The Marvel Cinematic Universe will eventually feature its own X-Men characters, distinct from those in the FoxX-Menuniverse. Many assumed theX-Menwill enter the MCU throughWandaVisionorDoctor Strange In the Multiverse of Madness,although this remains to be seen.
What we do know is that the MCU would not exist without the firstX-Menfilm, as well as its sequels and prequels. Of course, these films were met with various degrees of enthusiasm. Many considerLoganto be the finest film in theX-Menworld, whereas others such asX-Men Origins: Wolverine, X-Men: The Last Stand, Dark Pheonix, and The New Mutantsfell short.

James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender to return in the MCU for X-Men
Avengers: Secret Warsis shaping up to be a multiverse epic on par withAvengers Endgame.According to fresh speculations, James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender will reprise theirX-Menroles as Magneto and Professor X in the MCU.
Following Fox’s merger with Disney, Marvel Studios acquired the rights to theX-Men, Fantastic Four,andDeadpool. Fans were thrilled whenSir Patrick Stewartappeared inDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnessas a variety of Professor X from Earth-838, and it now appears that he won’t be seen again as the 82-year-Charles old’s Xavier was killed off yet again inDoctor Strange 2.
Kevin Feige, the president of Marvel Studios, has been rather tight-lipped about the studio’s plans for the X-Men. The X-MCU Men’s debut, on the other hand, is absolutely in the works and has been confirmed to happen sometime in the near future. Indeed, there have been some indicators that the reintroduction is already beginning with the introductions of Mutants in the MCU likeMs. MarvelandBlack Panther: Wakanda Forever.

Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen won’t be leading the X-Men in the MCU
It should be noted that, while the MCU has successfully taken several Marvel products to the big screen, it has never had to rely on earlier Sony or 20th Century Fox editions. For example,Spider-Man: No Way Homeincluded prior iterations of Peter Parker without overshadowing Tom Holland’s starring performance.
However, giving Patrick Stewart’s Professor X an MCU premiere may eventually stifle the franchise’s growth. Stewart has portrayed the same Marvel superhero since 2000, making him the longest-running actor to do so.
Another potential stumbling block here is the age gap between Professor X inDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnessand the one who may be presented in a future X-Men MCU relaunch. Patrick Stewart, 82, and Ian McKellen, 83, will most certainly be significantly older than whoever portrays the future Charles Xavier, and while multiverse age differences are not a new notion, the initialX-Menappearances in the MCU will most likely be at the start of their tales.

Even with the Multiverse’s do-over possibility, as amazing as it will be to see Patrick Stewart as Professor X and Ian McKellen as Magneto on-screen again, the consistency issues it generates are worrying. As the MCU will be planning to establish theX-Menfor a long period of time.
However, there is a possibility that we might get all the four actors to reprise their roles as their respective characters in the upcoming Marvel film,Avengers: Secret Wars.Marvel Studios’Avengers: Secret Warswill arrive in theaters on August 20, 2025.
