MCU's Multiverse Saga includes X-Men characters.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT An X-Men director believes that X-Men: Days of Future Past paved the way for the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Multiverse Saga and the growing use of the multiverse among superhero movies and series. Fox's X-Men movies took place across different timelines, with the two main iterations of the franchise coming together in X-Men: Days of Future Past.
Speaking with Polygon, X-Men: Dark Phoenix director and longtime franchise producer Simon Kinberg explained why he thinks X-Men: Days of Future Past opened up the door for the multiverse. Kinberg notes that "even though it wasn’t technically the multiverse thing that, ultimately, I think in some ways spawned it.
The gateway was Days of Future Past because even though there isn’t high science fiction, like apocalypse or aliens, time travel is as big a science fiction trope. It sort of opened up what we could do because even though it wasn’t technically the multiverse thing that, ultimately, I think in some ways spawned it, it was outside the bounds of linear storytelling on Earth. It was other dimensions. There wasn’t a lot of pushback from the studio.
Now, almost a decade after X-Men: Days of Future Past was released, Jackman's Wolverine gets ready to join the MCU through the multiverse in Deadpool 3. After Disney bought Fox, attention turned to how Marvel Studios would introduce the X-Men into the MCU, and it is interesting that instead of jumping right in at rebooting the X-Men, the MCU is using its Multiverse Saga to seemingly give an emotional send-off to Fox's X-Men franchise.
After X-Men: Days of Future Past's innovative storytelling paved the way for the multiverse to become as popular in superhero adaptations as it currently is, the MCU paying off the work set up by the X-Men movie brings the whole thing home perfectly. Jackman's Wolverine return alongside Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool comes after a multiverse variant of Patrick Stewart's Charles Xavier and a fake version of Evan Peters' Quicksilver appeared in the MCU through the multiverse.
