—Wolverine, Colossus, Iceman, Havok, Angel, and Emma Frost. Their mission: Jean Grey, who left for Genosha weeks ago, has gone silent. Upon arrival, they’re greeted by John and James Proudstar, who guide them through the island to a distant castle. There, they find Jean on a throne, flanked by Magneto and Scarlet Witch. Jean is possessed by the Phoenix Force. She orders their arrest. Imprisoned, the team forms a plan: Phoenix is vulnerable to iron, and Wanda could help free Jean. Emma reaches Wanda telepathically. Wanda admits she left Fury because Magneto promised to help find her brother. When told Peter is with Fury, she agrees to help. They launch an attack. Emma distracts Magneto while the others restrain Jean with iron. Wanda uses her power to expel the Phoenix. Jean is freed. Scott tells Emma to release Magneto—but both vanish. Scott thanks the Proudstar brothers. He, Jean, and Logan stand at Charles’s grave. “Magneto has to die.” In a dark hall, Magneto kisses Emma Frost. “I want you to meet someone.” Two figures step forward—Victor... and Mephisto.
