The MCU is now midway through the Multiverse Saga , and many unexampled mutants are expected to debut before 2027’sAvengers : Secret Warsbrings this chapter of the MCU to a stopping point . While it ’s have a bun in the oven that most of these will be antecedently - seencharacters from Fox ’s 10 - Men Universe , including Ryan Reynolds ' Deadpool and Hugh Jackman ’s Wolverine inDeadpool 3 , it ’s also potential that the multiverse will be used to bring never - before - seen mutants and new versions of these quality into the MCU .

This mean thatversions of the X - homo and their scoundrel , include Magneto , could make their way into the MCU from an replacement timelinethat is perhaps set in the past . This would bear law of similarity to twentieth Century Fox’sX - Men : First Classin 2011 , which explore the constitution of the original ten - Men squad in 1963 . It ’s possible that variant of these character could become theMCU ’s official X - Men , which would mean thatMagnetocould keep his traumatic backstory , which also being depicted as a younger man , setting up a huge future tense for the fabled Marvel Comics villain in his new live - action enfranchisement .
