What do you think we should do with the timeline if they announce that the MCU and the X-Men films shared continuity all along with the multiverse? I'm sure they won't do that, and I personally hope they don't. Keep non-Marvel Studios films outside of the MCU - plus that franchise is a lot less consistent in quality, and its timeline... phwoah... But yeah, we'll adapt formats as more different types of storytelling unravel.

I'm excited for the prospects of this deal, but I hope it's not rushed. I honestly don't mind if they spend like the next 5 years just playing out the rest of the X-Men universe before things start to close down and gradually restart in the MCU. Ideally, for me, they'd do The New Mutants, Deadpool 2, X-Men: Dark Phoenix, their Gambit film, their X-23 film, Deadpool 3 and/or X-Force, and finish with one last X-Men film - with their decade-jumping, the next one after Dark Phoenix would take us back to the early 2000s, matching up with the original film and coming full circle in a really nice way. Say that would all be done by 2020/2021, you could start integrating the rebooted characters in from the second half of Phase Four (or whatever they call the next stage). No rush.
