Maybe, I would imagine if the X-Men were to be rebooted in the MCU First Class & Apocalypse would be Semi-Canon, like The 2003 Universal Hulk movie is. Just so they wouldn't have to go over the whole Professor X/Magneto/X-Men origin story again. :P The 2003 Hulk isn't the least bit MCU canon, it's semi canon well the origin story part

Why would they do that, though? The only reason Sony made a deal to lend Spider-Man out to Marvel is that they are in a really bad financial situation, but Fox on the other hand are still having tonnes of success with their movies. Why would you deny yourself the ablity to make more money though, an Avengers X-MEN movie produce by Marvel and Fox will make alot more money than Deadpool, X-MEN Apocalypse so on and so forth, Deadpool 2 can end up being the reboot where they keep the actors, but some of the events are non-canon or they can make the events canon, Fox can continue to make the X-MEN spin-offs, and solo movies with Marvel's guidance, and Marvel can help Fox not screw up the Fantastic Four and Fox makes money on the Fantastic Four movies because of this.

To sum it up Avengers X-MEN movie a main installment in a rebooted X-MEN Franchise, a great MCU Fantastic Four movie, Deadpool sequel/reboot(Doesn't matter the same cast is appearing Marvel has no reason to recast Deadpool maybe every one else but Deadpool will stay),  MCU X-Force Movie, and MCU New Mutants movie

making 1 billion, 500-600 million,  500 million, 500 million respectively which is more than they would make dumping the Fantastic Four rights to Marvel, and not rebooting the X-MEN They wouldn't do it unless they were desperate, though, and they're the furthest thing from desperate. They own a hundred other popular movie and TV franchises besides the X-Men, and they're raking in cash from all ends. To name just a few examples they were the highest-earning studio of 2014, The Martian spent longer at the top of the box office than any other movie last year and The Revenant is #2 at the box office right now. It's not about desperation, it's about money making, not about desperation, as a company you don't do good things out of desperation you do those things to stay out of desperation Tell that to Sony, dude. If they weren't in financial trouble, they would be hard at work on The Amazing Spider-Man 3 and Sinister Six right now and the MCU would be soldiering in without Spidey. I'm talking about Fox not Sony and the Marvel-Fox TV deal proves that they are fine with working together, and even if Sony wasn't in financial trouble they wouldn't be working on The Amazing Spider-Man 3, there was no universe to be made off the Spider-Man franchise, they had no direction, and the popularity was tanking like crazy, and the movies made very little money The Amazing Spider-Man 2 had a bigger budget than the Avengers yet it only made 700 million and remember when you add Marketing costs, how much the theaters take, and what not they didn't make much money on the franchise, the ratings were not good, and the popularity of the franchise was slumping

That's horsecrap, dude. If you've got a film franchise and your lowest earning film made $700 million, you are making money hand-over-fist from that franchise, whatever the budget was. Hell, Man of Steel made around the same amount of money as The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and had a similar reception from both critics and audiences, but they're still moving forward with that franchise. Plus, Sony did have plans, they were doing two Spider-Man movies, Sinister Six and a Venom spinoff. The problem was that their whole financial situation was a mess due to a lot of really bad decisions most of which had nothing to do with Spider-Man.

But even if you said were true, the situations were still completely different. The X-Men movies are increasing in popularity after they lost their way with X-Men: The Last Stand and X-Men Origins: Wolverine. X-Men: First Class got great reviews and did okay at the box office, then X-Men: Days of Future Past was a huge hit (not to mention they kicked Marvel's ass in the while battle of the Quicksilvers, but that's beside the point) and a lot of the early reactions to Deadpool are saying that it's one of the best comic book movies ever made.

Marvel also don't seen that keen to share with Fox, since Ryan Reynolds said that they wouldn't let them use Taskmaster in Deadpool.
