I wouldn't be suprised if someone from Disney gets in his ear and throws some ideas his way on how to move it along faster. You don't think a MCU X-Men movie would immediately make a billion just because Fox's movies haven't been? The Fox X-Men movies are forgettable and us fans go and watch just to pass the time and to complain usually. So its not like they would be competing with some sort of strong legacy like if they would have rebooted Batman right after Dark Knight Trilogy. If anything the fact they rebooted Spiderman right after Amazing Spiderman and were succesful,should tell you all you need to know. I'm pretty sure thats what Disney will be looking at. Leaving billions on the table for "at least 5 years"? Mark my words,he will have something in theatres in 3 years and multiple other X-Men solo movies slated to hit theatres following that.
Disney doesn't "get in his ear" or "throw ideas his way". Feige has full creative control over everything Marvel related. He's not some mid level exec....he's the president.
I realize fans want an MCU X-Men movie but Disney is not pressed about it, to the point they're gonna start dictating things to Feige.
And you can't really compare Spider-Man to X-Men....X-Men movies have been going on for damn near 20 years with more or less the same roster.
Now you want another reboot with the same exact characters....when, if not 5 years?
You act like they didn't already have contracts in place and a Phase 4 schedule lined up before the Fox deal. They can't just reset their entire plan at the drop of a hat, it's not possible.
They would be leaving billions on the table by rearranging their schedule in favor of X-Men. Which is gonna make money regardless of when they release it. So why rush it?
