Genius Marvel Theory Explains How The X-Men Were Secretly In The MCU All Along
Patrick Stewart's Professor X is arriving in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, but a theory claims the X-Men were always secretly in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The Doctor Strange 2 trailer had a shocking reveal with Professor X and the X-Men. In the trailer, Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) deals with Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) messing with the Multiverse, he fights across dimensions alongside America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez), and he even goes to trial over apparent Multiversal crimes.

However, the X-Men haven't entered the MCU thus far. WandaVision teased the arrival of the X-Men with Evan Peters' Pietro Maximoff/Quicksilver. However, that turned out to be a trick. The Disney+ series reveals Peters' character was just a brainwashed civilian named Ralph Bohner.
