The X-Men Universe is a big one, with soon to be 7 movies it would feel weird if the two universes were blended so quickly. MCU history has made no reference to mutants, and the mutant story can go back decades before WW2. I believe if mutants did exsist with the MCU we should of learned about them by now. Mutant abilities also dwarf the abilities of the Avengers. How do you compare Earth's mighty heroes to X-Men; the two could counter each other out. Don't get me wrong, I love the X-Men, but the 2 universes colliding with each other would involve too much info being thrown at the audience, not every movie-goer can wrap their mind around so much plot.
