Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The hidden messaging in X-Men movies has always been integral to the Marvel team's identity, but never more so than in 2024. The X-Men were introduced in Marvel Comics in 1963, with adaptations into other media starting as early as 1966. These adaptations culminated in X-Men: The Animated Series, which would be picked up on by one of Marvel Studios' best X-Men adaptations yet: X-Men '97.
X-Men 2's "Gayest Movie" Subtext Explained Close Alan Cumming, who portrayed Kurt Wagner/Nightcrawler in X2: X-Men United, recently told Entertainment Weekly that "The X-Men film I'm in is the gayest film that I've ever done." Cumming, who is bisexual, goes on to state how the movie is an "Allegory about queerness," highlighting how the LGBT+ community is familiar with the feeling of being forced to conceal powerful aspects of themselves.
He also clarified that the allegory is not just limited to the struggle of the LGBT+ community, stating that the allegory could apply to discrimination of every stripe. The ideological differences between Professor X and Magneto are paralleled by those of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, respectively, while police brutality against Black Americans is reflected in the pervasive use of Sentinels in the X-Men mythos.
