For as long as the MCU has existed, fans have wondered how and when the X-Men would enter the franchise. For years, the fact that Fox owned the rights to make X-Men movies essentially made the scenario impossible. But after Disney acquired Fox in 2019, the X-Men were suddenly fair game.
Their inclusion in the MCU started small, like Evan Peters’ strange fakeout role in WandaVision, but more X-Men kept inching their way into canon. There was Patrick Stewart’s cameo in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and Deadpool & Wolverine added more. Now, Avengers: Doomsday is set to include a whole host of X-Men actors reprising their roles. According to a new report, however, the MCU’s version of the X-Men will be much more fresh-faced.
