X-Men is very far right now
Marvel Studios is going to release a bandwagon of projects in the upcoming years. After the conclusion of Phase 4 withWakanda Forever, the upcoming Phase 5 is tightly packed with projects leading to the climax of this vast Multiverse Saga in Phase 6. According to reports, MCU will not introduce the X-Men amid this jam-packed schedule.
As per the words of Deadline’s Justin Kroll, even though a writer is being hired by the Marvel Studios, the movie’s still miles away. Reportedly the project will lack any update until we get close to the conclusion of Phase 6.
Speaking of X-MEN, this film isn’t happening for a very long time, so outside of a writer being tapped, it’s super unlikely any casting decisions get made on that one for some time

Although the chances are pretty tiny, X-Men may also belong to one of those projects in Phase 6 which haven’t been announced yet. Or we may also spot them at the end ofAvengers: Secret Warsand they may turn out to pilot Phase 7.
