Personally, I don't really want anything like that, for the same reason I don't want Tom Holland in Venom or a bridge between the X-Men Universe and the MCU, because I don't like the idea of Sony and/or Fox dirtying, for lack of a better word, the MCU. The X-Men Universe and Sony-only Spider-Man films are both very much a mixed bag, and have nothing to do with Marvel Studios and their canon, and something about the idea of a muddied canon and all that makes me uncomfortable. Probably just my OCD. To be fair, the idea behind such a crossover is that the Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield Spider-Men team up with Tom Holland Spider-Man in order to combat some kind of multiversal threat that's targeting them. They would still obviously be from different universes.

The MCU X-Men are definitely gonna be a rebooted version, since the events of the X-Men movies are not compatible with the MCU, there's no way to integrate stuff like Apocalypse attacking the world at large in the 80s without anyone ever bringing it up until now (especially when you consider that SHIELD didn't even believe that telepathy was real at the time of the first season of the show).

Sony's Marvel Universe is a far more tricky thing. People at Sony have insisted that it's in the same world as (or at least "adjunct" to) the MCU. Marvel, however, have remained mostly tight-lipped on the matter. I'm guessing it's gonna depend on the reception Venom will get. If it turns out to be good, Marvel can casually accept it (or at least continue remaining ambiguous), if it's bad, they can disown it.
