Marvel Studios has been considering the possibility of creating a movie in the style of 'Avengers vs X-men' to be included in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. After the conclusion of the Multiverses saga with Avengers: Secret Wars, there has been much speculation about the future direction of the MCU.
A new report suggests that Marvel has bigger plans to integrate the X-Men into the next story arcs of the MCU. According to the report from CosmicCircus, there are talks of creating an Avengers vs X-Men film featuring the members of both groups from the 616 universe.
The anticipated arrival of Marvel Studios' Secret Wars is set for 2027, bringing a conclusion to the current story arcs within the MCU.
This is not out of the realm of possibility, as the Avengers vs X-Men crossover specials offer abundant material for MCU writers to leverage.
The report hints at the idea but emphasizes that it's premature to discuss any specific details of the project. It also notes that the X-Men would need to transition to the 616 universe before this storyline could take place. Marvel gained the rights to the X-Men in 2019 following the merger of Disney and 20th Century Fox.
Whether Marvel Studios decides to move forward with an ‘Avengers vs X-Men’ style movie or not, fans are already getting glimpses of their presence in the MCU narratives.

As a hard fan of Marvel, I am thrilled by the rumor that Marvel Studios is exploring an 'Avengers vs X-Men' crossover in the MCU. This is something that fans have been clamoring for, and it would be an epic clash between two of the most iconic superhero teams in history. I can't wait to see how Marvel Studios brings this to life, and I'm sure it will be one of the biggest movies of all time.
I'm also excited to see how the X-Men are integrated into the MCU. They are such a rich and complex group of characters, and I think they will add a lot to the franchise. I'm especially looking forward to seeing Wolverine and Professor X join the Avengers. These are two of my favorite characters, and I can't wait to see them interact with the rest of the team.
