Casey, Brian, and Chris each come up with an individual list of team members for the X-Men. These members include Professor X, Magneto, Wolverine, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Storm, Beast, and one other character of their choice. These characters will fit into the MCU and eventually meet the characters that are already within the franchise.
