I guess the prospect of this suddenly became a lot more feasible.

We're all very anxious to know where things stand with the recent Disney/Fox acquisition, and whether the deal will ultimately yield the result fans have wanted to see for years: The X-Men and The Fantastic Four joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Unfortunately, we're going to have to wait a bit longer for some definitive answers - although Kevin Feige did at least admit that he's relishing the prospect of being able to utilize those characters during an interview with EW:"When and how that deal with Fox finishes and comes together and were told, Hey, now you can start working on it. Now you can start thinking about it, is when well actually start thinking about it. I will say just the notion of having what, frankly, most other companies with [intellectual property] have all along, which is access to all of their characters, that would be fun."There have been rumors that Comcast's involvement in these negotiations could throw a spanner in the works, but Feige's comments do seem to suggest that it's a matter of when, not if, the deal goes through and he can begin thinking about the best way to integrate these beloved characters to the MCU.
In regards to the Avengers movie franchise, I wouldn't want a crossover
In the comics, I have never understood the concept of X-Men existing in the same world as the Avengers and other non-mutant heroes
When X-men and F4 will be integrated into MCU, people will ask what were they doing during Thanos's invasion
[FONT="]Kevin Feige Has Vague Ideas On Integrating X-Men & Fantastic Four Into MCU
on JULY 9, 2018
There are a lot of what-ifs when it comes to Disneys proposed acquisition of Foxs assets. While Disney has plenty of reasons for being interested in Rupert Murdochs empire, the one prevailing thought as far as fans are concerned is what this means for Foxs comic based assets, what becomes of them, and so on. Do Foxs X-Men and Fantastic Four projects continue on in a sort of multiverse? Are they integrated into the Marvel Cinematic Universe somehow? Does everything come on hold and schedules are scheduled, as was the case with Black Panther being pushed back to make room for Spider-Man: Homecoming? Is this a done deal?
Well, no one here or out in the fandom world has the definitive answer and chances are the possibility of the X-Men and Fantastic Four in the Marvel Cinematic Universe isnt the prevailing thought on Fox or Disneys shareholders. And truth be told, it isnt the prevailing thought for Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, either. At least, not at the moment.

In a recent interview with Daily News, Feige revealed that his focus is on here and now. The final Marvel Studios film release of the year, Ant-Man and the Wasp, was just released, and hes focused on that. Beyond this, theres Captain Marvel, the untitled Avengers 4 film, and Spider-Man: Far From Home. Thats what is on his mind at the moment:Not until were given the word, Feige said. I have vague dreams and vague ideas. But right now, bringing to life the 10,000-plus characters that Marvel fully controls is what the gameplan is.Its a fair assessment to make. Why divide time on resources that arent exactly in your possession when you could be focused on those you already do utilize? And with rumblings that Comcast could and probably will make another counter bid, this isnt the done deal that many in MCU fandom believe it is. Will the X-Men and Fantastic Four be in the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Probably at some point, but for now, that isnt Kevin Feiges priority.

Now, to put on the speculation hat for a moment, theres a chance that Feige could be playing coy. After all, scripts go through several revisions and we know a previous version of Captain America: Civil War, for example, had Tony Stark go to Scott Lang instead of Peter Parker. But the final version of that obviously changed. So again, who is to say what will happen or even when it may happen? As these sort of things dont just change overnight. For the time being, the heroes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe exist in their world, while the X-Men and Fantastic Four exist in theirs. Will they meet or collide at some point? Only time will tell what Feige may have in store for that.
How would you want to see the X-Men and Fantastic Four integrated into the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Do you believe that Kevin Feige is being completely truthful as far as vague dreams and vague ideas? Let us know in the comments below.
The most recent Marvel Studios installment, Ant-Man and the Wasp, is now playing in theaters. Foxs X-Men: Dark Phoenix is set to be released on February 14, 2019.

