Recent speculation suggests that the MCU may be rebooting following Avengers: Secret Wars, which could be great news for the MCU's upcoming X-Men.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Marvel Studios' official X-Men team may have the perfect introduction after the suspected reboot of the MCU after Avengers: Secret Wars. Although Marvel Studios acquired the rights to mutant characters from Marvel Comics, including the X-Men, after Disney's acquisition of 20th Century Fox in 2019, the team still hasn't made it's MCU debut. Several mutant characters have made their way to the MCU, including Ms.
Recent speculation suggests that Avengers: Secret Wars may reboot the MCU, establishing a new timeline after a suspected incursion destroys the MCU's multiverse as audiences know it. Reboots are a popular storytelling technique in superhero comic books, as they allow writers to practically start from scratch, introducing a new continuity to avoid confusion, introduce new characters, or bring back previously dead heroes.
The X-Men Are Marvel's Biggest Continuity Challenge The introduction of the X-Men into a franchise already as well-established as the MCU is an almost impossible task for Marvel Studios, particularly since most of Marvel Comics' mutants have intricate backstories that are directly tied to major historical events.
Why The MCU's Reset Is The Best Solution For The X-Men A reboot of the MCU isn't expected to be a complete overhaul, as many actors would be assumed to be reprising their roles, and the events of the MCU's prior stories likely wouldn't be forgotten. This same thing occurred in Marvel Comics' 2015 Secret Wars event, which has led many to ponder whether Avengers: Secret Wars could realistically pull it off by combining one or more universes into a new timeline.
Bringing mutants and the X-Men into the MCU following a reboot means there will be no need for Marvel Studios to explain where they've been at all, and no other characters would need to be retconned into mutants. This was almost the case for Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch, and even Mark Ruffalo's Bruce Banner in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, which would have been a controversial choice.
