How could they introduce mutants in the MCU anyway? We had the Inhumans fill in the role for the mutants, and the word "mutant" was never uttered throughout this long franchise despite the mutants are always talked about in politics. And at this point, when a mutant shows up, they would likely be mistaken for an Inhuman. An entire superpower minority that just randomly became a thing hardly works. Coulson didn't believe in Telepathy in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 1 despite the X-Men being led by a famous telepath. It sure doesn't look like S.H.I.E.L.D. has ever heard of the X-Men or mutants. I feel like it's too late to introduce them. If they kept themselves secret, why haven't they come out when other superhumans came? At least a small team like the Fantastic Four is easy to introduce. But the X-Men and the whole mutant race? Where have they been?
