Avengers 5: 10 Possible Storylines It Would Be Awesome To See In The MCU

3. Avengers Vs. X-Men

Marvel Studios is going to reboot the X-Men franchise, but it's not going to be easy, especially as moviegoers are clearly sick and tired of the mutant superheroes. Movies like Dark Phoenix and The New Mutants are responsible for that, and exploring the Professor X/Magneto dynamic again isn't something anyone is really excited for.

So, why doesn't Marvel Studios just skip past that, and do with the X-Men what they did with Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War? Kicking things off for the MCU's mutants with an Avengers Vs. X-Men movie would be awesome, and it's hard to imagine it being anything other than a box office hit.

Providing Marvel Studios can find a way to convincingly introduce them and find a good reason for the two teams of heroes to clash, then there's no reason this couldn't be the basis of Avengers 5. It's fair to say that the Phoenix Force shouldn't factor into this adaptation, but it's not like it would be hard to picture Earth's Mightiest Heroes clashing with the X-Men when they first show up.

By the time all is said and done, they would (obviously) put their differences aside to fight a common threat, and a movie like this could nicely set the stage for Secret Wars.
