Ever since Disney completed its acquisition of 20th Century Fox in 2019, fans have been thrilled about the prospect of mutants and the X-Men joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Now, thanks to the head of Marvel Studios, we’ve got a clue as to when these beloved characters will step into the spotlight. Fox had control over this property for numerous films since the release of 2000’s X-Men, and while they produced some excellent movies, seeing the X-Men in the Marvel Cinematic Universe feels like it will pave the way for even more compelling stories to unfold. While there have been subtle hints about the X-Men and mutants in recent MCU releases, there’s been no definitive timeline on when they would make their grand entrance. With The Fantastic Four, Marvel’s First Family, finishing production on their first MCU appearance, the Marvel honcho has given us a glimpse into when the X-Men will soon follow suit.
