Marvel fans never thought they would get here, but we now live in a world where Marvel Studios has control of former Fox properties Fantastic Four and X-Men. Though it looks like there are plans to introduce the Fantastic Four first, everyone is excited to see what can be done with the X-Men in the MCU.

If anything, the X-Men kind of live in their own world, and the introduction of whole mutant conflict in the established MCU would no doubt cause a major shake-up in the canon.  With thousands of Marvel fans being obsessed over details and rules or world-building, Marvel Studios has now been granted the impossible task of introducing mutants into the world in a way that makes sense.

With the Marvel writers still butting heads on how they’re going to pull that off, I’ve decided to compile a list of 4 ways that they can introduce mutants into the MCU that would make sense canonically.
