However, since Disney acquired Fox, the X-Men characters are being integrated into the MCU gradually. Here's the breakdown of all X-Men movies, both pre-MCU and upcoming:

    • Features Deadpool and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine, officially bringing these characters into the MCU.

  2. X-Men '97 (2024) – Upcoming animated series on Disney+ (a continuation of the 1990s X-Men animated show).

Future Plans:

  • Speculation surrounds a new X-Men reboot as part of the MCU’s Phase 6 or 7.

The X-Men are being integrated into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), with significant developments already underway. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige confirmed that mutants will appear sporadically in upcoming projects to build their presence organically before a major X-Men movie is released. This process ensures that the central themes of the X-Men—fighting for a world that fears and hates them—align with the MCU's broader narrative.

Key Updates:

  1. Deadpool 3 (2024) will feature Wolverine and connect to the X-Men universe.
  2. Mutants like Kamala Khan and Namor have already appeared, with more minor mutants teased in upcoming movies like Captain America: Brave New World.
  3. The X-Men reboot will likely tie into Avengers: Secret Wars (2027), paving the way for their full MCU debut

Marvel Studios is gradually integrating the X-Men into the MCU. Here's what we know about this exciting process:

  1. Deadpool 3: Scheduled for 2024, this movie features Deadpool and Wolverine, officially introducing the Fox-era X-Men into the MCU multiverse. It’s expected to explore alternate realities with characters like Professor X and Magneto possibly appearing.

  2. Mutant Cameos: Mutants such as Kamala Khan, Namor, and others have already debuted in projects like Ms. Marvel and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

  3. Avengers: Secret Wars (2027): Kevin Feige confirmed this will lead into a full X-Men reboot in the MCU, paving the way for iconic characters like Cyclops, Wolverine, and Storm.

  4. Mutant Setup: Marvel is building the narrative around societal mistrust of mutants, aligning with the X-Men's traditional theme of fighting prejudice. New characters, including Sabra in Captain America: Brave New World, will help expand mutant lore gradually.

  5. X-Men ’97: An animated continuation of the 1990s series, set for release in 2024, will offer nostalgic fans a glimpse into mutant stories while bridging connections to the MCU
