Ifilimu yokuqala evela "bantu ye-x" yapapashwa ngo-2000, ibeka isiqalo sesona sithuba semali kunye nefilimu ende kwimbali. Ukuhlonitshwa kwesikhumbuzo seminyaka engama-20 yomfanekiso wokuqala, umgwebi wendima ye-CyClopa James Marsden wanika udliwanondlebe ne-cinemadend, yabelana ngayo oovimba bakhe bohlobo lwe-superhero kunye nabo :
Ndicinga ukuba sonke sinethemba lokuba le projekthi iya kuba yile nto xa wayeya kuthi kamva. Sasisazi ukuba amandla akhe ayekhulu, kuba emva kwakhe kukulili kwindalo yonke yabantu bakaX. La magorha aqanjwa emva ngo-1962 okanye ngo-1963, akunjalo? Ngexesha ebesiqala ukwenza ifilimu yokuqala, abantu be-x yayisele imbali yeminyaka engamashumi amane kunye nabalandeli abaninzi.
Siye saqonda ukuba kufuneka senze yonke into ukuba ifilimu yethu yefilimu ihlala ifanelekile iminyaka emininzi. Ndandinethemba, kodwa andilindelanga ukuba onke amalungu amatsha aya kumka. Oko kukuthi, bendicinga ukuba ukukhutshwa kwamalungu ama-4-5 kuya kuphumelela, kodwa ekugqibeleni bajika baba yi-10 okanye kunjalo. Luhlobo oluthile lobuhlanya, kodwa lupholile kakhulu.
Kule nto, uMarsdin wongeze ukuba unelunda kakhulu ngokuba yinxalenye ye-"X-Man", nangona engazange avele kuzo zonke iifilimu zeFrance. Ngokutsho komlingisi, lowo la mava ayeyinto eyahlukileyo.
