‘Endgame’ writers say only one of the X-Men would’ve lived to fight Thanos

"Avengers: Endgame" is officially the biggest movie of all time but if the Russo brothers had their way, it would have been even more epic. In a recent interview, the "Endgame" director duo spoke about what the movie would have looked like if the X-Men existed in the MCU and which of the mutant crew would have survived Thanos' snap at the end of "Infinity War."

The Russo Brothers said that all of the X-Men would have been wiped away when Thanos snapped the Infinity Gauntlet except for one: Wolverine.

"I'd love to see a fiercely motivated Wolverine going up against Thanos," Joe Russo told IGN.

This shouldn't come as too much of a surprise, as Wolverine has long been the most beloved member of the X-Men and it would have been truly amazing to get to watch him team up with the Avengers to take down Thanos.

"It's not our job to give the people what they want, it's to give them what they need," Joe added.

Of course, this was only able to exist in the Russo's minds, as the X-Men were under the umbrella of 21st Century Fox. But with Disney acquiring Fox earlier this year, it seems that the door is now open for Wolverine, Professor X, and the rest of the X-Men crew joining the MCU. And while it may be too late for Wolverine and Thanos to face-off for the fate of the universe, we would still be excited to see what the Russo Brothers can do with these legendary characters.
