Xavier was already in his 30s by then by First Class continuity. The fact that they oddly picked a Parallel Universe definitely speaks volumes. We should also add that Legion is Xavier's son, this taking in parrallel universe wouldn't make any sense if it wasn't in the MCU, because it could have been in the 1970s or sometime in the 1980s where Xavier mind wipes everyone, so to them mutants don't exist and he never does it again, but no parrallel universe Exactly, another point to consider is Legion is inherent character and story is tied into a shared universe. Being Xavier's son and whatnot, so what purpose would Fox have to make him in a completely parallel universe?

Unless it is the MCU...
