Alpha Flight: 10 Things You Need To Know About The MCU's Rumoured Super Team

10. The Rights To The Team Came Over To Disney From Fox

After Disney and Fox were able to come to a deal in 2019 after years of what we thought was wishful thinking, Marvel Studios were finally able to bring a whole host of properties back underneath their own umbrella. Though they may be the biggest names now available to the MCU, the X-Men and the Fantastic Four aren't the only super teams Kevin Feige now has access to.

Throughout the X-Men movies and the Deadpool franchise, there have been a couple of blink-and-you'll-miss-it references to Alpha Flight, as little as the name showing on a computer screen in X2, and an ad for an airline of the same name on a taxi in Deadpool 2.

There were, at one stage, rumours of a potential spin off movie in which Alpha Flight would have come to life within the X-Men universe. Fortunately however, nothing was done before the MCU became involved. This means that Feige and co. now get a clean slate with which to introduce the newest team of MCU superheroes, rather than having to work to remove the bad taste from fans' mouths like they will with the Fantastic Four.
