Where's The X-Men In MCU Phases 4-6?! Will Phase 7 Be The Mutants Saga?
Where are the X-Men in Marvel's Phases 4, 5, and 6, and why aren't they confirmed as part of the Multiverse Saga? Marvel regained the rights to the X-Men back in 2019 after Disney purchased Fox; that same year, Kevin Feige teased «mutants» coming to the MCU, but Marvel is clearly playing the very, very long game with them.

With their links to Kang the Conqueror, the Multiverse, and Secret Wars, it makes sense they're being considered so important, but what about the X-Men?

Nonetheless, not having the X-Men in Phases 4-6, while jarring when considering the expected timeline and 2019 tease, does make at least
