Marvel's Next X-Men Movie Challenge Has The Perfect Answer
The MCU’s X-Men entrance has a huge challenge ahead of them in regards to explaining where the mutants have been, but one Marvel comic storyline holds the perfect answer. Until Disney bought Fox in 2019, Marvel’s films could not integrate classic characters like Deadpool, the Fantastic Four, and the X-Men into the MCU. Lack of access to the X-Men characters meant Disney could not introduce concepts like mutants and their relationship with humanity.
The mutants’ absence in the MCU poses a storytelling challenge. If mutants are only now being discovered, for example, then the origins of important characters like Charles Xavier, the formation of his School For Gifted Youngsters, and the formation of antagonistic groups like Magneto’s Brotherhood of Mutants will have to be rushed through. The existence of so much storytelling content is the reason the MCU’s perfect X-Men reboot idea would be to adapt their adventures and origins into a TV show. Marvel’s mutant history holds an abundance of established lore, so there needs to be a way to acknowledge it without the X-Men movies being dedicated to endless origin stories.

If this idea is integrated into the MCU as the audience's introduction to mutant society, it could explain exactly where mutants have been all along, following up on Doctor Strange 2’s setup for X-Men. That story option could also still work with Ms Marvel's mutantkind set-up.
