Bonus Post, X-Men and Fantastic Four in MCU

X-Men in the MCU

Here are my thoughts of how to bring the X-Men into the MCU.  My theory comes from a combination of my own thoughts along with what I have read since the news of the Fox deal might be coming through.  We are in a great time of upheaval in the MCU with the introduction of the Infinity Gauntlet and the Infinity Stones and with the Stones all together then you can do many powerful things like reality warping and an introduction to the multiverse, which is a central point in the comics of Marvel.  We seen a little bit of the multiverse in the Doctor Strange movie, but it did not delve all the way in.  With being able to open the multiverse this could allow the X-Men to come into the MCU, but I am not totally into that.  I think the best way would be to have them come in as younger people and are discovered by Charles Xavier who is brought in by Nick Fury, since he is the one who brings everyone together.  Basically, start them off as the young original team of Cyclops, Beast, Iceman and Jean Grey.  There have been rumors about Hugh Jackman coming in as Wolverine in Avengers 4 so I guess if that rumor is true it would blow my theory up.  It will be interesting no matter what happens.

Fantastic Four in the MCU

Now I will talk about how to bring the Fantastic Four into the MCU, the first family of comics.  Now I am not totally sure if Fox has this or another studio but if Fox has it then I am sure it will be included in the buyout.  The Negative Zone and Annihilus are central to the Fantastic Four, when you search for Fantastic Four villains then Annihilus will be right at the top.  Anyway, you can have them start out in the 60’s during the space race getting their powers but they have been stuck in the Negative Zone somehow.  Then, because of the Infinity Gauntlet you free them from the Zone and have them come back to Earth where there are many more “enhanced” individuals.  That way we would not have to start them out as new characters but can introduce them.  I think we are tired of seeing the origin of the FF anyway, like how the way the MCU introduced Spidey to the current universe.
