Marvel's Avengers: Doomsday Updates X‑Men Costumes After 26 Years

Avengers: Doomsday, slated for a December release as part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s multiverse saga, brings back classic X‑Men characters such as Professor X, Magneto, Cyclops, Beast and Mystica. The film seeks to address a long‑standing fan criticism by redesigning the characters’ costumes to match their original comic‑book appearances.

A key focus is Mystica, portrayed again by Rebecca Romijn. The new look abandons the blue, scaly makeup used in the early Fox films in favor of a white costume with gloves, boots and the signature skull‑belt, aligning with the character’s traditional comic design. This visual shift reflects the MCU’s broader trend toward more faithful adaptations of Marvel’s source material.
