It looks like Matt Nix’s X-men TV series is moving forward, with Marvel TV head honcho Jeph Loeb stating "As an X-Men fan, and ultimately, what Matt brings to it is that the X-Men are always stories about family. That's where they start, that's where they live." Fox CEO Dana Walden added “There will be some iconic characters but mostly this is about a new family.
