Kevin Feige: A 'Very Long Time' Before X-Men in the MCU (NOT part of the five-year Phase 4 plan)
- Thread starter ManaByte
- Start date
Called it!
Give the mutants time to rest before slowly phasing them back in.
Probably why the best bet is to start building them up separately with Deadpool, given that's unlikely to be absent through the duration. Not a focus or anything major, but a way to tease the characters and cast for the eventual team debut.
I mean I rather them get integrated first then the X-Men.
I'm fine with this simply because there are most likely so many deep cut superheroes they can still make into interesting films. If they had the XMen all along I doubt we would've gotten GotG or AntMan.
Its gonna be the same thing. At least 5 years before FF4 is introduced. They already have everything planned that theyre gonna do for now. Its for the best. The worst thing you can do is try to shoehorn in xmen and FF4.
If I don't see Silver Surfer by the time the next Avengers movie is announced Feige is canceled.
Honestly, needed
Two or three years before coming off the back of the Fox years didn't really seem like a long enough pause. Jackman, Stewart, Fassbender, McAvoy et al are still fairly fresh - that's not including the bomb Phoenix is likely to be
Five or more years out is fine. They can do small nods and work up

At first I was fine until I thought about a Deadpool movie with no mutant or Xmen references and that's I dunno.
That makes sense for the Xmen but seeing how fast they were able to integrate Spiderman into the MCU, I don't see why the couldn't add in the Fantastic Four into the bookend of Phase 4. Unless they don't think Fantastic Four is bankable enough to even go through all of that.
I would assume it does. But at the same time, I don't think they are worried about Deadpool. That's kind of his biggest strength is that he gets to not play by the rules. There will be a Deadpool 3 in the next 5 years for sure, whether it fits neatly into the MCU, or it's a setup for his entrance into the MCU (movie plays out as a sequel to DP2 but then post credit he ends up in the MCU).
Obviously, it wouldn't be happening right away.
"A very long time" seems a bit much though. It'll be sooner than that description would make most people think.

Makes sense. You can't just shove them in, you need to fit them in organically. Plus the MCU isn't some short term thing, they're undoubtedly planning to keep it going for decades if not indefinitely.
So no matter what way you look at it, they only benefit by waiting a while.

They tried for years to get spideman into the MCU so im sure they had plans if they got him. With all the major villains that come along with FF4 its just better to wait
Correct. People expecting the FF or the X-Men to just suddenly appear as soon as the deal was done have no idea how production works. You'll be watching MCU FF and X-Men movies around the same time you're playing Elder Scrolls 6.
They also couldn't just sit on Spider-Man due to Sony being part of the deal and requiring results. If they could have sat on Spider-Man and introduced him more organically they probably would have.