10 X-Men That Need To Appear In The Marvel Cinematic Universe
The X-Men, along with Blade and Spider-Man, helped kick-start the superhero movie boom fans are still enjoying today. And unlike most, the X-Men are still going strong and maintaining the same continuity (with a few minor changes but maintaining actors) as the longest-running superhero franchise around. This year audiences will see a sequel to Deadpool, with X-Men: Dark Phoenix and The New Mutants coming in 2019. Fox is currently working on several Marvel projects, including spin-offs for Gambit, Multiple Man and Kitty Pryde.
Yet one has to wonder: is Fox trying to rush out these films into reality or are these announcement just to make sure the studio appears to be running smoothly in the chance the Disney purchase doesnt go through? If the purchase is made official, Marvel Studios and Disney will more than likely start a new X-Men series to incorporate the characters into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
When the X-Men return home, Marvel has a chance to do something new and fresh with the property. Brighter, more comic accurate costumes, contrasting the mutants as a whole with the wider cinematic universe, but most importantly highlighting certain characters. The X-Men comics have a vast array of iconic and colorful heroes and villains to choose from yet the past X-Men films only focused on a handful of characters. Wolverine, Professor X, Magneto, Mystique, Jean Grey and Beast seemed to be the focus of the filmmakers throughout the two trilogies. Now is the time to highlight other characters (ones that the original film series sidelined) to make these X-Men characters as big of names as Wolverine is to the brand.
These are the ten X-Men that need to be introduced in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Click Next to get started!
seeing that this was madeI'm not going to lie, I'm not particularly a fan of this. I can't see how the X-Men can exist in the same universe as the Avengers and not having shown up yet - at any point.
I suppose the singular way of them existing is if something goes down in Avengers 4 that changes reality so that (from the perspective of a new timeline) the X-Men have always existed - it'll only be a few select characters that notice the difference maybe? In any case, whilst I can accept the F4 in the MCU, I'd rather the X-Men be kept to their own little universe.
Edit: ...alternatively, introduce a multiverse (of sorts) and have the X-Men Universe exist on a different Earth, one without the Avengers. That way, you open up the possibility for crossovers, whilst not destroying (or complicating) established events, characters and timelines.
I don't see how we can simply have them exist; where were they - any of them when Loki attacked NY? Where were they when Hulk was rampaging? Where were they when Ultron nearly caused an extinction level event?I think it's doable and they can alwys what was done with spiderman to degree have them be lead for the younger heroes like the new warriors and those younger heroes that fallowed with some mentors as teacher's and professors for the youner generation in the movie MCU since they are a school. it's the perfect set up there. just have them always exsit. but they doing anddealing with otuer things.
well first and formost they are school and the X-men if were talking about the original 5 and everyone else fallowing them baring wolverine and banshee would be close to peters age. with storm and beast being nearly of getting ready for collage.I don't see how we can simply have them exist; where were they - any of them when Loki attacked NY?

You can argue that many of them wouldn't know about specific events - except for Xavier who would - and he'd hardly stand (or sit?) idly by whilst the world (potentially) burns. He'd have assembled his team, and acted accordingly. This isn't like Inhumans that are scattered and unorganised. Xavier has his team, and they weren't active, so they can't (or at least, shouldn't) exist as it currently stands.
This is why I think a multiverse aspect would be more beneficial moving forward; someone (Jean, Thanos, Wanda?) could accidentally open up a portal or bridge between the two worlds or something. It allows for established lore and consistency to remain in tact without ruining or complicating anything.
Unless I am mistaken, the core group (Storm, Cyclops, Nightcrawler, Beast (etc)) would all be adults at this point; they are/were children during the Vietnam War.well first and formost they are school and the X-men if were talking about the original 5 and everyone else fallowing them baring wolverine and banshee would be close to peters age. with storm and beast being nearly of getting ready for collage.
If Xavier didn't put his team/pupils at risk, he may not have had a team/pupils to look after if the Avengers failed.while it's true Xaver wouldn't hang back, he would put a team that's not ready for this unless forced to and that he saw the Avengers aren't able to fight back with out their help . but in most X-men lore it was more like the X-men were forced in they do have mission statemen to protect the world yes. how ever and truthfully looking back on the books and other medium's of it he wouldn't send any of his Xteam's with out preperation post that nonse after onsalught where the writer's felt the need to say xaiver was an uncaring jerk (with creepy intentions) to his student and mostly used them to get what he wanted.
You don't need to be sorry for having a difference of opinion.I'm sorry but I want a more inclusive MCU.
yeah I don;t think he get's the multi universe or what's called the bubble universe theory that sci fi has been inspired by for years.Unless I am mistaken, the core group (Storm, Cyclops, Nightcrawler, Beast (etc)) would all be adults at this point; they are/were children during the Vietnam War.

You don't need to be sorry for having a difference of opinion.
Edit: For the record too, I have never read a single comic - ever, and the multiverse concept isn't confusing for me. It's just another planet essentially; it could just as easily be the X-Men living on Mars (to over simplify it).
