The Disney/Fox deal is expected to close and be confirmed later this month. This give Marvel Studios total authority in bringing the X-Men into the MCU, imagine the monetary possibilities … they’re endless. I presume crossover projects are being planned.
A credible source has told We Got This Covered that an all-out “Avengers vs. X-Men” movie is currently “on the cards” and that Marvel Studios “will begin building to it” once the merger is complete, which suggests that the X-Men may have a few stepping stone projects leading up to the big crossover moment.
I have spoken to my contact at Disney and, let’s just say, he didn’t deny it, adding that it was “obvious” that Disney would head in that direction as Thor, Captain America and Iron Man are all being retired post-”Avengers: Endgame” — Disney needs to have some “big name” superheroes to play their cards with, Black Panther and Captain Marvel are just not in the same league. And so, the X-Men are the obvious money-grabbing title they need for the next MCU phase.
