Im gonna reiterate this a million times….I dont want 5 X-Men and their drama.I want the whole damn team and to show them WORKING TOGETHER. Whether its using powers or no. Its just more fun when theyre ALL there, each with their own ideas and quippy speeches and comedy bits.

Given how big 97 was, that would be the smart move.

If the MCU does turn this into reality, it will be fixing one of Fox’s many mistakes with the franchise, like the timeline gaffes and disappointing sidelining of significant characters, to list a few. The ball is in Feige’s court now.
