14 New Marvel Movies Coming In 2021 & Beyond

1. X-Men

Much like Kevin Feige used last year's San Diego Comic-Con to confirm that Marvel Studios had plans to introduce the Fantastic Four into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Feige also used this platform to similarly announce that the X-Men are likewise looming large on the horizon of the MCU.

Again, the X-Men movie property and license is another which was picked up by Disney as part of the 21st Century Fox purchase. How and when Xavier's mutants will land in the MCU, that remains to be seen.

Whilst details on Marvel and Disney's plans for a Fantastic Four picture remain minimal, even less is known about their plans for the X-Men. Feige actually stated that there are plans to develop several future movies based around mutants, and that the X-Men are just one such group of mutants that will be spotlighted.

One piece of information that we do know, however, is that the MCU incarnation of the X-Men will be different to what we've already seen served up by 21st Century Fox over the past two decades.

With the multiverse soon to be at play, the X-Men could already be out there fighting the good fight on an alternate Earth - but if they are, don't expect to see them played by the same actors who've played these iconic characters already.

As for when this X-Men movie will be released, a realistic educated guess suggests 2024 at the earliest.
