We have some X-Men and some Fantastic Four news to talk about today.

But the big questions that everybody have are

When are we going to see the X-Men? And 

When are we going to see the Fantastic Four enter the MCU?

Well, there have been plenty of reports and leaks about the Fantastic Four and X-Men. Today, we're going to talk about some Fantastic news 4 you. But before that, the great news: The first X-Men to make an appearance in the MCU and perhaps not as a hero, but as a villain.

Now, I'm sure many of you would be excited to know that Rogue is going to be coming in Captain Marvel 2 possibly as the villain. We have heard from sources that Rogue has been developed as a key figure for the X-Men under the intense vision of Kevin Feige.

This would be just Like Rogue's comic book debut. She will debut in the MCU as a part of a mutant terrorist group originally called the Brotherhood of the Evil Mutants. they don't call themselves the evil ones, I mean duh! But it is  the Brotherhood. It is unclear on whether or not they're going to be called that in the MCU.

Apparently, Marvel is planning on sidelining Magneto at least for the time being this is due to Magneto being so prominent in the Fox's X-Men Movies. So, the Brotherhood might have a new leader and mostly for us there is not a shortage of mutants to choose from this group of mutant terrorists is devoted to mutant superiority.

Now, we pretty much saw this in the original Fox X-Men that the whole driving Point behind Magneto is that mutants are superior than humans They have powers but there are many extremely powerful mutants that they could introduce as the leader of this organization. Such intro would be really cool to see on big screen.

Now, Rogue and Captain Marvel actually have a very very long history together in the comics. And yes, they have been foes of Rogue is tried to steal Captain Marvel's powers multiple times and she usually uses them to help the Brotherhood of evil mutants. So the fact that Kevin Feige would want to go down this route isn't that surprising as Rogue is a classic Captain Marvel foe.

We've been hearing from our source Daniel Quinn that so far, there there are discussions about it and nothing is concrete yet. But if they do go this route, we could see Rogue in Captain Marvel 2 in Phase 5.

We also have some Fantastic Four news. Now, for a very long time even before Kevin Feige name drop the Fantastic Four at San Diego Comic-Con last year fans have been wanting the Fantastic Four in the MCU and they've been wanting them to be played by Emily Blunt & John Krasinski. Now, you probably heard the report that Emily Blunt while she was filming 'Jungle Cruise' met with Marvel Studios about an upcoming role in an upcoming movie.

So it's possible that that character that she's meeting with Marvel Studios about is to play Sue storm The Invisible Woman and yesterday her husband. John Krasinski was asked about playing Mr. Fantastic while speaking with total film magazine. 

He said,

I would love to be in the Marvel Universe. I love those movies because they're fun. But I also think they're really well done and certainly a lot of my friends are in those movies.
