1. The X-Men (Probably)
Whom? You all know who the X-Men are.
Why They’ll (probably) Never Appear: I know what you’re thinking. What? But Disney just bought Fox! Of course the X-Men are going to be in the MCU, you SJW libcuck!!! But here’s why I don’t think so. I DO think X-Men-adjacent characters (and the Fantastic Four for 100 percent certain) will fold back into the MCU. I just don’t think the X-Men as a whole will. Because that’s bad business sense.
If the X-Men were to become MCU characters, Marvel would have to cut back on X-Men films as opposed to what Fox is doing, or risk over-saturating the market. Right now, Fox releases one or two X-films each year. If those were MCU films, we’d be getting four or five MCU films yearly, which is not something any studio would ever green light. It would be hazardous to the MCU branding. But if you have the MCU’s X-Men characters and movies take the place of whatever Phase 4 MCU films would have been made, you miss out on revenue. Keeping them as separate franchises brings twice the profit. Ka-ching.
And there you have it, ten characters or teams that I’m pretty confident won’t make it into any MCU film in the near future. But again, I might be wrong. That would be cool in some cases, but a terrible idea in others.
