You might be tired of seeing the phrase “the MCU as we know it is ending”, but it’s the truth of the matter regardless of how much you dislike us saying it.
This ending is most notable in the leaked plans for the “Mutant Saga”.
Who’s excited aboutThunderbolts*?

Luckily for X-Men fans, this is due to change.
According to industry insider @MyTimeToShineH,as perComicBook, The Fantastic Four and mutants will exist in the same universe.

The same insider claims Mister Sinister will be the main villain now.
Also symbolising the end of the MCU as we know it is the surprising news thatAvengers vs. X-Menwill be the “next big Avengers film” and notSecret WarsorDoomsday.
Until Marvel confirms this itself, however, we must prepare for these claims to be untrue.
That said, with Marvel’s Kevin Feige speaking of the X-Men being “back”, it feels safe to assume that they will feature heavily in upcoming projects.

“Secret Warsreally leads us into a new age of mutants and of the X-Men […] We finally have the X-Men back,” Feige said.
