Fans are understandably excited about the prospect of the X-Men joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and a reboot is currently in the very earliest stages of development. It looked as though we’d never see Charles Xavier’s team of mutants sharing the screen with the various members of the Avengers, but all it took was for Disney to continue swallowing their competition whole.
There’s been no shortage of speculation and theorizing about how the X-Men could end up being parachuted into the world’s most popular franchise, and that’s only increased since WandaVision began slowly introducing the multiverse into the mix. It’ll take some clever storytelling to explain that mutants have existed in the MCU the entire time without making it come off as forced, but Marvel Comics may have provided a new method for making it happen.
The entire world of the X-Men has been rebooted in Dawn of X, which finds all mutants uniting together and residing on the living island of Krakoa, which has been recognized by the rest of the world as an official nation. A mutant as well as their home, Krakoa provides plenty of bio-organic technology to speed up the advancement of the local culture.
One of the main driving forces behind Dawn of X is the idea of disparate mutants combining their powers to alter the laws of physics and nature, with a group known as The Five even able to conquer death. In the comics, SWORD have since introduced The Six, who can combine forces to travel through any cosmic plane, which includes the multiverse.
Marvel have always looked to their comic book back catalogue for inspiration, and SWORD are clearly heavily involved in whatever’s going on outside of WandaVision‘s Westview, so it could well end up providing the jumping off point for bringing the X-Men into the MCU.
