The Marvel Multiverse Saga isn’t over yet, but the comic book giant’s boss, Kevin Feige, has provided some exciting insight into the post-Avengers: Secret Wars plans.
Speaking, albeit virtually, at the opening of Disney’s APAC Content Showcase in Singapore (per Term), Feige revealed that the next phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) will be built around the X-Men. Cue fans, myself included, of the iconic mutant superhero group punching the air in unison.
That’s not the only exciting news Feige had for the gathered crowd. Marvel’s creative chief also dropped a huge hint that we’re more likely to see numerous mutants appear in MCU films Secret Wars – the Marvel Phase 6 film that will conclude the story of the Multiverse Saga in May 2027.
“I think you’ll see (bringing the X-Men to the MCU) continue in our next films with some X-Men players you might recognize,” Feige teased. ‘Right after that came the whole story Secret Wars really leads us into a new era of mutants and of the X-Men.

According to Feige, the iconic quartet will not only be an integral part of Avengers: Judgment Day And Avengers: Secret Warsbut also the future of the MCU.
“Finally, we’re bringing Marvel’s First Family to the MCU,” Feige said. “They close next week, the movie comes out next summer, and then all those characters go straight to the next one Avengers movies, so I’m very excited about the future of the Fantastic Four.”
After a turbulent period for Marvel Studios, things seem to be looking up again.

The comic book giant will therefore hope that better days lie ahead, especially with the arrival of the X-Men and The Fantastic Four.
