I know they are better off in their own universe I just wish Marvel had the rights to them and Fantastic Four just so we could have a fully integrated MCU. And to see Hulk fight Wolverine LOL. Out of curiousity what if Disney got the rights back tomorrow and they fast tracked a film who would you cast in it?? Also who should write and direct?? Who would be the villain?

The U.S. government should be the villain. Just go full Orwell with the Mutant oppression.

Willa Holland (AKA Arrow's kid sister) would be a good Shadowcat, i think. eta: i think the Brotherhood are the natural choice for antagonist. it's almost needed to show the mutant dynamics in the new continuity.

True true, Magneto and his brotherhood are the best fit. The other question is would you show Wolverine in the first movie??

I think that if this hypothetical MCU X-Men ever did happen, they should give Magneto a break at least for a couple of films. They seriously need to give X-Men villains who aren't Stryker room to breathe.

I'd probably have Christopher McQuarrie direct it with Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely as screenwriters. Although some of these seem unlikely now, my fan cast for an entire series reboot would include:
XMEN
Wolverine - Tom Hardy
Professor X - Ralph Fiennes
Jean Grey - Jessica Chastain
Cyclops - Matt Bomer
Storm- Tika Sumpter
Rogue - Lily Collins
Iceman - Glenn Powell
Beast - Alan Tudyk
Kitty Pryde - Shailene Woodley
Cable - Channing Tatum
Emma Frost - Natalie Dormer
Angel - Sam Claflin
Nightcrawler - Dylan O'Brien
Gambit - Jack Reynor
Northstar - Zachary Quinto
VILLAINS
Magneto - Gary Oldman
Sabretooth - Richard Armitage
Apocalypse - Idris Elba
Juggernaut - Nathan Jones
Mystique - Sofia Boutella
Lady Deathstrike - Maggie Q
Mr. Sinister - Jason Isaacs
William Stryker - Ben Mendelsohn
Sauron - Toby Kebbell
Graydon Creed - Ben Foster
Sebastian Shaw - Guy Pearce
Selene - Eva Green
Madeline Pryor - Lily James
Toad - Michael Pitt
Cassandra Nova - Helen Mirren

Nice cast bud, yeah I would love Hardy as Wolverine but he is already gonna play Venom now. Oldman as Magneto is something I would love to see.

The U.S. government should be the villain. Just go full Orwell with the Mutant oppression. Would you go full Ultimate X-Men and have "mutation" revealed as a creation/mishap of the US government?

I'd have it be maybe either be something caused by the Infinity Stones' presence on Earth altering some people, or maybe Asgardians who mated with Humans thousands of years ago.

Well, since "humans naturally mutating" is unfortunately out of the question with the MCU's established history, we'd HAVE to either go with that or go with the idea that the Infinity Stones altered certain people (or both). I like the idea of it being mostly children. That could give rise to an interesting dynamic where there are only a few adult Mutants like Professor X and Magneto, but a WHOLE BUNCH of Mutant kids that need guidance.

I think I'd go with Sinister and The Marauders implementing the Mutant massacre story line a bit for the movie. Play on the fact that a lot of mutants have hid under ground because of how they look while others like the X-Men have been able to mostly hide in plain sight because they look normal and all. Which would explain why there hasn't really been a presence of mutants so far in the MCU. Or you know, maybe Scarlett Witch does a reverse "no more mutants" type of deal and ends up creating them instead in the Infinity War somehow. Either way this would be my cast of characters. In my casting the X-Men are older as I don't want them all being kids and such. I have Kitty and Bobby being more the kids of this group while the main X-Men are represented as being a bit older like 28-32-ish (except for Beast who I'm mostly just using for voice acting here but he could just as easily be an older character if given some scenes without his beast form). Also I'm keeping away from Wolverine, Magneto, Stryker, Mystique as imo we all need a break from some of these characters. So I'm going with ones that either are main stays (Charles, Scott, Jean, and Storm) or ones that I feel haven't really been represented correctly on film. Also going with some that haven't been used at all.
X-Men
Charles Xavier - Stanley Tucci
Scott Summers - Richard Madden
Jean Grey - Olivia Wilde
Storm - Lupita Nyong'o
Beast - Jeffrey Wright
Rogue - Mary Elizabeth Winstead
Angel - Luke Benward
Kitty Pryde - Hailee Steinfeld
Villains
Mr Sinister - Jason Isaacs
Sabertooth - Alexander Skarsgård
Harpoon - Mark Pellegrino
Blockbuster - Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson (Don't need him to do much acting tbh)
Malice - Bridget Regan (originally had her as Jean but decided to switch and this way she still gets in this movie)
Riptide - Diego Luna
Scalphunter - Danny Trejo
Tweener
Gambit - Garret Hedlund

Why does this topic keeping coming up every few weeks. The X-men franchise is not going to stoop down to the levels of the MCU where artistic value is substituted for cheap thrills entertainment.
Saying that I would like to see the current X-Men cast appear in an Avengers film only if Fox had creative control over their characters and somehow managed to work alongside MCU writers to create the film overall. The MCU alone would treat them badly.
Ill admit seeing Hugh Jackman, McAvoy and Fassbender interacting with RDJ, Chris Evans and Mark Ruffolo would be pretty cool to witness only if their character traits established in respective films are not betrayed. Throw in Ryan Rendolds Deadpool too. Mister Sinister would be an ideal villain for both.

Get over yourself. We just want to see the X-Men put in a context where they have to accept the existence of non-mutant superbeings and how they'd react and deal with that instead of the same old we've been getting from Fox for 17 years. Maybe have someone call out Xavier and Magneto on their incompetence. The MCU would treat them better than FOX, as FOX can only treat Wolverine, Xavier and Magneto with respect.

Theres not much Fox can do about thaf since theyve created a mutant only universe as other non-mutant superbeings are not registered to them except F4. Na, the MCU would focus on them more just like they focus on Cap, Stark and Thor. The only reason you believe they care about otherd is because they give the minor characters individual films which doesnt seem plausible for characters like Cyclops or Storm.
