Fam no offense but you aren't listening.
They're currently casting for an "Eternals" movie (Eternals are how humans eventually evolved into mutants)....and the new Spider-Man trailer hints at the multi-verse....there is obviously ground work being laid in the next few movies for introducing the X-Men and mutants....and if Feige said 5 years, that's probably how long it'll take to put those pieces into place.
They can't just drop an X-Men movie out of the clear blue sky....mutants don't even exist in the MCU. You want them to pull a rush job and rearrange franchises like "Black Panther" and "Captain Marvel", that made $1 billion? For what? That X-Men money will still be there.
And yes Marvel was downplaying the X-Men in favor of promoting The Avengers in comics. It was "I make more money off A than B, so I'm gonna push A", simple as that.
Lastly, let's look at some math here. Marvel starts work on the next Phase towards the end of the last one. So, as Phase 3 is ending, they're casting for "Eternals", which is Phase 4. If Phase 4 is scheduled to run until 2022....it means even if they announce X-Men as part of Phase 5....they would only start casting for it in 2022....meaning it won't be done until 2024, which is 5 years.
These numbers aren't random man.
Fred.
No offense but maybe we both aren't listening,because I repeatedly said movies didn't need to be rearranged at all.
I might just be confused by it all,because this simply doesn't make any sense. If there is a multiverse groundwork doesn't need to be laid.
How the hell do mutants not exist when Magneto was around during the Holocaust and that is a major part of his story.
If you are going to show the "why" of why mutants exist which is less neccessary than showing Spidermans boring spider bite backstory,or Batmans parents being shot,fine I guess. But these Avengers who are current day won't exist in that universe with X-Men anyway if thats the plan.
Lets just say we are both right,you guys phrased it as though they were too busy working on proven properties and shouldn't stop the proccess.
But "Eternals" is in fact not a proven property along with a couple others, and could be scrapped to give the fans what they want to see sooner(X-Men)
But you cleared it up,now that I know X-Men is a tool for their greed,it all makes more sense.
X-Men will be the new carrot dangled,forcing fans to go see movies like Captain Marvel 2,The Child Of Hawkeye,Black Cap, in search of easter eggs.
