Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige has cautioned that the Fantastic Four and the X-Men won’t join the MCU for “a handful of years.”
Should the purchase be approved, Disney CEO Bob Iger has already confirmed that the Fantastic Four and the X-Men will join the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
In December last year, Disney finalized a deal to purchase the bulk of 21st Century Fox’s movie and TV empire.
Assuming Marvel continue their current “phase” approach, it sounds as though Feige is considering incorporating Fox characters into the MCU as part of Phase 5.
