Here's a revelation for you: Marvel plan on eventually striking some sort of deal with Fox to reclaim the film-making rights to the X-Men, or at least taking them back some other way. Basically, there seems to be a contingency plan for when the rights are back.

That much goes all the way back to May 2015 when Feige was asked about the possibility by Crave. Would he use them if he had the rights...

Even with the problems of reverse engineering them back into the MCU, Feige would be keen. And that's not an isolated statement. He preceded that by about a year saying "never say never" in a Q&A with IGN, and X-Men producer Lauren Shuler Donner has also said she would "love it" if Marvel and Fox could work together on a cross-over.
