Marvel is teasing the future of the X-Men in the new “Destiny of X” trailer, which you can watch below! “Destiny of X” is the next big event storyline in Marvel’s “House of X” reboot of the X-Men franchise, one that will build on the previous event series “Inferno”, as well as the current two-part “X Lives of Wolverine” and “X Deaths of Wolverine” event series, which has been the closest comparison to Jonathan Hickman’s original House of X/Powers of X reboot storyline.
The trailer hints at how the X-Men’s new mutant nation of Krakoa will react to the return of Irene Adler, aka Destiny. Up until now, Krakoa has been the embodiment of Moria Mactaggart, Prof. X and Magneto’s secret agenda to control the timeline of mutant evolution. Now Destiny has disrupted all that, offering mutants possible new paths to a different future (or futures).

Explaining his own plans for Destiny in an exclusive interview with EW, Gillen said, “IMMORTAL X-MEN for me is this love story of two women across time. Saying that Destiny is Mystique’s moral compass is too simple, because that implies that morals are important. But she is the object Mystique orients herself around. That’s how I see it. She is of fundamental importance to Mystique, and vice versa.”
Destiny of X begins on March 30th. You can purchase the various books of the line from Marvel Comics.
