Comic fans are eager to see the X-Men finally appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, although it seems unlikely that the same cast will be brought onto the payroll.
Overall, it’s unclear exactly what Disney is planning to do with Fox’s X-Men franchise, once the merger is finalized at last.

Dark Phoenix has the potential to be the final installment in the long-running franchise, so potential projects like Gambit are probably the least of the studio’s concerns at the moment.
