Fans have been wondering how Marvel Studios would go about integrating the X-Men into the Marvel Cinematic Universe ever since Disney's acquisition of 20th Century Fox back in 2019, and many believe that the introduction of mutants could come about via the exploration of the Multiverse.
We already know that Sam Raimi's Doctor Strange sequel will delve into various alternate realities, and since Scarlet Witch is on board for that adventure, there's speculation that WandaVision may set the stage for the children of the atom to join the MCU.
During an interview with Deadline, Kevin Feige was asked about Marvel's first Disney+ series potentially serving as a "ramp" to revive the X-Men. As expected, he wouldn't confirm of deny anything, but did seem to suggest that it was a possibility.
Deadline: "We know with Monica Rambeau in WandaVision, her character connects into Captain Marvel 2, and that the series connects to Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Is WandaVision a ramp to the revival of X-Men you’re planning?"
Feige: "In hindsight, in five years if when we’re talking about everything that’s happened, everything can be a ramp to everything, specifically though, yes, Monica in Captain Marvel 2 and specifically to Wanda teaming up with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. "
It's a typically vague response, but WandaVision does seem to be laying the groundwork for a very different MCU moving forward. We're not likely to see the X-Men debut on the show, of course, but we wouldn't be surprised if a hint or two was dropped before the end of the first season!
How do you guys see Marvel's merry band of mutants making their way to the MCU?
