At this point if Fox wants that X-MEN TV Series its either going to take place in the MCU or it won't happen at all.

Marvel doesn't want anything to detract from the Inhumans they have going on at Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Marvel doesn't want Fox to compete with them on the TV front, unless they get some of the X-MEN Characters, and the Fantastic Four.

Marvel has all the leverage at this point They have The Avengers, Iron Man, and Spider-Man characters that make alot more money than the X-MEN and the Fantastic Four as whole, and they have a more successful franchise.

The Fantastic Four is a damaged brand that Fox can't trade for X-MEN TV rights, because Marvel can get them for free, by letting the rights simply lapse, the shareholders at Fox aren't going to let them waste anymore money making another failed Fantastic Four movie that would do worse than the 2005, 2007, and 2015 ones, and they have been on constant downward spiral ever since, the brand is damage and unless its Marvel Studios well no one is going to watch it apart from the two people on this earth that actually like the Fantastic Four.

The only possible way an X-MEN TV Series is happening is if.

1. It takes place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe

2. Marvel Studios gets the Fantastic Four, Wolverine, Sabertooth, Mystique, Charles Xavier, Magneto, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Toad, Shadowcat, Havok, Beast, Nightcrawler, Storm, Gambit, Deadpool, Bolivar Trask, maybe( Rogue, and Iceman), Polaris(If they don't share her), and The Entire Hellfire Club as well as the right to use the name X-MEN in Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D, and in the Avengers, but not on the title of. Fox will have enough to make an X-MEN TV Series and very good X-MEN movies
