10 Predictions For Fox's Upcoming Marvel Movies
1. The X-Men Timeline Will Be Rejigged
As great as Logan was, it has painted the X-Men movie franchise into a corner. The timeline is now a garbled mess and the core series is heading for a largely mutant-free future, due to arrive there by 2029.
The only way for Fox to keep pumping out sequels is through either a full reboot or a timeline-altering story, the latter being a very X-Men solution.
One possibility is have a team travel through time to prevent the tragic event which thinned the mutant population to almost nothing pre-Logan from ever happening.
Striking this from the record would give Fox the chance to continue exploring the X-Men timeline without the threat of a cataclysm hanging over it, and also presents the opportunity to integrate characters like X-23 into the wider X-universe.
Adjusting the timeline wouldn't have to be a cheap, quick fix. This could be done in an epic crossover that brings together the X-Men, X-Force, Deadpool and the New Mutants, working towards a common goal - preventing the destruction of mutantkind.
