Avengers vs X-Men movie ‘planned after Endgame’ claims Marvel source

Later this month Fox will become part of The Walt Disney Company. This means that popular Marvel characters like the X-Men, Fantastic Four and Deadpool will now be included in the MCU movies alongside the Avengers. According to We Got This Covered, a Marvel source says that an Avengers vs X-Men movie is “on the cards”. Allegedly Marvel Studios “will begin building to it” after Fox’s merger with Disney is completed.

After all, how are Disney supposed to follow the epic crescendos of Avengers Infinity War and Avengers Endgame?

Bringing in the X-Men for a clash is an obvious answer, especially as Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man and Chris Evans’ Captain America are being retired.

Avengers vs X-Men is also a 2012 Marvel Comics crossover event, which saw the return of the Phoenix Force, which is linked to Jean Grey.

This previous plotline is the focus of this year’s X-Men Dark Phoenix – Fox’s final X-Men movie before the merger.

Of course, it’s unlikely that Sophie Turner and the cast of Dark Phoenix will enter the MCU.

What’s much more likely is seeing all the X-Men rebooted with new actors.

After all, this is what happened when Sony Pictures made a deal for Spider-Man to enter the MCU.

Tom Holland replaced Andrew Garfield in the role and has a second solo movie, Spider-Man Far From Home, released this summer.

AVENGERS ENDGAME NEW TRAILER SOON?

Dark Phoenix’s plot synopsis reads: ““In DARK PHOENIX, the X-MEN face their most formidable and powerful foe: one of their own, Jean Grey.”

“During a rescue mission in space, Jean is nearly killed when she is hit by a mysterious cosmic force. Once she returns home, this force not only makes her infinitely more powerful, but far more unstable.

“Wrestling with this entity inside her, Jean unleashes her powers in ways she can neither comprehend nor contain. With Jean spiralling out of control, and hurting the ones she loves most, she begins to unravel the very fabric that holds the X-Men together.

“Now, with this family falling apart, they must find a way to unite – not only to save Jean’s soul, but to save our very planet from aliens who wish to weaponize this force and rule the galaxy.”
