The next step for the MCU: Marvel's Multiverse
Recently we heard Benedict Cumberbatch saying the words most of the Marvel fans have been waiting for a very long time, the introduction of the Multiverse in the MCU. Yes the multiverse was teased in Marvels Ant man and Doctor Strange, but why are most fans excited for the MCU Multiverse? And why is this the perfect time for the introduction of the Multiverse?
The X-men homecoming:
Recently Fox and Disney had started negotiations for the purchase of Fox properties by Disney. The moment when this deal lands the MCU will be obtaining the rights to all mutants.
How will the X-men fit into the MCU which is an established universe?
Well yes the MCU has been established, and how will the Disney be able to explain the existence of mutants in the MCU if all comics point to the mutants isn't accepted by the community and constant conflict between the Government, humans and mutants. Well clearly saying we have been hiding is an illogical choice and will not work. In the case where one individual like Spider-man, this idea wasn't as bad, because he (Spider-man) wasn't trying to attract attention to himself and hiding one person is much easier than a whole community.
The fact that the battle of New York happened is a solid case alone, no one will believe that the X-men was chilled in the midst of this battle saying to professor X: " Hey professor, we're going to sit this one out, the Hulk is there they won't need us in any way."
How to bring the X-men to the MCU:
A cross dimension battle will definitely be insane and the most logical move for Marvel to introduce to us the MCU X-men. Having them battle one another because both feel threatened by one another and thus overlooking the main Villain in the process would be a great story line and let’s be honest we would love to see Hulk and Wolverine having a huge battle, Cap and Cyclops or even Colossus and Iron man.
Other ways the MCU will benefit from the multiverse:
Along with the X-men, the Fantastic Four will also be coming home. The Fantastic four is a great team of heroes and they have some of the most powerful of villains as all superheroes has. Having Reed joining the MCU the science division of the Avengers and the dynamic between Reed, Tony, Steven and Bruce will be incredible to experience.

Conclusion:
The possibilities are unbelievable with the massive roster and crazy story lines which could be followed. Form a team up movie of Spider-men (Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield and Tom Holland) saving the multiverse in a crossover movie called Spider-verse, to the soft reboot of main characters whose contracts have expired in the Ultimate Marvel universe to the introduction of new characters, and a huge battle across dimensions in an event called Secret wars.
The Multiverse sounds like the ultimate solution to the Fox merge and main Avenger’s retirement problem Disney is facing. It develop excitement and something unique in story building the film industry has never seen before.

It would have been awesome if they brought it in Infinity War. After the dust settles from the fight Tony might get his hands on some of Thanos' tech allowing im to access the multiverse. Sadly it has been confirmed that no Xmen will be in Infinity War.
Definitely a shame that the X-Men can't join the MCU earlier, but them joining the MCU is great for Disney and Marvel. I believe that Kevin Feige has an epic plan to introduce the X-Men.
