The MCU Is Breaking A 23-Year-Old X-Men Movie Record (& It"s A Good Thing)

Summary

• Marvel Studios is finally moving forward with their X-Men reboot, breaking an age-old release trend by leaving a six-year gap since the last X-Men film.
• The gap between Dark Phoenix and the MCU's first X-Men team debut allows viewers to potentially forget the previous movies, making it easier for Marvel Studios to recast high-profile roles.
• Fox's X-Men characters may still make appearances in upcoming projects like Deadpool 3 and Avengers: Secret Wars, but the MCU's X-Men film will likely be released in Phase 7, giving fans a chance to bid farewell to the old beloved characters in the Multiverse Saga.

Moving ahead with their highly-anticipated X-Men reboot, Marvel Studios is finally breaking an age-old X-Men release trend, which is good news for the mutant superheroes of the MCU. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige teased the development of a mutant-centric project at SDCC 2019, following Disney's acquisition of 20th Century Fox in 2019, but since then, news on the MCU's X-Men reboot has been scarce. Recently, however, it's been reported that Marvel Studios will be taking pitches from writers for the MCU's X-Men now that the WGA strike has come to a satisfying conclusion. Even so, it may be some time before the X-Men are properly introduced to the MCU.
The film rights to Marvel Comics' X-Men were purchased by 20th Century Fox in 1994, leading directly to the development of 2000's X-Men and the subsequent 20-year-long film franchise. Fox's X-Men franchise comprised 13 feature films and two franchise-adjacent TV shows, culminating in 2020's The New Mutants, and introduced audiences to live-action versions of iconic Marvel characters such as Professor X, Magneto, Wolverine, and Jean Grey. The MCU's new X-Men update means that the wheels are in motion to finally bring the team into Marvel Studios' more-successful franchise, though it seems the reboot will be breaking a major Fox trend that could be great news for the upcoming MCU project.
