No X-Men in a Marvel movie for at least the next 5 years

Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige says the next five years of Marvel films is already planned out – and doesn’t involve the X-Men.

Disney, which owns Marvel Studios, owns the rights to the X-Men universe since it merged with 20th Century Fox.

Feige told entertainment website iO9 it’ll be a while before there will be a movie involving X-Men and Marvel Cinematic Universe …”a very long time”.
“Phase Four” of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) begins after the release of Avengers: Endgame on 26 April.

The Marvel Studios president says Marvel wants to continue telling stories with characters that the audience knows, as well as introducing characters that “even hardcore fans, comic fans, have barely known or barely heard of”.

When asked how the Disney/Fox merger would affect the X-Men, Feige said Marvel has been working on its five-year plan “before any of that was set”.
