The Marvel Cinematic Universe is getting ready to bring in the X-Men, with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige teasing their exciting future in the franchise. Following the original era of X-Men movies, the mutants are finally close to appearing in the MCU. While it is unclear exactly when the X-Men will show up in the MCU, it is one of the next big priorities for Marvel Studios as they get closer to finishing the Multiverse Saga.
However, it appears that the MCU timeline could see X-Men characters sooner than expected. During a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, Feige was asked about what fans can expect of the X-Men in the MCU. Without going too much into specifics, Kevin Feige gave the following update about the X-Men and the MCU's introduction of the iconic mutants while also bringing up the launch of X-Men '97, the official sequel to X-Men: The Animated Series:
I don't know if it's delicate. It's super exciting. But the X-Men are as solid and rich and great a concept and characters as exist. [There's] the return of the animated series next year, which we're very excited about. I saw some new final episodes today which really bring you back to that core of who the X-Men are and that soap opera that those characters represent. And then in live-action, people will see… perhaps, soon.
