No, it wasnt, and it still wont be if you repeat it again.

It's been documented, dude. Saying it's not doesn't change the past.

I hope the reuse McAvoy. Him and Fassbender were the highlights of the rebooted movies, and they're getting old enough that they could play the regular not-young versions of the characters well into the future.

That dynamic came about almost two decades after the characters were first created, when Chris Claremont took over writing for X-Men in the early 80s.

Gary Oldman.

Claremont says: "Theres a lot of talk online now that Magneto stands in for Malcolm X and Xavier stands in for Martin Luther King...but for me, being an immigrant white, to make that analogy felt incredibly presumptuous" Claremont states. "An equivalent analogy could be made to Menachem Begin as Magneto, evolving through his life from a terrorist in 1947 to a winner of the Nobel Peace Prize 30 years later."

That was the inspiration behind the characters when the X-Men debuted in 1966.

No, it wasn't. The X-men when they debuted were little more than Fantastic Four rip-offs that avoided being labeled as such, by being by the same creators as the Fantastic Four. The racism allegory didn't really become a major part of their story until Chris Claremont's run, after the release of Giant Size X-Men 1, in 1975. Also the X-Men debuted in 1963, not 1966.
