#XMenMCU
Reader, sometimes there are things that make me very happy to read. This evening CNBC tweeted out that Disney, the owners of Marvel were purchasing 21st Century Fox the owners of X-Men. So…. THE X-MEN AND FANTASTIC 4 CAN JOIN THE MCU!!!
Reader do you know what this means? Do you know what this means?
It’s time for me to do armchair booking!! That’s right it’s Book it Better Part 2!
Step 1: The final credits of Infinity War. I am not going to book that movie but I am going to book the end credits scene. Dr. Strange opens a portal to another dimension and out walks Deadpool! Infinity War will have used zero F-words. Deadpool will look at the camera, then Dr. Strange and say “What the…” before getting cut off by Captain America whom says “Language!”
This will set up an overarching story about multiple universes joining into the MCU.

Step 2: The X-Men Movie. The movie will start after Infinity War, principal characters will be Beast, Nightcrawler, Storm, Jubilee, Iceman, Jean Grey, Cyclops, and Dr. Strange.
The movie will center around the X-Men suddenly being made additions to the MCU while the rest of the world acts like they were always there. Dr. Strange will also notice other changes to the world, the biggest being the emergence of Magneto and Quicksilver. Scarlet Witch will have to come to grips that her family has suddenly come back to life. By the way the Quicksilver character is definitely more the X-Men version than the Avengers version.
Any changes Disney wants to make to the cast can happen here. Right now the only one I love in their role is Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool.
Mystique will be a villain. Magneto will be a villain.
The movie ends with Magneto being met by Dr. Doom.
Step 3: Fantastic 4. Just like the X-Men and Spider-Man the FF will come in pretty much fully formed. Instead this movie will highlight Reed Richards competing with Tony Stark and Bruce Banner as they try to solve a growing issue with the multiple converging universes.
I could book out more and more. Maybe I will one day. But guys here we go.
