With the Marvel Cinematic Universe working on its X-Men reboot, Marvel Studios is reportedly further along with its planning for the mutants in the franchise. As the MCU timeline is getting closer to wrapping up The Multiverse Saga, a new age of superhero adventures is on its way from Marvel Studios with the introduction of the X-Men characters. With the character rights finally back at Marvel Studios, there will be the opportunity to finally have the X-Men and Avengers share the screen, which fans will be getting a taste of in Avengers: Doomsday.

In a new report from Wall Street Journal, more light has been shed on what is going on with the X-Men at Marvel Studios as a reboot movie is still in the works. According to WSJ, Kevin Feige has reportedly told multiple colleagues at Marvel Studios that he has a 10-year plan for the mutants in the MCU. At the time of this story’s publication, Disney and Marvel Studios have yet to comment.

What The New MCU Report Means For The X-Men

While the WSJ report doesn’t specify more about the 10-year-long plan for X-Men in the MCU, there are still some things to take into perspective in terms of how big Feige is possibly planning at Marvel Studios with the mutants. Even though he is planning for a decade’s worth of X-Men, fans have speculated for a long time that Phase 7 will be the beginning of a Mutant Saga. But that doesn’t mean that non-X-Men and mutants characters won’t have a crucial place in the MCU going forward, as it will be about balancing it all.

The timing of this MCU report is also interesting, as this is only coming a day after it was revealed that a ᴅᴇᴀᴅpool/X-Men movie from Ryan Reynolds at Marvel Studios is being explored, as the actor is currently writing a pitch that has yet to go out to the higher-ups. With a separate X-Men movie reboot also in the works, Feige’s plan may possibly include solo movies and TV shows for various mutants, which would definitely justify why he is looking at having a plan for 10 years in mind for the characters. Whether or not any of Feige’s X-Men plans gets revealed anytime soon or after The Multiverse Saga remains to be seen.

Our Take On The MCU X-Men Report

While time will tell what X-Men-related movies and TV shows could be on their way, it’s still really exciting to hear this early that the mutants will reportedly have a huge spotlight in the MCU for several years to come. As Feige’s X-Men comments in the past have made it clear how ready and excited he is to finally tell their stories in the MCU, there will be a lot to look forward to once Phase 6 is over. Hopefully, more updates on the X-Men and their MCU future will emerge sooner rather than later.
