| The Fury said: They just add them. No dacning around the issue. Fantastic Four are easy, just ignore the previous films, start again. X-men are harder however. The X-men and major characters are established in real world historical events. WW2, Nam etc. Their plight, hate and feared for who they are, is something they need to handle well. It's funny as the idea that mutants have always existed doesn't seem right as in Marvel they are a big contention and always will be. They, to readers, represent persecution about being different, why Marvel tried to make it out like Inhumans were this I've no idea. Elitist community that chooses who it empowers vs just born that way and you have no control over it and are therefore hated... yeah. okay Marvel. ...plus, Agent Coleson said once 'telepathic abilities? there's no such thing.' Has Xavier really been hiding mutants from the mass populace for so long? :P |
Exactly. The Fantastic Four will fit like a glove in the MCU. I'm so excited for them to join. As for X-Men.... I'm not in the least bit thrilled for it because I know it won't fit well unless they force it into the future. Or it all occurred in the past and they do The Last Stand again. There's so many things established in the MCU that won't let the event's of X-men work. They are too ingrained with society, enhanced individuals and InHuman's fill the roles of mutants, there are a good number of X-Men characters that Marvel could use and has used in the MCU and none of them are Mutant's. They aren't going to reboot the MCU for X-Men and they already have the next 20 films planned out. They brought Fox's films studio, and that film studio will continue to work on X-Men and Deadpool just like Lucas Films still works on Star Wars. Disney will get involved where needed. Marvel will have power and say over what characters can be used and not. They spent over $54 billion and they are going to see their investments. You can damn well bet that the core MCU will be getting some Fantastic Four love.
The MCU already set up the multiverse along with space-time concepts. We will see more of it. X-Men will still technically be part of the "MCU" and cross-overs will happen. Their universes and realities will be kept separate for consistency's sakes. Anyone who thinks Deadpool 2 is getting canceled or Dark Phoenix is getting canceled is just being silly. Even a lot of movie journalism sites are being ridiculous and posting misinformation like Avengers 4 (Infinity war part 2) is getting a rewrite.
As for Coulson's quote "telepathic abilities? there's no such thing." I love the irony there. There's couple of people with telepathic abilities in the MCU. We just got another mind reader so it definitely exist. I'm trying to remember when Coulson said that though. Was that a comment he made regarding the Clairvoyant? That twist was soooooo good and no one predicted it or saw it coming. They shit on everyone's fan theory and delivered something even better!
