Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The show exists in a timeline where the X-Men have mysteriously vanished—originally planned to connect to Logan's future, but Fox's corporate chaos killed any resolution.
The Strucker surname references Baron von Strucker, a Nazi HYDRA villain from comics—making the family's mutant heritage deliciously ironic given their anti-mutant father.
